Gravity Wheel Not Turning at Mission: SPACE

[danheaton]

Worst part was the Neil Armstrong Audio was still working. That was terrible agreed.

Right! You have the same audio and narration, and the family is just watching nothing. And it was off for a really long time!

Wow, thanks for the bump. I honestly forgot it was supposed to spin. It's been so long, I've become used to it.

That’s what they want.

Apparently it’s really difficult to keep things spinning.

Apparently they only have problems with things that rotate - they remain very good at spinning things (like stories).

For once, a relevant thread bump! Considering the gravity wheel still doesn't spin.

@articos Weren't there plans in the works to finally repair this show element? Did they ultimately just give up? I'm no longer with the company, so my info has been pretty limited these days. Not that my info could have ever competed with you or Martin!

So, what’s a rough estimate of how much $ it would cost to fix the gravity wheel?

Oy. Between this, the Garden Grill and the curtains in UoE, is there anything working properly at Epcot?

Wow, we can see how this thread is 'long in the tooth'. I think we'd have a little bit of trouble finding those UofE curtains!!

$364,000,000. Once Rafiki’s Planet Watch has been closed for 78 years, they’ll have saved enough.

The greatest journey of all time - for all to see!

Yes. I wasn’t aware it was still inoperative. I don’t know what happened. Sometimes if parts are unavailable or if the budget isn’t available, the repair gets put on hold. As time goes on, it just gets put aside and never happens. And things get forgetten as new cast and management rotate in.
