With six scenarios, did they expect there to be six physical sets that they quickly swap in and out. Do fully furnished rooms come available like a six CD player?

I've always assumed that even though the ride has only been down for 5 months, the actual prep work (such as AA construction) would have began long before that.

So with the three shafts there could not have been 3 different physical sets that could apply to two different scenarios?
Like Fantasmic says .... IIIIMMMMAAAGGGINNNAAAAttttionnnnn
It's much easier to just get rid of the sets though right?

I'm not sure which is more funny: that a few hundred people actually paid for this event or that those that bought the tickets are considered a solid base. It will be interesting to see the freebies given out listed on ebay the next day though.
Could the Figment nod be an allusion to a Guardians overlay in Epcot's Journey into Imagination? If so, this would be the 2nd nod to Epcot specifically.

I was just going to post in this thread that the annoying TV at the gas station was annoyingly advertising this funny book raccoon nonsense to me while I was filling up. But now y'all are talking about Figment?

What Guardians overlay in Epcot's Journey Into Imagination?

The debate of whether losing Adventure Thru Inner Space to Star Tours was worth it back in the 80's was probably very similar.
"We're losing physical props, set pieces, and an actual ride, for a screen based simulator"
"But look, the queue is more themed!- it has a C-3P0 animatronic"
"But wait, one animatronic isn't enough. We are losing an actual ride for a screen based attraction"
"But there are other animatronics later in the queue!"
"Those are just some skinned birds from America Sings. Disney is CHEAP!"
I could go on. But Star Tours currently has 45 minute plus wait times on the daily, and an extremely popular fast pass- I think the point is the general public doesn't care if an attraction is screen based, as long as what's on the screen looks cool. I mean, half the people watch the fireworks through their 4 inch cell phone screens anyway.

Only difference was Star Tours was the first of its kind and revolutionary back then. It also wasnt an overlay. In Star Tours we re not hopping onto the omnimover and being shrunk down to see microscopic Star Wars characters.

While I agree with you, I have to say this line is one of the silliest things people say when someone confronts another.
Because.. to make a real judgment of the things we see, read and hear.. we have to see them, read them and hear them...
Cant "like" or "hate" if someone doesn't read. someone has TO READ to actually make a judgment.

He's right, but for the wrong reasons.. it was infinitely good on someone's wallet.. which will get a fat bonus for doing so much noise for so little changes.

they should have put both mission and breakout in graffiti. To make it looks like Rocket damaged it.I actually like the sign, except for the ridiculous breakout spray paint look.

Tivan's isnt giving a "mission" afterall.

Took me a while to see it too, but the letters from "Mission" are supposedly torn-off-and-rearranged from the heading
" FIRST TIME ON DISPLAY: "

I wonder how many of them were actually bloggers, mommy bloggers and PR agents.

Well they read and apparently decided they couldn't handle another opinion without posting sarcastic, critical comments. Which, in my opinion, were unwarranted. If They don't like my memes or one liners (which by the way are comedy gold) or the fact that I like something they don't, at that point they can either click the ignore button or act like an adult and be civil.
If I can restrain from posting sarcastic, criticism of other's opinions here, on a Disney forum for god sakes , then anyone can.

Just noticed that as well.
The letters need to be more separate imho, or show damage.
It isnt very apparent in the photo.

I'm curious how many tickets were sold.

They just need to build basements. Gosh, maybe even a few Utilidors, which would be cheaper and easier in Anaheim's sandy soil than Orlando's swamp. Those green pre-fab buildings are the epitome of cheap construction, likely barely rated to handle 7.5 earthquakes and minor tornadoes. The contents of each building costs more than the building itself. They can be replaced quite easily with a basement, it's just going to cost a few million more than a pre-fab metal building would for the same square footage.
A financial reminder: For Fiscal 2017 Second Quarter, January-March '17, the net income (pure after-tax profit) for the Parks & Resorts division of the Walt Disney Company increased 20% to $750 Million. In three months. For just the Parks division. And Easter fell in mid April this year, so March was slower than normal at the theme parks and cruise ships. $750 Million.
They can afford to build a basement.
TOTALLY agree. More basements! (The last major basement built at DL Park was under Village House in the New Fantasyland. (Under Mickey's House in TT is only half below grade and Soarin' is just a sunken attraction). And the only significant second stories are Trattoria and Carthay (both restaurants). The only second floor backstage is a small portion on the back of Little Mermaid, other than the four two-story service buildings on the East side of DCA (the three green buildings to the SE and the Security building on the NE, next to Monsters Inc.).
