I really REALLY hope it's running by June 16 when we are scheduled to go to EPCOT

Tram? Monorail? Or both?


Wrong thread but any info on TTC Trams?

Looks like good Clocks are ticking for the Monorail and EF/Harm! LOL!

Not Harmonious. Forever will return first.

Granted I left out DHS/DAK's Trams but still.....

Will it be missing elements like the jet ski kites? I never saw it but will be there end of July.

Some sections will be reworked.

I'm pretty sure they were literally just re-staging the guest pick up and drop off areas for the trams at EPCOT today, so that probably bodes well.

Some sections will be reworked.

So lights, skis, action will be making a limited run?

I’m guessing unless the plan is to end with a jump through a giant lighted water ring, the area where the risk of a kite won’t get snagged accidentally may be too small now.

The kites weren't working back in March 2020, so I'd be curious if they fixed them or are changing things up.

I was there the first week of March, which I think was literally the week before they closed, and the kites were functioning. Did they break in the last week?

We were there until the 11th and I believe they were working.

Just trying to make sure the kites only cover the nose and mouth while not blocking the jet ski drivers' eyes.

Yes WdW should be close to it’s pre pandemic glory by my August trip!

My guess is the kites were functioning. There are always variables that may prevent them from being included in a particular show. I'm pretty sure if they were actually cut back in March there would have been a thread about it here.

Our trip was early March for the opening of Runaway Railway. The kites flew, but none of them lit up and none of them produced fireworks on two separate nights. Lots of confusion overheard from those standing around us.

I only went to EPCOT Forever once over the week that I was there, but I just checked and definitely have footage from March 3, 2020 of the kites fully illuminated.

Glad it wasn't every night. Without the kites the show is obviously way worse, but also very confusing if you've never seen it before.

There were... issues with them.
