Bring back Tomorrow's Child already! Its been absent from Epcot for too long!
I think all of the Epcot songs should return in some shape or form. :)

Eagerly awaiting!:D:wave:
 
I'm praying for Tomorrow's Child.

The triangles were glowing blue, but very lightly, so it was very hard to tell. However, there were a LOT more than a few weeks ago. I mean I was really surprised!

Since this big refurb, the mammoth cave painting has been animated, yes.

I'm sorry if this has been talked about. But are these screens going to have images projected on them? Or are they going to be like the screens in the ride vehicles? :shrug:

Strong rumor suggests that certain triangle panels will have LED projections, whether it be of children, or our faces, or something else, not sure. I doubt it will be the same silly animation we see on the vehicle screens.

I think this was the computer system people have been talking about. I didnt get a great shot of it though cause my friend was too into touching the screen :brick:

When I went back in December of 08, I didn't notice any of that stuff. If the triangles were there, there weren't that many. Something is definitely going down for the decent, which leaves me excited.

also quick note. on the ascent some of the curtains(yep, curtains there too) were pulled back a bit. Can anyone else confirm this? or know of any reason why there are curtains there in the first place or if there is more work being done there as well?

I would assume those were there because work was being done behind them or to cover up the old ending that wasn't being used...

I just wonder when we're going to finally see something in the end? I don't even care if its a year from now as long as I can have some date to pinpoint. Knowing that there's something there just waiting to be revealed is like waiting for Christmas, but never knowing when its going to be. I don't mind the wait for it since I know its Dec 25th, but if I had to just wait and be surprised it would be horrible.

I have gone ahead and lightened up the photos posted a bit earlier. It makes it much easier to see.

On this one, I am correct without-a-doubt about what I had stated previously about the circles appearing on the triangles. They definitely are just fire suppression equipment, and not sensors for detecting vehicles, data readers, or any other such speculation. The size and shape of the circle, and pipe fitting above just prove it is a sprinkler. Also, to address the idea that the triangles up there are LCD screens of some sort... no. They all look like black canvases based off of their thickness, the "folding" of the fabric around the corners, etc. It's not to say that LCDs couldn't be put up there in the future, but what's up there right now definitely do not look to be LCDs. Sorry to disappoint, guys.​

I have no idea WHAT this is, but it doesn't look like a computer to me. It sort of reminds me of a spinning mobile of some sort. Take a look, the large box underneath looks like a motor casing, with the axle coming out, and then the "antennas" mounted to a base on the axle.​

Thanks for the pictures!! Its even uglier in person, you can still see all that mess even in the dark. Its a little dissapointing those are just sprinklers through the triangles. So maybe the triangles will just have color shining on them afterall and not projections, but thats fine, anything is better than the current state.
Lets have a rip the curtains down party! :sohappy: They gotta go.

Yep, these were installed in 1994. They span slowly, and each `arm` sticking out had stars on it, creating a slowly moving starfield.

Goodness, this is odd. How sure are we that those are sprinklers? They still don't look like it to me.:wave:

Also...Why not reactivate the moving star-field effect? It would fit and was very pretty.

It would be nice to have something other than a couple of Triangles.

They definitely are sprinklers. I know this because I used to do a lot of maintenance work when I was younger which involved me changing ceiling tiles, replacing light bulbs, and stringing network wiring above the drop ceiling.

That is most definitely a concealed sprinkler head (known as a concealed pendant), and the pipe fittings and pipe hanger confirm that it is a sprinkler. All the wishful thinking that it is something else just doesn't change the reality that it is a simple fire sprinkler.
