Ok kids, here we go

At MGM, I thought I'd test out the new movie ride. Nothing Majorly different, but a few script changes, and overall, its pretty nifty.

RNRC was up and running the whole time I was there. I rode it, and it was all good. Still quite bumpy, but audio didnt give, and the brakes werent to bad.

One Sunset Blvd., they did a switcheroo. They moved the Super Pretzel over to the Anaheim Produce (a picnic area) and made almost a small snack bar out of it. The area where the pretzel stand used to be is now a picnic area.

I walked over to NY street, and saw all the construction. It looked nothing more to me but another Facade. I dont know what relation it had to a stunt show. All the Osborne stuff is in the Hunchback theater

By the way, dont know how long this has been on the Menu, but Rosie's now serves BBQ Chicken Pizza

All in all, MGM was pretty busy in my standards. TOT had 50-70 Minute wait all day, while RNRC had a 55 Minute wait, and Little Mermaid had 120 Mintues.

So, in my mind, when a park is to busy, I hop on a bus, and go somewhere else....EPCOT

There is a big construction wall up by the Germany Pavilion in World Showcase. BIG BIG WALL....

The planters that were used for the Mission:SPACE cast preveiw are now over in the East breezeway.

Now, on to Mission:SPACE....I did get to ride it again, and it was awesome as always. My total count is up to 6 (Beat that Kenan lol). They didnt open it til about 4:30, and we were egged on by CM's from 3:50-til it opened..Well, I was near the front, so I didnt Have to wait, but there are still some problems, and a new feature I didnt notice before. In the False Mission control area, They put in new and very bright lights to make all the switches look industrialized and silver (oooo aaaaa). 2 things I noticed didnt quite add magic to the experience.
1)There is this weird thing that pops up in the preshow that is like a blue and red measurement thing. This didnt happen the very first day I rode, but every day after, its been coming up.
2)Already, Capcom Tv's are blacking out, and weird lines show up near the bottom. The Tv's in the capsules are worse, where they go off for 30 seconds at a time, and the voice and mouth movement werent matching up. No surprise, these are the same Tv's used in the TT cars.

That wraps it up for today, Pics will be up very soon.

Talk to you folks later

Great update!!!!!!


One question......When Space opens, does it get really busy, like, how long would you think the wait was? what was the longest you waited?

I don't think I'll ever ride MS. I got the thing for the AP preview and was going to go down but I can't because I have a softball tournament. Aaahhh! This is getting annoying. I think I'm hopin in someone's suitcase and going down there just to ride it. :) O well hopefully I'll be down there again by the time this year is over!

I noticed this too. The first day I rode, 6/11, the camera flys directly out of the capsule to show the whole centrifuge. The next day they added a pause after the camera comes out of the capsule, to emphasize "Enclosed Spaces." The camera then pulls out to the whole centrifuge, but the animation at this point seems to be some sort of test render. The entire thing is blocky and untextured, and as you said you can see the colored lines in the center indicating the axes.

I'm sure this will be fixed before opening. They're still tweaking everything.

I noticed that pause tonight, as well as the weird text. I get the feeling they are trying to tweak the pre-show video to put more emphasis on the "dangers" (claustrophobia, spinning, etc.) Not quite there yet, but this is testing.

Right, It says "You will be put in X-2 Flight simulators", or something like that, and the camera stops, and says "Clastraphobia" (sp?) in big letters, then the camera pulls away to show the whole fuge, and thats when it loses color, and turns grey, and yea, it is jaged, and that thing comes up. Btw, did you know those Tv's cost 6000 bucks each?

I seem to recall Mama Melorse changing it's menu up a bit a few months ago. No menus online that I could find listed that pizza so I have to assume it is fairly new.
