Can't the do this at night!?!

I can only imagine the impact this will have on a child who is making their first trip to Epcot! :cry:

I can't imagine it would have much of an impact at all. It's construction and if it's their first trip I don't imagine the removal of the wand would trigger any sort of emotional damage. People do seem so overly sensitive these days.

I shall miss the wand. It was a nice photo opportunity at night.

That's the problem. The WAND shouldn't be the photo opportunity...SSE should. Which is why I am glad this is happening. SSE changing colors is a wonderful "kodak moment"!

I am really excited...we'll finally get some SSE-wand wallpaper goodness. Digital cameras weren't quite all the rage yet when the wand went up...

Plus on my next trip I won't have to just take a picture of half of SSE :)

Iam not sure if I am happy or sad. I wasn't crazy about it when they put it up....but now I am used to it. It's been almost 8 years.

Having the main attraction of your park down is not good for guest relations...I can see why they would hurry.

Very good point. I can't believe how quickly this is going either though - at this rate you'd expect the thing to be gone by next week!!!

A part of me still can't believe that, after all the many YEARS of bellyaching about this thing, it is now ACTUALLY coming down... while I'm excited to see SSE in its' fully glory, a part of me is sad to see the wand be taken down in daylight, in full view of the guests...

It's become Epc. Must be a typo for Epic which is exactly what the wand removal is. Also if they fixed Imagination AGAIN though the right way.

They're going to move the C over and add an I. It's gonna be changed to "EPIC" park, a thrill-oriented ride park.

I know they're going to refurb the Seas ride. Same ride, but it's going to go faster.

And Soarin' will be upside down and you'll fly through EPIC war scenes.

We could only be so lucky. The faster I get off that thing the happier I will be.

I heard from a CM who had talked to a bus driver who talked to someone VERY CLOSE to an imagineer that they will be adding a Scotland pavillion and Mel Gibson will do a daily show! :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Can't they tear that wand down any faster?? Maybe attach a nice long chain to a fleet of awaiting tanks in the parking lot, and just drag it over to the new Harry Potter section of Universal?

I can't wait to see SSE back to normal again. That is going to look just fabulous!! It's been too long!
