I seem to remember Juan saying he was going to post some pics. Did he?

Just got home, now with fast internet

LOVE the Monobeam! That's seriously clean! Make the rest look like that!:sohappy:


And LOVE the SSE.

Piece of construction equipment in Fantasyland (most likely nothing, but who knows)

Inside WoL (it was very hard to tell where Body Wars and Cranium Command used to be.)

A couple random shots

I was wondering the same thing. :shrug: Never seen them before!

They look like DL SM's marque.:lookaroun


No, seriously.

The red is different, though...

Makes me wonder what the deal is with cleaning only one beam. Perhaps some outside vendor cleaned one beam to try and sell Disney on their steam cleaning service? :shrug:

Perhaps the A/C themeing you were calling for?

I don't have a memory of what was there before versus what is there now, but they are lights inside a plastic container. There were also spinning lights inside the arcade (not from video games).

:lol: I have no idea. Maybe it means they are cleaning them, bit by bit.

That looks like a complete cleaning and wayyyyyyyyyy overdue. But at least it is done right!

Adds to list of aesthetic changes.

This round definitely goes to Epcot.

And MK is penalized a point for making what should be new status boards into a merchandise stand.
:hurl:

up close it looks smoother than the other beams almost as if there were concrete repairs

Ahhhh... So they ARE lights. Very cool.:drevil:

Yes! Very nice. Someone gets it.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Yes! Very nice. Someone gets it.

It's very encouraging for the outside part of this refurb.


Has Steve spoken about that?:lookaroun I have hope!

I have to agree. I'm hoping this was a "test" of the method they intend to use to clean all the beams. They used to be part of the futuristic EPCOT themeing, but they've really become something of an eyesore. My last few visits I've wondered why Disney let them get that grungy. A good cleaning will go a long way to improve the visuals in FW.
