The last time I saw a 30 minute line for JII, I wasn't sure whether to be ed off that it had a line, or happy to see people actually in the area enjoying themselves.

I like it as well primarily because it has Figment and "One Little Spark".

Exactly. Stop comparing it to the old one, and it is a great C Tic.

I can't believe at this point, the ride will be closing. Major attraction or not, I doubt Disney would give less than a week's notice for a closure on anything.
Very relieved. LWTL is one of those attractions that I just love about Epcot. Can't explain what exactly, but I do love it.

I would be pretty shocked if the ride was down come Aug 3 and we get a update.:lol:
I'm happy too....Love LWTL..Very much a part of classic EPCOT.

Just got off the phone yet again and they have nothing about this in thier refurb system. I am about 99% sure that this is false and like I said before the ride doesnt have to shut down at all for new boats.

Also just spoke w/ WDW again (for what it's worth), and was again assured there were no operational updates with LWTL throughout August.
Despite WDW's history for inaccurate phone info, I can't imagine they'd start anything before September at this point. A month out would be reasonable notice, I suppose. That, combined with no FIRM confirmation from any of the usual suspects leads me to believe we're open through at least August.

Except for those special effects, it did bomb.
If they somehow integrated the concrete brick or free-swimming fish in the current version...
^^^ And it's false? Sounds good!

Yeah, that was all it was good for.:lol:
I remember getting off of it on 2000 and asking "Where's Figment!?"

What was the response you got? "Disappeared due to a sudden lack of imagination from Disney?" :lookaroun

what a bizarre and disappointing turn of events.
I won't dispute there's always reason to be happy/excited when an attraction goes down for refurb, and I won't argue that it gets a bit tiresome (if understandable) when people flip out because their favorite ride will be closed for their trip -- but this was handled VERY questionably. Up to the day before closing, WDW Guest Relations is telling guests over the phone and in person that LwtL is absolutely NOT closing anytime in August or the foreseeable future, it's not on any calendar, any operations schedule - and now this... no details, no public plan, no nothing. And it is NOT a case of a sudden dire need for maintenance, as the rumors kicked up 14 pages ago were clearly correct. I'm highly, highly disappointed.
