Cool! I went on it just recently and there was no line. We went straight in. This will be great because at times it seems a little out-dated. Still a great ride either way.

I was recently at Central Shops and all I saw was a few Maelstrom boats, some studio tour trams and ... oh yeah, a giant Simba float from some parade (or perhaps even the LK show at DAK, although looked too big).
If so, I'm glad to see an EPCOT classic get some more TLC ... and I will say Land recently got new carpeting on the entire second level ... on a down note, the queue for Soarin was a disgrace and the filth from the AC ducts falling onto white light fixtures is just really bad show.

They really need to modernize the final scene just before unload. Then it will be perfect. Thanks for the news!!!!!!!!!!!

I have cleaned those personally back in February on a scissors lift. They are only cleanned that way about once every 6 months though because it would be an on-going job otherwise (there's not enough lifts or trained staff to operate the equipment every night).
The carpeting on the second level was replaced in March. It hides the gum better than the old stuff. :lol:

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!:brick: Another one of our favorites down while we are there! Will they still have the behind the seeds tour? We were planning on taking the tour for the first time.

Probably. Behind the Seeds ran during the last refurbishment in 2006.

That makes way too much sense for it to ever happen.

I have not been on this ride in probably 16 years or so. I remember not liking it as a kid.

Perhaps a new sponsor is helping to foot the bill???

Has anyone confirmed this ? I just looked and it is not listed as closed ? Thanks

I was thinking the same thing.
It would shock me at thing point to close it on, what, 12 days notice. They have already announced Donald's Boat going down, so I figured a bigger attraction would get more attention.

You too?
yea, I might be heading there on my trip to Europe this fall. If I'm already in Europe why not hit Disneyland Paris while I'm at it!

Since there's still not been any kind of official announcement about this so-called refurb, my fingers will stay crossed that I can check it out at the end of September on my next trip.

Aww. I might be in town when this is down. One of my favorites from the EPCOT Center era.
At least it's getting some TLC, though!:sohappy: I'll be interested to see the new one.

i felt the same way. When i was a kids my parents would drag me and my brothers on this ride every year. When i went back in 07 went on it for the first time in forever and actually found it very interesting. Seems you need to be an adult to appreciate this ride

Not at all. I was fascinated on it....
...and a ton of kids freak out when they see the huge vegetables. It's pretty cute.:lol:
