anyones else think that the large load/unload wall mural is going to be totally different? The way that ride has been walled off and sealed from top to bottom, I just have a feeling when it reopens we may get a surprise there with a new mural behind the boats.

That's doubtful. I think they just didn't want people to see boats going by.

I agree completely. It's like everyone wants to be a comedic one up-man. The jokes were okay to begin, but now that they've essentially been recycled thousands of times, they have lost any comedic value and are just annoying. It's especially annoying when you have 10 straight posts or so of people trying to 'best' one another with their variation of a dumb Stitch joke.

Then again, I really hate a lot of the dumb internet sayings ("thread win" comes to mind as one that is especially abrasive. How the hell do you 'win' a thread? Most discussions are inherently subjective. Should we just cease conversation when someone is declared 'winner'?) and intentionally misspelling words or omitting for the sake of being hip ("haz", "WANT", etc.). I really don't understand why people can't just converse online the same way they would in person. Although, maybe that is how kids these days are conversing in person. It may seem cool to converse with like age people using such slang, but I would hazard a bet that most people over the age of 30 think you sound like an idiot (heck, I'm under the age of 30, and I think people sound like idiots when they post in such a manner).

Agreed. The only thing more annoying than Stitch jokes are the "they're adding a loop" jokes.

All I have to say is, this MADE MY DAY!

We'll be there on the 10th! So excited!

I have always loved this attraction, and imagine my surprise when
my kids did, too. I expected them to think it was boring or something.
I can hardly wait to tell them when they get home from school today!

Hmm, what's next, Space Mountain early open? Somehow, I doubt that,
but that's OK.

Escept the company doesn't view it like that at all, nor do they plan these "prefrubs".

I love LWTL, it'd be lame if I missed it as well.

I'm right about them but sirgoofy will never admit it because it is not a word Imagineering uses. If they are now changing the ride and other maintenance with the idea of adding new boats later, then this is a classic prefurb.

How about this scenario:

-New boats are scheduled to be delivered at "x" time, so they schedule
a refurb to get them into place.

-Boats arrive but are sized incorrectly and are problematic. A number
of quick fixes are brainstormed.

-Nothing seems to work, the new boats really need to be reconfigured.
It's going to take too much time. So . . . .

-They ship the new boats back to where they were made (or more likely
call a crew out to GET IT RIGHT) and plop the old ones back in for a while,
while they get the new boats ready to go.

Why keep the attraction closed when you have perfectly good boats
just sitting there that work?

Just speculation, but that's what occurred to me . . . .

Honestly, if anything was a prefurb, it was SSE. They closed it in 2006, closed it for a weekend in 2007 and then closed it for the actual WORK. Then they reopened it half done.


Well done on the prefurb.:lookaroun

The one that annoys me is asking for "Pics?", as if the original poster has them and has forgotten to post them or is holding them back, or is going to go "oh, I'm so sorry I didn't take pictures for you" and go back, take them and post them.

Posters are just having fun when they do that stuff, that's all. Saying 'win' is just another way of expressing amusement or appreciation for a particular statement, nothing more. And from most of the posters I've seen on here, usually when they're doing the misspelling thing, it's with a level of satire towards the truly inane lolgirlz-type texting/posting culture.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man. I fully understand satire, but I don't find satire all that funny when there is no substantive content to it. Mocking an annoying posting style with the same posting style is still annoying to me. Even if I do have the knowledge that the poster mocking the style is intelligent, the style itself is inherently annoying (at least to me). Why duplicate it? To me, good satire has some substance to it so that isn't a valid rationale; in essence, the supposed satire has just contributed to the annoyance.

Like I said, though, this is probably just me being an ornery person. I know a lot of people write like that here and in general, so obviously I am in the minority.

Oh, I hear ya, I think some of it is stupid, too. I just try to give my fellow posters the benefit of the doubt.

Wow....

I guess I was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

I have edited my previous post and will never, ever, ever use the word $t!tch on here again.
