Giving up on Disney is a rational response given the companies current trajectory focus on the good that you have gotten from Disney and find something new.
I know i have the money that Disney USED to get from me is being spent locally now.
The custom trucks i always wanted to build well that Disney money allows me to build them now and that IFR rating I wanted to add to my pilots license is in reach now.
Its scary that that a Disney buffet meal for one is nearly the price of an hour of flight instruction. (-plane rental if you or instructor dont own)
As to life you never know what tomorrow will bring and im curious enough to always want to be around to find out.
That said dont expect my criticism of Disney to stop anytime soon because i want others to have the amazing experiences that i had in the past as well

Maybe when they get bored of this site telling everyone what's happening?

I don't think it can't be fixed, just that Disney has given up on keeping it going. The whole thing is supported and turned by its center axis. That's a lot of weight to support and rotate. I could see how something more like a ferris wheel with the motor at the bottom was nixed over seeing tire marks along the side. This huge thing "floating" is definitely the more impressive sight.

So uh... what's the actual story? I'm going in 60 days and wasn't able to book a Fastpass. What's the sitch?
Since it is scheduled for refurb until at least the end of July, they will probably not open FP until they know for sure that the attraction will actually be open on a particular day.

Ouch I hope Disney felt that burn. Probably didn't though since it's not money on fire.
Good point Martin! It would be a shame if the ride opened with a refreshed queue, ride video, and possibly new pre and post shows and Disney wouldn't make any announcement about it. I mean, they make hUgE announcements about dinner parties...

No. They do not. They make blog posts. The only thing "huge" about it is when people from this site report on the blog post and then make it into a huge deal. I can't think of the last time Disney Parks actually made a huge announcement outside of a pre-scheduled event like D23. Maybe the James Cameron press conference in 2011?

Sorry, I meant huge sarcasticly mainly because people make a big deal about them. They never bothered me but I'm sure someone will get mad about MS getting no attention and reference it.And yes, I meant blog posts. Sorry!

Gotcha. I was thinking back to what it was like around here during the development of New Fantasyland. People would take leaked concept art and insider rumors as set-in-stone promises from Disney and then get all angry when Disney failed to deliver.

I am not planning on that. That phase of my life is (Hopefully) over. As a matter of fact other than Disney and the joke that our political system has become I am actually the most content I have been in years but thanks for the concern.

Out of curiosity, what is the probability of this (or any other for that matter) refurbishment being done by or before the date listed in the refurbishment schedule? We'll be at EPCOT on August 1st (according to the refurbishment schedule, the day it's supposed to reopen). Is the track record pretty decent for refurbishments completing by the dates listed? We'll have several other opportunities in the days after if it doesn't open on Aug 1st exactly, and we're not planning our schedule specifically for the reopening (it was more coincidental).... I'm just curious...

Comparing the cost of a buffet meal to plane lessons is an extreme example of 'apples to orange's'. I think a more fair comparison would be a 120 minute $20.00 IMAX movie, or $100.00 12 hour Magic Kingdom ticket?

They should probably just put a scrim over it and add bubbles. Wait, no that's not right either.Because of how the device is made and assembled mainly with the foundation, in order to repair it they would have to go in and disassemble part of the mountain to reach the AA and...
Hang on I'm getting my notes confused here...
Ah here it is, because of reasons.

Eh I'm all for pointing a strobe light at it. I mean, you pass by it fast enough so I don't think anyone will notice it's not actually spinning.

Bubbles would add some whimsy to the bleakness of black walls and metal.

You mean those blog posts that say "THIS EVENT IS FILLED TO CAPACITY" before you even have a chance to register?

Just putting it out there but I went to Disney last month and had some of the best times I've ever had in my life, just to balance the doom and gloom about the place.
Any hints mission space is moving away from the training aspect and more an immersive 'real' mission?
