pan11435's August 9th and 10th update

[pan11435]

Just back and I figured I would mention a few things.

---Animal Kingdom
- Noticed lots of activity for a Saturday morning at the everest site. Still not too much to look at though.
- didn't get to see the baby elephant.

---Epcot
- Started raining about 11:00 and didn't stop the entire time there.
- They have radio broadcast booths up to the right of MS
- Glass panel is gone between singles and stand-by lines.
- I rode 3 time bringing my total to 5. 2 Blue, 1 Red, and 2 green. I can honestly say I noticed no difference between rides. I think this more intense less intense thing is just an illusion. I felt it was just as intense as it was a month ago.

---Studios
- Rode RnRC and had no problems at all. Same with ToT. Tower was a 50 min wait. And RnRC was 60 min.
- Residential street is now completly gone as with the church and landscaping. You can now see strait to the Canyon from NY street.
-They ran the parade in the rain. I didn't think the would.
- Say tons of osborne lights in the hunchback theater as well as part of a new facade overlooking it. Oddly enough it has a very San Fransisco look to it.
-The rain stopped for Fantasmic which was great. Everything seemed to run perfectly.


Oh and MS is now on the cover of the Epcot maps as well as on the map. The large map at pin central now has MS on it as well.

It's great to hear that they put it on the map. Disneyworld.com still just has a green space where the ride is supposed to be, yet the official MS site has the illustration.

Pan, or anyone else, if you have time and the resources, would you mind posting the new front of the Epcot maps with MS on it? I'm curious to see how it looks. Is it the outside of the buidling or a picture of the pods? Thanks in advance

It's nice to have someone disagree with me for once. You didnt notice a difference in the fuges, I did. I am sticking by my original thought, and, there IS noticible difference between the fuges. Im not trying to persuade you to my way of thinking, but, all I can say is, next time, ride Red, try to lift your legs up, then ride Green, and try it....Maybe you'll see it that way. Either way...GREAT UPDATE!!!:sohappy:

When I rode it last week during the AP weekend, I rode gold, blue and red numerous times. I never really thought there was any difference in forces that weekend between any fuges. At the beginning of the week I noticed red had rumbling seats that the other two didn't have during launch, but by Sunday, it seemed that gold and blue had that too during launch. (This could just be that I never noticed the rumbling until I got on red and then noticed it on the other two). I rode red three times in a row and then blue right after that during the AP weekend and I never noticed any difference. That isn't to see there isn't. With 4 fuges and 10 pods in each, it is possible you may feel slightly different things from pod to pod in the same fuge room even. As for green, I don't know what to believe.

I will say this, the first time I did red was on July 26th and it was the first time I ever felt queasy afterwards. I felt so weird afterwards, that I actually told someone since I never felt that way before and my dad felt so bad he had to go back to the hotel right away. If that had been my first time on MS, I don't think I would do it again (let alone so many I lost count :lol: ). Also, everyone who came off that trip looked "ill", nowhere near the excitement I had seen from my previous trips in fuge gold and blue. So I too thought red was a lot more intense. However, unless I became conditioned, red was the same as gold and blue by the AP weekend and I felt no signs of "weakness", not to mention the other people who were on the red fuge seemed to love it! My thought is it was still being tweaked and it was fixed. Or perhaps it had to do with the fact it broke down right before we were to enter our pods and they had to run it once without anyone. They still may be tweaking things. Just my take on it.

I would post a pic but I don't know how.
