But wouldn't this balance also involve the keeping of Spaceship Earth (as it's the last AA ride-through)?wannab@dis said:

I see where you are coming from, but I have a feeling that even with a redesign of SSE, they would still use the omnimover format which lends itself to AA usage.

It is the job of the legions of Disney fans to save this beloved symbol of all that is Disney. Without us, SSE will end up as another one of Epcot's many forgotten attractions.

I don't see the gutting of spaceship Earth happening...it is a classic in which people still talk about "riding in the huge golfball"...I believe not even Eisner is idiotic enough to get rid of this classic ride...I would not be surprised if hey took some time to refurb...but I have my doubts if they will demolish the timeless feel of the ride...nonetheless...just in case....

Do you all seriously think Disney cares about this, they are going to do what they want
I love SSE and don't think it is wise to change it as most people still like it. I would like to see it get a major rehab and maybe an update of the same concept just with new AA and scenes depicting newer communication technology. I think the ride system is in the most need of rehab as it is getting pretty noisy.

I've come to understand that SSE (for the time being) is safe, because any other type of ride would compromise the structural integrity of disney's most photographed monument. Last time I was there (March 04) I asked as many CMs as I could and they all unanimously declared that SSE should be good for at least another 5 years. There is no need to worry quite yet.
That said, I've been doing heavy thinking on the subject of Epcot Center recently. I've decided that although it's sad and depressing, the best thing to do is to let go and accept change. The memory of Epcot Center will live on in us all, and therefore it's something special that we share, a love of a place WE knew. Millions of first timers come to Epcot yearly, and will never know of Epcot Center...it is ours.
Don't let the memory die. But try not to get caught up in the past - it makes it tough to enjoy the now. Epcot as it stands now is still a pretty cool place. I'm tired of going there and spending all of my inward thinking on pointless lamentation. I want to enjoy the enjoyable. If nothing ever progressed we'd still be using wax candles as a primary light source.

The problem that I think many have is that "progress" in management's eyes is no AA's, more, cheaper thrill rides, and less of an experience than the old. "Fool them into thinking they are having a good time." I would love to see SSE updated - new AA's, upgrade or renovate the omni-mover, and a better show ending (the current one has never done much for me).

Primeval Whirl??? Not exactly huge thrills but before the Chester And Hester junk was built there was no reason to go to dinoland. Now everybody's walking away with chester and hester toys.

What will continue to draw people back to WDW - Mission: Space, or POTR? The point I was trying to make is that thrill rides aren't going to draw people back in 5-10 years - they get tired of them, unless the ride is unbeliveably good. Disney has a reputation, a history, of creating rides that stand the test of time. Unfortunately, they don't pass the test of current management.

I pray they dont change SSE. I love it just the way it is. I even think the AA's are fine too. I guess thats just me though. Im not a big fan of change. I like things as they are. Im getting sick of Disney thinking they always hafta change things. Some things are better left the way they are. ( though It's a Small World DEFINETLY needed to be updated!
