Everytime I've been through the line while Imagineers were tinkering with the games, they were doing so with: Macs.
I think the problem here is, instead, no one told them Mac + Game = Incompatible. :lol:

The two-tone Mountain with the top being white and the bottom being an off-white/grey has been like that for years. I have photos of it like that from Dec 2005. Back then I thought I was taking a photo of the mountain midway through a repainting job. Then it never changed....
(This was taken near sunset so it's a little dim, but the difference between the upper level and even the spires that come down to meet the lower ribs is much more noticeably white than the lower section)
But if they're pressure-washing the exterior, it may be making the difference in the paint colors more noticeable.

I never noticed it before so I assumed it was the effect of the pressure washing mentioned before on this site.
One way or another, it needs to white completely.

Ugh....So what were they pressure washing for?!
The gate mirors SM, that way...Love this gate. It is completely not like me to like something that is not symmetrical.... but I dig it.
These trains looks extremely s e x y. Love the colors and the paint design. Even the font for the numbers. Perfect.
MACS sound better when you have to Crtl + Command + Power Button :lol:
That is opposite in my house.
That's most likely why.:lol:Trains look nice, yes.
Mac doing that? Never!:king:
Very true....though that is changing.

I use to have the thinking in my field of work that "if it isnt a right angle, its a wrong angle"... basically meaning if something isnt symmetrical, plum and/or even it drove me nuts. I have evolved as a person.The gate mirors SM, that way...

Naaah. I have never seen the kernel/code splash on my screen like a scene out of 2001 Space Odyssey and then lock up. NEVER!

Never? I get from time to time, and I never know what to do. Shutting it off helps:lookaroun

I'm not sure if anyone has posted an update about this, but one of the new games has showed up in the queue. I played one yesterday that involved gathering different items like Mickey ears, space boots, and other items as they floated around the room. I assume that this is the game they said would involve collecting lost items in the Spaceport. It was a fun game and I actually didn't mind waiting in standby!

So I rode SM on the 20th and then re-rode this past weekend and noticed a few changes already!
The left (alpha i think) side part of the queue that loops behind the wall now has black cloth over all of the portals. I noticed on the 20th before the cloths that there was significant paint chipping around all of the portals.
In the queue, the luggage stack (with the Mesa Verde sticker) had a small box with a sticker of DL's Space Station X-1 ride. As of this past weekend, that box and sticker were gone.

Does anyone know if the star tunnel music has been brought back to the TTA?

It wasn't when I rode today, of course it stopped about 5 times during the ride, mostly in the SM and Buzz areas... :brick:
BTW, it is now PITCH BLACK on the TTA going through SM after the lift hill...you can't see a thing, except some asteroids/stars.

While I am happy they are now re-painting the wall area, kind of wonder what was the point to remove that box. :shrug::lookarounSo I rode SM on the 20th and then re-rode this past weekend and noticed a few changes already!

Yes, and it is pretty much impossible to find the rockets looping through the ride.
Was there any reason for the removal of the luminescent stripes?

I would guess to make the ride darker.

So...Did they ever finish pressure washing SM, or is it still two tone?:hurl:

If it makes you feel better, Disneyland lost its luminescent strips and its Peoplemover. So even if the peoplemover comes back (which is no where in the near future), we won't see any rockets either.
Though it's funny, because I heard the reason to get rid of the strips at DL was because there was no Peoplemover to enjoy them. They must have really been a problem at WDW, I guess.

Actually, I've heard that DL has long been looking at having their PPLM come back.
