Spaceship Earth Decent Upgrades?

[EPCOT Explorer]

So with the information I provided...is it possible that we can expect answering our video questions in the ascent, watching our videos right after the infinite stars, and sit back and enjoy Siemen's blue triangle tomorrow's counsin's child 2.0 generation 21 finale? :lol: :lookaroun

That might be an good opertunity to do it...Or as we round the corner in the 180 top?

But then again...Why can't we just leave it inthe descent?TC could still play while we make our choices...right?:shrug:

Can I? Please? Pretty please???

After 22 pages, would it be possible to fix the spelling in the thread title?

"After 30,000 years of time travel,here we are...still with the wrong tittle and no decent descent on this...our WDWMagic..":lol::sohappy:

I would change the title if i knew how to.

I think only the Moderators can do that.:shrug:

A simple PM will do.


And while we are on the subject...Does any one know WHY the actually ran out of money for the descent? I was sure that Siemens was gonna do this thing right seeing that they are very interested in EPCOT...Does anyone think the Wand Removal Budget ate it up?:shrug:

It was more time than money. Again, against better judgement, park ops wanted the attraction open as soon as. It`s happened elsewhere. Money was ploughed into having an attraction presentable to guests before Christmas 2007. WDI wanted ownership until February of this year. And now they have to finish the job during 3rd shift.

This seems to be a recurring theme here...why on earth do people (be they management or sponsors) seem to feel that closing one attraction for any time longer than six months will result in a drastic attendance drop if the end result turns out to be an awesome attraction?

Exactly. If you're operating on that narrow a margin, shouldn't you whip up some new attractions so you can spare a single ride for a few months?

No, I think the wand itself ate the budget...:lookaroun

Hell, I think they can spare it now!

Almost - it began still during the descent, where the peppers ghosts were in `94.

Could be my imagination but was the peppers ghost scene originally from Horizons?

My initial guess is no...the Pepper's Ghost was put into SSE in 1994, and Horizons was still operational then...but I could very well be wrong.

There were Peppers Ghost effects in Horizons--namely the "holographic" phone in one scene and possibly some others. However, the actual scenes were completely different.

 

[marni1971]

As the Captain said Horizons had 2 peppers ghost effects - the latter could play on the mind since it wasn`t dissimilar to the Irons descent effect. Both however existed at the same time.

As always...

There were a few...But I don't think they hauled them out of Horizons for new SSE.

I'm sorry everyone, but I'm a little lost. Is there a time frame as to when we might see these changes that have been talked about?

Some say soon, some say later. I think it might be one of those things that just all of the sudden appears out of nowhere since they will be completing it during night shifts apparently. Unless they close the ride for an amount of time, we wont know probably until someone rides through, sees it, and reports it. The good thing is at least they know they need to finish it, and they know that quite a few are not happy.

If it happens-by 2011.

As for it being refurbed..It is rumored that it is being worked on by night...They might need to close it for a few days at least.
