It Would be the mother of E ticket rides!! Next to the Frozen ride!!

 

[Movielover]

I just hope it doesn't close before February 28th!

Is there a possibility they’ll wait til May or June when Ratatouille opens? So in a capacity sense, they have a new ride compensate the loss?

 

[montyz81]

When they’re ready?

I think we can expect SSE to close in Feb 2020 and reopen around Feb of 2022. That’s based on me attempting to read between the lines.

I’m betting the story light thing will most likely be a projection like Tinkerbell in the Peter Pan queue.

The evil genius @realBobChapek has decided to rename the redo to, wait for it......

SpaceMONIUS.


Doing this will accomplish his sharp pencil dream of:

- more synergy
- more Disney
- more money for R&D on cupcake variations

Spaceship Earth will close on Labour Day and never reopen, despite an internal calendar showing a Christmas reopening.

10 years later it will be replaced with a toddler's playground occupying a fraction of that space.

Then 8 years later we'll have "the biggest expansion in Epcot history!" where the main thing to do will be another overpriced restaurant.

What do you guys feel the most likely thing is that’ll happen to 180 top/space station for the refurb?

Since this is now located in “World Celebration” (whatever the heck that is), I am preparing myself that it will have an entirely new “story” about um...celebrating the world, or something.

Deep man... How long did it take you to think up that?

Probably about as long as it did for Disney to come up with World Celebration...

I might as well leak the plans:

The building behind SSE will be replaced. This is where the new entrance and exit will be. Adding to the ride length.

The beginning is a brief introduction to the new theme: storytelling. Then we move up, as always. To the origins of storytelling: a family gathered around the fire to share story time together. Then the ride follows familiar scenes: the Egyptians wrote down their stories, papyrus and hieroglyphs. Phoenician alphabet, Roman spread of civilisation, burning of Alexandria, etc. Then the explosion of new storytelling media from the modern period: movies to families gathered around the fire, erm tv, as storytelling brings them together. The rider learns that Disney is the culmination of this: storytelling that brings your family together. That unites people, from your family to the entire world. This is the theme of the 180 top, images of earth, Disney stories, and people united by them.

Basically history culminates in Disney+.

So basically it's going to be a salute to all things, but mostly Disney...

Lovely.

I’m honestly not sure if this is a joke or a very accurate depiction of what is coming. That’s where we are today with WDI.

Ah yes, you reach 180 top only to discover window girl chilling in the cylinder on her smart phone reading some online story instead of paying attention and helping the riders, you then pass through the descent with various screens showing people’s Snapchat stories at the park.
