Sounds like Mystic Manor’s conceit, just taken as a symbolic rather than literal ‘sparkle’ being applied to things as we ride through each scene. If the ride is shifting it’s focus from communications to storytelling, I’d imagine the light’s function will be to highlight what advances or improves the ability to tell stories. In Egypt’s case, it’s the hieroglyphics.
It’s not a bad idea (if unsubtle), but previously the narration called attention to the communications elements within the scenes, which leaves me to wonder what the narration’s purpose will be in this new version.

I think people should be happy they are even keeping some of the original attraction but I’m no Epcot expert. I can’t wait to see what they are able to create using today’s technology. Projections are a part of any modern Disney ride so I don’t why all of the sudden people are acting brand new about that.

My guess is the narration is gone for good.
After all, it must go. Chapek will want to play the trailers of upcoming Disney movies on the in-vehicle screens throughout the ride!
Is it, though? It's too dim for me to see if they are actually projecting anything.
I had gotten into the habit that if I was going on SSE during daylight hours, to close one eye as I'm getting in the queue (almost always FP, which is almost always available day-of). Then I open it once in the dark tunnel. That way, one eye doesn't have day-blindness and I can see the first scene. I also close my eyes for the photo for the same reason.
True story.
Sounds like a good method. I just wonder if someone might think you're winking at them.
No definite but looking unlikely at the mo.
Around 2 years give or take

Not to speak for everyone, but I think it's concern about restraint and respect for the original. There's no doubt a refresh would be good, especially for the ride system itself. But, it's unclear about how current management would direct this - causing the concern.
It's sort of like that historic painting that was turned into basically a monkey during restoration.

I think even if it's projection based I can be excited. I'm a big fan of projections as enhancements, when they are not the focus of the entire ride, ala the Disneyland dark ride refurbishments.
Because we don’t automatically trust them anymore?

Curious what will happen to fast passes that are booked already post closing date. I have a fastpass set for this already on 4/11. Is there any precedent for this. Will it turn to a muliple experience pass?

if a particular individual is in charge of it, (the one who posted it on the blog),,,then Im even more concerned.
but I don't know how much involvement to it he has.

Closing date is May 26, your 4/11 FP is good.
Edit: unless you mean November 4, in which case you will likely receive a new FP booking, for an attraction at Disney’s discretion.

Last I checked November is well outside the 90 days for a fast pass...
Good point. Lack of good sleep last night...

No worries. I thought the same thing until I had a coffee. Crazy Brits all up in this place...with their opposite dates, driving on the wrong side of the road and football that uses both a ball and feet.
