News Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[Jwhee]

What a joke. Literal joke. Adding Disney character to SSE. Stupid Chapek couldn't even tell us what the original ride was about. "Big moments in history? The hell?

"Storytelling" a fning joke. I can't watch this anymore, i think this may have finally pushed me to give up the pass.

Im going to wait for Martin or someone to maybe step in here with more detail if possible? Im just confused right now, as the presentation said a lot of the favorite scenes would remain just upgraded for the better..? it was all hard to follow in the stream

I’m pretty terrified about what this is going to be.

They couldn’t even resist putting IP in SSE...

So what exactly is Dreamer’s Point? The Parks Blog says you’ll exit SSE to Dreamer’s Point. Is that the pink walkway or the name of the Festival Egg itself?

It’s the area behind SSE, near the exit. It’s where the Walt statue is going.

They would’ve said Moana if it was Moana. It could easily just be a Polynesian scene meant to evoke it but it’s not exactly it.

IP has been in Spaceship Earth since the 80's - ever seen the 20K clip?

So , from what little was said publically during the D23 Expo Parks panel....

Spaceship Earth seems to be changing it's theme from 'communication' to 'humanity's story'.

And 'pixie dust' is going to lead us through the 'story'.

And the outside of SSE is going to have sparkling 'bling' lighting effects.

"More Disney, More Timeless, More....whatever..."

Uh huh.....

How long after D23 do they usually announce the closure dates? Like when did they announce Great Movie Ride’s closure?

Why am i getting deja vu from 2007.

 

[DocMcHulk]

I'll withhold judgement for now. But, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I thought if I heard him use that stupid line one more time.....so sick of it....this is Disney now though, bland generic and more timeless chapek.

I believe @marni1971 said he would give us an update on this in the D23 thread so hopefully we get that soon.

Earth Station looks to be staying, I think there was a pic of it with a mural on it. Was hoping this visual intrusion could be scaled down in some way.

Imagine where the back of the tip board is now. That area will be higher than where the pin station and fountain currently are. You’ll have to walk left or right and downhill to get to Showcase.

It’s an outdoor balcony in essence.

 

[MattFrees71]

While there is much I don't like about the current 2007 version of Spaceship Earth- it roughly still follows the formula of non-IP, straight to the point, original Future World attractions. I will appreciate and soak it in while we still have it.

Yes, and maybe that’s all it is and the people on the boat aren’t from the movie at all. They would’ve highlighted that if that was the case.

I wouldn’t have a problem with that.
