Im waiting to hear what IP they are going to cram in there, sorry guys I just dont trust them anymore. But fingers crossed they don't.

My vote is The Black Hole. Can you imagine a Maximilian AA? That would be awesome.

Knock on every piece of wood in a lumber store - but of all the attractions in WDW I think SE may be slightly protected, since it’s a park icon. They don’t assign IP other than Mickey to other major icons - in a way it diminishes the power of the icon if it’s assigned to something. (I’m not counting Cindy).

Don't mean to knock over your wood, but SE is the only icon that doesn't have IP within it.

After giving this a little more thought, as exciting as the prospect of a full refurb is... two years or more??? C'mon.

The entirety of EPCOT Center took only three years to build from start to finish. Spaceship Earth, in its original construction, took only slightly more than two years (26 months) to build. And they are taking somewhere between 2-3 years to refurb it?

I know Disney has slowed construction projects to an absolutely glacial pace in the last decade or so, but that's absolutely ridiculous.

Lots of red tape now-a-days, projects take 3-4 times longer than they used to. Just ask Bob Gurr, he has stated that back in the day they were just told to do it, and it got done.

It's only the outward appearance that's the park icon. They could gut the interior and replace it with "A Journey Through Wakanda" and nobody would care, because it's still "the ride inside the big golf ball."
