Spaceship Earth reopening reports

Really? Then what are those triangles on the side doing? Those don't look lit to me.

They are visible in person, and are lit. That whole area is very very difficult to photograph. You can only really do it via a long exposure. The photographer was lucky in that there was an Estop allowing the shot. The long exposure though made things look brighter than they are. The triangles are VERY subtle. A lot of people will not even notice them.

i like the triangles. i would like to know how far they go down from 180/top. is that were they start... or is that the matrix tunnel?

secondly, i like the no participation animation loop. it reminds me of a 21century etch-i-sketch.

Kind of reminds me of some of the animation in the original UoE finale. :lookaroun

Ahhhhh ok.

It should be noted that the ORIGINAL ending had triangles and screens too.
:lol:

Thanks for all the pictures and videos! I liked every change I saw in the pictures. The new animation looks great. I'm glad they did a few things over that short closure. I like the triangular pannels, still not enough, but better than nothing at all. Overall, 90% of the ride looks great, 10% is still a little bit of a disappointment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Disney won't ignore that 10%.

That said, I'm with the group that hopes they still plan on doing more. For the average guest or a new guest, they probably won't care, but knowing how much space is still getting wasted is going to drive me crazy. Specifically where the networking area and fiberoptic city used to be.

As for the picture being taken at the beginning goes: I will not take of my glasses to get my picture taken, I want to see the ride. If that was your idea, you should have thought that out better. :fork: That too, is going to drive me crazy.

They begin roughly around where the old miniture scenes were, and then continue along where the old fibre lights were.

ohhh, so that structure is completely new... the one that resembles SSE texture. thanks. i couldnt get a grasp on what part this was.

On the location selector screen, I find it funny that of the cities you're "allowed" to be from, you can't be from the state capital, Tallahassee. But you can be from Pensacola. Ok...

The location selector screen in the ascent, is this portion before your picture is taken? Or is it after once you enter the dark star fields and Judy Dench begins? Im hoping its before, as I love that dark beginning portion after the photo take.

 

[DisneyDellsDude]

I am impressed also with the new animation, triangles, and the globe looks really cool now in the post show.

Glad they fixed some stuff!!

It's before the narration begins.

Has anyone noticed that there is a cameo in the animation. You can see the original 1964-1965 World's Fair Carousel of Progress Pavillion down in the middle of the screen.

Again, as I've said in another thread, I think this is a fantatic refurb. I miss the old music, but I ALWAYS miss the old music. No matter how bad or good the old stuff was, it holds all of the memories with it, so.

I rode it when the decent was just OK in January, and I can't wait to see the new stuff in person.

Thanks so much for posting the vids and pics!

Where is that at during the descent? Is it after the blue light thingys?

 

[the-reason14]

I vow to ignore my touchscreen the next time I ride...I am going to bring a boom box and blast the previous descent score, an absolute ingredient to the atmosphere of this iconic attraction. I could forgive the lifeless nature of the current status of the descent if they would have just left the score!:dazzle:

Lol, that actually seems like a pretty decent idea. I have the previous narration/score already uploaded on my archos. After a few trips on the new SSE this april(next trip YEA.:sohappy Ill probably do the same thing. Blast the old narration and score in my ear and just reminence(sp) on the 1994 era of SSE.

While Tallahassee is the state capital, its actually a relatively small city.

I'm not understanding how/why/what angle those two panels in the photograph are appearing unlit.

Why are they not showing up? Even after all kinds of photoshopping? Are they burnt out or not on?

Do the panels turn on and off?

 

[DisneyAnole]

While Tallahassee is the state capital, its actually a relatively small city.

And yet it has a significantly larger population than Pensacola and West Palm Beach, two of the other choices on the Florida map.

Just sayin'. What's the point of the location selector anyway?
