Spaceship Earth wheel spinning

The paperboy did have a face. But silly guests complained about their precious kids getting scared. So they turned paperboy around and removed all of the other scary elements from SSE as well. It is now a lame ride about communications.

In a rush to type it out on my phone, I didn't mention that I had seen the character turned around in the past! It still makes for a nice scary story haha

My definition would only call it an incline if they add/plus something. Simply maintaining what they used to have, keeping up with the stuff that made them famous, would be neither an incline nor a decline. Level.

Level at 0 degrees

Great to hear.
Hopefully getting the descent fixed is next..but that's another discussion, and one that will probably not end for a looooong time

I cannot see any changes coming to the descent unless they remove the display screen (which I personally dislike). If the show scenes were there like the previous version then guests would not pay attention to the cartoony Q&A happening on the display screens. Most kids do seem to really like the interaction. I guess I am to old to appreciate it.

A lightbulb was changed out on Main Street.

Not really, it just started working again. Go figure?

TDO... "We saved 30 cents on that light bulb so raise the price tickets and bottled water".

Seriously, this is gold.

.....my wife mentioned that in the family living room scene with the moon landing & Cronkite on TV ...that there used to be records (LP's) standing up ...with a Beatles Album showing up front ...and now it's gone.

It's now the Swiss Family Robinson soundtrack LP visible on top of the stack.

I bet they were worried someone would jump out and try to take it being the Beatles thinking it was collectible.

If you need an idea for a column, this is one of many instances where Disney is becoming ever more self-referential, almost claustrophobically so.


People in the sixties used to listen to the Beatles, not to the SFR soundtrack. SSE becomes less authentic, a lesser representation of the sixties. Therefore less Disney to me, instead of more, when Disney is understood as quality and as being several levels of sophistication above crude amusement park entertainment elsewhere.

This has driven me crazy for a long time, it is such a simple projection effect that you would think it would have been fixed ages ago. Hell, I will fix it for them for free afterhours.

i noticed this....missed it.

I thought you were kidding.
Seriously.

Extra, extra buy my newspaper or I'll curse you read all about it or you'll see yourself in the obituaries

Steam was on today, and the recently red car in the cool wash is missing.

the Beatles album went missing sometime during the refurb and it was from 1982 so it wasn't authentic to the scene. Among the collection of records up there is Jimi Hendrix, Pinocchio, and Bambi.

OK, I'm confused here. One of the reasons given for turning the newsboy around was so that people would quit grabbing for him. Um, am I the only human being that wasn't born with Stretch Armstrong arms?

Yeah, it was totally authentic to have the family from the 1960s listening to a Beatles Greatest Hits collection that wasn't released until the 1980s. Kudos to them for finally fixing it.
