Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

Does anyone have a video or diagram showing how the fiber optic city diorama in the decent was done?

This took a lot longer to find. Credit to @marni1971. Not a diagram or video but it gives you an
idea of the layout.

It was. A mixture of fibre optic and laser. Laser projected onto the city model, and fibre optics with laser illumination. Add in some standard and UV lighting, electro luminescent plastics and liquid neon and it was quite impressive. Just a shame they butchered 180 top for the start of it.

Is that a Disney beverage cup on the right hand side of the picture? I guess someone was drinking on the job

It was creative ingenuity and art direction at its best! I don't think they would know how to do that today if they were asked to.... Like I said in another thread the parks are regressing instead of progressing, all thanks to the precious app and lightning lane which is destroying show quality and creativity, they don't care. They just want everyone buying into it, care and show quality are out the window. Not everything of course, but they could sure spend how many millions to put all the fancy lights outside while the show inside deteriorates? Almost two decades of that unfinished mess in there. Its as if they are so proud of it.
