Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

[Dragonman]

Yes it’s been confirmed various times before in this thread that both the woman in the window and the astronaut on the satellite had audio.

The animatronics from the bedroom and paperless office in the ‘86 version came from the original Gutenberg and Network Operations scenes.

I’m still unsure of where the lady from the right hand track side of the network ops scene ended up in the ‘86 version. There’s very little documentation of her or what the screens above her displayed. Maybe @marni1971 knows more about her.

She was still there post 86. I was lucky to get a ride stop in 1990 in the area and got a shot of her.

Is this the same shot that you featured in your 82/86 edit?

Almost; this should start at my shot during the ride stop (I also got the preceding PC boy close up during the stop)

I’m glad you at least got footage of her since most people didn’t. If any flash pictures of her or the other undocumented original scenes around that area exist, they haven’t surfaced yet.

sadly not of that area.

Do you think it would help if we made a master list of all the scenes/effects that we’re missing footage/images of or are there too few? I think it mostly revolves around that network ops area as we do have decent footage of the space station scene and the Gutenberg typeset boy.

I think a high quality Perrin recording would do it. In lieu of one I’d say

Ascent vortex smoke effects
Egyptian workman high quality
harbour diorama high quality with boat
Printing Seated boy
Right hand comms centre high quality

I absolutely love that this thread is essentially the Spaceship Earth Historical Society. Bless each of you for the work that you do to preserve this knowledge.

As I ride SSE or JIIWF, I ponder why they butcher such perfection. I understand change, but dang.

This and harbour diorama with the fog effect.
(throw in fog effect eilong JII track..) for bonus measure

I thought the fog came from the merchants boats Opposite?

 

[Thelazer]

^ yes that's what I mean..

I did a comparison regarding some theories and it turns out window girl does indeed most likely have the same face as the Horizons undersea teacher and NOT Keiko as previously thought:

There's a whole lot of uncanny valley going on in this picture

So in "The Imagineering Story" there are these certain guys:

Nothing too new but a good resolution image of it.

There is so much in restored video that @marni1971 will love.

Those are amazing! Looks like they were taken prior to installation due to the workshop environment and unpainted helmet. I’m sure the same type of photos exist for window girl as well.

@Dragonman... is this your control lady? From above?

It's actually video of them touching up/assembling them. The Imagineering Story has so much good stuff.

No sorry, that would be the network operations lady who was moved in ‘86 to the paperless office so we have relatively good images and footage of her. The one I’m referring to is pretty much the star of this thread: the mission control woman aka “window girl” from the space station scene which you can see in my collage a few posts above. They were two separate animatronics.

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

just so we’re all on the same page:

1.) Window Girl

2.) Seated network operations lady. She was moved to a brand new created scene (the paperless office) in 1986, right next door to the network operations scene.

3.)Standing network operations lady. She stood at a desk staring at three large monitors. This was on the right Hand side of the track.

today, this is the area where foxy brown is positioned in the computer room
