Ohhhhh "Empress Room" I know what you mean! I would prefer that after we see the family of three in their living room watching all thier TV;s in the 1960s [the last original scene], I would like to see once again a gradual change in progress from the 60s to the dawn of the 21st century and beyond.
Such as...in the two first versions of the ride with Vic Perrin and Walter Cronkite we saw a man working on his micro prossecor in the 1970s then a woman on her macontosh with floppy disks in the 1980s, then the network communications centerof the 1990s. I think they should restore that.
When we pass through the transparent globe, making out way to the top of SSE. On our left we should pass a realistic scene of the two kids in their bedrooms in 2000, and the dawn of the 21st, then further up on our right we see a family in their entertainment room with duturistic gadgets to come.
At the top we see an advanced star field with the astronauts working on the satelite dish with Earth in the distance.
I think if they added and changed SSE to put this back in, it would be great, let alone giving us new ride vehicles, sound, and lighting, with maintence to the sets and AA's.
On the decent down backwards I think the first part should be "tomorrow's child" with a newer version of the song, with scenes of children, then we switch over to the current musical score to see a more detailed and complex city of the future, and then SSE the model, floating through space, then the post show should be a brand new version of the Earth Station.
I also agree that there should only be one saftey speil somewheres at the start of the ride, none when we turn backwards since they already told us at the begining of the ride, and NO MORE TV'S, with a brand new star tunnerl on the way up to the begining of communication and egypt scene. :sohappy:
