SSE Paperboy runs off with musicians!

[Monty]

Actually looks like there are two Space Mountains in there...

 

[PaisleyMF]

Cropped the photo, then didn't resize it as much, here is *horizons voice* The Cityscape.

It has a space mountain! Wonder what we'd find if i had bothered to take photos of the other 2 panels.

Isn't this Todayland from meet the Robinson's?

 

[krankenstein]

One question, you didn't happen to find out if the new Hollywood Studios arch sign is lit did you?

Thanks for the update Merf!

 

[cooleo]

Thanks for the update Merf. Sure hope the paperboys returns.

 

[marni1971]

Merf; as always, thanks for the updates. I was going to ask for a bigger `scape photo - no need now! You`ll have to get pics of the other 2 pannels; I can see 2 SMs as mentioned, a take on the GE-era COP spire, a nice WoL-shaped dome, and what I`m going to think as the COP from `64 (just left of centre) and of course SSE. Also of note are the spire shapes - not only are they from the original EPCOT 1977 plans, they also remind me of the entrance plaza sculpture, and the EPCOT 1978 spires that each pavilion would have had.

Neat

Plus, further proof SSE is indeed not complete

I wonder how much more time Pizza Planet has left? If they are taking down some of the Toy Story characters I can't imagine that it is going to be around that much longer.

Somehow, I think I see in there something that would make a really awesome updated main entrance fountain sculpture... :lookaroun

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

So there is hope for a "Glitter City" to return...I'll be optimistic.I noticed the whole EPCOT Center reference too,marni!That really looks good!I wonder if they did that with that intention?


Great news and photos as usual!

I made a mock up, because I had to...

 

[TheDisneyMagic]

Nice mock up, wouldn't it be great to have a new fountain just like that one.

 

[DisneyPirate85]

THANKS Merf Great shots...:wave:

:sohappy:

Awesome job Nimmy! Love it!

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Very nice,Nim.

That would be MUCH better than the pink stones/bricks.

Just to let everyone know I was on SE on Sunday and all of the AA's were there so there removel is very new.

I guess that confirms that everything Pixar will be relegated to the Pixar Place area. Hopefully Pizza Planet is changed to something Muppets related.

This is a good thing, and a sign of a commitment to progress at DHS. Hopefully they'll keep moving towards the idea of different areas of the park being themed to certain studios.

Here's to Lucasfilm Studios and Muppet Studios! :sohappy:


Also, I would so buy a copy of that postshow mural if they sold it at Art of Disney or Mousegear in case anyone from Disney is reading this!

 

[Magicot]

Down with Pizza Planet!:fork:

Down with Al's Toy Barn!:fork:


The Muppets must prevail!

I have a feeling they will! Time to dust off the Great Muppet Movie Ride concept and the Muppet Pizza Place

 

[WeLComeHomE OKW]

Perhaps they are to be replaced by leftover TSM plastic barrel monkeys :shrug:

hahahhahaa

They probably do have a lot left lyin around. Just think how big that barrel would have to be!!

Also, does anyone else have the feeling that at the end of this year they will be making some HUGE announcements about Disney World's 40 anniversary.

I don't think we will be seeing any major announcements until then. But, I have a very good feeling that those announcements will BE HUGE. Jedi, Lee...y'all want to comment? Maybe that is part of the reason they expanded the year(s) of a million dreams, just so they could kick us in the face with huge annoucnements come october-ish.

just a thought.

Well, that's definitely a logical conclusion because right now, nothing new is happening...nothing!

If they're going to do it like HCoE in other words, at least one new attraction for each park here are my ideas:

1) Magic Kingdom: A new SpaceMountain,
2) EPCOT: Imagination Pavillion overhaul, new Soarin' film.
3) Hollywood Studios: I would definitely expect significant annoucements for DHS. Kind of like DCA's overhaul, but perhaps not that extreme. Definitely Star Tours 2.0.
4) Animal Kingdom: I have no idea what they have planned. I would like for Lucky to return full time to Dinoland.

I just hope that Night Kingdom is NOT announced...I want money being invested into current parks.
