The company is taking a more 'announce it closer to completion' angle to anything beyond whats already in the the public domain at this point (Avatar, etc).. similar to the approach universal has taken with Potter, Transformers, and now Kong..
This is to contrast the construction and opening of New Fantasyland... Viewed by most higher ups and peaking in popularity and interest (hype) 12 months before opening.

Gone but not forgotten....
If I may, I'm currently editing a colossal project about the history of the tour from 1989 to last year. It's looking like three one hour parts from the design and layout, to the complete multi angle 1989-90 version, how and when it changed over the years, to a multi angle HD edit from the last days of operation.

You are a God among men Martin! I appreciate all your hard work.
I know you are not a fan of many recent projects but what is your fav year 2000 up attraction that one day may deserve a Martin vid?
I'm blushing!
I don't know.... Maybe the story of New Fantasyland. Maybe LMA when it closes.

Thank you, that would be so wonderful a wonderful trip down memory lane. I miss that tour a lot.
I love Raiders, but the ensamble cast in Last Crusade makes it really enjoyable.

Sean Connery alone going against type as the bumbling addled professor makes that movie a gem.
"They're trying to kill us!"
"I KNOW, dad!"
"Well, it's a new experience for me."
"Happens to me all the time."
And...
"You call THIS archaeology?"

Just happened to see this on twitter today. Looks like nothing has changed. I didn't expect anything to change but it's interesting the TVs are still there.

Pretty much sums up the modern WDW (unless it's a shop or DVC). Meanwhile up the road, "build, build, BUILD!!!!!!!!"

I liked this part from the last Comcast earnings conference call transcript;
"
In Parks, the new attraction pipeline is robust, especially in Hollywood with Fast & Furious and Harry Potter. We are continuing our work on a very
large theme park in China. So altogether, this is an exciting time at Comcast and we are looking forward to another great year."
It truly is the best time to be a theme park fan!

I see Part 1 is there Martin...will watch that tonight!
Btw, I recently watched your 'American Adventure' video, and it was one of my favorites of all!

Great stuff, a must-view for those of us who never got the chance to go on the original tour, and a nice trip down memory lane for those of us who did.

Why did they shut down this attraction if they are just letting it sit there doing nothing? I'm sad enough that it had to close to make way for something, but it looks like they closed it super early just to let it rot for a few months before work even begins.

Same reason as to why they all of a sudden closed all of the parade based entertainment at DHS with less than a month's notice only for all of the backstage parade infrastructure to still be there along with the floats just chilling backstage....almost two years later.
