The ball in tomorrowland is gone

[wizards8507]

I don't think it's a good choice at all! The ball was neat and certainly "fit" Tomorrowland. I actually walked by this last week and gave it a little push but it did nothing. Later that day we saw people spinning it... I guess I didn't give it a hard enough push (dang, little girlie arms)!

I wish I had taken a picture now!

Heh, yeah once it starts spinning it'll go for a long time. We have one on campus here at Notre Dame (indoors).

thanks for the info!

I don't like or dislike the ball (completely apathetic towards it), but I'd have to guess this is another example of Disney ditching non-essential water effects because they are too cheap to do the routine maintenance.

For some reason they are doing lots and lots of little refurb jobs here and there.
We were there last week and the week before.

The first week everything was normal (other than the castle and main street scrims) and in the second there things being painted, fixed, built and a lot more construction walls up with quotes from Walt on.

Anyway.... my point is I reckon it'll be back.

Isn't it equally likely that this is some of that routine maintenance? :shrug:

If it isn't being replaced by an E-ticket, it's total epic fail.

NO! No no no no no no no no no no.



That seriously was my favorite "between the turnstiles" thing in the Magic Kingdom, other than maybe the leaky tikis.

How so?

This is the same poster who once had these two posts:

I think that Disney make a bad idea to bring Brazil to epcot!

Yeah me too! I think that Brazil Pavilion will be nice for Epcot World Showcase!

In the same thread.

Good choice to take the ball away!

Hey look, a useless post.

No.

Until we hear otherwise, perhaps.....

Hope it comes back. It was one of my favorite things in the parks.

It has been said in other threads that they may be spit shinning things in prep for the 40th in October.

I personally doubt it since they seem to be ignoring most milestones lately. Might also be making it look good as possible for the openning of the fantasyland expansion.

The space where that stone ball was could really use a Balzac cart. There's not enough of those.

Since it sits on water, I could just imagine a group of very strong people pushing it off and rolling it manically through the park. I'm sure Disney had the same thought and decided to axe it.

It was walled off on the 9th when I was there. It could be just routine maintenance. I would think if it was just removal it would be done and re-cemented by now.
