yes.. fastpass and attractions. The way it was before, and the way it should always have been.

Anyway, back to peeking in there... physically, it looks like everything is there, but if you look in the back, a lot of things are missing. As for time there, I was there today, and nothing is back

I could have sworn I heard the queue was used for Meet and Greet...

Waaaa! I loved the Timekeeper. It had a great film and excellent music score.

it was.. for about 2 days, but it was too dark there for any good pictures to come out, even with flash

That sucks balls.

I have a feeling that something is going to happen to that area soon. If they aren't using it for the seasonal periods then they probably have an idea. Also, based on MKTiggerman's info. it seems that they are taking apart the attraction. I would expect to hear something about this in the near future.

You could always go to the Timekeeper version in Disneyland Paris. (I think it still open)

Yeah, but it's over the pond and dosn't have Robin Williams and his improv!

 

[General Grizz]

They are closing it in Paris, I heard.

Well, I 've never really been to TK before, I had a thing against CV 360s since I didn't speak English.

But Robin Williams is really cool, so I guess now I'd have liked to go at least once...

I was lucky enough to have seen this a few times before it started its open-and-closed cycle of the last couple of years, so I remember it well. I'll miss Nine-Eye and the way she interacted with Robin Williams the most.

My hope is that this is just another one of those scary rumors that doesn't turn into anything true. We've all heard the stories in the past about Timekeeper closing, haven't we?

Boo! Hiss!

Timekeeper closing? Boooo! Hisssss!

Because there has been talk of Timekeeper closing for quite some time now, I made sure to get enough video footage and still photos to satisfy my addiction to Timekeeper for years to come. If there is a "tribute" of some sort, I'd be more than happy to contribute. Heck, I have enough material to make my own tribute.

<--- i.e. Custom made avatar, still image taken from personal digital video footage.

Speaking of tributes, Disney should release Tribute DVD's for retired attractions. For example, if they're closing Timekeeper, they need to release the film on DVD. Multiple angle view could switch between the 9 screens. There should also be footage of the AA's (obviously), and even some generic audience reactions. There could also be out-takes, production films, and tons of other "behind the scenes" material.

Some might think that Disney is too "protective of their secrets," but anyone who has the Travel Channel is probably familiar with the tons of behind the scenes footage made available for public programing, including shots of the production stages of various attractions, maintenence areas, etc.

I would love to own a DVD on Horizons and other attractions from yesteryear. With the low cost of video production, I'm sure Disney is documenting the evolution of their attractions even more today than they have before. I'll be first in line to pick up my Tower Of Terror DVD when the attraction retires 8 years from now.

I would deffiently buy a official DVD of old rides (even unofficial if its good quality), by the way did anyone get that Horizons videotape that someone was selling about 1 year ago, it had alot of footage, and I never got it. Any info anyone?

I agree! I'd buy a DVD of the old and even current rides. I really think that Disney could turn a good profit on this. If you use old rides, what secrets are there to steal.

 

[cymbaldiva]

I dunno...

I don't know if it's a good idea or not...

If there was a DVD of all the kewl old school rides, I know for a fact that all I would ever do is hang around the house and watch it! :lol:

Seriously though, a DVD would be wicked kewl...

Great idea!!

I totally agree!!! :sohappy:
