We're now home after a week on the Fantasy and two weeks in Orlando. I can stop posting everything from my iPhone now

The fact that I've rode stitch about 6 times in my life and have never seen the lasers.

I get the feeling we might get the total renovation that Space needs/deserves, but it will probably come ~2020 so it is done for the 50th, but comes after the WIR attraction opens (something new in TL) and after Star Wars is open (something big elsewhere in WDW to draw crowds).

If it can last that long. Disneyland's went down very suddenly for its track replacement.

We are about to leave ourselves. The parks actually look really, really good. Best I've seen in years. DHS has some issues but other than that, it was a great time. I noticed tomorrowland looking better than it has in a while.

I guess this is as good a thread as any to post this in, but I had this thought the other day- Could it be possible that Buzz SRS might not be that much longer for this world? I think it might just feel weird with TSL over in DHS. Plus, I have to imagine the theming in the queue/exterior of the Alien/Buzz spinner ride would just be way too similar. Some sort of retheme to BH6 or something by the 50th wouldn't surprise me.

Is that the new sign for CoP? That looks fantastic! Going to be there later today, excited to check out how this land is looking

I'm here too. Can't wait to see it.

The general consensus from our respected insiders is that the track is literally in shambles, interprate that however you please.

Here what the WDW SM would have gotten if WDW didn't cheap out.

And the Disneyland Buzz is superior to the WDW version.

Be sure to see it at night.

you can thank Phil Holmes for being the one that cheaped out

The ride's still really popular though, certainly the most popular ride besides SM in Tomorrowland. I can't say I'd be surprised if it eventually got removed, but I feel like it'd be pretty low on the to-do list.
Personally I'd love it if they did a significant refurb to make it more in line with Land's version, though.

I'd rather a Hero's Duty ride to go with their Sugar Rush in Stitch plans.

And the Disneyland Buzz is superior to the WDW version.

It just has better gun mounts. The "We will return Zurg to the store, he's been a bad toy" ending automatically disqualifies that ride for superiority status

Wait, that thing was supposed to have audio?!

Learned something new there...

Same here. I always thought it was just decoration.

Yes! Here is a recording of the audio if you're interested!

So @marni1971 workin' on a SGE Tribute? Its everyones happy place in the magic kingdom! Its not torture!

 

[Bacon]

Once stitch leaves I'm sure the people mover will be refurbished even if its only over night just to change out the audio so it doesn't go "I DONT THINK SO HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA"

 

[Brian Swan]

A question for the engineer and construction folks. Would it be physically possible to completely demo the current SM track and support structure and construct an entirely new coaster without having to do major demo/rebuild work on the building itself? If all of the track (only) was replaced, is the support structure capable of handling the stresses of running the ride at its original 1975 speeds?

Funnily enough, I am. Isolated it's a pretty good attraction. And part of the parks history. Just without the history and the politics.

I had some nice help from the attractions CMs to obtain lots of great footage of the whole attraction.

The new SM lighting looks amazing and more on par with others around the world. The fact that they spiffed up a doomed attraction like SGE says only good things about the new management.

If only you stayed a bit longer as I'm here today.

It looks great and Tomorrowland looks cleaner overall. Even the underside of the PeopleMover tracks

Hopefully the managers of other lands take notice and eventually other parks.

It also has better targets that acknowledge when you hit them and a far better final battle sequence. Buzz is one of my favourite rides in WDW, riding Land's for the first time felt like a revelation. Totally up for your Heroes Duty suggestion though having two Ralph rides seems a little much for a independent land.

Someone else brought it up and I'm genuinely curious now how they'll handle the Stitch narration on the Peoplemover. Will it stay until the ride is closed? Only sound off when it's seasonally open?
