It's worth also mentioning to keep an eye on show quality in Buzz as we move towards the end of the year. Its issues are yet to be addressed.

Truth. Queue is full of peeling paint, a sad amount of the guns/scores in vehicles don't work, and in my car earlier the door to close it didn't lock, we could push it open like 4 inches.

Hi gang. The other day I suggested contacting George Kalogridis- WDW President with your positive comments or concerns.

I just checked my phones voice mail and there was a long-winded message from his assistant assuring me that he has read my email and would like to get in contact.

I've heard that he does take the time to do these things but I didn't expect it within 48 hours.

I would have at it people.

The Laugh Floor building getting a pristine new paint job would REALLY help the land. Hope that comes eventually.

Detachable guns?

You want to make it even easier??

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

Again hopefully they clean the hell out of Buzz. The mold is horrific. That takes precedence above other plussing. It resembles my old home up north after it got flooded...

that too, but also the red laser spinning effect in the dark tunnel that has been turned off for years along with the fog.

I would say so but it's hard to judge since it's been so long without it.

The new rock colors look good too.

Are these "meteors" new?

Pretty sure they are new. They were not there when I was last Saturday. That was all dirt.

Detachable guns?

Only things that were designed, remember...

Didn't Zurg turn good near the end of Toy Story 2 after he was looking for his "real son"?

The Buzz rides are very inconsistent about whether it's the world of Star Command or just a bunch of toys and frankly, they should commit to the former rather then this weird in-between that doesn't even use the characters from the cartoon (outside giftshop decorations at World that have been dialed back).

Is this the result of management reorganization that took place earlier this year?

If this is the result, I'm super happy they made the change! All this stuff is such low hanging fruit. A couple hundred grand can go such a long way when the company is spending billions on flashy editions.

This also makes me more confident that future new areas will be better maintained.

What's the current condition of space mountain?

Hard to tell since they still insist on running it in the dark. I'm not sure that any dust, dirt, debris, light bulbs out or non-working AA's would be visible. They really should turn those lights on... bad show!

It's that one section of missing track the worries me.

Will be at MK this weekend. I will keep an eye out for any changes, whether it be a menu description, or new paint. @marni1971 Anything particular to look for?

Ask him about the Tomorrowland Speedway--can they change the engines to electric? The gasoline odor is horrendous!

I would ask if they are ever planning to update or remove it completely.

Stop it.

It has good animatronics, a great score, and even a cool made up language that can be deciphered. Yet somehow it's an awful piece of crap. There is no defense for it.

Stitch to me has two problems. It is a toon - keep toons out of TL. And it is an attraction designed to be scary....with the scares removed.

Other than that, I don't even consider SGE the worst thing in TL, never mind in WDW.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

It's all in the details...

The new sign looks great.

However, a new problem arose. The opening theater still shows the old gear sign. A sign ugly as sin, but at least there was design consistency with the gear outside, a consistency now lost.

Completely agree! It's a very cool c-ticket attraction with a great preshow. It like you said though is just not scary and that's what the ride could use, or something else making your senses sense more.

I suspect the opening theater gear sign will get replaced soon or during the next referb. Just be patient.

Or at least give SM a major overhaul by actually adding on-board soundtrack like Disneyland's did.

An overhaul would be new track....it is so awful i would be insulted if they do anything less......its welded on a regular basis. Do you enjoy riding that? Lol
