Toy Story, Innoventions, T-rex, and cones!

[mousermerf]

Another day, another trek to the parks for photos..

First stop, Epcot! Where we find they've put up a little bit more of the new Innoventons sign...

After circling the park, not much else has changed. They're definately working on new pavement for many of the walkways, but otherwise all is pretty much the same. In the parking lot, they've changed out the orange cones for blue... can't say i can come up with a good reason why..

And then we went to MGM, which again: everyone who enjoys these updates owes me for going in there. It's sooooo hot humid and horrible. I saw One Man's Dream.

And a wall..

Cuz I wuz here:

Which is in front of this building..

Which has some nice brickwork..

And these people are working on it..

I dun herd it gonna be a new ride. Not shur if'n i'll understand though. Mr. Al Lutz says us Dizzy World-folks dunt gets 'em.

Then I actually walked across MGM - you seriously owe me - to get this photo of the new Jedi Training Stage, now with several showing daily.

And finally, stopped at the Marketplace to get a few snaps of the new T-Rex restaurant under construction.

Right where they said it'd be, next to Mc D's, near Fultons.

There's really not much going on in the parks right now. Crowds are mild but a little bustling, and the humidity is killer.

Enjoy!

It looks like there should be a Mrs Fields on one side of it... and a Hot Topic on the other side of it.... along with a Foot Locker across the way from it. :lookaroun


Eh... but its growin on me... :shrug:

Great update, Merf! I'm digging the blue cones. :lol:

Thanks for the update, that Inoventions sign is gradually growing on me as it nears completion, when I first saw it I thought it was ghastly.

I must say that this building kinda looks like it would fit into old school Tomorrowland....maybe?? haha

Thanks for the update and the snazzy pics with the new camera.

I like the brickwork on the front of TSM. The facade seems to be looking a little to large for that area. It is amazing how much bigger it is looking once all the brick was added.

Thanks again for the updates! And I don't feel like you're on hiatus; you're going more frequently than I am! I was just confused because it doesn't look like there will be enough room to house a restaurant of usual Landry's scale...is the building going to be tall?

I must say that I really like the new innoventions signs, it brings out the building. Maybe they'll paint the light blue posts the green/blue.

Yeah, I wonder why the building is sooo large? And when I mean large, I guess I mean tall.

TSM looks like it's gonna be modled after Al's Toy Barn.Anyone else get that?

Those Innoventions signs look wierd.Clashes with the tan/peach color.

I thought the exact same thing!!

Not neccessarily the barn like at MGM where the character's meet but something...it looks familiar.

Here's the pictures I took when I was there on September 29th 2007. I held nephew over my shoulders and had him snap the pics!!! My husband thought I was such a dork!!

 

[JEAV]

Hey Merf, thanks again for your updates!! I just love when you post your insights! I love your persperctives on everything!

 

[sknydave]

TSM is looking good... It better be awesome or I'll have to unleash the pimp slap

 

[EpcotServo]

I trekked across all 3 of the other parks just to get updates yesterday and I'm not complain'.....If you can't stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen.

:lol:

Oooooo

 

[Piebald]

Yes, the street is going to be called Pixar Place.

I start doing T&A at Toy Story Mania in a few weeks so it should be interesting.

 

[WDWFigment]

So...they both have bricks? :shrug:

I think the comparison is a bit of a stretch if that's the extent of the similarities.

when I first saw it I thought it was ghastly.

It sort of reminds me of the "new" Muppets logo
