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

[BRER STITCH]

Do you think they using the BLUE traffic cones simply to differentiate between the parking lot traffic patterns and other "non-parking related" construction areas, which will still use the old ORANGE ones??

:shrug:

Another great update thanks Merf.

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.

T&A??? Should I ask?

I didn't know they did T&A at Disney...but then again they do have MILF:shrug:

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!!

My husband held my son last October (shortly after Millionare closed) above the wall to take pictures of the same area (with the intent of me posting the pictures on this site), WELL, my son DROPPED the camera as my husband was lowering him and needless to say, I wasn't very happy (and the picture was quite lame, so not even a decent picture to post here!) After some microsurgery, the camera works (it makes lots of noise when it's turned on, we call it the "crunchy camera" now!) So, your idea wasn't lame and you aren't a dork. Your photography of the area was far more successful than my attempt!

Also, where exactly, is the Jedi Training Academy stage? It looks as though it is where the AT-AT stands in front of Star Tours. Tell me they didn't remove it to install a stage!!!! Please clarify for me! :wave:

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...

Signage isn't bad. It does look a little more whimsical than I would have chosen for EPCOT/Future World, but it's not too bad.


Thanks for the update and pix!

wouldnt it be harder to see the blue cones at night?

HAHA, I was thinking the same thing.

The AT-AT is still there. It's to the right.:wave:

Looking at the blue cones, they appear to be in use at the Handicap parking spots and there are orange cones at the end of the row where non-Handicap vehicles would be. Perhaps they have blue cones specifically for the Handicap parking?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

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

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

I remeber reading that TSM is meant to look like the Florida division of Pixar animantion studios to make it different from DCA's version (a victorian seaside hotel).The pictures in the update strengthen that concept. Whether or not Pixar will put real animators in or next to the building is just a rumor too I think now.

They should paint the blue cones to look like mickey hats! :lol:

I like the Jedi stage, they made it look like the entrance to the bunker on Endor in Return of the Jedi. Now they can do that Star Tours 2.0 update thing we've been hearing about.

It's through the full lot. The orange cones are back where the road leading into the lots are. Another interesting note - they put down sparkle circles with a doodle-stylized SSE on them with arrows in the handicap parking.

Why can't I see your pics? I can always see them. I see everyone elses posted pictures on this thread.:shrug:

 

[doop]

Thanks for the pictures merf, TSM is coming along!

 

[gsimpson]

Typically in this context T & A would be for Test and Adjust, something they do for a while after the ride system is installed. I believe Test Track has the record with a multiple year T & A.

 

[marine1]

sillykid sometimes its the picture provider photobucket flock or others that sometime if their working on it for bandwith red x will appear instead.

 

[imagineer boy]

I love the look of the Jedi training stage! They really put some good effort into that to make it look like the Endor bunker enterance. Nicely done.

Weird. My image server is acting a smidge off tonight too, but i can load the photos and such. Give it a little bit of time and double check your forum settings.
