Updates to the Seas Pavilion

[Mac Tonight]

I thoroughly enjoyed the oil rig portion of the ride. I found it quite ominous and evocative as a child.

Rice cream should have some spice, but obviously with the strawberries and sweetness, you have to have a gentle hand with it. Cardamom and cinnamon are Scandinavian spice favorites for sweets. And lots of marzipan.

So, the chamber in The Seas...I feel like I saw it in use in 2019 or early 2020 before the shutdown, but honestly I'm not sure...at least I think I saw more water in the chamber? And it wasn't as green as the picture shared from the last page...has anyone definitively seen it in use since thee parks re-opened after the closure?

Was at the seas yesterday and it was BUMPIN. The lighting effects in the ceiling were sadly not working, the ones that create the water effect.

One problem I’ve had with The Seas for a while is how dark the queue is. I know it takes your eyes a bit of time to adjust from going from bright sunshine to inside a queue, but my eyes tend to adjust rather quickly and even during the nearly 5 minute walk through the queue (I’ll be honest, my youngest is 13, I’m not riding this unless it’s a near-walk on) it is awfully dark.

That queue is three times longer than it needs to be. I feel if this pavilion ever gets a major update it will be like other epcot projects where they seem to just being reversing all the terrible design decisions from 99 onwards. Someone can correct me but the space the queue uses now used to hold a queue, a lobby, two theatres, hydrolators and sea cab boarding area? Did they actually think that queue length would ever be needed or used?

I have this to hand. Messy but the green squiggle is the current queue and the red circle current load. Yellow current ride path.

I would love to see them go with the marine look like in Finding Dory.

At this point it’s almost exhausting going to the park.

Wow, I don't even think the old Living Seas logo got that bad when it was ignored.

It doesn't make any sense, they're raking in more dough but maintaining things less. More money should mean better maintenance.

I noticed that when I was there earlier this week. The overall upkeep of the parks is really not great. Very dirty. Trash buildups and wear and tear everywhere.

And yet we're expected to continue to accept price increases, charges for things that were included before, etc. etc.

The pressure washers haven't returned from furlough. They're all Amazon delivery personnel now.

Yah it was pretty bad. I try to give them some leeway as I know they just hired thousands of people and are trying to get back into a rhythm, but this is just way beyond acceptable

Absolutely. That was my mind set until I saw trash piled on a shelf next to decorative elements in line for the Kringla Bakery. No bueno.

Yesterday just felt like... no one cares

Because there are plenty of people who will continue to pay.

@marni1971 I’ve already heard back from GR who has “forwarded it to leadership”

... because they can't handle the pressure!

Go to bed, dad, you're drunk.

Ok, it was a dad joke - and a pretty bad one at that.
