Why was If You Had Wings show building extended in 72?

[marni1971]

Here is a question for you - does anyone know why as soon as the MK opened they started to extend the show building to house If you Had Wings (now Buzz Lightyear)? They completed the section east of Circlevision for MK`s opening day, then extended it southwards before the rides 1972 opening. Did someone mess up the schedule, or was another smaller attraction originally going in here? Or was it just to hide the construction of an obviously unfinished building? Anyone?

-curious me!

I don't knwo for shure, but I would assume it was built for something later to do with the peoplemover, and/or was for storage for the 16mm films and extra projection equipment. It may have been the imfamous concourse six lounge.

I found this site that has the background, photos, and history of that attraction. As well as why they wound up shutting it down. Very interesting read.

MY question would be.....

Why didn't they open/un-cover the blinds that are covering the windows on the TTA as you go through the tunnel at that point?

Not like you can see much anyways through the open windows on the right...

The 'tunnel-screen' is still here from the old attractions....

whats the deal??
