Imo I’d flip JII & SSE. I don’t think a year will be enough for an SSE overhaul, I’d imagine Figment could take about as long as the Test Track 3.0 switchover. Seems like they’ll either want to take Figment down first to get it outta the way, and then SSE will reopen closer to the 50th. Unless...

Going from 20+ years of JIIWF to the return of JII at both Epcot and Shanghai’s new gate would be something… how many times have they cloned Maelstrom by now?

If nothing is announced for Epcot this year, will they meet their Epcot 50 deadline with a new JII/SSE? In this case the earliest work would start on anything Epcot would be January 2029. Is 3 years enough time for both refurbs considering the fact they can’t overlap?

SSE reopened, are we back??🤔📈

The 1st half of the attraction works for me up until the former Laughin’ Place. The infrastructure is good imo despite the A-1000s having issues from time to time. If they were to completely retool the Laughin’ Place into a scary swamp section with gators and other, more threatening bayou...

I feel like they’re gonna want to have both SSE and JII finished ahead of the 2032 anniversary, maybe even by a year or two. If JII closes early 2027, I’d imagine it’d reopen sometime right before the following expo in 2028, which would be when SSE is announced and then goes down in 2029...

My gut feeling is telling me they might capitalize off of a redo to create a distraction for (rightfully so) disgruntled MV3D fans. There’s a lot of love for both IPs and they generally attract the same demographic of parks fans

Was never around for this era, but it’s fascinating to go back and see how attitudes towards the parks have drastically changed over the last couple decades. Came across a bunch of old threads discussing Time Racers the other day. Insane to me how some people fully anticipated SSE to close by...

If “Sparknotes JII” is still their current plan atm, that makes me especially curious what they’ll do with all that extra space downstairs. I’m not sure whether they’d be open to the idea of a brand new Imageworks in a post covid era, especially after Play was cancelled. My current theory is...

Considering the fact JIIWF generally has the least amount of stuff going on out of any attraction on property makes it an easy candidate for “worst upkept attraction”. Just another reason why this is the pinnacle of crappy design. Once an AA figure goes down, it automatically brings an already...

Eerie shot knowing the fate of this pavilion. There’s another picture floating around somewhere showing the repainted facade with the original JII sign still intact, mid construction

I’d imagine fully electric. These are the motors in his face; https://www.harmonicdrive.net/products/miniature-products/miniature-actuators/rsf-5b-idt-supermini-actuator All the A1000s use Harmonic Drive, but I’d imagine there might be some hydraulics involved in the heavier/larger figures, so...

With the recent GTA 6 delay we may just get Imagination 4 before GTA 6 if all pans out at D23😭😭

The self awareness rooted in the pavilion’s decline on Disney’s part is painfully obvious. One could speculate, that it almost seems as if Disney themselves knew this was the only “timeless” FW attraction, and they absolutely hated that. By their standards of what made FW timeless, almost...

Be thankful it wasn’t massacred for a Spiderman shooting gallery
