Tidbits July 2007

Thanks for all the info.

Just to get this straight, the EMH change only affects the people who are not entitled to EMH, ie those who are not staying on property. Correct?

[WDWfanatic742]

Those that don't have a wristband will be asked to leave. So basically yeah, only resort guests can stay in the park.

Any news on RNR rehab for September? Is it still happening?

[ImagiAsh]

I attended the Magic Kingdom extra magic hours last week and noticed the CMs at the entrances to each of the lands. There were two at every entrance doing a quick check of each person (merely just glancing down at everyone's wrists or asking to see the bands) and if you didn't have one, you weren't granted access to that land. I think it is a great idea to be doing this. It helps a lot with crowd control. I have to tell ya, last weeks extra magic hours at MK were more crowded than I have ever seen them before--even with the checkpoints! The parks began to thin out as the night went on, though, due to this new system.

Attraction Cast are still reporting that one is tentatively scheduled for this Fall, Operations has still yet to schedule or announce actual dates.

I'm excited about the new scenes in HM! The DLR effects are great and very cool!

The spider will be greatly missed.. but a new scene will be so exciting!!

Thanks Figment!

I am so excited! I have never liked the spiders and can't wait to "not" see them! Thanks for the great news! (Actually, I am really happy they are updating the audio too. It really needed it!)

[Lizzie]

Thanks again for the updates. I am still crossing my fingers that RNR will be running for at least a couple days on my vacation.

Replacement of the Giant Spider Figures in the Staircase Scene with a brand new scene reminiscent of the M.C. Escher Lithograph "Relativity" ( ie multiple staircases in a topsy, turvy orientation)

cool stuff Escher.

thanks

[AliceinDisney]

Aww the rubber spiders got axed. Oh well, it was time for an update I guess. But I remember those spiders used to scare me when I was a kid! lol Can't wait to see it in September when Im down!

[vizsla]

Thanks for the updates.

[Goofster]

Glad to see the spiders are going! Never cared for them. I thought they looked cheap and didnt' fit in with the ride as a whole.

[BrerEmma]

Can't wait to see the HM updates. That old spider needed to be updated.

Just saw on another web-site, the closing/refurb schedule for O'Canada, has been extended now from 5 days to 26, 8/6 to 8/31/07. I'm not sure if this is confirmed, but if so, it sounds like they might try and do a bit more than just replace the film.
