Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Jason. Change can be sad but also exciting. I'm both but mostly excited. Can't wait.

Not everyone hates the wand. In fact, here's a recent poll:

It will be interesting to see if they decide to remove it or leave it during this rehab. But I don't really think it's going anywhere right now.

In today's Sentinel, a Disney spokeswoman says all changes will be on the inside, implying the wand will not change.
And, just my own opinion:
Another poster said they thought it would be too expensive to fix the track. I believe the roughness and noise is not from the track per se, but from the anti-rollback system, which is basically a ratchet that prevents the cars from rolling freely in the event of a power outage. They should be able to service or update it without tearing up the track.
I would love to see the Tomorrow's Child theme return. I know it's not likely, but they did it with Carousel of Progress, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I think that I am cautiously optimistic about this renovation. SE needs the renovation. It would be great to see them spruce up the existing beginning, not change it. I don't think I would know where I was if the narration changed! Or - gasp - if the smell of burning Rome changed!
However, the communication of today has drastically changed and the interactive portions in the ride vehicles sounds great. The think that adding to the descent portion of the ride will be great. The bad part will be that walking onto the ride with no wait in the afternoon will probably no longer be an option!

haha i was also wondering if the smell of rome would change. thats my sisters and i favorite part. i also thought that the new ending sounded like horizons, which sounds very exciting.
SE needs a rehab. the technology is too old. were using the technolody today thats supposed to be technology of tomorrow.

I think Disney has officially lost its collective mind!
These simply do NOT make sense to do during the summer months.

Well -- it's no more 'fair' to do all rehabs during the winter either. They have to spread them out.
There is a lot more to WDW than 2 attractions. I'm disappointed it will be 'down' when I visit - but I'm not letting it ruin my trip. I know it's needed and I'll see it next time.

I love to see that SSE is getting much-deserved refurbishment, but is it going to keep with the communications theme? The press release talks about "imagining our futures", but nothing really specific. I just hope that the ride still is about communications because then the ending would not make sense unless they made major changes to the first scene (Siemens is involved in communications, though). No matter what, the refurb should be great.
As for the post-show, I actually don't care that it will not be solely about communications. It's like a World's Fair: Siemens is showcasing their newest technologies. Maybe Innoventions is going to do the same thing now (I hear rumors that Innoventions will receive a major reworking and overhaul)?
P.S. I hope they bring back Tomorrow's Child!

Here is the thing since SSE is sponsoed by Siemens I'm sure part of the deal was the ride had to be update by a certain date as part of the agreement. I mean if you were paying millions of dollars to sponsor an attraction you cetainrly wouldn't want someone elses out dated products being showcased.

Agreed. Im not sure why people think Disney can only do rehabs during "off season" months. Those days are long over. The more rehabs Disney does..(and more is coming..S.M.) the more WILL be done all the time. This is GOOD for Disney and us. Attractions will get rehabed much faster.
