Thanks for the info.

p.s. I love your signature it gave me a good laugh

Wow. Are these going in all of the vehicles?? (I just got a "Horizons" flashback)!

[automation85]

Looks like a good match. From what I can tell, it looks like the vehicles were retrofitted with the screens, which means they are still using the same cars. I only hope that they did some track work to allow for a somewhat smoother and less jarring experience.

Can't wait to check it out in December!!

A bit hard to tell, but it looks to me like the car head rests are a bit different (hopefully better padding). Agree, let's hope they fixed the track to make it smoother, it could really jolt your back at spots.

Me too!

Jakk -- thanks for the pic! Very intriguing! Unfortunately we'll be there in the middle of the rehab, but I am very curious to see how the changes to the ride vehicles will work in with the story.

Thanks for the photo...good stuff.

In some of your other posts, you eluded to changes coming to Journey Into Your Imagination. Any insight on when that might occur?

After fixing JIYI, I hope they'll focus on fixing Ellen's Universe of Energy. (I'm just messing with you because I know you have a different opinion on the Universe of Energy.)

Right now I'm hearing the pavillion will close down when SSE rehab is over so I'm assuming December, or early 2008. All the work going in the pavillion should close it down for about a year or more because there doing a HUGE revamp of the whole pavillion. But right now like I said it should start December, early 2008 and open back up in 2009.

would that pavilion be the body wars place? there has been some major work going on over there lately in preparations for this years food and wine festival. from what ive heard from another disney site like intercot it sounds like body wars was closing because they stated the DNA sculpture was being dismantled and all the electrical outlets was being taken out inside the building on the second floor.

No, I was talking about the Imagination Pavillion. The WoL pavillion will though hold the next E-ticket attraction for Future World but it's still in the bluesky stage. Disney right now wants to refurb everything (SSE, JII) and then they'll start focusing on what theme will take place in the WoL pavillion, and the next E-ticket attraction. Though World Showcase next E-tcket attraction is coming along quite nicely.

Hopefully, the speakers will be higher in the headrest and the volume louder. I don't consider myself as tall (5'11"), but I my back covered enough of the speakers that you could not hear narration. When I would lean forward then it could be hard to hear.

ah ok i understand now. so it seems this will be the end for the WoL pavilion soon then? well i guess they could add something new and exciting and also innovative there because the WoL area is a prime location for re-development and can hold another potential success for epcot. ive never rode JIYI before to tell you the truth when we went the first time my mom and dad told me it was for little kids so we never rode and the rest of the times we went i would forget its there till i looked on our map after we left the park. im all for the Epcot renovating plan anything to improve the park is going on and so far it all sounds good.

Here's a random pic I found of the ride's headrests before the ride was shut down...

...hard to tell if there's any difference or not.

[firefan43]

i would much rather have some padding added than a screen. hehe.

I don't know about you, but when there's padding, i think about all the sweaty people who put their heads on it before me. I mean, sometimes they're wet when I lean on them. Is this to say that pads in SSE would be different, i dunno. But I'd rather not find out on a hot florida sun.

Plus the screens will bring back a small part of the horizons we all miss.

[battlefield2freak]

i dont really mind about the padding. after growing up with six flags you really just get used to it. im sure if that would be such a problem for disney that they would use a special type of padding, i dont know if it exists or not, that absorbs liquid such as sweat which im sure the technology of today can create.

[chrisb26]

The screens look pretty cool I can't wait to be able to try them out when I ride the ride. As far as the padding goes not sure I would want it on the head rest but maybe put it on the seat itself that would make it more comfortable to sit down on that ride I don't know about you but after sitting on the ride for a while it does start to get uncomfortable.

EWW! Smelly, sour Six Flags memories!!! Man that's gross.
