EpcotServo's Updates #2.99- Park Runner

Hey everybody! It's time for that kind of Update time again! Let's cross the river, you can do it!

EPCOT


-Weather breezy, crowds not busy

-At Universe of Energy, many things not working but now Ellen and the snake-like creature were both missing. Just a large vacant scene with no audio. Seriously?

-Maelstrom Lives

STUDIOS

-Frozen. Too much.

-Hot and rainy, crowds aplenty.

-Another attraction closing with not much to show.

-It's a shame it won't stay open. But then again, who does?

OK, that's about all for these words, now on to these pictures!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.92- Shindig for Studios

Hey everybody, long time no Updatin'! So let's Update, now!

STUDIOS


-Crowds medium, weather was almost rain but never rained.

-Studios 25th was alot of fun, and much better organized and handled than either Epcot Anniversaries. Plus not to mention I got WAY more interaction with Cast Members wishing a Happy StudiosDay to me than any interaction I had on Epcot's 30th. Nice to see the love!

-Second interaction with FastpassUltimateForm, and it still worked well enough for me.

-Mulch, Sweat, and Sheers has gotten REALLY good. I mean, they've always been good, but darn are they rockin'! Give them a listen.

-No broken effects anywhere to report.

EPCOT


-Crowds light.


-Go see the Flamboyant Cuddlefish at Living Seas.

-Spaceship Earth and Japan Pavilion forever

-The Communicore Paint scheme. Not a fan.

-Flowers and Gardens is still pretty and fun.

OK, that's all for that and stuff, so here's the rest!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.89- Let It Snoap

Hey there and Happy Holidays again my friends! Time for one more Update before the new year, to get you in the Spectacle kind of mood! Read on, using the adjacent clicker device on your computer or laptop type device!

STUDIOS


-Crowds mild to heavy, weather mild

-Things are getting so efficient at WDW, that nothing is efficient. Everything is full, utilized, time-managed, and over-thought. It seems like since full integration, the MCP system has everything gridlocked into rigid conformity that makes everything slow and efficient. If ALL the people have Fastpasses it just means every street is packed and every queue is empty and near-stationary. Pbbbbt.

-For instance, Star Tours is now distributing Fastpass windows that are for RIGHT NOW. So weird.

-Spectacle is still great

-STUDIOS!

-SEASONS GREETINGS!

-STUFF!

-And other things, too.

OK, that's about it...Now to the Pictures!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.79-Bigger, Badder, Botter

Hey everybody, it's summer! There's a park! Let's visit!

UNIVERSAL

-Transformers Passholder Preview Hour was a bit of a cluster, but they did their best to keep it together. Kudos to the event staff and ride crew for keeping calm under pressure!

-The ride is still awesome, but after getting one perfect ride in, both other rides were pretty majorly wonky. The best of which, bad block timing and sound dropping out, but then in the Lift down it rotated backwards from the screen (Forward position since the ride vehicle itself is traveling backwards for the entirety of the second floor) so basically getting to see both levels as you travel downwards, as well as the AMAZING lift mechanisms in the center. Yeah, it was really cool. I love that stuff.

-Universal rides without sound are hilarious, because you can tell how loud they are normally. It's like bobbing and rocking in a big quiet empty room.

-The crew was really superb keeping their calm even when everything went Fubar with the ride. Some bad quick saves were upsetting people, but offering rerides to everyone will do that, and that was a nice gesture but really gunks up the works.

-Men In Black is still my favorite Universal ride since Jaws closed.

-Hot. Stinky. Crowded.

-Mummy and MIB walk-ons are best. Then leave, quickly!

-I don't usually advertise, but seeing as this is the last Update for awhile most likely with the crowds descending, please check out my RedBubble designs, including a new Universe and You one for fellow Alien Attack fans! http://www.redbubble.com/people/epcotservo

-Words.

OK. that's all for words-now the pictures!

ENJOY!^^

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.73- My Funny Valentine

Hey there everyone! Got some Valentine's day Studios for you, so let's get right too it!

STUDIOS

-Crowds medium to crowded, weather overcast and drizzly

-The turnstyle-less entry look is creepy. It doesn't help they glow eerily.

-Got to see the second Jack Sparrow intro at Legend of said Captain Jack Sparrow, and it was pretty good. Have to say, still a pretty great little show.

-Midway Mania, Tower, Coaster, Star Tours, Muppets, all still great.

-New AFI exhibit is really shiny and worth checking out. Some really amazing stuff. 

-I was happy to see the Tower shop carrying cool Twilight Zone merch.

-Coaster's Guitar is under Guitarps

-HA

-The electronic ticker crawl at the Wreck-It-Ralph meet and greet is still brilliant. Stop by and read it sometime.

-Bizzare new things appearing in the Muppets pre show. Do not want.

-The show itself though was AMAZING...ALL EFFECTS WORKING. YES. Plus the side wall smoke effect when the theater blows up let off the most amazing amount of smoke I've ever seen, let alone for an effect that rarely works. Burning tires, Balcony arrows, EVERYTHING. It was great.

-Almost done

-Ok, it's done.

BUT wait! It's not done! Now on to the pictures!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.64-Announce and Rollout

Hey there peoples of peopledom, it's time for more Update, so GLITCH: REBOOT!

UNIVERSAL


-ANNOUNCEMENT! The announcement was pretty fantastic. Well teased in the evening by soundbites of a transmission interrupting the show announcements. It was pretty cool, and I love these one-day-only-had-to-be-there-events like this. I wish all parks would do it like this and announce to the PEOPLE of the park rather than beyond a closed off event-area. It should be for the peeps in the park as much as the media!

-I'm pretty excited for Transformers. I can understand an intense and rational apathy of aversion to the movies, but Transformers are pretty darn cool. They just are. Giant Robot Charter of 1862 says so. You should be excited for this.

-Cinematic Spectacular lasers are laseriffic and make the show even better

-Horror makeup show is a great little classic Universal gem to see every now and again.

-LoudSpinnyJumbotron, where did you go, and why is it quieter at CityWalk now?

-The walkaround Transformers will be worth your time as well.

-Wreck-It-Ralph is in theaters. GO SEE IT. You WILL enjoy. IMMENSELY.

-Crowds were light, Weather seasonably cool, Stars out at night, +/- Cloudy or bright 

-Universal, I'm happy for you, and ImmaLetYouFinish, but Firehouse Subs makes the BEST BROWNIES of ALL TIME.

-There are like SO many cranes you don't even know

-I forgot what I was talking about

-Oh yeah, Disney bought Star Wars was a thing happened

-Motorcycle was working again at Terminator since last I updated it was not. 

-Wait, what?

OK, That's about all for that. To THIS you boldly go!

ENJOY!^^
