EpcotServo's Updates #2.95- Center Nova
EPCOT
-Crowds and weather both mild!
-Journey cover band at Sounds Like Summer was awesome to the max.
-So much stuff at Energy needs fixing. So much.
-NewTestTrack is still so good, but TruckLasers weren't working.
-You can watch the World Cup Thingie at the Odyssey if that's your GOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLL
-Impressions De Fronce is still just the best!
-If you follow my tweetings, then you may remember my posts about "Hako Vision", which is a little box with a Pepper's Ghost effect using projection mapping that you get by scanning a QR code on the side. It turns your phone into a projection mapping, Pepper's Ghost Gundam show and is like the best! Well now they have them at Japan pavilion! Go, go buy them!
-Great new Soarin' merch at Soarin'
-Fun things are fun!
OK, that's all for this and that, now on to the pictures!
ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.94- Gem and the Holograms
STUDIOS
-Weather hot, crowds medium.
-Star Wars Weekends! Organized pretty well this year from what I could tell, though the merch was better in the tent than the soundstage. Met Steve Blum, the voice actor of Spike Spiegel which was amazing!
-Student film groups were filming on the Streets of America which was interesting!
-Also they were filming Rebels B-Roll.
KINGDOM
-Crowds medium, weather was night. Night weather.
-Fastpass still working alright, came in around 8 and got Fastpasses for Mansion at 9 and Big Thunder at 10:45-11:45.
-Astro Orbiter is Astro-gone.
-Mine Train! Really fun. Got two rides in, and best of all two people jumped out of our car at load on the second ride, so we got to just really get it swinging side to side (yo) which was alot of fun. My only gripe is the interactive portions of the queue, which are nice but feel like an inescapable playground. The outdoor queue is really nice though, so there's that. It ain't no 20K, but I guess it's my favorite thing in the whole expansion.
-Got to ride Mine Train twice, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates, Big Thunder, Pooh, and Mad Tea Party twice. Nine rides in two hours, whichisnotbadifIdosaymyself!
-Oh, nice things are nice
-No flash pictures in the mine thankfully, but one or two people drinking from the musical thing. THERE'S A DRINKING FOUNTAIN RIGHT NEXT TO IT!@ - @
-Peoplemover is under rehab. Meh.
-For fun.
OK, that's about all, except for the rest of it!
ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.81- Wild Horses
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
-Weather Hot to Rainy, Crowds more crowded than usual
-Grand Opening of Atlantis was great and open to the Public instead of only MediaTypes, meaning UpdateCoverage which is special.
-Not only that, all guests got special opening weekend programs commemorating the goings ons.
-One such goings ons was all the Private Sector space companies giving out freebies and showcasing all the new systems going in place. This was really cool and much appreciated!
-So ATLANTIS is without a doubt *THE* Florida attraction of the year. Fantasyland and Transformers are nice, Penguinland I'm sure has nice things about it (Penguins), but Atlantis is one DARN fine attraction by any standard. Not only is it something worth seeing, it's a giant pavilion with hours of content to see and do, ASIDE from the near 20 minute show leadup, the GREAT ride that is Shuttle Launch Experience inside, and the main attraction of seeing the Shuttle itself. So wrap all that up with a tidy EPCOT-esque narrative and mission, really incredible new music and lighting throughout every stage of it, and mix in the bundle of emotions you carry into it from years of watching the Shuttles in action, plus top it off with a giant new marquee exterior, and there's just no way anything opening this year in Orlando can top it. KSC may not be your first thought in themed entertainment, but you owe yourself a visit to this show, because this and the Saturn V Center are actually two of the best attractions we have in Florida.
OK, on to the Pictures and such stuff!
ENJOY!^^

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

EpcotServo's Updates #2.78- Robot Rollout
UNIVERSAL
-Weather was hot and schtanky, followed by Afternoon Rain-Type Storms
-TRANSFORMERS! Is awesome. Definitely a perfect Universal ride and really good. It's pretty much just Spiderman, but with Robots so it's more interesting. Definitely not the best ride ever-It doesn't have many practical sets at all,and Star Tours still has better 3D and display (Note: Both made by ILM, so still flawless) but a solid Universal Studios addition and much better, a needed foray with giant robots and great for Transformers fans.
-STARSCREAMM YOU COWARD!
-Also note hilarious Universal Pre-Shows, wherein they threaten you with Jail for trashing the queue, that everyone will think less of you if you chicken yet, and a screaming crazy guy telling you FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T RIDE THIS RIDDDEEE! (Best)
-Simpsons Fast Food Place is pretty good, didn't eat there yet but Buzz Cola was tasty and the area nice. Not amazing, but nice.
OK, that's all for wordings-Now Picturing!
ENJOY!^^
