EpcotServo's Updates #2.90- Four For All

Hello everyone, and welcome to an extra-special-fairly-huge-FOUR park Update! Big Update, IT'S SHOWTIME!

STUDIOS


-Crowds mild, weather nice.

-Midway Mania was down most of the day.

-Epic is still a great show

-All the effects working in Muppets

-Pretty Much Pretty (and Such)

EPCOT

-Crowds EMPTY and weather wonderful. SO GREAT.

-Test Track finally has the new vehicles for sale, albeit only 1/64th scale, no larger ones.

-Epcot is wonderfulness

KINGDOM


-Kingdom crowded, weather mild.

-Pirates queue with Fastpass is annoying.

-Mine Train still in the process of being a thing.

-Kingdom is still waaaaaay too much work.

ANIMAL KINGDOM


-Crowds near empty, Weather perfect.

-PLUS ANIMAL KINGDOM AT NIGHT!

-OK, so finally got to try the PaperlessNextgenFastpass Instrumentality Project as it will be implemented, coming in at like 4, going to a kiosk, and seeing what I could get. Got Countdown for 4:45 and Everest for like 6:45, and I have to say it worked great. It's pretty nice to just get your pick of what's left, but needless to say if Soarin' fastpasses sell out six months early than it'll be a major awfulness. For now though, I enjoyed my brief interaction with the Collective though I will never submit for upgrading to the Borg.

-You can see the Yeti at night because your eyes are adjusted, which was nice to see him again.

-If everyone's ok with still loving Haunted Mansion despite the ending being worse than it used to be, I'm still going to go ahead and love Everest for being awesome.

-The band playing at night in Harambe is amazing.

-Everything at Animal Kingdom at night is amazing.

-You're amazing.

-Cookies are amazing as well.

OK, That's about all that stuff. Now for the PhotoVisualStuffs!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.82- E N D L E S S E I G H T

Hello everybody, let's get going for a great .82 update on 8.2!

EPCOT


-Weather was hot as all get out, Crowds crowded.

-FastpassNextgeneverywhere. EVERYWHERE.

-Universe of Energy badly needs a rehab, projections looking mucky, MANY effects gone from dino scenes, attacking dinosaur now TOTALLY motionless, and an entire Doorwall not working meaning sound disrupting the end of theater b show when the dino music kicks back on. Not to mention curtains not working. Since Energy is only the most important topic affecting the future, it's half past time to put aside short term profit and work on a flawless new Energy show and get this Pavilion back to being a showcase of EPCOT ingenuity with it's incredible ride system still a show piece to be proud of.

-Heeeaaaaatttttttt is stinkyyyyyy

-Lettuce from the land is still so delicious

-All the effects are still working on Test Track! Plus the after-scene scores were working, as well as the Take-A-Picture with your design actually showing your design in the post-show. Aside from a general nextgen derpyness from RFID and giant touch screens, the overall show is still holding up really well.

-HAPPY EPCOT!

OK, so that's about it! Enjoy the PictureStuff!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.72-Everything's Coming Up EPCOT

Hey there everyone! Updatetime again, now the first Updatetime of the year from EPCOT! Click on, fellow internet people.

EPCOT


-Crowds low, Weather Fine

-EPCOT at full EPCOT power.

-Soarin' Walk-On in the morning! Straight to B-1! Sets the mood of the day.

-New Test Track still freaking fantastic. Crowdflow worked exceptionally this time, straight from Design Room to Load, no crowding. Only things not working was one of the Hologram screens in the queue, 3/4ths of the Score sceens on the ride still not displaying your vehicles, and the onboard screen acting wonky as they usually do. In the postshow, all's working well. Only thing that needs to be added is the "take your picture with your design" stations, as they still don't let you choose your design.

-Seriously though, new Test Track is just fantastic.

-Mission Space. Still fun. Graphics/infinity screen looked clean and good. Force Feedback Joysticks a'Workin', buttons a'beepin!

-Maelstrom could really use some upgrades and new effects.

-Got to have linner at Teppan Edo. REALLY great. Fantastic cast, chief, and food!

-The Impressions De France digital restoration looks amazing, this has been said.

-But seriously, TWO people were taking FLASH pictures of Impressions De France. What. The. Why.

-The new bakery is open, looked crowded/popular.

-The IBM THINK exhibit in Innoventions opened, and is pretty cool. I missed the message statement film, so the content was a little fuzzy for me, but it's stated quite well and has plenty of cool EPCONTENT to enjoy. Realtalk: I spent most of my time frustratingly trying to put an icon in a basket in order to win a button. I will be back to win more buttons and learn more THINK-ey stuff.

-The Lava/Magma was missing from Universe of Energy, and the attacking Dinosaur static. Not good show.

-Whilst it was a tremendously EPCOT-spirited-day, It makes all the clearer for more original-intentioned shows in Imagination and Energy. Also I note, the general public seems to like songs again. We were a bit jaded with them in the 90's, but let's bring back the energy songs/Listen to the Land/Original songs.

-Seriously, great day.

-EPCOT.

OK, that's all for the words-now onwards to the Pictures!

ENJOY!
^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.70-There and Update Again...

HEY everybody and welcome to another giant Updatestuffs, and before I can get to the getting of it all, we just have to get to it!

ANIMAL KINGDOM


-Weather good, Crowds s'alright

-Steam and both waterfalls working on Everest

-New Zebra finale on the safaris is nice, but not really a finale. Personally I'd like a narrative back.

-Merry DAKmas

STUDIOS


-Weather good, crowds a bit more crowded-er

-Wreck It Ralph meet n' greet seems to be popular

-Fastpass Cubes and new Fastpass Greeter screens on and active

-I have to say, GMR and American Adventure are probably the best total showpieces WDI has ever done.

-New Star Tours still still great, got a great profile. Had a discussion on the MOST cannon ride profile and decided on Han, Podracing, Leia, and Death Star.

-Spectacle is Spectacular

-The turnstiles are gone at Muppets, now just EvilFastpassCubes and a new cheaper looking console.

-Muppets was looking great though, everything was working perfectly except for the burning tires. (Though the effect was on, there was an air pressure release just sans smoke)

-Jack Sparrow is still a really great little show, if you're looking to do it the best time seems to be the evening, during Fantasmic or near closing. Again, videos don't do the show justice, it's all about the loads of great details in the projections and the environment around you. Still not seen the alternate Jack show, every other show has a different part of the show featuring Jack.

EPCOT


-Weather Cloudy, Crowds Crowded to Crowded-er

-New Test Track is open, as as I said last Update it's AMAZING. All the effects were working, and after a delayed opening it was about an hour wait to the design room, and 20 minutes to design and board. The post show still has a few bugs here and there, but is up and running and a load of fun. I seriously love this rehab. It's everything TRON and EPCOT and wonderful. See it, enjoy it.

Speaking of seeing and enjoying-On to the pictures, and...

ENJOY!^^
