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 Update #2.84- The Epdays Are Just PACKED
EPCOT
-Great weather and low crowds!
-First time using the turnstyle-free entry boopers. It's pretty nice, albeit very Doctor Who Cyber-Monster Creepy. It's fast and easy though.
-Starbucking
-Test Track exterior loop has gotten some exterior signage along the exterior loop, including a nice Progress City tribute right after exiting into the outside.
-NewTrack is still great and all the effects were working.
-Illuminations does have a new alternating blink effect with all the countries popcorn lights.
-It's also still such a perfect show.
-Japan has some cheap Totoro fans perfect for the Ghibli fan on a hot day! Instabuy for lots including me.
-Eperfection
OK that's about it, on to the Pictures!
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 #2.70-There and Update Again...
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!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.68-Pushing the Sky
EPCOT
-Weather good, Crowds nominal
-The Food and Booze has ceased it's Festival-ing
-Jazz
-Test Track's work is startin' to come together from the outside, cycling nightly
-Japan Pavilion
-Words
STUDIOS
-Weather coolish to warmish, Crowds getting Crowded-er
-PIRATES! So the show soft opened for the first time today for guests, and I enjoyed it immensely. Basically it takes the Narnia space which throughout the history of the Studios has usually consisted of no more than a set and a screen. Now the set and the screen have come together, and with a modest budget, the attraction is a worthy little D-Ticket show that won't date and is immensely cool for any Pirate fan. First of all, the Excommunicated Skull from our Pirates is the host of the show, and the entire preshow is a giant cool updated version of the talking skull spiel.
There's been some comment on the voicework which is fair, but I love the talking skull because it sounds (and looks) like the blue-eyed skeleton robot, Geoff Peterson. Now the one gripe about voicework I would make is the Davy Jones sound alike not sounding too on-model.
Now the star of the show is that the entire set is one giant lighting/projection piece, so what doesn't capture on video is all the details in the show because of that. (For instance, Jack pops the cap of a bottle with his teeth, and when he spits it out you see it hit the wall) The entire show is like that, and is kind of like a newage Circlevision film. The big picture is nice, but the details make it entertaining for all. The other thing I've heard online is the idea of the participation being stupid, but it really isn't. As someone who hates that kind of thing, it's not anything like that. It's more like applause queues, it just helps make the show a less passive experience.
Now the actual Jack Sparrow is incredible, and worth a visit for alone. Imagine the queue projections at Forbidden Journey, but the lead of the show with a MUCH better setup and even MORE realistic.(For instance, Jack Sparrow actually has a shadow, a new trick for this using technique.)
Sorry, I've got away a bit. I really like Studios and Pirates, and hated Narnia, so I'm very pleased my prediction of the building sitting empty was turned into something really quite cool. Also neat thing I learned: Pretty much most of the props are from the films. The candles, the Aztec chest, The corset, and pretty much everything else. It's a change of pace from the usual Studios use of props under glass. There are none in the exit hall because they are all used in the ride. And the Black Pearl is the centerstage of the show, with water crashing over her bow. So that's about it, don't watch the videos, get there early, and enjoy it. It ain't no huge expansion, but it's a significant improvement over the space's usage for the last 20 years, and is a fun little show with a large amount of neat details and technology.
There's nothing to shill, There's nothing to foam, so There's also literally no reason to bitch about this.
-Tower has an Apollo 13 rig to get the Oxygen from the Bell Tower into the Ride Capsule for the return to Earth.
-They've replaced all the blacklights in RNR and the ride is crazy bright.
-I think that's it
-Is that it?
-Oh yea, see Lincoln, Skyfall, and Wreck-It-Ralph while you're at it
-OK, that's it.
ALRIGHT, off of the words and on to the pictures!
Enjoy!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.59- 21st Century Boys
EPCOT
-Crowds were mild, weather was mild, followed by hot, followed by rainy, followed by night.
-EPCOT Snack & Booze preview! As expected there were many foods and wine-type beverages being consumed merrily by people.
-I love the Epcot 30 windows at Mousegear and Art o' Disney.
-The Land's new Land-scaping that Update broke last...few...whenever it was, still looks great.
-Test Track is in the thing-converting process
-Mexico has a new lobby exhibit that's pretty well done. And it quotes El Rio!
-"Lalalala, lalalala, lalalalalaaaaaa"
-At Norway they're now showing the movie with the doors open letting people just walk through at all times. It's really distracting if you want to watch the show and kind of bad show I think.
-Reflections of China was a pretty great rehab of the film
-The Nextgen Posts are starting to appear suddenly and mysteriously everywhere like the black cubes from that Doctor Who episode.
-No matter where I serve thy guest, they seem to like mine kitchen best
OK, that's about it for some stuff. Now this stuff!
Enjoy! ^^
