I can't believe they actually handpainted them all like that. Good job Disney

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Great to see progress! Also great to see some real on-ride footage!! It 'seems' to be moving at a pretty fast pace around the track.

A lot of work goes into painting those cars. Awesome detail. Too bad there are declining by degrees!

[cfc]

^That's why it's taking them so long to finish it.

 

This is looking like a great family coaster. I love the details they're adding to it.

Did anyone else think they saw any Hidden Mickys? I thought I spotted a couple.

Walking through an empty Disney park is now on my bucket list BTW

Hollywood Studios is very strange empty. Walking through the city part is "creepy". My brother and I had just got off of Tower of Terror on a day with very light crowds and it was a bit after closing. We were waiting for the rest of our group to get off Toy Story Mania so we explored a bit and found it to be almost like a quiet abandoned movie set.

Was at the park today and I saw them pulling clearance envelope along the mine train track

[COASTER FREAK 11]

That's odd, they have already been testing it. Something must have changed, lol.

[SharkTums]

^I'm sure they're adding a ton of theming to the ride and need to make sure they haven't encroached on any reach envelopes.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

No, thats not possible. Remember, Declining by Degrees. LOL.

 

I figured that was the reason.

[SharkTums]

^LOL! Yeah, I'm sure what they're actually doing is measuring how far the RFID reach is and making sure they can steal your identity while you're on the ride! Mwa Ha Ha!!!

[COASTER FREAK 11]

And causing loads of tan lines....

Hey, the dwarfs have to finance their mining operations somehow.

I went on Space Mountain today and the Fast Pass line was really long, it went all the way to the beginning of the games in the regular queue. Then, when we got to where they collected the Fast Passes, they sent to a hallway behind the Alpha queue and we rode on that side instead of Omega like usual.

The dwarfs coaster is looking cooler and cooler every time I come across new photos and/or video of it.

^It just made no sense as there was very little people on the omega side while the entire extended queue for the alpha side was full of stand-by guests that was only loading into he front train as the fast pass line took us to the second train for loading

^When they collected our fast passes they didn't direct us to the alpha side queue, they directed us to a hallway behind it (I believe it leads to the exit). We went down the hallway which took us past the loading areas. They then directed is onto the line hat lead to the second loading area

Word on the street is that tomorrow is the last day for paper FastPass tickets at Magic Kingdom. As of Monday everything is going to FP+ only. Has anyone heard anything about this?

The end is near! Magic Kingdom will collapse and the magic will be gone!

 

The more I've seen from real people using it, the more excited I get about FastPass+! I'm really excited for all the things they can do with it.

There is no designated side for FastPass. Guests can be sent to either side. The hourly percentage of FastPass guests is much higher than 50%.

 

So what your saying is, the standby wait for Space Mountain is greatly increased by the FastPass line? What would average waits be if FastPass never existed?
