It'd be great if some of the scenes had different versions (like Star Tours 2) to vary each ride through some.

Fingers crossed!

January 19, 2012 at 2:57 PM · Correct me if I'm wrong but im 99.9% certain that when I was at the park on Thanks Giving at least three of the scenes had already been upgraded. Or am I mistaken?
January 19, 2012 at 3:21 PM · The best just keeps getting better!
January 19, 2012 at 3:41 PM · It'd be better if they finally got round to painting the fruit and donuts in the queue instead of keeping them the same horrible grey colour!
January 19, 2012 at 3:48 PM · @Stuart: Let's just pretend they're moldy. ;) BTW, that picture looks awesome! I can't wait for that and Despicable Me!
January 19, 2012 at 5:03 PM · @Jorge - That's exactly what I do whenever I see them 8o)

240 days to go until I can ride this again. Aaaargh!

January 19, 2012 at 5:07 PM · What is the original image?
January 19, 2012 at 5:28 PM · Yeah it looks awesome! I think that they were just switching over some of the projectors but they hadn't started with the new digital ride film yet. Don't know for sure?
January 19, 2012 at 6:11 PM · This looks great! I can't wait to see what the whole ride will look like!
January 19, 2012 at 6:42 PM · I'm also excited by this image. This should be a major upgrade in detail and realism in an attraction that is already the best of its kind in the world. The 4K image will really help offset the slightly dark visual the rider gets by having to wear 3D glasses.

January 20, 2012 at 4:54 AM · Is the ride still open or is that something else which is closed? I'm going to Orlando next week and seems most things are gone (Jaws, Jimmy Neutron)hope 've not wasted money>
January 20, 2012 at 5:25 AM · Can't wait till they release more images of the other characters, this is going to be one of the first rides i do when i go back on my first day. and bro it's 239 days now and counting :0)
