I was going through some YouTube videos of some of the old attractions at Disney, and I came across this video of the World of Motion, one of my favorite rides.

It was a fav of mine, not because it had any spectacular effects or anything, but because a) It was really magical to ride outside of the building, in the evening, over Epcot- as I remember, the lines on this ride were never too long and b) I love cars, so it was really cool, as a kid, to see all of the cars at the end of the ride.  Test Track has a similar situation now with a smattering of cars, but at that point, and perhaps it was the cars that came out at that time, it seemed so futuristic.  And maybe, just maybe, it was driving with my mother riding shotgun that made it so special. Memories.

Disney Blog released some new pictures and details of Ari’s first roller coaster, Space Mountain, at Walt Disney World, scheduled to fully re-open on November 21st.  As you all know, this ride is a lot of fun, but it needed some TLC.  The improvements are well appreciated, and I am sure will meet the approval of long-time and new fans alike.

One thing, if they change the soundtrack, they should provide it immediately on itunes… as many of us will download it right away, I am sure.

The Imagineers have also integrated the relatively recent trend of in-line interactive entertainment, aimed at reducing the frustration level while waiting on longer lines.  This is a very important component of modern amusement park immersion, and should continue to be integrated on other rides.  Occupying attention spans, especially with young children, can be challenging.  According to Walt Disney Imagineering Senior Show Designer, Alex Wright, each game lasts about 90 seconds with a 90-second interval and the games can accommodate 86 players at one time.  We’ll try it out and let you know!

There are many other changes as well, but we will report on all those we notice when we are down there.  The images DB released looked really nice; more, please!!!  I can’t wait to take a ride in January.

We hope to see you there!
