We have stood down from Red Alert

[Driver_dylan]

Stand down, we have dropped the alert. The first day that the revamped HM is open, and it is good. I will not spoil anything for thouse of you who have not seen it, but I will let you know that I was impressed with what they did. Also the fear that they would add Eddie Murphy would be added were untrue. So I guess I can release the "Enemies of Murphy" web address.

Can I also infer that ms Leota Toombs has retained her exalted position as the "head" of the class? :D:

I am not afraid of change and upgrade/update, but when either results in a downgrade of show I tend to object strenuously. Glad to hear that in your opinion this has been avoided this time around.

As usual I will reserve judgement until I see for myself (about 3 weeks from now). :D:

Yep, perfect time of year to open a major attraction: The Slow Season!

Actually, by opening it now, it gives them time to tweek any changes that need it before the "fast season" begins (fast as opposed to slow). :) And of course it gives some of us who rarely get to see something before 6 months of spoilers and picking over any changes have taken place. I ONLY go in the off season and so I rarely ever see anything before it has been picked clean. The last was Test Track which I managed to ride durring the cast preview when I had a friend in the cast give me a thrill and take me as his guest. :D:

And yes the "thrill" WAS the ride, not the Cm friend. He's just not my type (male). :D:

I can't wait to see it. I saw the revamped DL one and thought what they did was wonderful. Now I just need to book a trip to WDW!!!

Since my trip in Nov has been canceled I wont get to see it anytime soon, maybe next year. Someone from one of the fan boards rode it several times and took a bunch of flash pics and posted then on the board so we got to see some of the changes and I know at least one person has also posted a video but I didnt go look at it. Sounds to me like they did a great job, they have added some of the effects we have had at DL and more we hope to get at DL next year.

Wow. Preemptive denial. You really know how we think here, don't you!! :D:

Hey, I wasn't complaining or being sarcastic, I really do believe this is a perfect time to reopen a classic. This way, word gets out that it's open, as you said people like us can go see it before having the first-time experience ruined with too much information, and yes, they can tweak.

I actually wish EVERYTHING was opened during the slow seasons.

And if we are talking about the same fan boy, apparently he was crucified for posting flash pictures of a dark ride. And those same crucifiers would have complained about how dark the pictures were if he didn't use flash.

Aww man I didn't realize that was opened now....I was actually on property on a day off today so I would have headed over and checked it out. I am sure tomorrow at work I am going to hear all about it from other people. Would be great if they got some more air circulation going in that cue line, can't believe thats the first thing I thought of for an update I am weird sometimes. Maybe I should see how late they are open and drive back over there.
