"Surrounding them, Guests see an abstract version of the triangular panels that make up the surface of the exterior sphere. The panels explode into a burst of energy, representing the genesis of the next great idea. These panels follow us down the ramp, increasing in density as we reach the bottom - affirming our return to Spaceship Earth".

You know, that show scene various insiders insisted simply wasn't "turned on" or wired and needed this or that was screens when it wasn't and all kinds of lies and deception... The above is from the revised Epcot Imagineering field guide explaining the revamped attraction as presented.

I win.

This isn't even 12 hours old...

We statements directly from the company saying they had no intention of changing the descent, that the triangles were as they intended them, and now this statement from WDI itself on the creative concept and what it's "supposed" to be.

But you still wont admit you've been duped.

Oh, and there was more planned for the triangles straight from WDI's mouth.

We have formal responses from WDW and Siemens on the matter and this is WDI's book, so where's that response?

Like to make anything else up today..?

I did my homework.

But I won't, because I don't feel the need to justify myself to an internet troll.

No, keeping a lie going is so important. Giving people false hope that it will be finished next week, next month, next year.. so wont get angry this time and complain - that's important right?

Because that's what happened. When it was first brought up the people were upset but then people like you came in and explained it all away - just wait, there's a plan.. the plan.. wait for the plan..

And wait.. and wait.. and wait...

We're still waiting, it's a few years and Disney got away with it.

Gee, thanks for that. If people had complained when it happened it might have gotten fixed.

Long story short: Look at the damage you've done.

I'm not some Disney super-villain trying to piss on some fan who spends way too much time trying to prove his crazy rants. I didn't tell anyone then, nor will I tell anyone now, because this person trusts me, and I'm not gonna betray that trust for you.

Yes! By the way, Skipper, how many children have you eaten this morning?

2, but I've been feeling under the weather. I'd usually be at 4 by now.

And really? False hope? Damage? Doom? Gloom? Are we THAT over dramatic, Ms. Merf?

It's a theme park. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'll admit to it. Chill it. There's no sufficient evidence, even with this slew of WDI PR mumbo jumbo, either way.

Btw, that explanation is from the revised "Imagineering Field Guide to Epcot".

I'm sure your family is proud.

I can finally go back to sleeping at nights knowing that SSE is complete now.
