If anything, something is amiss if these tiles have been hanging there for months now without being finished.

I get the feeling that they are playing it by ear now, and don't really know what to do with the ending. They feel it's incomplete, but just can't come up with a solution that makes any sense. Just my opinion on the matter.

That way they never have to declare it finished. I think if they would have left it the same from the futuristic city until the end people would have been much happier. That way if you were tired of the video games at least you could still look at all the pretty lights.

Originally Posted By Skellington88 what mousemerf fails to realize is that those triangles and clouds have been there since the new version of SSE opened. They werent added because the attracions descent sucks and there not adding anything more even though everyone says the ending is bad. Don't be surprised if they are never activated either. When they refurbished and reopened Space Mountain in california there were some effects at the beginning of the ride that were never turned on that are still sitting there in the dark and they may never come on. (You can even see a large asteroid just sitting there in the dark). I think we may have the same situation here.

Originally Posted By mousermerf Well, way to make things up Skellington. It's not true, those were added after the hoopla for reopening. They were not there at all for several months of the ride's operation. They even added more over a series of weeks and worked on painting a few until everything apparently stopped - right at the same time as Siemen's putting out a press blurb about the ride not being complete (just before more kiosks arrived in the post show).

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 <<Are you having a hard time picturing an asteroid actually sitting in the dark bobbelee9? >> No, I thought maybe the reference was to someone (anyone) here on the boards. I had a stressful school board meeting today and came to LP looking for something to laugh at. That just jumped out at me. Did Skellington not mean it the way I took it? Sorry if that's the case.
