A new effect, instead. Sounds interesting, to me.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer The way I'm imagining it, is if the fountain was still there, but had sheets of "smoke" off of it, with the water projected on, just like in POTC. We shall see... prolly totally wrong. LOL

Poor Meg will need that 1,000 to partially pay for her monthly expense account! That should take care of a few trips to the Nail Salon.

Originally Posted By GOB I should add that what Magicot reported was from a couple of months ago, so of course, plans may have changed. FoxxFurr and MinnieMGirl are the same person. She absolutely knows what she's talking about, if her blog is any indication. For someone that first visited WDW in 1990, she displays an extraordinary understanding of the parks from before her time.
