Originally Posted By davewasbaloo It is coming on well, but I must confess, I was more intested to see the Legoland pics. I love the new Star Wars miniland!
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance "Well, you could add "post modern, Spanish revival, populux" to the mix." And it wouldn't have made a difference to me either way. I'm designed challenged. I have heard my husband talk a lot about post modern before, but I don't know if he's talking about actual design or some philosophy or something else. It's hard to say with him. Mr Curious is very curious himself, and constantly reading about things like that. I suppose he's smarter than me and has a much greater attention span than I. Am I still talking?

Does this mean there's a degree of randomness in the new version? That sometimes you go to planet A, B, and E, and the next time to A, D, and F, and the next time to B, C, and E, etc.?? i.e. they have six shorter clips (and their associated simulator moves) and you jump in hyperspace between, say, any three of the six? Perhaps with some unifying elements at the beginning and end of each trip?
