Originally Posted By monorailblue Mulan Victory Parade was designed to run at night, and frequently did. Some of the effect on floats weren't visible in sunlight.

[...] This project is huge, and they want to open it in 2019, so construction will need to begin in earnest well before the 60th is over in 2016." Bear in mind, though, that this was not WDW1974 who said this.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros If Eureka did run at night, it must have been early in its run (though I realize that it didn't run especially long). The park opened in February and MSEP returned in June, so there's not a lot of time in between On a related note, I've always been very impressed with how quickly they were able to get MSEP back into the park. Surely it must have taken them a while before they realized they were in trouble for the summer season, yet they got it back from WDW and into production by then. I don't see the current management being nimble enough to get something that big accomplished on such short notice

I figured this much out - They are not tearing the building down. If that was their intention ... it would have been done by now. They intend on doing something with the building. I'd love it if they used the rotating portion as a 'rotating theatre' format, once again.

But I highly doubt that it's going to be a rotating theater show. I'm not going to say what I hope it is, because it has been brought up time and again, but I doubt that it's a theater show.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't have any inside information, but I have a strong hunch that they're redoing the lower level to permanently disable the turning mechanism. There's really no use for it with the Innoventions concept, especially since they haven't done the little intro shows for the various pods in many years. If they're going to use this space to exhibit new gadgets and/or characters, it would be much easier to do that in a building that doesn't spin That said, I personally would like to seek them get it moving again. It's a really unique feature, and one of the few worthwhile elements in the entire building

Originally Posted By 2001DLFan I doubt that they will put any effort into disabling it permanently. Why go through the expense if it's not needed. The original mechanism remained during the entire period from when the CoP/AS shut down until Inventions opened.

Disney’s California Adventure Closures and Refurbishments •Luigi’s Flying Tires will be closed through December 1. A new attraction will debut in its place. •Muppet*Vision 3D is closed indefinitely while theater is used for Frozen-themed show. Interesting that Innoventions shows closed through 9-30-2016. Of course this probably isn't completely accurate, but for some reason I was expecting a short refurb.

That's never a good idea or a wise use of money. Just sayin'
