I have always loved SSE and will continue to do so (with or without the screens at the end). Prior to this it was a hokie light show and some static sets anyway. Really, like I said above, I just want the Tomorrow's Child song back.

    Otherwise, you should head to Vegas, because you're on a roll, baby.

    But it wasn't some high-tech awesomely incredible ending. More like a time filler.

    I'm still right. Why don't you have him tell you when work stopped on SSE? It was not recently.

    Lee found new info. And we all knew it would take a while. It's disappointing, yes, but with this kinda of Disney, it's predictable. Sad but true...

    What else would they have been doing all this time?

    I completely agree, and I can't imagine why Disney felt the need to take this effect out. It was one of my favorites in the attraction for some dumb reason. And it included the flames up on the Roman roads. The scene just seems flat now without this simple projection.

    I feel the exact same way Dan. I guess it was just one of those little things that you enjoy about a ride, and now it's gone.

    I have a feeling the projector broke.

    >>I go by CBOMB over there.<<
    Ah, hiya!

    <<
    To my understanding, broken, too. Or being refurbed.

    I think a lot of people felt that way. My wife said she thought he was facing that way because he was looking up the street in the background. That may or not be the intent, I just think it looks dumb.
