But it's faded so much in the past years that it's a pale shadow of its former self. I can't wait to see what they come up with for this version.

That entire last portion of SSE has been making me cringe for years ontop of the wand, those retarded tv monitors when your going up the lifthill, and the annoying "warning your time machine will be turning backwards for your return to eart..ad naseum"
Originally Posted By Skellington88 oh and I don't know how true this rumor is...but I have heard that either Tomorrow's Child or the Horizons theme song may be used somewhere in the new SSE (probably towards the end)
Originally Posted By WeirdJohn Horizons or Tomorrow's Child would be a great addition! I still have an old cassette of old WDW songs and most of them are tons better than the current set. Living with the Land, Universe of Energy, Imagination, all classics in my opinion.
Originally Posted By danyoung >... those retarded tv monitors when your going up the lifthill...< I'm with you there, Skell. Those ridiculous intrusions (they're projectors, by the way) totally ruin the slow immersion that you used to get going up the lift, with the voices from the past whispering to you. It was such an incredible transition from the real world into the world of the ride. And those stupid, completely unneeded safety warnings destroyed that part of the illusion. My thought has always been that anyone stupid enough not to realize that he was in a moving vehicle that he shouldn't get out of anywhere along the way was also too stupid to receive any benefit from the warning videos. Entertainment by lawyers, pure & simple.

Fortunately I got one of the early CD's that still had all of those old tracks. A very valuable part of my Disney music collection!
