Having watched @wdwmagic ride-through POV... I'm quite happy. Good job WDI!

Here is a walk-through

Its in wdwmagic’a video. But besides changing the barrier between the lines it mostly looks the same

I don't think I saw any queue photos posted but seeing it in the background of some videos it looks close to the same, which is disappointing. I feel like they could have done more, even with the small space it occupies

Nah it should’ve happened years ago so therefore it sucks! /s

It’s a fantastic refurb. that’s it, full stop.

Store Command really ranks up there along with most of the original DCA in terms of some of the worst in -park nomenclature WDI has ever done.

DL is even more overt about it being toys, it ends with the Aliens declaring that Zurg will be returned to the store for being a bad toy and there's a giant receipt.

No one is denying that. I would rather have something new but knowing the "value-imagineering" that tends to come with todays WDI I am quite pleased that this refurbishment actually turned out well.

long overdue refurb but it looks fantastic

I'm on the other extreme– I'd love to see them celebrate attraction milestones all the time: the millionth ride, an anniversary, a world record... I also appreciate when they do a last week/month/day/ride for closing attractions.

So once again you’re saying you are making things up and can’t answer/add anything of substance?

“Wow how dare they celebrate a massive update that completely redid the scoring system, upgraded targets, ride vehicles, and new scenes”

There’s a very thin line between “anti joy” and “anti low standard immaturity” …I’ll hit the door now 🚪
