Part of Mission: Space to become no-spin zone
In the wake of the second rider death on Mission: Space, Disney on Tuesday announced a change to the popular Epcot thrill ride. Beginning some time this summer, there will be two distinct experiences at the attraction. In addition to the current "wild" version a second "mild" version will become available. Basically, Disney will turn off the motors in one or two (depending on demand) of the centrifuges. Signs posted in the queue area will outline the difference between the two modes and provide health advisories appropriate for each experience. It is uncertain whether the gimbal motors will also be turned off, for a completely stationary experience, or whether there will still be some rocking and shaking of the capsules.
While it may seem like a simple modification"just turn off the motors"the change will not go into effect until summer due to logistical reasons. There needs to be design work done to accommodate two queues, two sets of Fastpass machines, and a new set of signage. A new set of pre-ride films may also be necessary. Once that is accomplished, Mission: Space will convert over to the two-tiered system.
Disney has stated that the changes have nothing to do with the deaths of riders. "By offering a second adventure, we hope to broaden the appeal of Mission: Space and enable even more Guests to experience the attraction," said Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Providing a choice between two ride options will help to further encourage all Guests to carefully consider posted health advisories when making their decision."
By offering the ability to see what the attraction is all about without having to go on the centrifuges, people who are uncertain whether they should ride or not will choose not to submit themselves to the rough ride just to "see what it's all about," since they can see what it's about by taking the milder version. Basically, it will apparently be a permanent accommodation made in the same or a similar fashion as the occasional on-demand "test flight" mode for Star Tours, used to accommodate those in wheelchairs and with motion sickness when crowd levels allow.
Of course, there may still be people who think that they're up for the wild ride and will have difficulty with it, and people with undetected ailments will still ride not knowing that they're in danger. However, people who ride just so that they won't miss out will now have a safer alternative.

Pleasure Island demolition continues
Work continues at Downtown Disney as Pleasure Island continues to lose its "haven-for-adults" feel. Brian Warneke has again supplied us with some great photos this week.

Woman dies after swim at Coronado Springs Resort
Nancy Heizer, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, died Thursday night after being found face-down in the pool at the Coronado Springs Resort. The 58-year-old woman was found motionless in the pool at around 8:00 Thursday night by other guests. Several guests pulled her from the pool and administered CPR, and a guest who was a registered nurse used the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) provided by Disney in attempts to revive her. The Reedy Creek Fire Department arrived on the scene and continued resuscitation efforts while transporting her to Celebration Hospital. She was pronounced dead at the hospital just before 9:00. It is unknown at this time whether there were any other circumstances contributing to her death.
Man arrested for stealing Disney cash registers
On Friday afternoon, April 28, Orange County Sheriff's deputies arrested Jamie Driscoll in the lobby of the Pop Century Resort. Driscoll, 40, later confessed to eight thefts. He reportedly snipped the wires from the registers and took the entire registers away in large garbage bags when the clerks were not looking. Driscoll had previously hit the Magic Kingdom park, Polynesian Resort and six other resorts, taking a total of about $7,000 since March 24.
According to police reports, Driscoll was caught after Disney security spotted him on property and notified the sheriff's office. He claimed that he was stealing to support his cocaine habit. Reportedly, he also confessed to planning an armed robbery at the post office on Turkey Lake Road later that day.
Buh-bye, parade snowglobes?
We have a couple of reports that the Share a Dream Come True Parade floats will be undergoing some changes in the near future. Word is that floats will be taken out of the parade one at a time for removal of the "snow globes" and perhaps some other modifications. Work is planned for completion by August. No word yet on whether this means any changes to audio, choreography or the name of the parade.
Work to enclose the Theater in the Wild at Disney's Animal Kingdom continues.

Florida drought raises fire fears
Central Florida is suffering through a severe dry spell. Brush fires in Volusia and Brevard counties are chewing up acres of dry foliage. It appears that there are concerns about flammability at the theme parks, as well. Mike Scopa reports that Cinderellabration has not been firing the pyrotechnics at the end of the show, and that there are many new sprinklers along the track of the Walt Disney World Railroad to wet down the dry plants and trees. It is unknown whether nightly fireworks might be affected if the drought worsens.
Liberty Belle refurbishment continues
According to Mike Scopa, the Liberty Belle Riverboat was finally removed from the backstage channel behind the Rivers of America early Friday morning and towed to the drydock on the northern shore of Bay Lake by the Richard F. Irvine ferry. Mike reports that the riverboat is in bad shape. The boat is now scheduled to return to service on September 22. It is also expected that the Rivers of America may be drained and cleaned at some point this summer.
Correction on Disney's Magical Beginnings
Last week, our description of the new Disney's Magical Beginnings program noted:
The marketing spin includes describing Extra Magic Hours as "On select days during the Little Ones Travel Time, Magic Kingdom will be open one-hour early for Disney Resort Guests to enjoy select Fantasyland Attractions like Dumbo and Peter Pan" rather than indicating that the hours are for everyone, and all types of rides will be available for riding in different parks each day, sometimes in the evening as well as the morning.
There will in fact be additional Fantasyland-only Extra Magic Hours at the Magic Kingdom for resort guests every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday during the "Little Ones Travel Time" period. Another note in that statement could possibly have been misinterpreted. The portion about "the hours are for everyone," meant all resort guests, not just those on Magical Beginnings packages. Thanks to all of those who brought it to our attention, we apologize for any confusion that this may have caused.

Quick takes
Some time in the last couple of weeks, Disney changed its water park refurbishment schedule. Blizzard Beach will now be closing first, on October 29, with Typhoon Lagoon closing in December when Blizzard Beach reopens. Please plan accordingly. Thanks to reader James for pointing this out.
The new menu at the Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant appears to be extremely popular. In fact, Mike Scopa reports that there are not enough tables to handle the patrons.
A new display in the queue area of the Great Movie Ride features the children's fur costumes from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Conversion of rooms to family suites at the All-Star Music Resort continues. Building 9 will be the next to go down as work on building 2 wraps up. When those two Jazz Inn buildings are completed, work will move to the Calypso buildings. I'm being told that the rooms will be less "music icon" themed and more "Disney" themed, with plain rugs, round game tables, and lots of Mickey heads
The Contemporary Resort has "curtains" along the entire interior balconies of the sixth and 12th floors, visible from the fourth floor main concourse. Work continues on exterior balconies on the marina side.
Word is starting to circulate that Cinderellabration's last performance may take place on October 31, with Cinderella's Surprise Celebration returning immediately after that.
Keystone Clothiers on Hollywood Boulevard at the Disney-MGM Studios is closed for renovation.

Trivia question of the week
Thirty years ago, if you were to walk out in Frontierland from Liberty Square and stay to the right alongside the Rivers of America, what was the furthest attraction that you could walk to?
(Answer will be posted next week.)
Answer to last week's question: While many attractions from Disneyland were copied at Walt Disney World, the Country Bear Jamboree was the first Disney attraction to debut at Walt Disney World and later be copied at Disneyland Park?
