Help me remember a ride, please!

Post by figmentaholic » May Fri 13, 2011 8:10 pm

Okay, there was a part of a ride that I was trying to remember when I was listening to Subsonic while trying to go to sleep last night. It was in WDW and it would have been somewhere between about 2000 and 2003. It was in a tunnel and they actually had either pictures or video I think of different behind the scenes areas, and one was the costume department.

I really want to think that it was part of the Peoplemover, (formerly the TTA) in that tunnel where you now see a model of EPCOT how it was supposed to be but I am not sure.

If anyone had any pics of that, or can just tell me that I am not crazy and I am remembering that right ...

Help!
Are you thinking about the Backlot Tram Tour? That went through a tunnel of sorts between the buildings that housed costuming and the prop shops...

I agree it sounds like a confusing memory of the MGM Back-lot Tours...

Hmm.. Maybe... what else has been in those tunnels for the TTA/Peoplemover? I know they have changed quite a bit.

This past December it was the EPCOT model and the future vision scenes - robots, lady in the hair dryer...

The costume department was inside a sort of tunnel that the tram went through and I believe there were video monitors showing some of the before/after pics of costumes being designed and the final result in the finished movie.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

Sounds correct to me. I think it is the Backlot tour.

TTA never passed through any kind of costume shop.

Unless Figmentaholic is thinking about those windows that advertise the hair salon and other things. Those are on the TTA, but the costume shop she is thinking about is definitely on the Back-lot Tram tour.

Yes I am talking about the windows you pass in the tunnels in the TTA.

The only things in those tunnels have been the EPCOT model, the hairdresser, the guy in the rocket ship, and looking down at buzz and Mickey's Star Traders. Unless your going way back to before they updated Tomorrowland and Buzzlightyear used to be Dreamflight

I know I took some in the tunnels but I don't remember offhand if any of them turned out due to the speed and low-level lighting. I'll have to look tomorrow when my eyeballs are a little more awake and cooperative :lol:
