In honor of SpaceShip Earth closing on Monday for refurbishment and removal of the Mickie Arm, lets see some photos of the monstrosity.

A story on the removal:

rptHokie~ you didnt have an "i could go with or without it option" LOL
 

You didn't list my answer in the poll:

"Didn't bother me, but will be a nice change to have it gone"

Besides, I need an excuse to go back, and that's as good as any!

My last pic of the arm, unless it is still there in November. Hopefully not.

Edit: I'm changing my mind. This pic would be ultimately boring without the hand.

I'm a bit with you there YECKIM - it doesn't bother me one way or the other, but it adds a bit of interest to SE. It will be interesting to see it in November without the hand.

where have I been? I didn't even know it was going!! what are the plans for SE?
 
Some views from our trip last month! Who knew it would be coming down! It's kinda grown on me - I like the whimsical nature that ties the whole Mickey thing into the parks. Now we just need big ears coming out of the Tree of Life - LOL

Does this mean that all my Spaceship Earth pics in September will have a huge construction crane in them? :(

Oh well, hopefully it's at least mostly gone by then ;) Never saw it with the arm, don't care to.
 
surprising they are doing this in the middle of the summer...

I never saw it in person without the arm, so I don't mind it at all myself.
 
Gee... i feel bad you all have been out of some sort of loop to know some of the news. Not only is that changing, but so is Illuminations. The Earth video barge is leaving too. The bulbs are very made by a company that has gone out of business, and they hit the barge just about every night on the side of the bridge when they take it to be maintained backstage. (this is the bridge by China.) All is supposed to be done by the time the 25th Anniversary starts this fall... so food and wine will have a new face to it.
 
wonder why they are removing it..personally i don't think the arm "fits" but i don't hate it, just don't particularly like it
 
I'm with Ed and Gregg. No big deal. Though I've only seen it with the arm.

I agree. Boring without the hand. Just a big white golf ball :confused3

Yep, I went back and checked these photos from our trip in 1992. A big white golf ball, it is. Should say Titleist across it.

Andy

ps. The second pic has been SEVERLY photoshopped along the left side as someone walked into my frame the second I took the pic, so it is a guess as to what that side really looked like.
