2011? That's a long way off for this to be the final rendered footage.

Bear in mind, we are talking about a ride here, not just a digital movie. The ride will open in 2011, there is a lot more involved in the process of opening this ride than just video sequence.

We're talking about an existing ride that's still somewhat popular. (And Disney knows the fuss that ensues if you change a classic too much.) And how much are they really going to spend on a refurb aside from changing out the ride film, and maybe changing some of the audio tracks? They've been promising new destinations since the 90's, and money was allegedly the main stalling point.

If they keep the existing footage as one of the destinations, (and they had better!) stuff that looks straight out of a Playstation game is going to look like crap compared to real models shot on 70mm.
