Yeah, we had the same issue with the A/C in March, and it was just in the 80s on that day. It still felt pretty stifling in there.

Yeah, it even looked pretty rough in March. It seems weird to complain about this, but the smell wasn't working either. I had a similar vibe with Spaceship Earth, but Imagination was in worse shape.

Sidestepping the current conflict in this thread, I think the big issue for me is the removal of perks like Magical Express, Fastpass Plus (for no charge), resort parking for free, and more along with a sharp increase in prices. If Disney isn't going to provide some of the perks that help the...

I feel like they'll end up doing something with the building eventually, but it wouldn't shock me to have a brand new announcement of something that is very different at Destination D23 next year or at D23 Expo in 2024. The fact they announced nothing at the latest Expo is not a great sign.

Cool. I'm trying to stay optimistic they'll do what's needed and just will delay it more than we'd like. That's better than the alternatives of doing nothing or replacing it with a bad fit.

That's really interesting and makes sense in terms of revenue. That would be a reason to remove it quickly despite all the investment to make it happen. That doesn't surprise me about the surveys; I didn't hate it, but it didn't grab me the same way that Illuminations: ROE did. It's fine but not...

The one silver lining with this announcement is that it doesn't slam the door on changes to the attraction. I had goose bumps for a minute when I saw the pavilion on the screen, so it did feel like a bit of a cheat. My hope (which is likely too optimistic) is that this is step one of a larger...

I still can't believe that Disney would bring back EPCOT Forever, at least in its original form. They also seem unlikely to move the Harmonius barges, though I'd love to see that change. There weren't too many big surprises at the D23 Expo, but Harmonius getting removed next year was a big one...

I agree with the point above that Indy 5 would likely need to be a big hit for anything to happen. There are definitely many Indy fans, but adding a full land is a huge investment. The Stunt Show was already in place, and the theater holds a lot of people. It's a great way to draw a lot of...

I was thinking they could solve a lot of the issues by just discounting the price. Ten percent doesn't feel like enough, but I have to remember it's such a hefty price normally that it is a decent discount.

It's also weirdly hot in there. I suspect it's by design to fit with the nautical theme, but I'm always ready to get out of there by the end.

There are some awesome ideas in this thread. I feel like there would be great potential in the World Discovery and World Nature sections even if we stick with those titles. I'd love to see a big re-theme of The Living Seas. They could still have Nemo (and the Marine Life Institute) involved...

This is tricky because I have a soft spot even for attractions that weren't great in the past like the Legend of the Lion King or Body Wars. I'd like to experience them again even if they weren't my favorites. I never rode Journey Into Your Imagination, but I'm sure that would be up there. I'd...

I wish they did a lot more changes like these. They enhance the experience, don't take as much time to implement, and keep the parks fresher (the Gran Fiesta Tour animatronics are a great example, when they work). I also like that this is an extra scene, not a replacement.

Despite the possible opening coming fairly soon this summer, we won't be going back until next year. I'm not convinced it's safe even with all the measures. I'm in no rush to be part of the group that tests whether it really should be open at this point.
