While we're crunching numbers, I feel it's worth mentioning that JIIwF will become the longest running attraction in Future World's history in three short months. It will have had a lifespan longer than any other incarnation of anything else there ever has. I remember when people were complaining about how Ellen's Energy Adventure was the oldest thing there and how it was 21 years old at the time of its closure. JII 3 is gonna be 23 this year.

(The current record holder is the Lion King movie that used to play in The Land. It ran for just over 23 years, which is an almost sadder attraction to hold the record considering this is the park that used to have Horizons, JII, SSE '94, etc.)

Is there a virtual equivalent to sticking my fingers in my ears and going “La la la, I can’t hear you”?

What about Living with the Land? It opened on Dec 10, 1993 after Listen to the Land closed in September of that year. So been Living with the land for over 31 years - or are their updates to it you are counting as a "new version"?

Removing the boat guides and replacing them with prerecorded narration I feel is a significant enough change to warrant the current version being considered its own iteration. The track and scenes are the same but it’s still a very different experience than it was in 1993

fair, and guess that was 2006 only 19 years (feels like it has been longer than that with the prerecorded audio)

Eh all they did was go from live spiel to prerecorded, is the narration even that different?
