Can't disagree. HISTA has been playing 3 years longer than Magic Journies and EO combined.

Sorry, I completely disagree with you. Disneyland has done a wonderful job of bringing back attractions some of us thought we might never see again. Before the Tomorrowland rehab in 1998, we got an encore presentation of "America the Beautiful" (gone for so long it was the first time some of us had ever gotten to see it at Disneyland) in the Circle-Vision Theater, we've been given a refreshed Submarine Voyage, the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walk-Through was cleaned up and updated (after being closed since 2001), Mr. Lincoln is returning after being gone for five years, and The Main Street Electrical Parade was brought back as Disney's Electrical Parade at California Adventure.
Maybe nostalgia doesn't work for you. But for me, Disneyland is largely about having that sense of nostalgia. Quite frankly, EPCOT Center should embrace some of that, too. Yes, eventually the Imagination Pavilion should get a new 3-D film (or something completely different), but while you're waiting for Disney to do that, why not embrace the idea of having a refreshed attraction that doesn't cost them a fortune (or a lot of time) to reinstall and that, in my opinion, runs rings around "Honey I Shrunk the Audience?" Yes, "Captain EO" was kind of cheesy. So what? It was entertaining, it has great music and dancing, and unlike HISTA, I enjoyed seeing it more than once a trip.
Now if we could just get them to bring back Horizons, World of Motion, and Wonders of Life...
In the end, sometimes what was is better than what is.

OMG that would rock!!! And since it invloves space they could include Stich in it!!! What a great opputunity to bring him into EPCOT.
I am sure they could make him interact with MJ in the movie!

I still think a Stitch overlay of M:S makes more sense. You could choose Mission Blue or Mission Purple.

He was wrongly accused and the state of California cleared him on all charges. The accusers were also proven to be frauds who pulled similar stunts with Jay Leno and bigbox retailers.
Just because the media tells you something is true doesn't mean it actually is.
Not looking to get into an argument over this, but there is a perception of wrongdoing on his part. Believe he also settled the civil suit with a payment, which makes some feel he was guilty.

I think you are a very small minority that would like stitch to be involved, unless you are being sarcastic.
DL does A LOT to keep the locals coming back. WDW, operates on a philosophy that tourists will come anyway. From that perspective, makes sense for DL to have a limited time return of EO and WDW to take a pass. (I wish WDW would do more DL-like regular plusses, but they seem to feel the numbers don't warrant it.)

yes. Not everyone believes as you do, regarding Jackson's supposed innocence. Would it be too much trouble to keep the past in the past and not bring back an attraction that features a person who paid more money than any of us will see in a lifetime, to avoid criminal prosecution of child molestation charges?

Theres also a group of people that still believe obama was born in Kenya. Should Obama quit because of that crazy minority?
The fact is fans have demanded Eo return and are willing to pay good money to see the show again. It is only temporary for like 2 weeks so whats the big deal?

This is the issue....I don't really care about whether someone wants to play thriller at home 100 times a day and mourn the man for years to come. That's their right and I have nothing to say about that...
..but if this becomes more than a rumor, I will write some very nasty letters to the Walt Disney company voicing my feelings on this.
The theme parks are about children. What kind of message are they sending when they bring back an attraction featuring a man that was accused of child molestation more than a few times.
Leave it in the past....that's the smartest thing to do.

I trust you will also complain to Disney about using proven pervert peeWee Herman in a featured attraction?

Two different things...
Jackson WAS accused of child molestation more than once. He DID pay several million dollars to settle out of court. Those are FACTS.
One can debate the obama thing back and forth forever....the above issues regarding Jackson are NOT in dispute.
Leave it in the past.
Plus....the amount of people that will voice an opinion similar to mine are NOT a crazy minority. Watch and wait. If EO becomes a reality, Disney will get hit with alot of angry park goers.
Hard to compare self-pleasurement with child molestation.
