Did they reopen Captain EO?

I finally got to watch it @ Epcot in person during Spring Break. (I saw the show on YouTube a few years ago) And to be honest, if Disney really wants to keep this attraction alive, they should get the digital 3D treatment like the Muppets did. This way you can see the 3D effects better because when I saw it back in March, some of the effects were out of focus at times to the point where I got a headache after the movie ended. Overall, I'm glad I saw it despite that problem.

The imagination pavilion doesn't currently have any sponsor. I personally think the days of 3D attractions are over maybe the theater could be turned over to event services and hold corporate presentations inside lol.

yes, as of may, it is still there.

Or they could lock it up and use it to store Disney executive bonus's.

I think they should replace Captain EO/HISTA with a 3D ride-through film of the original Journey Into Imagination with Figment! Now there's something worth a tribute!

You have to remember, some of the motivation in replacing EO had to do with what was going on at the time,mnot that Disney was inspired to drop a new film there. MJ had some.... rather serious allegations at the moment, and Kodak / Disney wanted to distance themselves from the star, as I recall.

Honey was a popular brand at the time, and so it was a good, but quick fix for an embarrassing situation.

Seeing Anjelica Huston in it when she was much younger (and very pretty) was interesting to see.
