I personally speculate that the Avatar announcement was Disney freaking out over how they were going to counter Wizarding World. That's why they announced it before they had any concept drawings or actual plans. They probably just wanted to throw it out there and set their stamp on it before...

Dude! In the immortal words of Captain Picard, "Make it so."

I highly doubt it. They might have some merchandise available, but any sort of ceremony they do will almost undoubtedly be on Monday only.

Any speculation as to what's planned to make it "worthwhile"?

I really, really hope to be able to go on the 30th anniversary. I wouldn't even mind ... well, scratch that, I wouldn't be surprised if they hardly do anything to mark the occasion. Instead of braving the crowds at MK for the 40th, I was at EPCOT marking it's 29th anniversary. Of course...

From what I can tell, the allure of either parade has a lot to do with what you grew up with/saw first. I grew up with the MSEP, so for me, it's classic. Whereas Spectro seemed like a lame substitute. The music does have a knack for looping in my head, just like MSEP, though. Not that I...

It'll be interesting to see how they fit everything in that area now with a supposed meet/greet added. I thought that one of the reasons for moving the bathrooms over there was to add more capacity, in addition to freeing up space for the Peter Pan queue. I guess that area will be opened up...

Yeah, pretty much. If they do end up making v4.0, and do it with the Dreamfinder added back, I doubt it would be a complete replica of the original. I would hope it'd be close, and back to the original theme of exploring the different areas of imagination. It dawned on me that no doubt execs...

Man, Disney has almost no excuse not to restore JII back to the original. If they're storing a lot of the original AA's, just put it all back. Disney logic dictates that if I dream hard enough, it'll come true :animwink:

::sigh:: Still no love in sight for Future World. I think if they could, they'd bulldoze Future World and shift Test Track and Soar'n somewhere into the World Showcase.

If they use sponsorship like they did in the 80's, it would make sense. I'm sure GM is putting in some cash to remodel Test Track and will be more involved in the attraction as a whole? I wonder if Disney has even approached other companies as potential sponsors for the other pavilions. What...

I'm just guessing here, but wasn't the original purpose of having a sponsor for an attraction in EPCOT for a company to showcase their innovations? I don't understand Disney needing help with money to finance their own attractions, so why would EPCOT still need sponsors to keep an attraction...

When I rode EE late last month, the Disco Yeti was not dancing for the day. As in, the strobe wasn't working then, either! It could mean one of three things: 1. He's finally being fixed :ROFLOL: 2. Disney could care even less now 3. He's being replaced by a cast member holding a...

Honestly, Disney's current model is "let's put a band-aid over things and hope guests don't notice" or even, "we'll just let it go and guests won't notice". I wonder, if one were to walk up to a random tourist with no prior knowledge of EPCOT's past and asked them, "What do you think EPCOT's...

I noticed this last month, too. While I have to admittedly raise my hand with those who feel the ride was way too loud ... for me at the same time, it was part of the experience. However, the muted volume now seemed a bit extreme when I was on this past time, and yes, I noticed that the bulk...

He's doing an amazing job. Between his simulation and YouTube, I can try to pretend I'm on Horizons whenever I want. There's another simulation being made for the original Journey Into Imagination, too: http://journeybackintoimagination.blogspot.com/2012/02/version-52-new-ride-track.html

A very interesting an enlightening thread! It's a subject that's been forefront on my mind right now. I've read through all 10 pages so far, and have some thoughts ... Why the dino hate at USE? To me, the dinosaur diorama is the highlight of the ride. For those questioning what it has to...

I'm sure people's preferences are influenced greatly by what they saw first or grew up with. I grew up with the MSEP and always thought Spectromagic was pretty lame. Personally, I'd leave the night parade alone and focus on a new daytime parade with completely new floats. I enjoyed the...

My CM best friend, who works at Pooh, stated that so far, no one knows exactly what will happen to that area or what is planned for it. It's agreed, though, that it would make a lot of sense to turn it into a meet and greet for Pooh. The other consensus is the CM's desire for FP to be removed...
