News 'Awesome Planet' coming to The Land pavilion

[Tavernacle12]

So long as the green house portions of LwtL stay I can live with the rest being altered. I adore that ride but some parts (especially the random barn theater in the middle) do need a refresh.

I'm excited for this new movie, though. I wish it was put in earlier so I could have seen it before the 50th. Hopefully they're well aware of us hence the Impressions comment. I doubt that'll have any impact on the IllumiNations replacement, but if that awareness is throughout management (possibly stirred by the IllumiNation replacement's reaction and that of Guardians) theoretically a few more things may be saved that would otherwise be lost (like LwtL, for instance).

Yes it is still such a relevant attraction! I rode with with two 7 years old this past week and they were entranced the entire time. It just disproves what many on here claim, that kids don't want to learn while on vacation.

Smart kids want to learn. It tickles their brain, enthralls their mind, thrills their spirit. Therefore EPCOT Center was the greatest kid heaven ever.

How did you come by two seven year olds btw? Nephews and nieces? Or did you like go all Michael Jackson on a playground and promised them a trip to Neverland?

For me, every time I go on SSE I follow directions and take any small children by the hand.

While this is great news, lets not pretend that this is an E-ticket attraction without an IP. This is an A/B-ticket diversion that will compliment the park. It is not a headliner. I'm not willing to praise them just yet for ridding themselves of IP trend.

The theatres a bit small...

But hypothetically speaking I’m actually not adverse to the fan proposal of putting it in Showcase.

(Should my opinion matter)

It's the right choice. Feel free to mention it to your friends in high places.

Slams desk I got it! Add bug blasters and destroy little bugs taking over living with the land in all out take down. The barn theater can be the biggest part since it's screen based...

I don't see any reason to believe there would be any CGI in this whatsoever. It strikes me as Planet Earth basically.

David Attenborough narrates or we riot.

But with David Attenborough narrating this attraction AND the new Spaceship Earth. Is that too much David Attenborough?

No. The answer is no.

No. The answer is no.

How many attractions did Paul Frees narrate? At least three in Disneyland at the same time (HM, Lincoln and Adventure Thru Inner Space).

Epcot enthralled me when I first went at age 10. I liked it more than MK (the only other park at the time), even though I loved MK.

My 8 year old lists SSE as among his favorite rides in WDW. And Epcot is his favorite park.

So yes, Epcot can be an amazing experience for kids.

My 6-year olds were ALL IN for SSE this last trip. They thought it was so cool to SEE history. Meanwhile, this marked the trip where they no longer asked to ride Frozen Ever After...

My son still likes Frozen - I still contend it's a good attraction. Just in the wrong place.

I agree completely with this...the disconnect with this forum is that a part of SSE that he likes the best is the little game that they have during the descent

Better get that boy's head on straight.

Fortunately, I expect that will sort itself out with time...and if it draws him in to the attraction, I'm not going to complain

No argument here. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time until he begins saying " 'Thank the Phoenicians' , Dad!" Anything that helps my children reach a bit for that next bar, I'm all for it!

I'm not sure what you're getting at.
