captain eo closing ?

[taz0162]

Didn't take the time to see EO during its first run but did see it this past December and as a new viewer to this show I have to say I really did not like it. Graphics were horrendous, acting sub-par, story line dreadful, and would never see it again. I say and have said before bring back a HISTA similar themed show with a scientist and maybe figment to help him/her out, along with 4-D with an educational yet fun experience.

EO sucks but I don't want yet another Epcot building standing empty.

Well, as far as the graphics go, for the 80s, those were actually pretty good.

Spandex, Big Hair, whats not to love ? Oh maybe the two headed hand puppet is on part with Cookie Monster and the falsetto voice acting is horrendous, but Michael comes across as a nice guy at least on the screen that can sing and dance like no other. The effects are very dated though.

True it may have been top of the line then but it really should not have been released again without a Major update to the graphics.

I only wish that the title to this thread ended with a period, as opposed to a question mark.

It needs to just close. Even when it reopened it was never busy from my experience. Epcot really needs something new and fresh so hopefully we will get something good.

Good riddance!!!! I still am shaking my head that they brought it back at all!

I"m not sad to see it go, however, I am sad to see another EPCOT building left standing empty. Such potential for that park yet nothing's being done. Thank god for the alcohol choices.

IMO the only thing good about EO is the air conditioned nap time.

I definitely hope they can put that '80s relic to bed and get back in the swing of things with the hip comedy stylings of Rick Moranis.

EO desperately needs to be replaced with something new, but if it closes now they are just going to shutter the theater and it will be yet another empty place in FW for a very long time.

I'd rather they actually work on a replacement first before closing anything.

Best rumor I've heard was a Phineas & Ferb 4D

I don't personally care for it but for some reason my daughter digs it. If it's still there in December I guess I will suffer through.

Captain EO was great in it's time and was an EPCOT classic. I also loved the first time I saw HISTA and that was a really good show. Now it's time for something else that is origional and a little off the wall. Captain EO was a big part of what the Imagination Pavillion experience was all about. You first went to a great Ride (The Origional Imagination), then went into the Imagination Labs and then went and laughed and smiled at the Jumping water and then seen the show. I wish they would fix this pavillion and bring it back to what we all loved and went crazy over. Imagination lost it's imagination and is currently struggling to figure out what it wants to be when it is allowed to grow up. Disney was always about creativity and imagination. I feel WDW had a great ride that they felt could be made better. Sometimes the saying of if it ain't broke don't fix it applies here. EPCOT is still my favorite park because it was always different and loved the different approach. It's time to put EPCOT back on the Fun list. It can be done, it's just no one wants to put a little effort into it. They are trying to milk out all they can from this wonderful park without updates and new sponsors and attractions.

I hated HISTA and am more than happy to have it gone forever... I really enjoy EO, but it was always intended to be a temporary run. Something new needs to go in the Magic Eye Theater...

30 years ago, EO would have been awesome. Now, it's just pathetic.

Even EO is better than nothing, though. It sucks some people in there. We don't need MORE empty buildings!

If we cannot have something new and must have a decades-old movie, HISTA was much better. Stick HISTA in there until something new comes along.

Meh. Now, if it was a show dedicated solely to Doofenshmirtz? YES.
