I don’t know of any attraction "nobody ever goes to"

Heey-ohhh!

 

[brb1006]

Heey-ohhh!

Miss me yet?

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Miss me yet?

Not even the slightest....

I don’t know of any attraction "nobody ever goes to"

It had air conditioning and seats...I know somebody went to it, but I cant think of any reason I would ever recommend it outside that. I guess it has a step up on Stitch, because I wouldn't even recommend that for the AC and seating.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Am I supposed to feel bad about this? I feel conflicted, because its a truly awful show and I haven't wasted time on it in decades, but its another empty former attraction...

Is an attraction truly an attraction if nobody ever goes to it?

It didn't so much attract as much as... trap.


I've shown off my Disney expertise to family and friends as we go non-stop from attraction to attraction with advanced FP skills and touring knowledge. And even in the rare times we've got nothing to do for an hour until the next thing... I've never taken them to Circle of Life. I want them to have a good time.

Miss me yet?

Oh god...my nightmares have become so much worse now...

 

[DisneyFan18]

Potentially it won’t involve the type of IP we’ve come to expect.

Martin, so it would be a Disney IP, but not a Disney Movie IP?

 

[MisterPenguin]

It's Harry Potter and the Muggly Depletio Mundi.

 

[DisneyFan18]

It's Harry Potter and the Muggly Depletio Mundi.

I was actually thinking of Disney TV series IP, like The Lion Guard as someone mentioned earlier hahaha

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Oooohh...it could be very well under this?

 

[TwilightZone]

closed and replaced with nothing yeah good goals.

better to have nothing in the spot and create the Brazil area in world showcase than it being circle of life forever. That show is just so...meh.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Oooohh...it could be very well be under this?

Or National Geographic, which is a Fox subsidiary.

Have you not seen Sybiosis? This movie at least riffs it like an MST3K film since they used many bits of the original film..

 

[MinnieWaffles]

I never saw this attraction, so I can't get too upset by this...

 

[TwilightZone]

yes I have. Symbiosis is more then meh, it's boring. But circle of life being a lot less boring doesn't make me like it any more than I already do.

 

[UpAllNight]

im glad they’ve realised that dated videos & projections look awful in a Disney Park and have worked on replacing/upgrading/changing this, Mission Space, and the movies in World Showcase. Still work to be done, but atleast they’re sorting the easy fixes.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Well, here you go...

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Just wondering tho....Was the animation for this film worked on at the Former Animation Dept at DHS?

 

[JohnD]

Yes, the film is dated and should be reimagined. However, when you think about the general pattern of behavior . . . . . . .

Wonders of Life - Festival Center
Innoventions - Epcot Character Spot, Empty Space
Odyssey Restaurant - Festival Space
ImageWorks - DVC Member Lounge
Universe of Energy (Show Building) - Queue
Circle of Life Theater - Disney Performing Arts Youth Program

Why must we continue to lose show space?

Why are you looking at the negative? I thought a reimagining of Epcot was around the corner.

It’s turning into a very long corner.
