EEA "temporarily closed?"

[WondersOfLife]

so I was just randomly scrolling through attraction on MDE app and noticed that Ellen's Energy Adventure was listed as "temporarily closed"...

Did I miss a refurb announcement? Or is it possible that it closed today probably because it broke down as usual?

EDIT: Wellp.. Never mind. It says it's back up now at a "10 minute wait"

Must have been another breakdown

That attraction needs an update. No one laughs aloud at Ellen's jokes anymore. I find myself not laughing because nobody else is laughing, even though I get the joke. Did love her in "Finding Nemo", though, and am looking forward to "Finding Dory". The "Jeopardy!" set is a waste of IMAX (or something like IMAX). IMAX should be used for canyons and cityscapes, not game show sets. And for goodness sake, Alex Trebek has a mustache! Don't get me started on Bill Nye the Science Guy...

I'm hoping not until after this summer. I'm counting on this attraction as my 45 minute air conditioning nap spot this July.

I've never made it through it without falling asleep...

I do like this ride though. At least I USED to. It just needs a modernized update. Ellen screams 90s. But I still think that Ellen, bill bye and the whole jeapordy theme would still be great!!

Actually... I think it should change to family feud with Steve Harvey. And instead of bill nye, have Steve Harvey be Ellen's host!! Imagine how funny that would be XD

If those screens were 3d it would almost be a thrill ride. Theres so much simple potential. All it needs is new projections footage and a brush up.

And a new theme.

Bring back the drama. The mystery. The wow factor.

And a finale.

Eh. I prefer the comedy approach but that's just me. The old UOE kind of sucks the fun out of the vacation..

Ellen destroyed the preshow experience and theatre one. It's just a series of movie screens with a diorama stuck in the middle. And there's no closure or finale.

But we've talked about this before.

Yea, it really is just a matter of opinion. There really is no argument. You either like one version or you don't

They could make it more like Horizons and show ways of the future, I mean anything where working towards now is for a cleaner healthier environment and right now efficient ways of living and transportation is now the future, thats why Test Track can now be futuristic where in the 90's there really wasn't a vision.
