Episode III: Return of the Imageworks?

The theather isn't really THAT big what they could probably add 2 more show scenes by using that space and they would probably be HUGE show scenes.

They really need to fasttrack this imagination project.

I'd be fine with 2 huge show scenes, considering most of the rides built the past few years have 0.

So, what, GPS like the Pooh Hunny Hunt in TDL?

Actually, that would be pretty damn brilliant.

Shame I don't remember more of the original JII attraction. The one there now isn't what it could be.

For fun?

Doubt it. The current Imageworks are so boring. There is only two or three real activities that are actually interesting there.

I went to EPCOT in '84 for the first time....I really dug the rainbow corridor, just something about it was like, er, a "trip", haha (what did I know I was only 7). That was the last time I'd go until this past November.

The new Imageworks really sucked, save for the fact that there were two pieces of old broadcast equipment being used as props (I work in radio), and I was like 'oh, haha, cool', but that was about it..I took the "Behind the scenes in Future World" tour because I heard that would occasionally take you to the second floor, but it didn't on the occasion I took it on 11/08.

First time I went in 91, I remember seeing a picture of the rainbow tunnel in a brochure, map, or some other book and thinking "that looks awesome!" So after we spent the whole day at the park I actually never found it :hammer: I never saw it until my second trip in 93-94 or so.

Actually, that first trip I don't think we even went in World Showcase. I guess Future World had me captivated enough to keep me busy all day (back then I would have been 7, and back then there was much more to do in Future World).

Why wouldn`t they if they wanted to make the longest dark ride ever?
Touché. :D

Wow that was the original plan for JII 4? They could do so much with all that space! I wonder if they considered a trackless ride, a la Pooh's Hunny Hunt. If they want to make this pavilion a big draw again, this would be one way to do it, of course provided that the show was on the level of the original (if they follow through on the Little Mermaid ride in DCA, it's possible). An omnimover would be fine, too, if Disney needed the capacity.

The possibilities sound amazing. Ugh - STUPID ECONOMY!

How close is JII 4 to getting unfrozen? I thought it was just about ready to go before the economy tanked.
