The way I hear it is if Captain EO is a sucess it will give WDI more leverage to redo the dark ride next to it.
Translation: "I don't like that Universal has a ride that takes the Disney standard and molests it."
I actually heard the number of people being turned away (mostly because of ladies with real big hooters) was pretty low. And they're working on fixes.
I thought the same thing...but then realized that it's probably just a way to be able to easily cross-deploy CMs between Captain EO and Journey into Imagination without having to worry about costume changes. The CMs at the ride now also wear the blue Epcot floater/ops coordinator shirt with an Imagination Institute lab coat. That way, if they need to be cross-deployed, they just take off the lab coat and put on the magnetic EO logo or vice-versa. Merchandise is still wearing the Imagination Institute costume.Well the recent costume change for Imagination seems to indicate that something is in the works...
EO dosn`t really matter either way for the ride next door. What did matter is the increase in popularity of both The Seas pavilion and Mexico after the Nemo ride and Gran Fiesta Tour.The way I hear it is if Captain EO is a sucess it will give WDI more leverage to redo the dark ride next to it.

Dark rides are in fashion again basically.
And thats great news! I guess though if they go with 3d effects for the possible ride redo that means its going to be screen based and nothing else?
I just hope they dont use the same lame storyline as nemo and mexico,,,wheres nemo,,,,wheres donald....wheres figment!
They did this it was called Journey into Your Imagination.

I find it kinda depressing that the JIYI theme still plays in front of the pavilion. Can't we just pretend that awful misfire didn't happen?

Most people don't realize this, but the Imagination right itself is a veiled criticism of TDO by the Imagineers.
Just watched today the Attractions Magazine coverage of Eo's opening.
In an interview with Joe Tankersley, show producer for EO, he was asked if there anymore plans for the Imagination Pavilion, in which he replied; "Yes"
Bring back dreamfinder!
This is the chance for WDI to show that they can build fantastic, popular attractions WITHOUT the use of household name characters.
