EPCOT O Canada and China

[Mickey5150]

Now for me I would have found it funny if they did the reverse: Celine as the host, she says the line about it hosted by a "True Canandian" and the narrator asks "Is Martin Short here?!?!" and she screams "NO MARTIN SHORT IS NOT HERE!!!!!"

That's also a good one.

Well, now we know why the joke Corey Burton brings up going to the France Pavilion where they appreiaciate an invisible narrator wouldn't work due to the lousy scheduing of Impressions Du France..

Good eye! It's been a while since I saw it (July). I really can't wait to see it in person.

I've think i've clearly watched it too many times. Looking forward to seeing in in person this July.

One of the coolest parts is how when you walk into the theater the screens are already on with a forest scene. You don’t ever see the screen go black until the very end

That's a cool idea! I always wished they would do that idea with Soarin'/clouds.

Yes it's the first day of the movie but it's nice to see it get a crowd.

 

[aladdin2007]

great to see people waiting for it but as discussed in another thread, I forget which right now, they need to get world showcase opened earlier, there are too many people anymore to have so much closed and locked up all morning to paying guests.

Just a side gripe. One of my biggest issues with all of the shows is that they don't pop up on the attractions on MDE. I certainly understand the wait times can't be updated necessarily. But, there are so many guests that have no clue they are there because they aren't on that main map. Universal has several designations, and I wish Disney would too.

What happened to the new "seamless" projection system?

From what I heard, apparently it's suppose to debut for an update version of the China Circlevision show.

It’s in France as we speak.

My only reaction to this is one big Helli-yes!

Think I might have said it earlier in the thread, but I was kind of stunned when I got back to the parks this past summer and heard a number of people surprised to hear shows like O Canada were there at all, they had no idea.

They're such good, solid experiences that it's a shame they don't get more promotion. They're obviously not modern day E tickets, but people deserve to know how well rounded a day a park like EPCOT can present.

And more importantly, what is actually included in the cost of their admission ticket.

You'd think with ever increasing prices there'd be more of an incentive to sell what the parks have.

they seem to focus on presenting alcohol, instead of attractions

Luckily the center of "World Celebration" will be a giant sky bar - symbolizing man's eternal quest for drunkiness.

I was hoping they’d get rid of the awful pop version of O’ Canada and bring back the original.

I for one am glad they decided to keep the song sounding like it came from this century.

And O Canada was the name of the film, not the song.

I also caught the ice skating on the frozen canal footage but you had to be quick as it was only on one screen. My only gripe is that some of the cityscape likely looks much different today with new skyscrapers and all but overall, I loved this addition. It had that EPCOT vibe and was simply well done. Kudos to the team that did the digital conversion and to the editors because you really couldn’t tell where the old was stitched to the new!
