No. It was a right mess and a shadow of the original version. So much was missing. Much like Captain EO is today.

That's unfortunate. I'd love to see some good ol' 80's cheese

Low.
I could see them revamping the current attraction to utilize digital projection, though, since they're going to have to eventually overhaul the building for DLP anyway.
Then they could let it linger on in life support and irrelevance for even longer, with less maintenance.

DLP?

The problem is (and they realize it), when you pull down an attraction there, you are cutting a huge percentage of capacity. This moving theater eats a ton of people (up to 500 every 20 minutes..). Where are you going to put those 1500 people per hour on busy days when you are pulling down Maelstrom for a Frozen overlay or a fabled re-imagining of JIIWF that sounds like a joke?
There are so many places to fix at EPCOT, it needs additions if it's going to have subtractions... Hopefully, Ellen and the snake will come back soon so I have something to divert my attention from the other broken Animatroics during my OCT visit...

They decided that Ellen fighting a snake in her dream was too Freudian.

They just need to give it the Horizons treatment! Wreck the place and build tents for more meet and greets.

Are these capacity figures assuming the theater is full? I haven't been on a full ride in a long time (though I tend to go in slower periods), but the impact to the park is diminished when the attraction that is down is only ever half full.

As much as I'd love to see the original UOE come back I think it'd go horrible with today's crowds. An update might be nice, but I think sooner rather than later its gonna get torn apart and something new and completely different will move in. Ala horizons treatment.
The things I'd least like to see move in would be something further Pixar or character related. I loved that Epcot was so free from that. I look at TLS and cry when I see Nemo there. But nope. I know we will only get more characters in Epcot. I can only hope that we will get WallE in there. At least he'd kinda fit in there at Epcot.

Also according to many posts online...Ellen has Never rode UoE after it was done....http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/ellens-energy-adventure-secret.46383/
And also why hasn't Disney sold this shirt in Epcot....

I think the closest thing to that version was the CM Uniform pin when they added the new uniform..

A few years ago he was in Innoventions and this Happened....
I laugh that he calls it World of Energy....

Brain Power is actually wrong since a time where all humans die can come, thus running out of Brain Power. The real answer is Hydrogen. I remember reading that somewhere.
