I love seeing the Epcot fanboy logic fail miserably... even with a 6 story plunge. Such drama.

I think it was the mid 80's while Epcot still had the name of EPCOT Center that there appeared a show full of characters above the lake. The characters were on boats and hand gliders, I believe. (Anyone have a link to video?) So much for that much trumpeted "non-character" spirit of EPCOT Center of the 80's.

Anyway, I guess that probably happened while most of the epcot fanboys around here were still in diapers. :lol:

In other words Figment, et al... MISION: Failed

Surprise in the Skies. That was one odd show. I think it was early 90's, though still during Epcot Center time.

I do, however, miss the spirit of old time Epcot. Some of it is still there, and some of the stuff that replaced it is enjoyable in its own right, but it isn't the same. I just don't think it's country-specific character greetings that have hurt Epcot -- it's other things.

I guess I shouldn't seeing how the world says I shouldn't.

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion! I just never occurred to me that would be something anyone would object to.

I do think the game fits much better in WS than it would FW, but that's just me.

It was in the early 90's, long after they gave up on the anti character crusade. Same with Splashtacular.

Interesting show, was entertaining, and only sorta clashed.:lol:

If that's the extent of the characters, I don't mind. Same with the meet and greets.:shrug:

Who gave up the crusade? Maybe it more of a crusade for Disney to entice guests to enjoy the park that had a really bad reputation of being BORING. ;)

Just found a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFIN0VJknzo) and the show was introduced as "EPCOT Center proudly presents Surprise in the Skies." How can they be proud of character "invasion"? :eek:

lol

:shrug: They wanted to open up their Market. I don't blame them.:lol:

This is the kind of stuff I don't mind...Notice that while there are characters and it's pure entertainment, they still have the inspiring and educating going on, in other areas of the park too. It's all a big mix.:)
