Sum of All Thrills Closing?

[Jon81uk]

There's no reason why in this day and age Disney can't foot the bill themselves if they can't get sponsors to do so.

But think of the shareholders!

;-)

I haven't read the entire thread, but poor Innoventions is Disney World's Old Yeller. Can someone just take it behind the shed already and put it out of its misery already?

PHOTOS - New Epcot guide map includes new additions and a return of Sum of All Thrills

Was surprised to be able to ride on Tuesday and meant to stop in here to share the update. This is good news .

I could only see up until the word "return" in the headline. So I was hoping it would say that the icons were returning.

But Sum of all Thrills is just as good to hear. To me, it better than Mission Space, so I guess I'd consider it the 11th ride in the park. I'm glad it's staying, and glad they have the good sense to keep it running even without a sponsor. And I hope it doesn't just run for a few more months, I hope it stays.

Unfortunately it still is planned to close by the end of the year.

Does that mean we will start to see signs of progress on the FW revamp project?

It's a shame because I really loved the area music for Innoventions. Especially the old version before they shortened it.

I wouldn't expect to see that too soon. I think in the near future the only thing we'll see will be the continuation of the decline of Innoventions unfortunately .

I thought this what a hint of what Epcot could be.

It gets youngsters thinking about science and maths, whilst entertaining and offering a thrill. Madness to shut it despite its limited capacity. If anything it should be upgraded and expanded.

Couldn't agree me. Heck, make that entire building of Innoventions just SoaT if needed for capacity, but it's a great experience that is both fun and actual carries on the original vibe of EPCOT Center.

I often refer to the attraction as the hidden gem of Epcot.

Well I guess it has to get worse before it gets better

I work for Raytheon. It looks like its been scrubbed from our internal website. We use to have a dedicated page for it and you could also get a great 12% employee discount on park tickets through the sponsorship. Saved me hundreds, if not a thousand or more, over the years!

So good bye SOAT and my corporate discount

No we have to wait for it to rot away

I was going to make a funeral pyre joke, but there was no way to do so without it sounding like a threat.

 

[TeriofTerror]

I guessed i just NAILED the coffin

Well, that makes you sound like a total perv.

yoohoo big summer blowout, September's coming everything must close

This stinks. I loved this attraction. Kiddo was finally tall enough to go on it during our next trip.

When one door closes, another one closes.

Probably like the progress you saw at DHS when they closed Backlot Tour almost two years ago and no progress
