When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
As in re-opening - in the same location? Had the simulators been moved, or just shuttered?

There was a recent picture showing everythin still in place.

It should be expanded and given its own permanent spot. It's the perfect fit for Epcot, combining actual learning with much needed thrills. The capacity is shocking though.
And as much as I'm not a fan of IPs in Epcot for just the sake of having them, this attraction, if expanded could easily incorporate Big Hero 6 characters as the instructors in the demo videos.

Yeah, from the looks of it nothing was ever taken out of the area. At some points the lights were even on, supposedly for testing.

Being able to walk through that entire side of Innoventions again would be sick.

As I said the other day, World of Color + SoaT is as good as anything that has ever been in this building.
Add something fun in the house (or even a m&g), and maybe renew / fix up the little micro exhibition, and you've got a great indoor space!

It would compensate for the closing of Energy, much like Horizons helped when World of Motion and Energy were down in the 90s.
It was my favourite ride in Future World, and I would love to be able to do it again next month.

I hope it reopens too. I only did it once, but I absolutely loved it.

Tests have been confirmed by cast members but the ride will not open right away maybe after Ellen closes to give a ride back that we love!

Very exciting and interesting... Maybe if this ride continues to be popular it can show the execs that the Innoventions buildings have lots of potential.

I was amazed when I was in the zombified Innoventions this past June to see that the ride was completely intact and fully visible. One would think if the buildings are coming down (still not so sure if that's really happening) that the rest of the space would be gutted in preparation.

I'm all for having something else to do in Epcot. This ride really ate the crowds. And by eat the crowds, I mean have an extremely long line due to poor capacity. More arms would be a huge welcome.
Also, I still have the cards from the first year this ride opened. Should they still work or did they change them at some point?
