Sweet.

Incredibles constuction begins summer 07

I'm scared. Not CoP.

:dazzle:

 

[autumndawn1006]

Do you know if they are planning general refurbishments like audio upgrades or major reworks?

Adding the stuff from Disneyland maybe?

Universe of Energy 1/07-10/07

update for the 25th

El Rio Del Tiempo 1/07-10/07

Three Cabiero'd or digital projection updates for the old 70's reels.

Soarin' 9/07-10/07

Routine fixing I guess.. Or new film..

Journey into Imagination 10/06-10/07

Crapping me pants again...

Sounds Dangerous closes 6/07 Drew Carey Contract Expiration

Thank you sweet Jebus!

Incredibles constuction begins summer 07

Same as the above as long as it doesn't take over CoP. There's a nice little spot in the Skyway or Galaxy Palace theater. Or in Sounds Dangerous.

These are not definite but some are extremely likely

Stitch added to Fantasmic doesn't surprise me. Can they replace the lame Pocahontas scene with Pirates, Peter Pan or 20K while there at it? I'm really hoping some of these are accurate you know, I've been waiting for confirmation whether or not something would develop on JII and I want to see things.

 

[erasure fan1]

This all sounds great to me. Here is to hoping.

 

[yoyoflamingo]

The Stitch is Fantasmic doesn't surprise me either, as I think it might blend in nicely. Use "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" or the Main title Song, and have some nice tropical luau setting. A lot of fun, and probably better than Pocahontas.

 

[Chape19714]

Pocahontas is great in Fantasmic and hope it isn't taken out, as it's a great scene that uses the technology of the mountain stage to it's fullest.

Everything Else doesn't suprise me.

Jungle Cruise Refurbishment 1/07-5/07

Long overdue

Universe of Energy 1/07-10/07

Not so sure... :lookaroun

El Rio Del Tiempo 1/07-10/07

Possibly...

Soarin' 9/07-10/07

Why? (It doesn't take a month to fix some tears in the far side of the screen).

Journey into Imagination 10/06-10/07

I'm keeping my mouth shut on this one because if I said what I had to say, some members would probably have a heart attack when they heard the news... :animwink:

Illuminations 9/07-10/07(few days)

What for?

Sounds Dangerous closes 6/07 Drew Carey Contract Expiration

Possibly to move Millionare to that theater(if the CMs succeeded).

Incredibles constuction begins summer 07

Really? :veryconfu Thats a new one...


Thanks for the update! :wave:

El Rio Del Tiempo 1/07-10/07

You know, the older this attractiuon looks, the more endearing. I love the scenes from 1981(ish)

Journey into Imagination 10/06-10/07

A whole year!!...oh please, please, please let the Imagination Whatever fade into history. Welcome back Dreamfinder!:sohappy:

Oh, Sounds Dangerous was a great place for hangover recovery...I'll miss it

 

[FigmentJedi]

Channing vs Lex Luthor
Luthor: Let me hear you say it just once.
Channing: Imagination must be captured and controlled
Luthor: No, No, No, the other thing.
Channing: (poster of Channing with Figment, passing him off as his creation)
Luthor: WRONG!

 

[nyy102]

I would be satisfied with even one or two of these happening. The tops for me is JII, UoE, and Rio del Tiempo, all of which I believe should be part of a lengthy and complete rehab, and update where needed, for Epcot. As for the other things, dropping Sounds Dangerous is long overdue, and introducing something Incredibles-related sounds nice, but I am not really for changing Fantasmic to include something as recent as Stitch, but I guess they can't botch it like I heard they did to SGE.

Tahu, thats priceless!

ohhh come on, tell us some things about it pretty please with a cherry on top. I promise if anyone has a heart attack I will take full responsibility for it.

 

[monorailguy01]

Hold on a sec. Are these dates like Jan 07 thru oct. 07? or like the Jan 1st to the 10th?

Jungle Cruise Refurbishment 1/07-5/07

this is so long overdue that it almost falls into the catagory of why?

Universe of Energy 1/07-10/07

Here we go again, u think they will get rid of Ellen?

El Rio Del Tiempo 1/07-10/07

this looks like a bad version of Small World so anything they do would only improve it

Soarin' 9/07-10/07

This would have to be for a new film, they were rumored to be working on a Florida version as early as 2003

Journey into Imagination 10/06-10/07

:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: do I dare Dream?!?:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Illuminations 9/07-10/07(few days)

I wish they would leave this alone except for maybe a few updates/upgrades... this has always been my favorite

Sounds Dangerous closes 6/07 Drew Carey Contract Expiration

perhaps equally happy about this leaving as dream..... coming back to JI

Incredibles constuction begins summer 07

I just hope they do something great with this or it will end up being a disaster... like the last 2 overhauls of JI

These are not definite but some are extremely likely

I was never impressed with this show so I could care less if they change it

 

[DisneyRoxMySox]

I like Ellen..

The new film for Soarin' will most likely be Soarin' over the World.

 

[Scar Junior]

ohhh come on, tell us some things about it pretty please with a cherry on top. I promise if anyone has a heart attack I will take full responsibility for it.

Haha! I was just waiting to see how long it would take for a reaction like this!

 

[wickedfan07]

I'm happy to see some updates in Epcot, especially since they all seem to be ending in time for the 25th anniversary. Part of me is disappointed though: I might be going to WDW next summer (as a graduation present) and those rides will be closed. But if they're doing some cool things there, I'm all for going back the following summer to check it out!

I'm hoping the downtime for IllumiNations doesn't equal the closure of Reflections of Earth in favor of some form of IllumiNations 25 (even though there's been no rumor of this). RoE is my favorite show at Disney...period, and I hope they find no reasons to change it before 2009 and Sky Dance.

As someone mentioned before, maybe they will put The Incredicles attraction where Sounds Dangerous is. I hope it doesn't find its way into Epcot or Tomorrowland.

I'm kind of disappointed that there's no mention of Wonders of Life. Here's to hoping for a surprise.

 

[macsmom]

May I ask what Sky Dance is, please? Thanks.

 

[Skippy]

May I ask what Sky Dance is, please? Thanks.

It's a rumored name for the next Illuminations.

 

[wickedfan07]

May I ask what Sky Dance is, please? Thanks.

Sky Dance is supposed to be the working title of a new fireworks show currently in development. It is rumored to replace Reflections of Earth in Epcot sometime around 2009. Its not officially confirmed to my knowledge.
