Could this be because of the much rumored movie tie in? It's only been a rumor since 2004 that Disney has had a Jungle Cruise movie (as well as a Swiss Family remake) in the works...Imaginationeer said:
More than likely "Soarin' Over the World" from Paris.Imaginationeer said:
Why not?! He's everywhere else! You know, I liked the movie and all... but does the word overkill mean anything to Disney? Apparently the plan is to drive this franchise into the ground. At the point where EVERYONE hates it... that's when they'll stop. Maybe.Imaginationeer said:

Imaginationeer, I'm curious to know the source of your information...:wave:

I can't image Epcot trying to function without 4 pavilions.
All at once you'd be down: Energy, Wonders, Imagination, and Mexico. Then in September they'd also not have Soarin' or Illuminations.
Who the heck would go?

If i reveal my sources, there could be trouble, but I will tell you that I only post when there is something with strong evidence or source.
On another note, Incredibles will take over the two ABC soundstages because they are simply waiting for the 5 year contract with Drew Carrey to end to begin work there.

I'm of the "put up or shut up" mantra.
Have the "cohones" (sp?) to be right or wrong. Teases just make people doubt your info.
You don't have to name your sources, but if you know a wall is going to be painted blue, say it. Not "you'll never guess what color the wall will be, it will be great".

Well if these are true note that nothing is said about WOL. WOL is stilll there and maybe just because they will need it's capacity for this time frame. The loss of Mexico will not effect much, neither will the Imagination pavillion, but Soarin will be the big hit. The dates only show Soarin doown from 09/07 - 10/07, so it may only be a week or two if they are just adding the new film. Illumination is listed to be down for only a few days.
Most of the shut downs are during September which has got to be the absolute slowest time of the year for WDW, so this may be viable.
So we will see. This could be a increadible overhaul for Epcot.

Sounds like a lot of work in a short amount of time. I can't remember a time when Disney worked on so many attractions in such a short amount of time. Correct me if I am wrong. I am with mousemerf on this one. Seriously who would spend thousands of dollars to go to disney when so many rides are being worked on. Sounds lofty to me.

Unless for a few days they only run 1 theatre on Soarin, and work on the other, then switch it. I know this would HUGELY drop capicity, but make it Fastpass only or Not use Fastpass, and it would work. Illuminations down would only effect the nightime crowds. Even with that, I think WoL would have to open with both Imaganation and Ellen closed.

I would agree with you normally, but have you seen the list of how many E-tickets are going to be closed at Disneyland at the end of this year? It's not even worth visiting with as many things being closed as they'll have. However if it makes everything that much better then I'm for it.
Seeing that Disney is closing almost this many major attractions in Disneyland and we have Epcot's 25th coming up, it wouldn't surprise me and I'd be willing to lose all of those for the time being so that Epcot could have an amazing 25th.
If your sources are correct, we'd celebrate the 25th with a new Universe of Energy, a new or slightly updated Mexico ride (anything is better than what it is right now), possibly the rumored soarin over the world update for Soarin, hopefully a return to the past for Imagination, and a new version of illuminations.
That would so far exceed my expectations that I've had for Epcot's 25th that I would be doing backflips. I think I'd make a special trip down to Disney and only visit Epcot for three days straight if that were true. I sure hope you're sources are correct or I'm going to be sending Vinny down there to break some legs.

Yeah, I have to agree, too. That kind of posting is designed to get people to beg for more info. So, what's the point? To boost an ego. I'm sure that's not your intent, jedimaster1227, but it comes across that way. No offense meant :wave:KevinPage said:At the risk of coming off as combative - enough with the secrecy.

By the way, the color on that wall better really be great. :lookaroun

Well, it isn't like I haven't said anything about it in the past. In fact, I revealed a majority of the project on my website last week. The latest information can't be revealed yet, but many people can figure it out from my report on the site. So, I am not really teasing, just keeping the turmoil out of this forum (no more arguments over the Imagination rehab subject :lookaroun).
Sorry if it came off like I was doing that...

Not even Mickey's great imagination can battle the evil forces of Stitch...
I liked everything on the list but the change to Fantasmic.

Sounds like a busy 2007!!! I especially can't wait to see the Soarin' Over the World video. It would tie in nicely with World Showcase.

Not directly, but supposedly, sources have passed it down to our (WDWMagic) sources.LudwigVonDrake said:Has this info been released or announced?
Not saying I don't believe it, but I'll have my reservations about it till they are official.
