When will Epcot get Capt EO back?

[mjmyers10]

I saw yesterday that Captain EO is coming back to DL in February. Any shot WDW will revive the attraction?

Read the other threads about the reasons EO is going in DL and why WDW may or may not take it :wave:

Was talking to a CM when I was at WDW a couple weeks ago. According to her, WDW's version of Captain EO is damaged and cannot be repaired and they don't have the equipment to duplicate the Disneyland version of it, therefore Epcot will not be getting Captain EO.

According to DisneyParksBlog Captain EO is returning to Disneyland for a limited engagement only.

DL's main guest flow comes from locals. Management needs to keep them coming back by changing things every now and then. This is one main reason EO is back for a limited time.

That sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

For the love of God, please never bring it back to EPCOT. HISTA is bad enough

When they pay the Somalian Pirates the ransom of 10 annual passes and a DVC membership for the Bay Lake Towers.

Damaged? No. Turned off. Yes. Everything for Captain EO is still in the theater (or at least almost everything), it's just been turned off for a really LONG time. Some of it probably wouldn't work anymore seeing as how it hasn't been touched in over a decade. We had techs in there examining the theater a few months back, seeing if it would be feasible to bring EO back. Personally, I hope they do. HISTA is old hack.

What she told me was that the film itself was damaged, not the equipment. :shrug: I'm just repeating what I was told. I know CM scuttlebutt isn't always true. I'm just saying what I was told.

WDI keeps masters of all films. There would be no issue getting a print for Epcot if TDO wants it back.

No kidding, as if a second copy of the film print going into Disneyland couldn't be made. Or forget film altogether and go digital.

That would be fine with me.
