Yea, I remember it being packed in like 1997. But yea it got dated and MS opened, it just became a backburner/failed concept.
pretty darn funny:ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:It was my fault. I said something about it not looking good in a dress one day and that was it It has come out a few times but I have not been able to convince it that it was just the dress it was wearing.

I enjoyed WoL. And, speaking for myself, I kind of like having a few attractions with no lines. After having to stand in line and get fastpasses, it's kind of nice having a few attractions here and there (like El Rio and WoL) that are unpopular enough that those who DO enjoy them can just walk right on in and relax and see the show.
But if they're gonna close it permanately, then I don't see why they don't either refurbish it, or put a new attraction in. I don't understand the logic that says you should close an attraction just because not enough people visit it, yet leave an empty, closed attraction just sitting there taking up space.

I respect your opinion... but you are forgetting that it costs a lot of money to keep WoL open. When no one visits or spends money there, then there is a problem. When there are a total of 30 people or so (as has been the case the last 3 times i was there), then Disney has no reason to pay the operating costs.
You may want to let the science world know this, because the Brontosaurus is now known as the Apatosaurus in just about any modern text.

where we often fault is that we look at Disney's moves through the eyes of stakeholders... not business people
Epcot lives on the sponsorship of its attractions. Of the parks, Epcot is one of the most costly to actually keep running. The large pavillions all have sponsors to help defer costs. Without a sponsor, WoL had to close or risk not being able to keep up with the mainenance that would be necessary for such a place to keep running. If Disney can secure a new sponsor, you will see WoL re-open, probably with some new concepts to reflect the new representation.
One more thing, does The Seas With Nemo & Friends currently have a sponsor? I know United Technologies pulled out years ago, and the pavilion doesn't display any obvious sponsor as far as I am aware. Can anyone fill me in?
