With that in mind, I could live with a new take on Cranium Command ft. the Emotions, the swings from DCA, and the meet and greets moved into here. That seems easy enough, uses a hot IP, and fits the desire to have family friendly things to do in the area.

It'd be fairly easy to do given Cranium Command currently sits there with the lights on, looking in surprisingly good state. Give it a bit of a tech update and you're mostly done.

Inside out is one of those IP's that wouldn't be all that offensive to Epcot IMO. A bit like how Up! worked really well for a rebrand of the bird show over at AK, without coming across as shovelling and old IP out to draw the crowds.


As for bodywars, theres no reason that can't return to the same type of sim ride, with a new theme. They'd obviously need new simulators given the old ones were taken out but thats a relatively minor thing.

When was the last time you were in Cranium Command?

Cranium Command isn't coming back. What is there now in its current state is impossible to use without spending the same amount of money that they would spend if they were to do something brand new. And you know perfectly well that if WDW had to choose to either:
  1. spend that money to re-create an IP-less ride that they closed down once already (Cranium Command), or
  2. to create a new attraction featuring an established cinematic IP;
they'd chose the latter every time. [Cf. TGMM]

Cranium Command is dead.

And if it wasn't, I'm sure wed all have pitchforks saying how it needs to be removed and is too dated. It wasn't that long ago uoe had horrible reviews and was often listed as "great place for a nap with a/c" I'm sure in a few years everyone will want it back. BTW I still loved it, although id love to have removed ellen and gone back to the original. IF a lot of you get your wish with the speedway, I'm sure in 10 years everyone will wax poetically about how amazing it was and it needs to return (I personally hope this first driving adventure for little kids is never removed, although electric I wouldn't mind)

Very sad, but true. I only got to experience CC once, but I was 2 at the time and don’t remember anything. :(

Aside from missing everything that made it work, hydraulics that are shot, no media....

Cranium Command today is like the shell of a car without the engine. Or the dashboard. Or wheels.

If it keeps them out of Imagination, I say it's best ok if the suits insist on putting it somewhere in Epcot.

No reason Inside Out can't fit the Epcot theme. It's inspiration was from Cranium Command, after all. And that was in Wonders of Life. I'd rather have a dark ride featuring them there than taking over Figment. Unfortunately, IP is here for the time being so I'm trying to embrace what I think *could* fit (but they can't even do small insertions of characters correctly, IMO, so I'm still a bit wary but I'm trying to find a middle ground, lol). Considering we keep hearing 'no plans on Figment' I'm going to take a leap and guess that he's not being replaced right now so if we do get anything Inside Out I'd have to imagine ;) it goes into WOL. But that's a lot of wishful thinking. We know they often make the wrong choice :greedy:

FYI, Disney Parks Blog article today talking about the new Food and Wine entertainment offerings did reference that Junior Chef Kitchen would be in the Festival Center.

Correct. It’s going to be just like years past minus last year because of repairs. I’ll take some pictures on the first day of the food and wine festival. Folks - It’s a festival pavilion.
