<<You have already been quoted over on WDWmagic.>>

I'm regularly quoted in much more important places.

But I'm glad someone over there is paying attention!

And, Trippy, you can't rely upon wikipedia for accurate info.

I don't know if I agree with this part, Trippy -

>At the time, Journey Into Imagination was the most expensive ride in Epcot to keep running, despite the fact that it got more visitors in a day than Epcot's flagship ride Spaceship Earth. The guests made it all worthwhile for Disney to keep it running, but Disney still wasn't satisfied with it. It was the most technologically advanced dark ride in history.<

It most definitely didn't have more ridership than SE, And towards the end of its first incarnation was virtually a walk-on at any time of day. Nor was it any more technologically advanced than Horizons or World of Motion, or for that matter Pirates or the HM. I don't know what its operating costs were, but I can't see that they'd be any more than any of the other big AA rides.

Wikipedia strikes again!

Yeah, that 'Journey Into Imagination' piece seems weird -- and inaccurate.

As I recall, compared with the likes of 'Horizons' and 'World of Motion' -- 'Imagination' had just a smattering of Animatronic figures.

Mostly of Dreamfinder and Figment. The opening carousel scene had, what 3 identical sets.

So, perhaps a dozen AA figures?

Yeah, Jim, there were far fewer AA's in Imagination.

But still more than a dozen. There were loads of Figments ... I'd say the accurate figure would have been closer to 2-3 dozen, but I'd have to check.

Nothing like WoM or Horizons though.

Wiki-whosit?

Yeah, that lovely source that anyone can post "information" to...

I'd not lean too heavily on it.

I do know that Bruce Broughton has composed the film score to the new Canada film (He told me so himself). He didn't mention if the old song was in or not though.

Among other things for Disney theme parks, Bruce wrote the terrific score for 'Seasons of the Vine.'
