If I knew that cough was going around it could have saved me some time with my last post ;-)

<<Dave & Buster's>>
OK vbdad... I put up with a lot from you, but what the heck do you have against Dave & Busters?
;-)
<<I agree TDLFAN. I love the edutainment features Disney used to do (Impressions de France, Oh Canada etc. and still can - Seasons of the Vine, Golden Dreams, the new China Film). Sadly though I think we are in the minority as people ask - where's Test Track?>>
ABSOLUTELY!!!
The Epcot Showcase films are wonderful. We always do them all. The best of the bunch (in my opinion) is Impressions De France - that is every bit as much a must do as Spaceship Earth.
<<Star Tours did a far superior job 20 years earlier.>>
Clearly you've never gone on Mission Space. Or you were zoned on Ambien when you did. Star Tours is a rather pedestrian simulator with a killer queue. Mission Space, whether you happen to like it or not, is an absolutely unique one-of-a-kind experience!
<<I did and the first word out of my mouth at the end of the ride was "awesome">>
The other three in my cabin CHEERED! Mission Space is the absolute best Theme Park attraction ever created. Period.
<<<<Nothing in that park is a clone except for Soarin'.>>
Uhm ... Honey, I Shrunk the Audience? Innoventions? Even almost all of Nemo is in the subs, isn't it?>>
All copies... WDW was first.

"Build it and they will come" does work with lots of people. |

Sat 6/16/2007 4:59p | <The days of edutainment (a ridiculous term that many of the imagineers that worked on the orginal project hate) are long gone. I'm glad. Being preached to on rides like Universe of Energy was plain awful. 42 minutes of pain. You might not like Ellen's Energy Adventure but is does manage to be a better entertainment experience whilst maintain a show script that shows the problems we face today.>
Yeah, maybe there's a nice middle ground they could find. I'll agree that the original 'Universe of Energy' post-dinosaurs part of the show became a bit lenghty. But the Ellen DeGeneres one is already dated -- and not all that entertaining.
And if I had to choose, I'd take the 'edutainment' feel too.
The Imagineers 'hate' the 'edutainment' term? Wow, what's next? Hatred for 'berm' and 'visual intrusions'? Oh yeah, they tossed those our [see: Disney's California Adventure]. |

Sat 6/16/2007 5:15p | I guess the Universe of Energy as opposed to Ellen's is all a matter of taste. I have always, from day one, said that the original UoE was nothing more than one gigantic advertisement for Exxon. They were telling us that Exxon was almost god like in it's concern for the environment and that we were so lucky that they happened along to save us from ourselves. All this about the time of the Valdez incident.
Ellen's unique brand of humor coupled with Bill Nye and the rest of the cast, made for a funny, entertaining attraction. Had UoE never changed I would never had set foot in it again. As it is now, it is a must do every trip. |

Sat 6/16/2007 7:40p | I love how leemac says only soarin is a clone. In addition to HISTA, Innoventions, and recycled footage from Nemo. SSE's post show, Project Tomorrow, is being cloned at Disneyland. Hooray for Individuality!
Who are you trying to BS leemac?
What's the point of visiting WDW when you can see the exact same thing at Disneyland (or vice versa)? Is the primary target market local Ap's now? |

It seems to me that the Exxon Valdez even appeared in the original movie, in Puget Sound. Perhaps that's the gasoline fumes talking. |
