| Twenty-three years ago, at the height of his phenomenal entertainment career, Michael Jackson joined forces with Disney to create “Captain EO,” a groundbreaking 17-minute 3D film experience. We are excited to confirm that the classic musical spectacular that thrilled Disneyland park guests from 1986 – 1997, will return for an exclusive, limited engagement at Disneyland park beginning in February 2010!  The attraction’s return to Tomorrowland will provide new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see “The King of Pop” in a rare performance created for the big-screen, just one more time. “Honey I Shrunk The Audience” will be closing sometime in the next few weeks to make way for the Captain’s return. Check back here for more details on “Captain EO.” |
What do you guys think about this? I say anything is better than the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" show. I wonder if they will bring it back at Epcot as well?

Well I'll be damned! I know of more than a few people who would be happy about this. It's been so long since I've seen it, it'll be refreshing to go back and see it again. :D

I would be very interested to see this.
I know very little about it.
Hope it returns to WDW as well so I might get a chance.

I wonder if they'll convert it to use the shutter glasses or umm what was it scorsss said...circular polarized glasses. I think they might.
It'll be neat to see it restored. Although I kind of liked "honey".
I wonder what they'll do with the hydraulics, rat tails, squirt guns and air blowers the theater supposedly has! :D
I still say those are real rats.

HISTA was good in the 90's, but is reallly beginning to show its age. Hopefully at Epcot they'll soon refurb the entire Imagination pavilion (and return the Dreamfinder while they're at it... I can dream :() I do wish they would return Captain EO at Epcot as well (if only so I could see it in person).

Not much of an update, but new (kind of?) posters have been put up in the Queue line for HISTA where the Imagination Institute Inventors of the Year award winner posters used to be. Credit for the photo goes to darklotus69 from twitter.

Woohoo, it looks like EO will be making his way to WDW soon. Now if we can get Dreamfinder back with Figgy the Imagination Institute will be complete!

Is the Imagination Institute theme carried over in DLR? I thought that Doug meant these had been spotted in the queue for HISTA at EPCOT. My mistake, if they were at DLR, either way it looks great!
Jessiestudio - January 30, 2010 11:28 PM (GMT)
ya the II was present, not very well, but present overat DLR, but who knows you could be right maybe they were at WDW.

They guy that took that pic said that the posters were covered up with plastic shortly after he took the picture. So they might have been there, and just not visible.

Sorry for the confusion, but these posters were spotted at DL only. WDW has not announced a return for Captain EO as of yet. (Although I wouldn't mind if they did!)
