Can't wait!

So glad they're letting one of the original lands die a slow death. They'd save a lot of trouble if they'd just get rid of the Magic Eye Theater. If they can't have the sense to keep something consistently amazing running inside, then they should just lose the theater completely. Oh, everytime they preview a new trailer inside they have to put in new effects? Like that really helps.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I'm sure the existing effects can be programed to work with whatever they are showing inside. Probably just a little tweeking needed when switching out shows. I guarantee you this is a temporary placeholder between the horribly dated EO and whatever they plan to do with Tomorrowland long term. I think it's a good compromise or placeholder.
Originally Posted By Bellella No here's a good compromise: keeping Captain EO indefinitely until they really decide to replace it with something better. I'm sick of their website continually teasing, saying that Captain EO is an attraction, giving out tentative reopening dates. We have the internet, TV and movie theaters for movie previews. And I don't go to D-land to see a dumb 10-plus minute movie preview.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros ^^It's been a good compromise because the previews so far have fit the vaguely sci-fi/futuristic vibe of Tomorrowland. What happens when they still don't have a proper replacement ready and the next upcoming film is another Maleficent or Oz The Great And Powerful?

At least the movie previews offer something that's new and fresh, even if it's fleeting
