Not that big of a space for a ride.

Originally Posted By Ohana of course its all a matter of opinion, but i think the songs from EO are very memorable
Originally Posted By utahjosh I LOVE the songs from EO. I remember leaving the theater as a child (only saw it maybe 3 times ever) dancing to the powerful bass line. I'll be seeing EO a week from today. Will be nice to see it on the big screen. I've had it on my home computer for years.

Originally Posted By capteoyes Friday report: Got there at 5P, with 4 minutes left to show start, walked in (full theater). Checked back at night after 9P, 2-3 show wait. Line was huge, extended cue full. I predict this show will be big when the Spring Break/Summer crowds hit. This is simply one of the slowest weeks of the year (usually indicated by 10-7P hours). Hooter doesn't fart. Never thought he did. He is just blowing his trunk. I will say those characters, compared to the detail in the Star Wars movies, are pretty crappy, theme park style costumes. Never cared at all for the dull characters created for Eo. Thumping still going at Eo. Also, it feels like the may have reduced the theater movement in the battle scene (or computer syncing floor just aint working right) I am officially done with Eo, as my passport ended on Friday and I will not be going back to Disneyland until I feel the urger to go. On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised with Dream home at Innoventions. And I love the Steve Martin movie being in the preshow area of Lincoln (though why stop it every 5 minutes? Just let it run straight through without stopping!) Casey's Train, 2 adults, still a great, underrated ride. Also, got a Monte Cristo Sandwich! OMG! Love that! And the garlic fries! I wonder if u can get a Monte Cristo Sandwich to go, and eat in park somewhere else?
Originally Posted By DlandDug I was back on Saturday and yes, the floor does, indeed, incessantly pound all through the dance number. I found it distracting. I probably missed it the first time as I was seated on the extreme right aisle. Crowds were respectable last night, despite the rain. The show was putting everyone in a happy mood. And the biggest crowd reaction came near the start of the big number, when Captain EO does a short moonwalk followed by a full signature stance at center stage.

CONTINUITY!!!<< Those two transforming guys were Poppin Taco and Poppin Pete, two notable dancers of the era. Jackson wanted them to perform as the "jukeboxes," the two big robots that march next to him through the latter half of the number. But he also wanted to give them a "moment" in which the audience could see their faces (and major 80s hair!). So they are cast just for the moment when the pillar robots emerge, then are in the "jukeboxes" in the very next shot. Hence, a continuity gaffe.

Originally Posted By Manfried When you say the floor thumps, what is it you folks mean? Is it that shaking floor that was used in Honey, I Shrunk the Audience? That could be good, but could be overused I guess.
Originally Posted By danyoung The polite answer is yes, the shaking floor from HISTA. Geez, dean, can't people ask a question without getting their head ripped off?
