My daughter was 15 when she saw it back then so I kind of felt like we were seeing it for her. On Friday evening the line was way into Tomorrowland.
Originally Posted By onlyme Well, my wife and I saw it Sat. afternoon. Got my glasses and was seated within 5 minutes. I won't go into any details, but the spandex, hair-dos and extremely corny dance moves are worth watching. I did my part and saw it, but that'll be it.

Originally Posted By Terminus I've seen it three times with different people... All on weeknights. Got in the next showing each time, and the theater has never been full for my three times. So for me... No line, really.

Originally Posted By Bellella I went to D-land on the 12th. I saw EO twice. It was so AWESOME to see it again. I'd forgotten how cool the 3D effects are. The moving floor parts added a nice touch. Oh, did I mention that both times I was there, the theater was completely stuffed? Everyone cheered at the beginning, when Michael Jackson makes his first entrance, when he started to sing, and at the very end. There was cheers and laughter all the way through. If all the crowds are going to be like the ones I saw, EO will be around a long time, as it should be.

Originally Posted By Sparrow I saw it a couple weeks ago on a Saturday and the theater was full. When we got out the line stretched to the Star Trader. So I don't think she's a liar.
Originally Posted By KittyPrincess1206 I saw it on 3/9/10 No line, the theater wasn't totally full, but it WAS a Tuesday, after all... I had fun!
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL >>>When we got out the line stretched to the Star Trader. <<< Now, unless they have moved The Star Trader, that store is right next door to the theater....so your point is???? Two theaters worth of line on a Saturday isn't such a much. It's great that some peeps are enjoying it but for me it was a joke in the 80's and is worse off today with fewer effects, a non digital transfer and beyond dated. There really is a reason it was retired in the first place.

Yes, the shop is right next door (across an the way to be exact), but there is a switchback in front of the Magic Eye Theater, as well as a LOT of room down the ramp and around the corner. For the line to stretch across the exit way to the Star Traders means that the theater was running full. I have been to this attraction both on the weekends and on weekdays. So far I haven't found it deserted, but seldom really busy. It is definitely busier than when HISTA was running. Will it last? I DON'T KNOW. And neither does anyone else here!

That seems like a logical move, but I don't think any of us actually believe that would be the case.
