    I'm in that odd number.

    <<<but cast members who see it should not post anything about the experiance seeing that its not ready for the public yet. >>>

    Which is why I haven't posted anything and I'm assuming that's why others havent either. I didn't even report to my mom how it was so your not getting any details from this cm just yet. Sorry folks! =)

    The hour long test only involved a few hundred CM's, because they were purposefully leaving many seats empty and not doing back to back shows.

    There were non-CM's there, as the small children in attendance proved. It was also easy to get your non-CM friends in by using other CM's ID cards. They really do need to get better at that security angle on stuff like this, as it was fairly common knowledge that non-CM people were using CM ID cards to get in.

    What's there to say .. other than they were testing the motion-based floor. (Don't know yet if they can incorporate this "HISTA" feature.) They are working out other effects .. and hope to have the show up within a few weeks. (?)

    I think that's basically all anyone wants to know anyway.

    1. I want movement movement movement. Just go for it! I want to rock along to the songs! Remember, what they do at EMP in Seattle.

    2. I want Star Tours like movement in the flying sequence. And when we crash land, let's crash land! Shake it up!

    3. Smoke, wind, "rat" effects Yah, go for it.

    4. Water spray - can't wait for MJ to sweat on us. Together with smell-o-vision. Ok, just kidding.
    But seriously, when we crash, we can get water spray, wind, "rat", shaking.

    This will be awesome!

    Here's what I have to say over a silly old film that dates back 24 years.

    * It's coming back. Between a few days to a few weeks

    * It's a 3D film with either all or just some of the old effects.

    * The motion-base floor is a consideration.

    * Guests will see it in due time.

    Anything else?

    Unless they are building Western River Expedition .. I don't understand on the ridiculous secrecy!

    Please don't bring back Captain EO, I watched it on Youtube and no amount of modernizing could make this an attraction worth seeing! And please spend billions upon billions adding new wonderful experiences to DL and DCA, and add a third park where that parking lot you built is. Also lower all the prices on hotels and parks and food so I can afford to come more often. I think that's all for now.

    I completely agree. I've never been fond of clowns, and the spooky clowns in this movie have always really freaked me out!

    >Please don't bring back Captain EO, I watched it on Youtube...<

    No amount of watching EO on Youtube can come close to the real thing. The effects, the 3D, the MUCH better looking screen than Youtube could ever offer, and greatest of all the incredible sound system in the Magic Eye Theater - all of these things combine to make EO a truly unique experience.

    That certainly explains a lot.
