Second, I've always liked EO, but even so I was disappointed the first time I saw it on Youtube. It's missing a LOT, mainly the big beefy sound that really makes the music rock. I can't wait to see it in person, back in the theater setting that made it famous. And poor storyline and hokey script? It's a music video on steroids, not Moby Dick. The script works just fine.

Originally Posted By Ohana well Curious, your observations may be valid, but to be fair, not much on youtube is impressive. i did that once to watch america sings since i missed it, but it was bad, so i did the hard work and dug out my old vhs home movie to enjoy it better. EO is an attraction, not a bigger decision than being entertained for 20 minutes, give it a shot when it opens. Many are still looking forward to it, regardless if its "dated" or not.

Originally Posted By believe >>>you honestly believe that all the effects make up for a poor storyline and hokey script?<<< Yes. Pirates 2 and 3 sucked, but they were big hits.
Originally Posted By capteoyes First off, I, and many others, love the new Pirates. And the new Small World with Disney characters - love it! I look forward to riding Small World all over again! Capt Eo will have a short run. It will get busy tho.
Originally Posted By believe Since most agree that EO storyline was hokey and cheesy, Disney needs to make this attraction more effects driven rather than story driven. Make it an ATTRACTION, rather than a just a MJ 3D movie. You want people to go see it not because MJ is in it, but because it's a great attraction. You want this to be experienced only at DL (since everyone can see it on youtube). Don't have just the same effects like before, you've got newer and better effects to choose from now. Everyone has a "4D" theatre now. ONLY Disney has the motion effect. They need to utilize it as much as possible. GO FOR IT. Here's a suggestion for WDI for the finalie. When MJ sings Another Part of Me, "... waiting for you.. da da da da da da ... You're just another part of me..." Do a drop sequence syncronized for each "da". The first five do a half inch drop, then the last do a full inch drop. It'll leave audiences something good to remember. Of course, I don't know the capabilities of the simulator, so I don't even know if it's possible. You can make this TOT and Star Tours like. Potential is enormous.
