Were there others? >>i was talking to a cast member who ran it a little while age and he said there was only one copy!!!<< Probably only one copy in the projection room. Which is dumb, but I could see it. I'd think the only thing preventing a successful transfer would be the recreation of the beloved floating Whoopee head. It would take additional post production to adapt that to video, and obviously we can't possibly do that. It would cost money. ;-)

It would make some sense to show it in the Cathay Circle theatre along with its other exhibits (coming attractions), but I haven't heard any plans for them to do that and I doubt they will.

Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara Before they edited the hell out of it, it was quite good. You originally saw the Chinese railroad workers get blown up on the side of the mountain, and I believe there were bare-breasted Native American women in there at one point. The film was made by Agnieszka Holland. See her WikiPedia page here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnieszka_Holland" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A..._Holland</a> So, they hired an extremely talented woman to make it, and I find it to be very fine, even in its current form. The Golden Dreams audio track from the finale was available only on the California Adventure CD of the park's music available when the park first opened. From what I understand, licensing issues have prevented it from being included on any other CDs. It will be a shame to see it go. Like Seasons of the Vine, it was a cool and pleasant refuge for adults. No doubt the Little Mermaid ride will knock our socks off, but there really should be room somewhere in the park for this marvelous little film.

Originally Posted By Hista98 so i heard that golden screams won't be returning this year due to little mermaid construction. so it looks like Golden Dreams is for sure in its final weeks. I wonder if they will announce it or just let it go quietly like inner space. I hope they announce it, cause i would like to go see the last show

Originally Posted By liveforvacations I never did see Golden Dreams and I really regret that now. I really hope it doesn't close before I get the chance! I did see Golden Screams and I must agree with it was terrible! I think that the promotion of Golden Dreams just didn't appeal to people, especially children! Golden Screams on the other hand was made to sound like it would be really good but was really, really bad!
