Originally Posted By Any Huis OK, I'll weigh in on this! The new ride looks great, but our family LOVED the old, original ride. Like one previous poster, we found ourselves humming "the Mexico song" weeks after our Epcot visit. El Rio was also a wonderful, fun ride for small children, something that Epcot doesn't have much of. The biggest problem is NOT that they updated this attraction, but that they did so BEFORE adding badly-needed rides to the other national pavilions!! What about Germany, Morocco, UK, Italy, and Japan? Why not INSTEAD use this "Gran Fiesta Tour" technology in Morocco, using Aladdin & Jasmine giving a tour of that nation -- instead of the 3 Caballeros? Or they could use Pinocchio & Jimminy Cricket, giving us a similar tour of Italy. So thus I must respectfully disagree with another previous poster's desire to see that Canada movie updated! At least that outdated Canadian movie is BETTER than the nonexistant attractions in Germany, Morocco, UK, Italy, and Japan!! Please Disney: Before you upgrade existing Epcot attractions, finish up the pavallions that have NO attractions!

Originally Posted By Captain Jon I thought Gran Fiesta did a good job of not reinventing the wheel as it were... its pretty much identical to the old attraction just with characters in it.

Yes, it's outdated, BUT even an outdated movie is better than the what they have in Italy -- which is NOTHING!" Well, rather than new attractions at World Showcase or replacement of the Canada film... it seems Spaceship Earth is next on the agenda for upgrades. But that's getting a bit off topic... I'm still highly amused that Gran Fiesta is sort of like a cross between the Nemo and Rockin' RollerCoaster storyline... Rockin' Del Nemo...

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I miss CircleVision 360 at Disneyland. 'Rocket Rods' pushed it out, and 'Buzz Lightyear' kept it out. So, with 'Oh Canada!' and 'Wonders of China' [or whatver it's called], those are the last CircleVision 360 movies in the stateside parks, right? I always enjoyed the simplicity, yet really cool feature of having the movie screens surrounding the audience for 'America the Beautiful' and 'American Journeys' at Disneyland. A great idea, with great movie making quality and execution. A CirlceVision movie was one of those low-key experiences, that, when combined with the big-thrill rides, made for a more complete Disneyland experience.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 "I wish they would make a 3D CircleVision." Wow, talk about disorienting!! It would be something if they could though. Yes, the Visionarium (aka Timekeeper at WDW) was at the MK for several years. Now it's Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. So, I do think that the China and Canada films are the only two left in the world at this point...at least at Disney parks.
