I think I could find better aquariums in most major metropolitan cities. There's a lack of good signs identifying the sea life swimming around the tanks. I guess the two "sections" I enjoy most today are the manatee tank and the holding area for Turtle Talk.>> Agreed on all points. The original LS was a huge snooze-fest.

Who'd of thought?

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>Love M:S,do you think there is a possibility of epcot growing to this type of energy so to speak?<<< Going for that type of attraction and experience? I would think so...and I would think that it began already. Look at TT. Look at Soarin'. Honestly, I don't mind that. M:S is a great ride. It's pretty close to an EPCOT Center ride as we've gotten in a while. (If TT were futuristic, it would be perfect...)

Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer <<Does the Princess and the Frog mark a new era or just a brief interlude>> I almost think patf is almost done with. It was really excited while it lasted, but in reality, it was just another "Franchise", just like alice in wonderland is now. It's like everytime a disney movie like this comes out, they'll advertise it with the parks. I don't have a problem with this, it's just a trend i've noticed throughout the years
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<If you were dead from the neck up...>> Nope, no, nein, wrongo, false. Only EPCOT Center diehards remember TLS fondly. I know of no regular guest or casual fan that laments the loss of the pavilion.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<You know honestly, my biggest worry for epcot is pixar taking over.>> .... Ummm.... There's one Pixar attraction in the park...
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper Eh, I doubt you'll see much more outside of Pixar Place, which is fine for me.
