Since Disney and the Michael Estate already have a working relationship with Hot Toys...what are the odds we get an EO?

Maybe, but I think HT will tackle just 2 or 3 more MJ's before calling it quits IMO

Is there any talk about how long it's going to be playing there? I've been planning a trip back to Disneyland but it will be later on in the year.

Would love to see it again... this time with my kids.

Some say until Star Tours opens, because there's no way they have 2 attractions closed @ Tomorrowland, so that would be until 2011... I hope!

The 11th--that figures. I'm going to be there on the 8th.

Bummer!

I remember seeing this when I was a kid. It was pretty cool!

Captain EO

Images on the televisions above the queue for the Magic Eye Theater reveal the words “Captain EO Tribute,” proving that the attraction is on its way into the theme park.

The 17-minute film will return to its home at the theater inside Tomorrowland, replacing “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.”

The Michael Jackson film was a mainstay at the park from 1986 to 1997, finally closing after its popularity faded. Jackson also was facing molestation charges, starting in 1993, which prompted some people to question the appropriateness of the film playing inside the family friendly theme park.

Walt Disney Imagineering plans to bring “Captain EO” back this month. A firm date has yet to be announced.

Interesting that they note that not all of the special effects will still be in the show.

Spoiler

I guess that means no rotating sparks behind the screen when the queen is destroyed. That part actually always bugged me as a kid so it may be an improvement. I don't remember many more theater effects but I do seem to remember some other sparks or things in the theater.

Everyone go to Disneyland to see this so we here in Orlando have a better chance of getting it ourselves.

I'll try to be there next month!!!

Kuzeh, Please remember to bring me back something cool from Captain EO and I will pay you back in full. Knowing my luck, I will never get to the parks to see the show.

Those original plushes are cool! I wish they would do a Hologram Watch of the Captain EO movie poster, Much like the old pins.
