Since its return to Discoveryland “Captain EO” on June 12, 2010 the attraction has been advertised with a small announcement at the bottom of the weekly entertainment program’s cover handed out to all guests. This was ment to compensate the fact that all park maps offered to guests still list “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience” instead of “Captain EO” as the maps for the period up to November 6 had been printed already earlier this spring. Therefore, it came as a surprise when this week’s entertainment program for the first time omitted the reference to Captain EO / the fact that Captain EO has replaced HISTA. (more…)

Captain EO – or not?
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Captain EO Update
Sunday, June 27th, 2010
As has been discussed here repeatedly Disneyland Paris late this spring decided to replace the badly ageing, rather un-popular 4D movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience” with a return of the former fan-favourite “Captain EO” – a 3D musical space extra-vaganza featuring Michael Jackson.

Captain EO – an update from outerspace
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010… the outerspace of management that seems.

Then, just as at Tokyo Disney Resort the internal memo refers only to “Captain EO” and not to “Captain EO Tribute” as the attraction has been named at Disneyland Anaheim for its return there.

Captain EO preparing for touchdown – a confirmation?!
Monday, April 26th, 2010As reported in mid-April the rumor mill has been running overtime and is beyond just “hot” in regard to a pending closure of “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience” (short: HISTA) and the Imagination Institute in Disneyland’s Discoveryland in early May to prepare for a return of Michael Jackson in the 3D Space-Movie “Captain EO” that occupied the same spot in the early years of Disneyland Paris, when the theater was still called “Cinemagique”. However, so far the resort has NOT officially released any press release or advertising material confirming this move. However, … (more…)
