Thanks for that link, looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

I'm pleased that he likes the Land revamp. It's actually the first thing they've installed in Epcot that I've been the least bit interested in since I was last there...and Test Track wasn't even open yet then.

It was also nice just looking at those pictures. Even if all my favorite Epcot things are gone, it would be nice to soak up the scenery again and remember the good ole pre-suck Epcot days...

Gosh, Future World has changed almost everything! We can't even keep the Living Seas' name!

Tis a very sad day when EPCOT is barely recognizable as the Experimental Protoype Community Of Tomorrow....

Definitly a bad move here. All they did was take another aspect of the ride away. I don't think making this ride an automated ride will attract any more guests to the Land than Soarin' currently is.

If you stepped onto a Jungle Cruise boat expecting to hear some great (yet lame) jokes, and you're surprised to find that the Skippers have been replaced by an Automated Skipper, how would you feel? Automating a Cast Member narrated ride killd the personality that the ride has.
