I hate to see any 3D shut down, but, it was about time! "Captain EO" 
opened on September 19, 1986. One of the prints at Disneyland was in
terrible shape (shouldn't both the left and right print been in the 
same shape?). Do you remember the big gala opening party Disney 
staged? The party was part of an hour-long TV special, "Disney's
Captain EO Grand Opening". They had a galazy of stars present, 
including O. J. Simpson and 3D movie star, Charles Bronson.

Finally, "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" has been playing at Epcot for 
two years. The 3D movie fans on the west coast are ready for the 
change! But, from what I've heard the Florida print of "Honey" has seen 
better days. Hopefully Disney can get us a nice new print and take care 
of it.   

Dan, thanks for the good news.
