Captain Eo - Remembering Michael Jackson
Not many people can said that they had such an influence in their lifetimes in many different fields, but surely Michael Joseph Jackson was one of the few ones that he influenced even on the developing of theme parks, beyond his Neverland Ranch, M.J. had a ride in Epcot Center “Captain EO ” during the eighties and part of the nineties. Not many young people remember this ride it’s impossible because much of the actual generation wasn’t even born or where very little to remember this wonderful 3D movie, but if you were born after 1980 you probably can remember much of this ride.
Michael played the role of Captain EO and Anjelica Huston played the Supreme Leader, the baddie of the film. The film had a simple premise to change the world through music; the ride was quite lovely but it was replaced by Honey I Shrunk the Kids which it is less spectacular than Captain EO and many people feel disappointing toward the new ride who has been operating since 1994 and it seems that it will be there for quite a while, even if not many people remember that movie, but with the dawn of M.J. death maybe Disney should put a pavilion or a small exhibition in remembrance of this amazing ride.
