    I enjoy it very much =]
    Whenever we go it is slow anyways, but that ride is never full, so when crowds permit we usually pick a back car and get a whole row for each of us. Then we lean against the far side and put up our feet. It's relaxing and I never find the ride boring. I have always loved Ellen and Bill Nye <3

    And yes, we would miss it if they close it, but it needs to be updated.

    And the ride isn't terrible exactly, it just needs a revamp. Shorter opening movie, maybe a much newer film with new guests. (Trebek hasn't sported the 'stache in a decade ) The ride elements are ok once it gets going, but the movie is surely past it's sell-by date.
    I totally agree!
    I really like the ride alot, always have. The movie is horrific though...so long and out of date. I hope they update the movie and the movie elements (horrible Ellen "mannequin" in the ride is beyond terrible!). But the dinosaur part is still really cool!

    When I worked in EPCOT, I was actually surprised at the positive reception UoE got. The best one though were these Spanish tourists who wanted to see "The Ellen Show". I guess they thought she taped her show there?

    Personally I enjoyed the ride, although its a bit dated. The biggest con is the one that keeps me from riding again and that is its too long....on a shorter trip it takes up too much park time

    I love this attraction and never miss visiting it on every trip. I enjoy the show as well as the relaxing time sitting down--especially on a hot day in Epcot when I've been doing a lot of walking.

    I agree that it's dated, but I still look forward to seeing it and always love when the seats start to move--especially when I'm on the ride with someone who has never been on it.

    But to be perfectly honest, I enjoyed Ellen on this last one. Wish they'd ditch Bill Nye, he's not my favorite... But I don't mind this ride once a trip if there's time... and lots of it!

    Yep, EO has to go...and although I like Figgy, the ride is a shell of its former self...

    Seems to me that people either really love it or really hate this one.
    Believe it or not I have made it over a year of frequent weekend visits and have not expereinced this one yet. My DB hates it!! (Well, hates the film part, but says the ride is decent)
    I guess I'm going to have to make a solo dolo trip and finally form an opinion on this one

    I hate Captain EO also. Only reason I dont hate it more than Ellen is because its about half hour less. Bring back Honey I Shrunk the Audience or a new show.

    Keep Journey. I like how there is never a wait on those hot days plus Nigel Channing/Eric Idle cracks me up.

    Oh man I love Ellen and Bill Nye!

    Being a child of the late 80's Bill Nye holds a special place in my childhood.
