Above: The billboard for Captain Eo, presented by JCB @ Tokyo Disneyland, just prior to the attraction’s permanent closure.

After 14 years, Captain Eo reopened in Tomorrowland @ Tokyo Disneyland in 2010 and played until 2014 when it was replaced by Stitch’s Encounter. Captain Eo originally ran in Tokyo Disneyland from 1987, replacing Magic Journeys, until 1996, when it was replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

Unlike the American parks, the revival of Captain Eo wasn’t billed as a “revival”, rather it simply came back in its original form minus some of the special effects for which the hardware has since been removed from the theater.

Picture taken by me in 2013.

    I vaguely remember getting some sort of air blown on my face during the performance. I didn’t really understand why there was a Michael Jackson attraction, whether he was self-starring or a acting a character.
