Captain EO (1986)
It lived up to it's billing
Captain EO was the greatest attraction I'd seen in my life up to that time. As a matter of fact, it's still the greatest.
I love theme parks and I've seen a lot of attractions. Spiderman at Universal comes close.
I was in my twenties when EO was released and the film made me feel like a big kid. I wasn't too concerned about the plot and the acting as much as the effects, music and dancing. I got everything I bargained for and then some. I was sad to see it go. If they ever brought it back, I'd be first in line to see it!
All I know is it was an attraction that I could feel. Captain EO was a trend setter. It ran as a 3D attraction, but it was more like a 4D. There was smoke and lasers to go with the 3D effects. I experienced Captain EO at least 20 times and every single time, there was roaring applause at the end.
Great!
