“Captain EO,” starring the late king of pop, is going on hiatus, Disney says, so that auditorium can be used for guests to preview scenes from the film “Tomorrowland,” which debuts in theaters May 22.
The last day for “EO” is Thursday, April 9. The “Tomorrowland” previews, which will start every 15 or 20 minutes, will begin later.
“Tomorrowland,” starring the Oscar-winning Clooney, has a futuristic bent that could play well in the theme park’s Future World. The film is directed by Brad Bird (“The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol”), who wrote the screenplay with Damon Lindelof (“Lost”).
Segments of “Tomorrowland” were filmed in Central Florida, although the bulk of the production was made in Canada. One of the movie posters features a structure that looks resembles Space Mountain, the signature ride of Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland.
“Captain EO” originally ran at Epcot from 1986 to 1994. It returned to the park’s Imagination Pavilion in July 2010, the year after Jackson’s unexpected death. Its second run was described as “temporary” at the time.
“EO” is a 3-D film in which Jackson plays a singing, dancing, space warrior who has a crew of aliens and robots. He is challenged by the “supreme leader,” played by Anjelica Huston. The film, directed by Francis Coppola, has also been seen at Disneyland in California, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
The Disney Parks Blog has stated that “EO” will return to Epcot sometime after the premiere of “Tomorrowland.” A specific date has not been announced.

Hi! Here is a suggestions thought for 60th anniversary for Disneyland Park.
1. DINOSAUR (new ride for Tomorrowland) to replace Disneyland INNOVENTIONS and since Disneyland closed Innoventions in Tomorrowland attraction in Disneyland Park in California Anaheim and so DINOSAUR is best way to replacement from INNOVENTIONS to reopen the ride as exactlt same type scenes, rides that happened at Walt Disney World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom park in Florida was opened and so it is time for DINOSAUR ride to reopen to replace at INNOVENTIONS this year at Disneyland.
2. SPLASH MOUNTAIN is best to change to REPLACE bring back “THE COUNTRY BEARS SHOW” this year 2015 announce it to make permanently close SPLASH MOUNTAIN forever to make way for original THE COUNTRY BEARS SHOW to be replacing back to Critter Country into BEAR COUNTRY again in return at Disneyland Park.
Because I don’t really like Splash Mountain at all, it was unsafety issue with no seatbelts, no safety bars and this log flume ride really bothers me and my a lot of my friends, and co-workers and my parents, and that’s why we are sick and tired of Splash Mountain and we really wanted Splash Mountain to remove it and replace something like to bring THE COUNTRY BEARS Show in this time for new replacement for The Country Bears Jamboree show to new replacement from Splash Mountain!!!
So Splash Mountain is better way to be taken down forever!!! We’re sick of Splash Mountain and so long time Country Bears show to replace Splash Mountain into make way for new return for the Country Bears show?
and
4. BRING BACK “CAPTAIN EO” at Disneyland Park at Tomorrowland Theater as best Magic Eye Theater with same 3D/4D glasses, best digital laser-cycle effects, wind effects and ride fun bouncing seats with floors movement with the best attraction original special effects version of Return of the CAPTAIN EO starring Michael Jackson as best musical numbers, dancing and space adventure and best attraction that I wanted Disneyland to bring CAPTAIN EO back at Disneyland and have remain Captain EO forever at Disneyland into the best longest attraction at all time the way it should be that I always love and support Captain EO. (Instead of as “Captain EO TRIBUTE”, just original title as “CAPTAIN EO”) (as still same special effects in 2010 version ride to restored without the word TRIBUTE but just CAPTAIN EO instead, right after sneak preview Tomorrowland film is done and permanently bring CAPTAIN EO and keep Captain EO into magic eye theater forever in Tomorrowland in Disneyland Park this year 2015 and forever always remain CAPTAIN EO forever!!!
Because I don’t like other movies or sneak previews that I never accept to go BUT except Captain EO is the only part that I always attend at Disneyland the most than others.
These are all 3 ideas of best thoughts for regarding and inquiries for Disneyland Park in best new 60th anniversary to have this new celebrating to be inspire these?
