Again, I'm a fan of your work!<br /><br />SWS, Thanks...I have tons of these newspaper ads, so I won't be running out of stuff to post for quite a while.<br /><br />OTB, I guess it would have helped if I had read the ENTIRE Wikipedia page. I just went back to the page and saw that it states: "Starting on June 16, 1984, it began a two-year run at Disneyland, first on the outdoor Space Stage and then inside the newly constructed Magic Eye Theater in Tomorrowland." But then it goes on to say, "In early 1986, the film was removed from Disneyland and EPCOT Center in order to make way for a new 3-D film, Captain EO." And then off in the margin is where they give the opening and closing dates and that is where January of 1986 is listed. It's a bit of a contradiction but it does state that it played in the new Magic Eye Theater. I wonder when they began constructing the Magic Eye Theater and I wonder how long it took them to finish it?<br /><br />Dan, I remember those dog faced people in the comic books! Magic Journeys actually began it's run at Disneyland in 1984. I never thought about it, but you're right about the time period that they must have been working on it in order for it to open at EPCOT in 1982. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. They should play Magic Journeys during the day and then swap it with Captain EO in the afternoon like they used to do with the films in the Circle Vision Theater at DL.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-49697970213174499612011-07-24T11:09:59.089-07:002011-07-24T11:09:59.089-07:00I don't ever remember seeing one of those dog-...I don't ever remember seeing one of those dog-faced people from the Disney Comics (you know, the ones that are often shown walking their pet dogs) selling hot dogs at Disneyland. Great advertisement!<br /><br />Since it was created for Epcot, the trippy Magic Journeys movie must have been made in the late 1970s or the very early 1980s, right? It must have been weird to see this appear as a new thing in 1986.Dan Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818108201214059180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-20486324032698112992011-07-24T09:43:44.675-07:002011-07-24T09:43:44.675-07:00I believe the one and only time I saw Magic Journe...I believe the one and only time I saw Magic Journeys was inside the Magic Eye theater. It was odd and felt very temporary.
