Farewell Whoopi !

[Isaac]

Golden Dreams will permanently close Monday, Sept. 8th.

Anyone feel like going the resort this weekend for a farewell Whoopi meet ?

:D

[CoasterMatt]

Unfortunately, I'll be stuck with a giant Whoopi for the forseeable future.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

How about if we go but just hang out outside the theater instead of entering? I don't think I can stomach seeing it a 4th time...

[Gn2Dlnd]

What part of the theatre do you think Imagineering will preserve to hide in the new attraction?

[MouseWife]

Aw. I actually liked the movie. I liked how they gave a little history lesson with Whoopi to add a little levity.

Did I miss something, CoasterMatt? Why will you be stuck with a giant Whoopi?

I'd love to go but alas I can't.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Aw. I actually liked the movie. I liked how they gave a little history lesson with Whoopi to add a little levity. What was your favorite Golden Dream - the one where a child blows up or the one where a woman lives in servitude for the rest of her life? ;) Just messing with you, MW. :)

[MouseWife]

LOL

No, I didn't like it for pleasure but I did like that it told the truth. Honestly, I usually teared up during it.

But I am a sap.

[figment1986]

I enjoyed it enough to be happy i saw it 1 and only 1 time.

personally It didnt draw in the crowds, and will now sit unused except for the few school organizations who need to use it... then go under the sea.

[JWBear]

When I read the thread title, I thought Whoopi had died! :eek:

[RStar]

I liked the original version of the movie before they toned it down.

[Gemini Cricket]

When I read the thread title, I thought Whoopi had died! :eek:
Me, too!
:D

I don't think I've ever teared up during Golden Dreams. I know sometimes I tear up at the finale of Soarin'. But, then again, I'm a big 'ol sap.
:D

[Chernabog]

The best things about the Decapitated Whoopi Movie were:

1) The old version, "Honey, I Blew Up The Kid". Yes. They showed a chinese boy going boom boom. Fun for the whole family.

2) The first time seeing it, and a lady in the front row literally screaming in terror when Whoopi first opened her eyes.

Oh, good times.

Saw it again on the last Gumball Rally. Worse than I remembered!

Good riddance, Whoopi!

[innerSpaceman]

Twice was enough for me.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Once - to see it.

Twice - to make sure it was as awful as I remembered. It was.

Thrice - MouseAdventure. Curse you, MouseAdventure!!!

[flippyshark]

I really got the giggles during my one and only viewing. Terrible.

[katiesue]

Maddy used to love it because it was "educational". I think I've seen it around 10 times - I'm still trying to repress the memories.

[Disneyphile]

Ken's never seen it and wants to, merely to scoff at the "historical" bits.

But, alas, he is still passless, so it looks like he'll have to wait for the YouTube premiere. ;)

You might want to stop at the cove bar first:cheers:

I've seen it once, that was enough for me. Any idea what will replace it?

[innerSpaceman]

Once - to see it.

Twice - to make sure it was as awful as I remembered. It was.


Eh, it was even worse the second time. No more exploding ChinaBoy. Ugh.




The poor-man's American Adventure finale always made me ill.

[cirquelover]

If we lived down there we would love to go with you. I'm guessing I saw the old version though, would be interesting to see what changed.

Have fun though!

[JWBear]

Am I the only one here who likes it?

[innerSpaceman]

Yes.

[BarTopDancer]

Yes.

I've seen it one. CURSE YOU MOUSEADVENTURE!!!!!

[MouseWife]

Hey, I may not be around a lot but I do still count!!

I do like it. I don't remember seeing the exploding boy. Glad for that!

I have to say, it was the part about the woman coming to SF to meet her husband, how she was treated, and how she handled it, that brought tears to my eyes.

I also loved that it was educational.

Also, I love Whoopi. Been a fan forever. I like her sense of humor, her way. Reminds me of an eccentric aunt or something. Everyone needs an eccentric aunt. With a lot of cats.

[JWBear]

...Everyone needs an eccentric aunt. With a lot of cats.

We already have one. Her name is Lisa. ;)

[wolfy999]

But will a Little Mermaid Dark Ride be better?

[Isaac]

A popcorn cart would be better !

LOL

[JWBear]

Leave Whoopi ALOOOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[MouseWife]

Leave Whoopi ALOOOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!

:snap:

I wish Lisa were an aunt to my kids. I think they would be blessed. Oh, and Chris as their uncle, too. Would be awesome.

Are they taking any wayward nieces/nephews?

[CoasterMatt]

Did I miss something, CoasterMatt? Why will you be stuck with a giant Whoopi?

On the side of the escalator/elevator down to the Studio Tour - there's a giant standing Whoopi billboard.

It wasn't lit during Halloween Horror Nights, and all you could see was a giant set of floating teeth.

[ToriBear]

A popcorn cart would be better !

LOL

Lol!

Yeah!:p

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Am I the only one here who likes it?No

But I only saw it once.

[Disneyphile]

I like the song.

I don't think the film is awesome, but I have found it somewhat inspirational.

That is, until I went to check out all the details that people have pointed out. ;)

[CoasterMatt]

I just want the scene of Kid Dynamite cut into the end of Soarin' - you know, just as those big fireworks bursts show up :D

[blueerica]

Must be some kind of birthday present... So, I guess I have officially avoided having to see Golden Dreams, ever, forever and ever, ever.

[RStar]

Ken's never seen it and wants to, merely to scoff at the "historical" bits.

But, alas, he is still passless, so it looks like he'll have to wait for the YouTube premiere. ;)

I saw Captain EO on YouTube, so why not?

Of course Disney pulled it.......

:rolleyes:

[LSPoorEeyorick]

It's official - it's gone and I've never seen it, not once.

[Gn2Dlnd]

It was edutainment at its most funspirational.

[innerSpaceman]

Um, no it was not.


It was so pathetic compared to the Disney edutainment vehicle it copied so blatently from (so as to invite such comparisons), that it can not be considered anywhere near the most funspirational.

[NirvanaMan]

What was your favorite Golden Dream - the one where a child blows up or the one where a woman lives in servitude for the rest of her life? ;)

Wow. I don't even know which ones of those are better. Both are quite awesome.

Hmm... decisions decisions.

:evil:

[Gn2Dlnd]

Could we get a dead-pan tag here, please. I'm suddenly being taken literally.

Oh, wait It was edutainment at its most funspirational. :rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes:

and, OMG, SPELL-CHECK TAGGED "FUNSPIRATIONAL", BUT NOT "EDUTAINMENT"!!!!! OMG!



Which is all to say, iSm is right, of course. Even though I don't know what show Golden Dreams was copied from.

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, the frellingtastical American Adventure at Epcot. Golden Dreams ripped off the finale to meager effect (not to mention ripping off the song title for its film title).


Sorry, didn't recognized the dripping sarcasm. Next time, drizzle it with chocolate, please.

[lashbear]

Am I the only one here who likes it?
I liked it too.

Ignore the rest, they're all Curmudgeons. :p

[innerSpaceman]

Hmmm, liked by JWBear and lashbear. Do I sense a trend??

[MouseWife]

Ahem...and me.

So, what is the trend. :D

[Isaac]

Fur, apparently

[MouseWife]

Oh.....I can take that quite a few ways but :rolleyes:

I'll take it that mice have a fur coat as do bears. :snap:

[alphabassettgrrl]

I only dimly remember it but I thought I liked it. I'm sad that I didn't get the time to see it one last time.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Hmmm, liked by JWBear and lashbear. Do I sense a trend??I liked it too.

[Kevy Baby]

I liked it too.Yeah, but aren't you a twink?





























I hope that is not a derogatory comment!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Oh Kevy, I wish I was (were?) a twink!

[Gemini Cricket]

If Szczerbiak is a twink, then he's the tallest twink I have ever seen.
:)

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I'm about 20 years and 400 pounds past being a twink. :(

[CoasterMatt]

This is the giant Whoopi I was talking about

[innerSpaceman]

Please say that's a pShop job.

[CoasterMatt]

Sorry, nope.

[Gemini Cricket]

I think they should Whoopi-fy everything on the Universal Tour. Instead of Jaws, a huge Whoopi head comes out of the water terrorizing guests.
:D

[CoasterMatt]

They just need porcelain deer, and Seagram's wine coolers.

[Moonliner]

Please say that's a pShop job.

And I thought the giant wand was an eyesore.....

[Kevy Baby]

And I thought the giant wand was an eyesore.....So many responses, so little time :D
