I hadn't ridden this on previous trips, and finally did on trip #3 with my wife in 2016.
Glad I did, it felt much more like the old optimistic-futuristic-educational Epcot that I loved.
Though I'll probably mourn the loss of The Great Movie ride more than this one.
A new Baymax themed health pavillion would be awesome. I'd much rather have something like that than a damn superhero coaster.
I'm dreading the seemingly inevitable day for Figment to disappear once again. God knows instead of making his exhibit more interesting they'll just bulldoze it.

I was so hoping this would be about Ax and Smash showing up to the park.  |

Gods, I was so hoping that WDWMagic tweet had Ax & Smash in it.   EPCOT was weird revisiting back in 2011-2012 for me. My last trip before that was 1994, and soon after a few of the pavilions I *loved* - Horizons, Wonders of Life, World of Motion, even Communicore - went away. I regret not going into Universe of Energy those few years ago when I was there again; I got the impression from my Disney-geek ex that it was not the same as it had been. Now it's just Spaceship Earth, The Land (which I never liked as a kid, but that was before Soarin') and Imagination (which I hear is a very hollow version of what it had once been) from the ol' Future World. |

See, Disney, if you didn't want to turn us old school EPCOT fans off, having Ax and Smash host the Universe of Energy could've earned you a ton of goodwill.

I laughed more than I should have, at that....  Last time I went to Epcot, I got so nauseous, on Mission: Space. |

The fact ride replaced the legendary Horizons pavilion still irks many to this day (myself included). Hell, the fact that Disney had a friggin' kick ass space pavilion planned out as early as the late 70s but instead gave us THAT when they decided to do an EPCOT space-based attraction still irks many to this day (myself included). |

Last time I went to Epcot, I got so nauseous, on Mission: Space. I've never gotten nauseous in a ride/simulator ever. That was the first and so far only. Hell, that damn Tower of Terror was almost as bad, but oddly enjoyable. Mission Space was just a disconcerting and jarring experience. |
