I had made a touring plan for our date at Epcot… when I made the plan a couple weeks ago, all was well.
Today, I logged in and discovered an alert, telling me “optimization” couldn’t be rendered on account that Sum of All Thrills will be permanently closed by the time of our arrival.
I checked the Disney site itself, and it is still giving times of operation for our date. I also can find no official announcement of its closing using search engines within Disney World site or the whole wide web.
Anyone have any solid inside info? Should I reconfigure our tour plan to not include this attraction?
I read from a reputable source a few days ago that this would be closing on September 14th. I think it was also mentioned on a tourplans blog post. We are pretty bummed out as we were looking forward to riding it for our trip starting on September 24th.
I am pretty frustrated with all of the closings during our trip! I think we will take a vacation from Disney World until they finish the majority of their new construction after our September trip.
Losing Sum of All Thrills is very sad - always a stealth favorite as it had a nice design aspect plus was a cool ride. Felt like a headliner but without the wait. Keep hoping a new sponsor would step up to replace Raytheon on this one to save it, but it doesn’t sound likely at this point…
Boo, I’m heartbroken. Innoventions is a huge part of what makes Epcot so special… our nerdy kids love all the interactive education, and I love, LOVE Sum Of All Thrills. My favourite ride, bar none, ANYWHERE on property.
Sad.
Well, I’m glad someone addressed this. I am looking at the map and trying to fit it into my plans, yet couldn’t find it. Now I now why. — Is there an updated map somewhere?
