Reopened after an extended, repeatedly delayed maintenance refurbishment of the theater and its Audio-Animatronic show; no new show scenes were added.
Returned from refurbishment with the film portion converted to digital HD projection, a re-cut Golden Dream finale montage adding contemporary figures, and a re-recorded Golden Dream anthem.
Added roughly 45 seconds of new footage to the end of the Golden Dream finale montage, the first update since 1993, most notably brief imagery of NYPD/FDNY rescue crews following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Refurbished with all-new Audio-Animatronic figures and a re-recorded version of the closing theme, 'Golden Dream'.
Opened on EPCOT Center's first day as the centerpiece show of the U.S. pavilion, a roughly 29-minute Audio-Animatronic stage show narrated by figures of Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain.
