More Closures at Innoventions (including Sum of All Thrills)

The rumours about SOAT closing has been swirling for months.
I'm sad that it's actually official.

Yeah I know. This rumor has been floating around for a while, and although it is technically still a rumor, WDWMAGIC tends to be very, very reliable. Also heard from a source over at Raytheon about a month or two ago that the attraction was to close by the end of the year.
 
I would like to get at least 1 more ride on it......Sad to see it go, but I wasn't able to ride it the last time due to a health condition.....

I'll be crossing my fingers....What else do we have to look forward to closing????

confirmed. It was posted on the HUB
 
Anyone else think Disney is intentionally trying to upset their fans? I mean usually they're better with the timing of these things.
these 2 attractions in particular just lost the sponsors, they didn't renew the contracts

Well, the "intentional" part of my post was sarcasm. I still have enough faith in TWDC to believe that is not actually the case. And I am very aware of the contract details with these groups. It just seems odd to me that once again, their timing of these announcements is strange. They usually spread them out, but so far this year, the pattern has been quite the opposite.
 
SOAT was like a hidden gem to us. We actually missed it our first couple trips to Epcot and have really enjoyed it since we discovered it.

like a bandaid
 
I didn't expect SOAT would be open on our trip in early Sept, so that is a surprise to us. When I planned our FP+'s and morning touring I didn't even include this. My girls will be happy!

It does make me sad about the Innoventions buildings in general, though. I have many memories of my girls in lab coats and safety googles completing different experiment type things years ago. I really liked that aspect of Epcot.
 
This is sad. I hope they'll do something with Innoventions. This was fun. The different rides you could do, and where else can you laugh at the Virtual Boy again?
 
This says the 14th for SOAT. Does that mean it will be opened on 14th or closed on the 14th? We are planned to be ther on the 14th.
 
We did SOAT yesterday. It is a family favorite. So sad to see it go. Unique experience. Maybe they will add it to carousel of progress. It's a great big beautiful tomorrow.....
 
This makes me really sad. We were looking forward to checking this out for out fall trip. I know DS would've have really liked it.
