/* Pavilion History */
===History Since Opening===
The Journey Into Imagination pavilion remained essentially the same until 1986, when Magic Journeys closed <ref name= "mouse"> https://www.mouseplanet.com/11109/The_Vacation_Kingdom_of_the_World_Its_a_3D_World_After_All </ref>. The attraction (which was eventually moved to [[Fantasyland]] in the [[Magic Kingdom]]) was replaced with a new 3D show [[Captain EO]] <ref name= "mouse"/>. Captain EO was created in partnership with Lucasfilms and stared pop icon Michael Jackson as the title character, a space captain charged with saving the universe. The new show featured technologically not present in its predecessor, including in-theater special effects such as laser and smoke to go along with traditional 3D effects <ref name= "E82Part2"> http://www.epcotlegacy.com/historical-expositions/2010/10/25/gather-store-re-combine-a-history-of-imagination-part-2.html </ref>.

Captain EO ran in the Journey Into Imagination pavilion for eight years, before it was finally replaced with a new show in 1994. Replacing Captain EO, was a new 3D show- Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. A spin off of the popular Honey, I Shrunk the Kids film series, Honey, I Shrunk the Audience once again used 4D effects including water and small fans to immerse guests in the film <ref> Epcot Encyclopedia </ref>. Due to the fact that new film took place in the fictional Imagination Institute (where Professor Wayne Szalinski was receiving the inventor of the Year award), the Magic Eye Theater was renamed the “Imagination Institute” at this time <ref> http://www.epcotlegacy.com/historical-expositions/2011/3/28/gather-store-re-combine-a-history-of-imagination-part-3.html </ref>.
