Is Sum of All Thrills Closing?:

According to a report by WDW Magic, Sum of All Thrills could be the next Innoventions attraction to close at Epcot. The Kuka Robot Arm which allows guests to create a simulated thrill ride no longer appears on the Epcot guide map. If you go on the attraction's website it say you can access the ride replays until June 30, 2016. 

The attraction is sponsored by Raytheon and is low capacity ride, only 2 guests can ride the attraction at a time. It has been quite popular since it opened in late 2009 in Innoventions East. All Innoventions exhibits have corporate sponsors key to their existence and are limited time agreements. If the agreement between Raytheon and Disney is up, this could be the reason for the rumored impending closure of Sum of All Thrills. 

Innoventions West closed in 2015 and only two attractions would remain in Innoventions East if Sum of All Thrills closes, Storm Struck and recently opened Colortopia. Disney has not made any announcements on the impending closure of Sum of All Thrills.

Disney Moves FastPass+ Booking Time:

Guests will no longer have to stay up to book their FastPass+ reservations when they reach their 60 day mark to their Disney World vacation. Instead of making their reservations beginning at midnight, guests will no make reservations beginning at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time. Off-site guests and annual passholders will still have to wait 30 days out to make their reservations.

Captain EO just recently was opened again after being on hiatus for a few months with its theater showing previews of "Tomorrowland" and "Inside Out" during the summer months. Captain EO has long been rumored of closing for good and being replaced with different attractions including a rumor of an attraction based on Disney Pixar's "Inside Out." Disneyland's version of Captain EO has been closed since July of 2014.

Disney has yet to confirm the closing of the attraction in Epcot but as you can see on the sign it will be ending. We should hear confirmation within the next few days as the closing date is only 3 weeks away.
