That has to be the lamest excuse I've ever heard! Cedar Point doesn't need to have "sponsors" for their marquee attractions and they don't need sponsorship money to maintain them. The very concept that Walt Disney world, and the Walt Disney Company have to wait for some other corporation to open it's wallet to update Disney's attractions is bogus on multiple levels! It's more likely that the pavilion itself has become less popular as time has gone on and Disney just hasn't known what to do with it, especially after dropping about $130 million between MS and Soarin' and the current refurb of Spaceship Earth (again with funding from a "sponsor"). Or is Disney carrying the "world's fair" vibe too far with each pavilion being controlled by it's own corporate entity like NY 64-65 with Pepsi, Coke, Ford, the countries of Sweden, Japan, Norway, the states of NY, NJ, Florida, Illinois?
