Previously at this location had been the Flying Saucers and the Tomorrowland Stage. The Magic Eye Theater opened in Disneyland in May 1984 with “Magic Journeys”(a Kodak-sponsored 3D movie that had been imported from Walt Disney World in 1984 for a two year run on the Space Stage and then for four months at the Magic Eye Theater).
Then in September 18, 1986, it started showing “Captain EO”, and ran until April 7, 1996. Then it showed “Honey, I Shrunk The Audience” from May 22 1998 to January 4 2010. “Captain EO” was screened again as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson from February 23 2010 to June 22, 2014.
Now screening in 2017 “Star Wars: Path of the Jedi”.

Star Wars: Path of the Jedi screens movie moments from all seven Star wars films and maybe even Rogue One!?
Space stage should be a former name and the operator should be listed as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. the current image for the theater shows the Epcot version of the Magic eye theater that is the line start post at the Imagination building at Disney world.
This is now considered an extinct Disneyland attraction, as the space is being used for other shows. From “DisneyNews”
Magic Eye Theater was a theater attraction located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. The theater was originally built in 1986 and housed the attraction Captain EO, a 3D film starring Michael Jackson that was produced by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
The Magic Eye Theater featured state-of-the-art projection and sound technology, as well as a 70mm screen and 3D glasses that made the images on the screen appear to leap out at the audience. The theater was a popular attraction among fans of Michael Jackson and the Disney Parks, and remained a fixture at Disneyland until 1997, when it was replaced by the Tomorrowland Expo Center.
In 2010, the Magic Eye Theater was once again used to show Captain EO, in tribute to Michael Jackson after his death. The attraction ran for a limited time and was hugely popular among fans of the pop icon. Today, the theater is home to a variety of seasonal and special events, and has been used to showcase new attractions, movies, and other entertainment offerings at Disneyland Park.
