New Rides

[WDWHart]

American Idol is not an attraction it is a place to get in the AC. I have no plans to ever enter this building, unless DW says I have to, then it will be to just watch over DS1.5!

I would be very surprised if they did not announce a major ride in the next 6 months or like lockedoutlogic said Iger is not stepping up to the Plate!!

call me a purist but i wish they had stuck to Walt's original concept in which Walt Disney World and Disneyland were completely different worlds not effected by the outside world.

This means all original stuff. All the time.

No Mickey D's fries in the parks, no coca cola logos everywhere I turn, and DEFINITELY NO AMERICAN IDOL!

That is almost impossible to do especially in today's world. Back in the 50s and 60s, it was easier to do but today, everything is interrelated with pop culture.

Also, money is what drives everything and things cost so much now that advertising dollars go a long way in keeping the parks updated and ticket prices from going even higher than they are now.

People want things related to the "outside world." So, one is always going to get things of that nature.

I'm not really sure what I think of American Idol at DHS, but I need to point something out.

Does this mean then, that you're in favor of removing Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Great Movie Ride. Muppetvision (before Disney bought them), and Pooh?

wowee- i suppose you've got me there, lol

i'm just curious as to what the parks wouldve turned out like is all....

and a teensy bit angry about American idol...

Can we stop with the bashing of the American Idol attraction? The attraction hasn't even seen it's first guest, and some of us are bashing it because of what we perceive it will be. Let's just be grateful they're building something new. Then once it opens, and we've been thru it, offer up a review.

Although I watch the show, I'm not sure what I think of it yet, but I'm sure of one thing it'll be better the Sounds Dangerous!

american idol is one of the worst things to ever be put on TV.....

granted that's my opinion....but that's kinda what we do here.....

i'm sure that i'll probably go to the show when it opens and it might be done well....but american idol isn't what i want in disney.....that's the bottomline
