    Default Disney on Ice at MGM

    does anyone know if it is true that Disney are planning to make a studio in MGM to house a permanent Disney On Ice show?

    I haven't heard this particular rumor but I'll say that I WOULDN'T be completely against it. We tend to go to a lot of Disney On Ice shows and they are usually very well done. The sets they had for Incredibles in the Magic Kingdom were incredible . It is also an attraction that would have the ability to be constantly changed.

    I love Disney on Ice and was actually thinking that this would be a great idea. Add in a a spot somewhere on property to house a show as they travel around the World.

    I think that would be great. And it would be a nice cool place to get out of the heat for a while as you enjoy a great show.

    The Chrismas Ice show in Disneyland Paris was always packed.

    I think it would be good idea, only if the show followed the seasons. else, once you see it one you may not want to see it again

    I beg to differ Ian, Disney-MGM studios could still use a couple of shows, it is after themed to Hollywood and the world of entertainment, and whats better than live entertainment?

    Cool

    Sounds like a great idea to me. And in my opinion, The Studios park is a perfect place for it. I'd stop and watch.

    Rides.

    I disagree that the Studios could use more live entertainment.

    Check out this list ... these are all the attractions they list for the Studios:

    • The Great Movie Ride - Ride
    • Beauty and The Beast Live - Show
    • The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - Ride
    • Rock 'n' Rollercoaster - Ride
    • Playhouse Disney Live - Show
    • Voyage of the Little Mermaid - Show
    • Magic of Animation - Show
    • Muppets 3-D - Show
    • Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure - Playground
    • Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show - Show
    • Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour - Show
    • Toy Story Mania - Ride
    • Walt Disney: One Man's Dream - Show
    • Sounds Dangerous - Show
    • Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular - Show
    • Star Tours - Ride


    That's a total of 16 attractions, with 5 rides (including one that's yet-to-be-built), 10 shows, and one playground area.

    There's already twice as many shows as there are rides. Enough with the shows already. They bore me. Build a great new E-Ticket please. Don't waste money installing something you're already charging people all over the country to see anyway.

    I completely agree with Ian here. The park is "themed" to Hollywood...but what would Disney on Ice have to do with that? What the park needs is more "fun" stuff to do...not more stuff where I get to sit for half an hour.

    Next Trip: May 2017 at POP...again. Unless the FP+ thing isn't worked out. Then we'll go to Dollywood. Or just stay home and look at pictures.

    guys..... I respectfully disagree with both of you. Us people like shows. That's why we go to WDW instead of Universal !

    Ian,

    You forgot your favorite show - Fantasmic!

    I really like most of the shows, (in fact my favorite attraction, including rides, was Hunchback) but I agree, they need another ride or two first.

    Hunchback, LMA and Fantasmic were and are really the best shows at MGM. But they really need a few more major rides (side note: I don't and will never consider Toy Story Mania a major ride and am still extremely upset that that is how they decided to use that extremely large space). Their two biggest attractions are at the end of Sunset Boulevard and a lot of people think that's all the park has.
