Twister

BTW- the ride/experience where Shrek is now was the Alfred Hitchcock exhibit.

Not sure that a Tonight Show attraction sounds too interesting to me.:(

Yes....I loved that attraction and that actually started my obsession with Hitchcock movies.
Do you remember the Psycho house too? It was so cool.

Back to the future!Back to the future!Back to the future!!!!

good, that was horrible.....very lame.
My 15 year old brother commented "that's just a Wednesday night in Kansas".

Not sure about the Tonight Show theme... possibly put out there to 1) throw people off 2) catch leaks...

Someone in the industry has reported the replacement will be... ready fro it?? MORE SCREENS!!!!

A screen based, 3D motion simulator... Didn't say the theme though...

Interesting info is that this may be a Twister redo using a Soarin' or even the new Avatar/Pandora based motion/flying simulator. Imagine being in the middle of a twister rather than just watching from the sidelines.

Could be pretty cool, athough this might also be a one-up on Disney with this being done and open before Avatar.

That does sound cool! Personally I will miss Twister. Aside from the dated video footage (and Bill Paxton's monotone delivery) I thought the actual attraction was fun.

Tina Fey? Jimmy Fallon? 30 Rock?

Soarin over NY?

Twister's replacement, project number 727, or so it is rumored... Project Director: Donald MacLean...

He is also the project director for the Shrek replacement, which is project 620...

I usually don't venture off Disney property - but on my last trip I went to Universal for Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley was awesome... but honestly - the rest of Universal felt like a time capsule. Dated, dated, dated. Twister was super lame. The cow? haha! And the video of Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Def time for that "ride" to go.

Did you ride Disaster while there? You should have... it is a pretty cool special effects show, plus, it's also soon to be on its way out... Universal won't be dated in a few years...

I did - I got chosen as the person to sit in the ball pit and scream. lol. I dunno - I guess Universal just was lacking for me. But to each their own.

That's how I feel about Disney now. I'm "Meet n Greeted" out. Nothing new but simple dark rides with no imagination....cute but no "wow" factor. But like you said to each their own.:thumbsup:

Any more guesses on possible replacements??

As a side note, I will miss the store. I really did like the merchandise. We purchased my daughter the cutest "Keep Calm and Click Your Heels" shirt with sparkly ruby Dorothy shoes on the front. And, cow themed merchandise ... why not? Lol.

Rumor is a Soarin style ride featuring Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey, taking place in NYC... Or some sort of attraction dealing with Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show... The facade is rumored to be designed after 30 Rock (the building not TV show LOL)... with a NBC store serving as a gift shop...

I wouldn't consider this a major addition, more like a side project to replace an old attraction...
