What do you think about it? Would you be happy with the next installment? Have fun DLP.Info team “Ghostâ€

Originally Posted By LindsayC I think the license rights in Cinemagique were secured for a good many years, I’m doing an article about the show in the next issue of Tales - with an interview from the executive producer and show writer, and they gave the impression that securing those rights was alot of hard work, so I can’t imagine it would have an under 10 year run. It would make a lot of sense if it went in the Animagique building as far as theme went, though I would like to see another show venue bought into the park to make up for a film based show replacing a stage/live performance venue.

Originally Posted By LindsayC mmm. I’m a little puzzled how this would fit the Studios theme (ie, any new film they put into Epcot’s Soarin’ wouldn’t fit a Studios theme...)
Originally Posted By leemac <<(same movie as EPCOT replacement -the current California is temporary-)>> Not strictly true as there is currently no plans to change Soarin' at Epcot. They definitely won't be any changes there for a considerable period of time (even more so in light of how incredibly popular it has become). I'm also sceptical that it could fit into that footprint mentioned and if it was skewed back over the railway lines I would also question whether the roof over the line could support such a heavy structure for the Soarin' theaters. I'd also be intrigued to see how they would retro-fit the Animagique building for the PhilharMagic screen. One of the highlights of that show is the wraparound screen.
Originally Posted By u k fan I have to say that thematically PhilharMagic fits better than Soarin'. Mind you the best bet would be to build a new theatre for PhilharMagic as part of the Toon Studios refit and make the current Animagique theatre part of the production courtyard and install Muppets 4D!!!
Originally Posted By KiNOO Leemac, anything can fit in the studios, there is NO THEME HERE! For Soarin', they can easily do a cheap storyline ala Rrnc (come and test our brand new technology to film documentaries!!). And i confirm that maps with Soarin featured on it exist.

Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney I would think if Disney is looking to increase attendance at its weakest park, it could do a whole lot better than a 1990 movie. It could do better than PhilharMagic too and add a real, immersive E-Ticket caliber attraction. I also agree with Lee. I've heard nothing to indicate that Epcot is planning on replacing its Soarin film anytime soon. Even as inexpensive a change as it would be to do so for the 25th Anniversary, they're gonna milk the version they have for as long as possible.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>the Muppets are very popular in Europe especially here in the UK because as American as they are The Muppet Show is still a British TV show!!!<< But, the entire population of the UK hangs out at WDW (and have properties in Orlando where they stay for weeks at a time/it's what we locals called "the Virgin Atlantic transplants") and I am sure they have all seen the Muppets at MGM!! So why bring it to DLRP when hardly any british guests choose to go there???
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo "Even as inexpensive a change as it would be to do so for the 25th Anniversary, they're gonna milk the version they have for as long as possible." I wouldn't call it cheap. The Yosemite sequence alone cost Disney a fortune. It was the first time helicopters were allowed in the park since WWII. And that sequence is what, 20 seconds? Maybe it's the native Californian in me, but I think it's great if it shows all the tourists how ugly florida is compared to CA. ;-) Bt I agree, it is not a good fit for the Studios. Discoveryland at a stretch maybe, but the proposed nature park - it could make sense there. Though I seriously doubt we'll see a 3rd gate for a while.

Originally Posted By Any Huis I really LIKE the Muppets 3D show, exactly as it is. But it would NOT fit in any non-American park. The funniest part of that movie is the climax -- a music & fireworks tribute to the USA. Miss Piggy is dressed (and undressed) as the Statue of Liberty! In fact, a key funny line is "It's a musical tribute to the whole world, but mostly America". THAT wouldn't fit well in Paris at all!!
Originally Posted By u k fan I think it would play fine over here in Europe. The American sequence at the end would be seen as satire and that's what Muppets do best! <<But, the entire population of the UK hangs out at WDW (and have properties in Orlando where they stay for weeks at a time/it's what we locals called "the Virgin Atlantic transplants") and I am sure they have all seen the Muppets at MGM!! So why bring it to DLRP when hardly any british guests choose to go there???>> Hence the need for Tower of Terror, RnRC, Catastrophe Canyon, Flying Carpets over Agrabah not to mention goodness knows how many attractions next door in DLP. That can't really be used as an argument. I'm confident that in whatever form the Muppets will be at WDS soon, particularly if that French show is a goer!!!
Originally Posted By leemac <<Even as inexpensive a change as it would be to do so for the 25th Anniversary, they're gonna milk the version they have for as long as possible.>> LuvDatDisney, you would be amazed at how expensive the Soarin' movie was. Now it wasn't a Captain EO it was pricey getting all the relevant permits and filming windows. Also why bother changing it (although it is slightly longer at Epcot)? WDW visitors are unlikely to have seen the original. I'd rather Epcot spend money on other FW pavilions personally and it appears they are about to. KinOO, there are plenty of plans with weird and wacky ideas. That is precisely what Peter McGrath's team at DLRP Imagineering are doing. It doesn't mean it is being anything more than considered.
Originally Posted By u k fan I think a great idea for an expansion area at WDS would be to base an area around that popular movie genre the Western. Just think, it could be themed around an old mining town and the main attraction could be a mine train going out of control. I think it sounds great! Oh, wait a minute....!!!
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 "(although it is slightly longer at Epcot)?" Huh? It's longer? What was added? Or was the film slowed down a bit or something??
