Originally Posted By bhb007 Thanks for the update. I was initially iffy on this park, but it actually seems sorta cool. Way more exciting than MGM was when it opened up. Contrary to popular belief, nice concepts can be created on (relatively) modest budgets. Only thing I don't know about is the "Catastrophe Canyon" tram tour. Am the only one out there that is not particularly amused by that? It's not all that great at MGM and I wonder why they bothered to include it here. Anyway, looks like a cool enough park and enough to get me to book two nights instead of one the next time I'm at DLP (probably their goal in the first place).

Originally Posted By leemac As a far as I am aware, Canyon is identical. It is still a popular attraction as MGM and an integral part of the attraction. Years ago, there were rumors of a re-theme to Journey to the Center of the Earth as Disney was planning a huge spectacular remake. However, the project stalled with budget concerns after Armaggedon. Maybe one day, it will be resurrected.
