I can say that there was a major gathering of Disney Co. execs (including ABC leadership)this week at WDW ... they paid particular attention to a lot of real estate at the Park About To Formerly Be Known as The Disney-MGM Studios. I also would expect to see a new nighttime parade in the MK for its 40th anniversary with SpectroTragic being shipped to some other Disney resort. But at this point, I can't confirm anything so that's all you're getting. I'm not Al Lutz. I report things I know to be true (at the time at least). Right now, I don't know any more. Oh, but here's one very, very, very strong rumor I PRAY isn't going to happen, but I believe it will and it has nothing to do with WDW: Woody and Buzz on Broadway. (I know, try to control the vomit reflex.)

I feel sorry for HKDL getting SpectroTragic!

Originally Posted By cmash95 ok I happen to like spectromagic, it's just dated. but it's still better than the electrical parade, in my opinion.

Originally Posted By Rosso11 I posted that over at WDWMagic. It was interesting how that topic appeared over there the day after Spirit first reported it here.

I have gotten very bored over there. I don't have as much time for online Disney fun and I'd rather spend it here! I REALLY don't know what the Japan attraction is. REALLY! I just know it is big. I know Joe Rohde has done work on it. And I know they're keeping this quite secretive ... as opposed to the raft ride for Canada. Now, would one of you minions be kind enough to bring me the remote? ... And a Bloody Mary too! (spicy, the way I like 'em)
Originally Posted By Skellington88 So they are working on a raft ride for canada and an attraction for Japan? I doubt they will greenlight both although would be interesting.
Originally Posted By jkayjs <<... And a Bloody Mary too! (spicy, the way I like 'em)>> Is that with or without celery Spirit dear.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^Without. I actually love veggies, but hate celery ... too stringy. Boy, I could go for a Bloody Mary (or three) right now.
