Originally Posted By kpwdwfan It's good to see that WDW is adding new attractions to the parks, but now MGM will have another empty space. Isn't it time to start adding new attractions without taking something away. The Hunchback set and Superstar Television are still empty and now Millionaire is gone. MGM is starting to look more and more like a 1/2 day park.

Originally Posted By kpwdwfan MGM is in dire need of some new attractions. In my opinion, LMA is a great addition to the park but most attractions close well before the park closes which makes he lines at the other attractons extra long. LMA at night would be great and would bring the back part of the park to life again.

Originally Posted By ChiMike If Midway Madness ends up being what the handful of people have said it is going to be people will be like "Millionaire, what?" I question WDI's lengthy timetables for most of what they do, considering it took a year in the 50's to build Disneyland. Something where they didn't have an entire legacy to look back to. Or how about TL'59's timetable? Removal of existing items like Viewliner, Addition of Matterhorn, Monorail, Subs, and a new Autopia in roughly 15 months. And that's being generous. So as much as I snicker at the amount of time WDI feels it MUST have to do these ho-hum projects I do think Midway Mania will be a step up for MGM. Based off of what has been going around.
Originally Posted By kpwdwfan Don't get me wrong, I think Midway Madness has the potential to help the problems currently plaging MGM but isn't about time to add something without taking something away. That park needs a lot of help, especially at night. Many of the attractions close by 7:00 or 8:00p.m. leaving very little to do there. Let's not get started on Sounds Dangerous and the depleted Backstage Tour.

Originally Posted By ChiMike And I agree too, about closing something before the new item is ready, but in this case there really is no other way. I can't blame Disney for this. It should be worth it in the end.
