The show is still one of the most popular on TV. now, next season will tell us if it remains that way, but for now I wouldn't call it a waste. As it stands, I'd rather have something in the building than the emptiness that preceded it. The attraction just isn't my cup of tea. It's got terrific production values and is really top notch.

Yep, I should have been more specific. MetLifes contract gave them exclusive use of the simulator technology for one year at WDW. My point about Toy Story Mania is...they are not doing any more filming. You have an empty soundstage. You can add another side to the existing Toy Story Mania and double its capacity. The attraction is popular and could really use that additional capacity.
