For all they hype it's getting, I doubt it.<<< It's something for the fans now, and something for synergistic for when the film comes out. I could see them waiting, honestly...but hey. If they want to plus the HM with him, I'm fine.

Yeah the outfit was a little out of place. But the show she put on was A+, she really had the crowd laughing. It was nice and different especially with all the smoke effects around the HM.

Originally Posted By Trinitys Ghost This update definitely leaves me curious as to what WDI will be doing to the cemetary area. Not just the interactive additions, but what is also stated in the link above (to Inside the Magic) that refers to expansion for handicapped access. Currently folks have two ways to get on the ride depending on how they can board. If the person is able to walk a short distance and stand for a few minutes, they are taken through the Servants Quarters to the foyer just prior to the stretch rooms. If they are not able to walk much, they are taken directly to the exit to load, which means they miss out on part of the show. If part of this update is meant to accomodate handicapped access, is that meant for all folks in that category, or for those who were initially loaded at exit? Since I have a handicapped parent who occasionally visits, I'll be interested to see what happens, and if it's an improvement for her (she aims for the Servant's Quarters entrance).

B) They would have announced it already. I mean they announced Splash was going down then a few weeks ago.
