Just think once they redo Indy, Star Tours and GMR and with the new parade, the Stunt Show, TOT and RnRC,and Fantasmic they will never be able to get guest to leave.

Last summer, my group was sooo unenspired by this park and a stunt show doesnt help. Seeing Indy once was enough for me, and I love Indy. I am sure this will be the same, even if it is a great show.

Redo Star Tours=Eisner crawling on his knees to Lucas and apologizing for being born. Redo GMR=put giant hat in front so folks won't notice when we rip out the costly AA's and sets for a thrill ride. And new parade? When is MGM getting a new parade. the last one was in 2001.
Originally Posted By Labuda "I doubt if I will even go there upon my next WDW trip." See, I look at the Stunt show as something new to keep me occupied for even more time in the studios. Instead of just blowing time at RnRC waiting for my ToT Fast Pass, I can also go see a new show at least once. And, from what I hear about the show from Davewasbaloo, I may REALLY enjoy the car stunt show.

About the same chance as all you hav above...unless you have some master plan that no one else in the world has -- you are waaaaayyyy off base with what is coming. Do I want to see this show - yes. WIll it be a repeatable show, even as much as Indy is ? - I hope so. Is there a new parade, new Star Tours update ( only one so far the gift shop ) - , updating parts of GMR ? instead of gutting it for some 90 second thrill ride crap, etc -- No. Whatever you are on, I'll take some please. This is way beyond rose colored glasses. If dreaming was reality, we'd all have what we want there, unfortunately that is simply not the case. I'd take ONE of those in writing from mgmt right now and be happy.

To answer the questions will we watch it over and over???? think about it this way, The cars are real the speeds are real and the drivers are real people....People make mistakes sometimes.When we are driving the adrenaline is still there so "things do happen" Thats fun!!!!

Originally Posted By planodisney evo3, I appreciate that everything is real, but so is Nascar and you couldnt pay me to sit watch a race. I just dont find that kind of stuff interesting. I go to Disney to be agasp at all of the creativeness and to see fantasy come to life. I dont care about watching things crash and go boom.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN In all fairness.. the stunt show is the only show worth seeing at WDSP, so I am looking forward to it. The downside is all the noise around the NYC street when they show is on. >>I go to Disney to be agasp at all of the creativeness and to see fantasy come to life.

TOT. But thats only my opinion.
Originally Posted By jmuboy I am not a huge stunt show fan. Indy is great, but it just isn't my thing. But it is still (was) a great attraction in it heyday. The new Motors Action Show sounds great too. It gets high praise from all who have seen it. Like Soarin', the Stunt Show has a proven track record and should be a real crowd pleaser. Now, if only we could get Disney to retire Indy's Stundt show and add...... Hmm, an Indy ride. Or maybe a War of The Worlds ride (if that new Touchstone release is a hit).
Originally Posted By brick74 I might be mistaken, but War of the Worlds isn't a Touchstone release. Spielberg's directing it. I'd say that puts the chances of seeing anything associated with it in a Disney park somewhere between slim and none.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 Eisner can't negotiate with Lucas...what are Mr Mouse's chances with Spielberg -- zippo !
Originally Posted By evo3 Well I hope when you folks go there you'll give the stunt show a chance... As far as the noise.....YEP it's noisy!!! Have fun.
Originally Posted By -SIR- It seems like the show has a good story to back it up as well as some very cool effects and even a few familiar Charactors like Herbie the love bug...(probably just to back the upcoming movie) I would'nt say this is just a stunt show... This is a stunt show disney style which i think will be pretty darn good... we'll see soon
Originally Posted By evo3 PLANODISNEY .. next time you hear of a Nascar race where they drive on two wheels and a car jumps from a second story window and lands in the back of truck, PLEASE let me know... I understand.... this stuff really isn't for everyone.I think I'm so passionate about it because of my involvement with the project... I'm sure some,maybe 1 or 2 people will walk away from it saying"HHmmmmm OK" ....

I've seen many movie sets, but this thing is just mammoth ... hope the movie rocks.
