Originally Posted By jmuboy MGM is not that bad of a park. I'ma little concerned that there will eb 2 huge stunt shows there now. Disney World relaly needs to concider ridding itself of the 15 year old Indy Stunt show and adding an Indy Ride. I've said before I'd even take the Tokyo Disney Sea (not DL Paris) version of the Indy Coaster as a new attraction for this plot of ground. And please please please get rid of the Drew Carey Show and give us the Monster Sound Show back in its place.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 What will replace Who Wants to be a Millionaire???Ok,now that thats said I agree with the Monster Sound Show return(though I too like Sounds Dangerous).Also,though it will have two major stunt shows I dont think thats bad.Indy's older and will evntually be replaced.Now that the new stunt shows around,it has a replacement stunt show.And room for a new ride perhaps?I must say I love the Indy stunt show and never tire of it,its great every time,like new!I love MGM and look forward to my next trip their.Its just an excellent park getting better.

Originally Posted By mstaft As far as I'm concerned, the "here and now" stars of MGM's attractions don't hold a candle to the classic stars- or classically designed attractions.

Originally Posted By jmuboy I like the idea of Indy moving to DCA's backlot, although space is an issue. I do agree MGM needs more permanent headliners, which is why the Indy Caster to replace the Indy Stunt Show was suggested. Two stunt shows is just TOO redundant, especially when one of them is 15 years old.

Originally Posted By jmuboy agree, the coaster makes more sense since the exact same track layout is in operation at DAK's DINOSAUR ride. Plus, this is the Disney World of the 21st century. The coaster is wayyyy cheaper and will be the ride most likly built.

Originally Posted By WDW1974 I still enjoy Great Movie Ride, but I view it as a relic of sorts. It fit perfectly with the 1989 Disney-MGM Studios when there was a cohesive theme for the park ... now there's just a lot of stuff there and most of it isn't very good. I think the best word to describe the park is 'mishmash' because it looks like a baby threw his food of his chair and a bunch of different stuff landed all over ... just a mess. And, IMHO, MGM is a bad park ... at least by Disney's standards. I'd much rather be at DCA!
Originally Posted By jmuboy rather be at DCA than MGM.....wow. I like DCA, but MGM is way better. Granted, MGM is the most "confused" and poorly planned out park at WDW. Maybe that adds to the chaotic studio feel of the place.
Originally Posted By pitapan16 Lol,MGM is not a bad park at all.I at least equal it to the other parks and can tell you for a fact that it is many people's favorite park overall.Yes,I agree it's layout is that of a studio, and there for it is scattered.That does not bother me though,the other 3 have a different flow so its nice to have somthing unique.And how can you say you'd rather be at DCA!?Are you serious,I guess everyone has their own opinion but geeze!Also,I do agree the park could use some more "rides".
Originally Posted By WDW1974 <<rather be at DCA than MGM.....wow. I like DCA, but MGM is way better. >> That's your opinion. I disagree. Now, if you are comparing the 1989 version of MGM or even the 1994 version, I would agree. Today's version better than DCA? Not to me. And not by a long shot. <<Granted, MGM is the most "confused" and poorly planned out park at WDW. Maybe that adds to the chaotic studio feel of the place.>> No, it adds to the lousy park feel of the place. Unlike the other Disney parks in Florida, I feel that MGM is lacking something ... a cohesive theme, attractions other than a giant hat ... a soul. It's the park I most miss on WDW visits and I live a short few hours away ...
