This was the sound stage and the story totally illustrated how you can follow an action with only sound and that visual is not needed. It'd be fine.... If it wasn't so stale. Time for some thing new! Imagine that. ;-) Agreed! What made the show bad a couple of times for me was that the CM's would announce numerous times that the theater was going to be totally dark of extended lengths of time and people with small children might want to consider if it was appropriate. They, in usual guest fashion, ignored them and as soon as the theater when dark the kids started to scream. The worse one was when they steadfastly refused to leave with a "screeching" child. It totally destroyed the show for everyone, even a fan like myself. There are places to teach your children to not be afraid of everything...this wasn't one of them.

MK needs to regain it's identity as a place for ALL Disney stories, but mostly those that are original. DHS can be synergy center, honestly.... And you can push up those constraints.

That's find with me as long as the tell a story with the attraction. For the DHS I was thinking more in line of attractions based on a broader sector of movies. Kind of like Star Tours without it injecting that it's just a assimilation of a movie. That's why I think a Indian Jones attraction would work well if the DHS would change in the way they are attempting to present the attractions there. (Settle down Hokie Skipper). It would still allow you to have attractions like The Great Movie Ride, but leaning more towards a tribute to movies in future attractions. You would just have to tweak the storyline a little actually.

They need to hold on to the Hollywood line of though, and run with it. The rest of the stuff gets dated, quick.
