Originally Posted By brotherdave I, too, am really surprised that the old SuperStar TV theatre hasn't been used for some sort of show by now! Also, the old Pocahontas/Hunchback theatre off the Streets of America has sat vacant for almost 5 years now, as well. What's the deal with either of these venues? (Well, at least Sounds Dangerous is much better than another vacant theatre!)

High cost...no measurable draw to the park equals...closed attraction and empty building. Bean counters have a tunnel vision outlook on business. They cannot visualize that Disney Parks are the sum total of its attractions. One thing alone does not make the experience redoable. It's not hard to imagine, however, that the show was very costly. There were more CM's there then at any other attraction I ever experienced. That was just the people I could see. The behind the scene people probably outnumbered the visable ones. Can I understand why they closed it? Yes! Do I think that it was a good idea to close it? No! It has been quite awhile since it closed so there are a number of visitors that don't even know it ever existed. They don't miss it. Those of us that enjoyed it, do.

We only go, now, if someone else wants to go there and invites us--or to eat at Prime Time Cafe since two of the waiters who work there are personal friends of ours.

Just a nice attraction.
