D23 - No Big Theme Park Announcements?

I'll give Al all the credit he deserves when it comes to DL.
But as for WDW rumors, I think "wait and see" is probably the safer route to take....

How is it not in your top 5, there aren't even that many attractions in that park :lol:

Other members can probably comment on this better but one of them was some sort of David Copperfield attraction in the then-MGM Studios. There was a billboard outside the park entrance advertising it for the longest time.

________ Tracy crimestoppers, Muppet Movie Ride, Roger Rabbit simulator all at the Studios for three that would have majorly changed the look of the Studios as we know it today.

Haha Family Guy PTV episode anyone? ftw
The David Copperfield venue was actually a restaurant. IIRC, it was going to be built right around where the Indiana Jones store is currently. Supposedly, it was going to feature illusions that would materialize from time to time in different areas of the restaurant while you were eating. I think I read somewhere that they came to the conclusion that the scope of the project was just simply going to cost too much money.
Interestingly, Copperfield went ahead and bought his own island, and built an ultra-exclusive resort that seems to be along the same idea.

Yeah, that's why I'm really interested to see what Shanghai is getting.

I had read that it was to be located behind the Theater of the Stars off the path to Fantasmic, but that could be wrong.

Imagine if it would have been built how dated it would be now. Everything happened for good reason.

Ever been to Tomorrowland?
That is exactly what I mean. But I was thinking more along the lines of Epcot. Disney tends to not deal well with things of this nature.
