I'm not much of a stage show fan regardless of the quality. I do not get to the parks too often and would much rather be riding the attractions!

I miss Return 2 Zero, aka Four for a Dollar. We haven't seen the show since they were let go.

I will agree that its watered down, i mean where is Maurice, there is no B&B without Maurice. They say "though a series of weird events Belle found herself in an enchanted castle"

Oh ho, I didn't know the BatB show was a watered-down version of the original...no wonder I found it so unimpressive (not to mention a bit shabby-looking). Darn. Wish I could have seen in during its better days...

25 minute show that has run for 20 years; as much of a classic that the movie is, do they even come close to filling an 1/8 of the 1500 seat theater?

I bet the main reason the theater even sees a large number of guests is because the park itself has such a limited offering of actual attractions. The show is... okay... but theres absolutely no justification for keeping it for 20 years.

It fits with DHS having more shows than the other parks and also is FF, but this show should have been removed a decade ago; dlp and dl removed theirs over 14 years ago.
A 1500 seat theater at wdw can be the site of alot of different shows and other uses. They need to just scrap the current form of the Theater of the Stars and make it smaller and permanent. I would spend money on another dinner show while at wdw if they had a traditional dinner theater. And during the day they could still run performances to maximize the space.

I went over the holidays and the theater was full. I hadn't seen the show the past few times I was at WDW but saw it this trip and enjoyed it (although it was rather cold the day I went).

Imagination! had a 50 minute wait on NYE, the busy season fills up even the weakest of offerings.

when i was there in late October the theater was probably about 3/4 full... in my opinion very boring show... but my wife loved it i guess b/c shes a big B&tB fan

it's never bad show when they are making it look better... sun bleached just isnt cutting it for how much money you have to pay to take a trip down there

Don't know why this has become a BatB thread, but for what it's worth, I didn't find the scaffolding overly distracting. It doesn't affect your view within the elevator and I found the Tower to be every bit as creepy as normal at night. What is clear from the small patches that have already been updated (you can tell which areas have been newly refurbished) is that the Tower will look fantastic when this is completed!

1/3 seems unrealistic because of the # of CM's required to operate ToT and RnR. So, I would argue you have less than a 1/3rd shot at BatB. Maybe 25% at best.
Yes, 2nd week of December we sat in with a 80-85% full theater. Could have walked in last minute, but would have been sitting in an upper corner.

Well when you mention a show that needs to be updated or retired, it will come up.

All this talk about bad show I thought this turned into an American Idol thread.
Seriousness though, this is really awesome that Tower of Terror is getting love. I am sure they want it to look ship shape for all the extra focal point attention it gets after Star Tours opens...it desperately needed it on its own

I can't mention that again, I got flamed like 500 comments ago.
