I kind of mentioned this is in the original AI post, but it got lost in the shuffle of the flaming of each other's comments. But I really wonder if anyone else feels the way I do.
First off, not a watcher of the show. I think reality shows have been the fall of TV. Just not my cup of tea. To each his own, if you like it fine. That being said, this is how I feel about this Attraction and the impact on the studios.
Couple of things, if I remember correctly when the studios was young, didn't they film Star Search there for a season. I know I have an old video and I am sure that was one the shows that was in production then. So at least the show kind of recreates the idea of a "Studio."
With that said, let me get to the meat and potato of my comment. This is a cheap way to replace an empty studio. Many people have said that it will have a short lifespan. Someone else said that when Simon is done with the show he will leave. So roughly give the show 2-4 more years of above average ratings. I have been saying for years, this season will be the downfall of the show, and again and again it has proven me wrong. So this thing is so dang popular this is a no brainer.
I feel when this show opens, it will be huge. I can see a separate entrance in the morning for people who want to see the American Idol show. I can see all fast passes gone by 9:15. During Spring break, summer, Pop Warner, the studios will be a zoo full of college and teenage kids who want to get that shot on the show. I picture Orlando locals coming everyday to try to get the exclusive tryout. I just see the park that needs a spike in attendance get one. Even if for two or three years, that show will pack them in.
Now imagine, DHS is the hottest Disney park because of this show..Can't you see stuff that has been rumored finally get the greenlight? Monsters Door attraction, Indy Coaster, renovate Great Movie, new Star Tours..etc. One or more of the things we have wanted may come true because of the increased attendance due to a show that the purists dislike. I am fine with that. I might go see the show, but there is no way I will wait more than a half hour for it. But there will be families that will make a trip to the studios just to see this show and possible get a child on the show.
And you know that next season they will bring in Paula, Randy, Simon, and Ryan and have one of their tryouts at DHS. What great synergy.
Does anyone agree with me? I am not a fan, and I think it really lacks creativity, but it gives me hope to get some attractions we have wanted for a while.
