hi

i'll try to explain you about the ride at The Walt-Disney Studios park .

For the Capacity of the ride you have Two Preshow rooms , it's the same preshow for the both rooms . Inside the preshow Mickael Clark Dancan explains to the audience what about the Special Effects and then what's inside the Main Show .

The Preshow is about 15mn and then you get inside the Main Show . Inside this Main you are on a set inside the MIR Station in the Space , The Attractionis based from the Movie's Scene .

Inside This room you can see and feel the Fire and the wind . I can compare the Ride to Twister at Universal Studios Florida and Backdraft at Universal Studios Hollywod .

Its actually a very technologically advanced ride. After an audience participation preshow you enter one of 2 identical `theatres` - a circular catwalk around the central core, with banks of computer monitors and lights all around - think a circular control room. The computer begins to track meteorites on the screens, then the alarms go off. The lighting changes, the station gets hit and a series of very good fx begins - SPOILERS COMMING UP - jets of smoke and air shoot out from the wall, the floor grates, the ceiling, pipes drop loose from above, a corridor leading off the set fills with (real) fire and a meteor hits the opposite side of the room, causing an air leak - and all the smoke begins to get sucked out until the emmergency door is shut. The room atmosphere actually does get sucked out - as the air pressure is increased slightly anything airborne leaves via the only unsealed exit - this hole, complete with smoke and sparks. Finally, the central core in the centre of the room literally explodes (VERY hot!) and you are squirted with water during a second central core explosion, as the floor drops a few inches and the lights go out!

Is there any chance this attraction would fit in the space currently occupied by the old Backstage Pass-Who Wants To Be A Millionare show building? We all know that WWTBAM is on the way out in a few years and this sounds like it would be a great addition to the MGM Studios.

Quite possibly - from aerial photos the building isn`t that big. Think of a preshow area two stories high (or less), about 30ft square, a connecting corridor system, the two identical chambers two stories high (or slightly more) no bigger than Alien Encounter / Stitch in Diameter, possibly smaller. Plus the backstage areas.
