Article about a Lost attraction

[Phonedave]

I think a ride based on the original A Team would be incredibly popular.

Well maybe for you (and me). I am going to guess you grew up with the A-TEAM on TV.

As any 16 y/o or younger today about the A-Team and you will get blank stares. (unless they saw that Family Guy episode)

I must echo the desire to have Lost on Discovery Island, for two reasons:

1) It'd be fun to freak other people out by moving the Island across the World.

2) It'd be nice to time-jump into Walt Disney Worlds past about twenty-thirty years.

I so can not wait for A-Team. All I ask is that they include the exact opening intro.
:lol:

Finally, I'd love to see something done with Lost in the parks. But Disney doesn't and it's squandered the years when it would have made the most sense. I happen to know a few folks who are VERY involved in Lost, both behind the camera and in front. I have talked to them at length about a Lost attraction for the parks and the responses have been the same ''it would be very cool ... and I'm surprised that no one from Disney has ever talked to me/us''.

Do you really?! So cool! Who do you know actor-wise?


Does anyone else see how they might be able to spin Lost into the Universe of Energy Pavillion?

This is the difference between MK and Disneyland.

Magic Kingdom does not need Muppets in the parade, NBC HM overlays, Roger Rabbit, or any other perk.

There are two brands that belong in Magic Kingdom.


Disney and Americana.


That is it. There is plenty to go aroud and fill a park right there. Anything else is unnecessary.

Disneyland is a totally different animal though. They put a swimming pool in on Main Street. They have had countless bands play. Lindsay Lohan got a private birthday party there. It is used as a promotion center just like Rockafeller Center in New York for NBC.

Not MK though.

Trailer coming this weekend.

Technically if you have some sorta Josh Holloway animatronic, it'd still be a "Tom Sawyer Island"...

//Too subtle?

That's the inherent problem with the show - the inability to attract a new audience. If you haven't seen it from the beginning (like me) or have enough of a life that you can't spend 3 weeks of off time catching up on past episodes (like me), then it's a waste a time. Trust me, I get just as annoyed watching the show as you get with me telling you I don't like it.

I'm sorry, but while I understand 100% what you're saying my only response would be what I told a young friend I just got hooked on said show.

Don't start watching it now (well, this was last season). There is absolutely no way this show can be watched and appreciated except from Day 1, which is when I began watching.

You need to go back and start watching from the start or the show can be dense to incomprehensible. You also need to excuse some of the episodes from Season 3 that were described as '$hitty' by Carlton and Damon in this week's Hollywood Reporter interview on Season 6.

I understand where you are coming from, though. But sadly that's why we get so much crap like all the CSI-type proceduruals. Folks only want to tune in every now and then and don't want to make the type of committment Lost requires.

USA Today named it the best TV show of the last decade. I agree.

I have met most of the cast. I personally know two of the actors. I'd rather not say who. It might scare them if they knew I wasted time posting on a Disney fan site!!!

They can't. They won't. ... Well, not until the Fantastic Four take over the Imagination Institute.

Um ... lemme try this one ... you mean one place is stale and has the magic sucked out of it piece by piece, year by year ... and the other is DL!

Perk?

Seriously. You are joking, right?

He's so modest....

I'll spill the beans since '74 won't. I have it on good authority he's very close to Nikki and Paulo.

 

[wickedsoccer22]

I do wish they would at least sell LOST merchandise at Hollywood Studios. Only things LOST there are the dvds.. yeah I can get that at Walmart.

Are you pulling my leg? Aside for Disney, Lost is basically my life. Autograph? :lookaroun I can be your nephew for a day who really is a big fan of Lost and just so happens to be a huge fan of (insert name 1 of lost actor you know) and (insert name 2 of Lost actor you know).

They can't. They won't. ... Well, not until the Fantastic Four take over the Imagination Institute.

Dude, that retheme isn't until after Silver Surfer takes over Mission Space.

I'm only 18 so I didn't really grow up with them and hadn't really seen the show till the past couple of years, although before then I still had some knowledge of the A Team somehow.I'd say about 3/5 people would recognise Mr T and be able to at least tell you that he was that guy out the A Team.

And I think a Lost attraction could really work if it were on the premise of the Dharma Initiative, you are involved at one of the stations and then boom something goes wrong leading to a thrilling adventure with Jack, Locke, The Others etc. I think something along those lines could be accessable enough to 'outsiders' of the show.

The thing is, although I make committments to many things in my life (Family members, fraternal organizations, charity groups, government bodies) a TV show is just something that I don't make a committment to.

[MousDad]

^ Yea, I'm anti-"commitment television" myself. I like the old school formula of a single, self-contained, well-crafted television episode.

Too hard to catch up on past episodes. Too frustrating to get into a series for a season only to have it cancelled before there's any plot resolution. (Invasion, anyone?).

All these new suspense-based "commitment series" are just today's Dallas and Dynasty.

(hides ladle :lookaroun)

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but there is another article about a lost attraction not involving TSI. It says it would use KUKA technology.

:lol: That is quite the good analogy. Though I like a good, linear story, I don't turn on the TV for that EVERYTIME.
