Aladdin is the best Disney show I've ever seen. I try to see it every day I'm at the Disneyland resort.
Does anyone know if the carpet is flying again?

Its time for the Aladdin show to go... I think a broadway level BatB (DLR has no Beauty and the Beast attractions) or Tangled (No Disney resort has a Tangled attraction yet...) show would be amazing. Nothing Pixar related please, there is enough Pixar in the parks at the moment. I would say a Lion King show but its still on broadway.

As of July, it was not flying. I feel like we'd have heard about it from other sites if it had been reinstated into the show. Hope it's soon, that scene is pretty poor without it.

That's a "wow" moment for several kids, I hope it's put back but I suspect it's an OSHA issue

Kids AND adults. It was beautiful. As I hear it from some friends of mine in the show, the stunt Jasmine made a balance check mistake and caused the weight to overturn the carpet. It is designed to stop and hold in the performers (which it did), and the way I hear it, was NOT a mechanical failure. However, the performer caused enough of a stir to cause them to cut the scene indefinitely. Even though, apparently, she is hired specifically to do the flying stunt and was her mistake.
Mind you, there are two people in that carpet, and nobody mentions stunt Aladdin's role in it. So this could very well just be gossip among stage performers, which we are VERY apt to do without much factual basis. Just a disclaimer.

Yes, I WOULD love to see Aladdin replacing VOTLM. It's such a great show from what I seen, and would be perfect! I'm really excited for Tangled too! 
Hope this is true!

Aladdin needs a much larger theater to truly work. Of the existing theaters, the Premier Theater is probably best equipped, but even that would require major modifications for a direct lift.Yes, I WOULD love to see Aladdin replacing VOTLM.

How about a TRON inspired show for DHS? What would that look like in the Premier Theater?

Is there any update on the shows for DHS? Is there still plans to replace BatB and VOTLM in the near future? Is it being held up by the other expansion plans so it needs to be coordinated?
It seemed like the hot rumors were of either a Tangled or PatF show going into the Theater of the Stars. And the Phineas & Ferb rumor seems to have died out -- is it because the Muppets are going into that space again?
I'm a little surprised these shows have not been closed yet and replaced given the presence of the two franchises in New Fantasyland and just for the purposes of hyping up some new experiences for DHS.

You are not the only one who doesn't get all the hype for the Aladdin show, I didn't feel any sort of love for that show. Seen it a couple of times, don't have to see it again, and really hope we don't see it end up in Florida. And as for the Genie trying to be a stand up comic by using modern day references in the show, it comes off tacky.

Ironic, since that's exactly how Genie is in the film version of Aladdin.

Aladdin at DCA is basically a British Pantomime without the dame character ... and in my view as I saw it for the first time a couple of days ago ... was a great way of keeping the show fresh #UglySultan

The Aladdin show is light years better than any stage show at WDW.
I see it every time I visit Cali...it's a must do!

I don't get it. The effects are cheap and laughably bad (the snake makes me LOL everytime). The script is awful. The staging is utterly senseless. How does Aladdin teleport? How does he just jump and fly across the marketplace? Why do they use two sets of voices during Whole New World? Why do they step off of the carpet and walk around on the clouds halfway through the song? When did all these characters acquire superpowers?
And those TERRIFYING genie masks. Good Lord.
The same director helmed the horrifying Little Mermaid musical on Broadway, and we all know how that went.
