I think it'd be fantastic and a way to keep the park busy and give people a reason to stay late besides fantasmic.

Position wise I think it'd be fantastic on streets of America. That way they can do the image projections on to all the buildings, transforming the area in to the "grid". If you don't know what that looked like Here's a video. Fast forward to 30 seconds.

Normally I notice in the evening besides during Christmas streets of America is DEAD. I think this would kick some life in to it. For more of an idea how a GIANT dance floor in the middle SOA would be watch this video. The DJ stage lighting is amazing! Especially the chandelier like light above the stage. Also there's laser man. He's super cool.

I'd be all over this. It'd be an easy way for Disney to bring some new nighttime entertainment to DHS, as well as some of the missing nightlife vibe back to WDW. And Streets of America seems like a perfect place for it.

For sure. Tomorrowland would have been my first choice, however they wouldn't be able to have the end of the line bar in the MK.

For others it's more than just a dance floor.

They have entertainment such as dancers, laser man (YouTube him), flynns arcade and a fantastic environment. Just looking at those buildings as light bikes fly by is incredible in its self.

Glow Fest was a wild, surprise hit for DCA in 2010 mainly because of the locals who frequented it. They replaced Glow Fest in October, 2010 with elecTRONica and it was even more popular, as they expanded the footprint and added extras like Flynn's Arcade, Laserman shows, and the dance competitions. But again, it was the locals that drove the vibe and drove the bar business for glowing cocktails.

I'm not sure WDW has the demographic to pull this off. They've abandoned Pleasure Island, and this is a Pleasure Island atmosphere and vibe inside a theme park.

Can WDW really pull this type of thing off? Would they even try? :confused:

But... Mad T Party, the 2012 replacement for elecTRONica opens at DCA in just 58 days!

I first thought Tomorrowland and I still think they could pull it off there and make it look AMAZING at night. But, the End of Line lounge/bar -- ALCOHOL. NO ALCOHOL in MK. DHS would be the next best place, maybe even pull it off better then Tland. I'd love to see ElecTRONica in WDW. It could definitely have its cult following and general crowd pleasing draw like it did in DCA.

When you see how many people mulch, sweat an shears pulls over. I think this can can grab way more. Laserman alone would be a huge draw. Plus how attractive those building projections are. It'll revive a area that's a ghost town after 7.

Mad T party looks interesting. Don't know if I'd like it. But I'll hold my judgement till I see it in July. Never was a fan of Alice.
