It is supposedly another interactive park game, but I could be wrong...

It's interactive features installed throughout Adventureland. OTPN had some photos of it.

This is getting a little bit weird with all these videogames through the parks.

It helps with crowd control! Keeps some folks out of the rides for awhile! JMHO!!

How so?
You know what would help with that, too? Add ride capacity - i.e. build a new ride.

Ya, but with Smell-O-Vision, humidity and loud Brazilians!
Can't get that on your X-Box.

I'm not sure how to answer this. Because one videogame experience within a theme park should be enough. Although I understand some people love it - I think it an incredible amount of money to be spending on an experience that attracts and appeals to a very specific demo.

How much $$ are we talking?

Ummm...alot. They aren't just shoving Nintendos in the windows.

So based on no actual dollar amount nor having experienced it, you're declaring this project both a waste of money and "weird"?

Oh Buck....I feel we have met before. Welcome back.
I believe this game is part of the overall "Next Gen" project at WDW. Perhaps another form of the Sorcerers game that has been put into place. So if you're looking for a dollar amount, the overall bill is roughly $1B and climbing.....

While I'm not a fan of the trend toward videogame expericences in the parks, the demographic management is playing to gets bigger every year. More and more people are glued to a phone or an iPad or tablet of some type. WDW management recognized this when they finally gave in and provided widely available free Wi-Fi a daecade after most other companies.
There are even toys for toddlers now that allow you to "child-proof" these devices so they are safe for children to play with them. So in the very near future that very specific demographic to which screen technology is appealing and attractive will grow by leaps and bounds.

I can crank up the heat and invite over the neighbors. But a pack of churros and I have the Magic Kingdom in my living room!
Although I hear prices for occupying my living room are expected to go up later this year...
