Laugh Floor Opening and the Laugh Floor Arguement

Just found this on disneyworld.com,

Explore a brilliant array of dynamic colors, pleasant aromas and musical sounds at the Epcot® International Flower and Garden Festival. Plan or extend your vacation past Memorial Day weekend and enjoy the magical new attraction, Monsters, Inc. Comedy Club**. Dare to believe in magic as The Year of a Million Dreams celebration continues.

Could this mean that it is opening after Memorial Day?

With this info in mind, do you think it will be under previews and/or soft openings during the last week of april?

Every one of my friends in the company has given me pretty negative reviews. Tweaking the show still hasn't worked...

Anyone up for an interactive version of the Timekeeper?

It could be called "Time Talk with the Timekeeper and Nine-Eye." :D
(And I am serious with this suggestion. Robin William's character had so much depth that went unexplored. A chance to have a conversation with him would have been insane!

As of THIS week, previews of the show were getting all "Very good" and "great" reactions from the crowd. No matter how many times I post this, no one seems to listen. If it was still getting poor reviews, I would tell everyone. But I've tried to see the show two times every week, and that's the truth. Like it or not.

How often do they do test shows?

Im hoping for a soft opening or test spring break timeframe while im there. I wish they would do something with the timekeeper over at Epcot where it would fit in great. Hint to Siemens...

They don't do it on weekends and for the best chance to get in, wait around from 10 to 5. If they're doing it, it will happen a few times a day. They've been doing it alot, so you have a good chance to get in if you don't mind sitting around. But, as always, it may or may not happen.

Good work finding this! I assume that would be a good time to hold an opening press event!

I also have a bad feeling about this, I dont know what it is, but it just seems like from what Ive read that this thing is gonna suck. It already seemed like a bad idea from the jump, with it not fitting in with tomorrowlands theme and all, I hope most of us including myself is wrong though.

went to it today and is was really bad. a little heads up, every time i have went, there has been one at 3:30pm, so go around then. the show's idea is really good, but the lack of being not funny, and not alot of special effects hurt the show. Its going to take alot to fix it. The end of the show is the worst. All mike does is tell a joke and then adds thats all and smoke comes out of the laugh tank. :mad: :confused: :(

I would love it if that happened! I loved TK! I think Disney made a mistake through this concept out. Robin Williams > Monsters Inc. That's not to say that I don't like Monsters Inc, I love it. I just don't like the concept of this show. I can hear the "jokes" this show tells anywhere. I don't need to go to MK to hear jokes. Now traveling on a time machine with the voice of Robin Williams being heard constantly, I can't do that anywhere.

What I don't get is why Disney acted so secretive when designing this. They made it sound like this would be revolutionary and kept it behind closed doors for a long amount of time. Just to find out that it's a Turtle Talk type of attraction offering a little to none unique experience at MK. I'm not saying that people won't have a good time, but that something better could have gone there.

At least we still have CoP. One of the last original story telling attractions in Tomorrowland. After that's gone, Tomorrowland will officially be known as the SciFi Fantasyland.

I hope you're right and they have completely turned this thing around and people just haven't seen the "good version" yet... If not, you might want to be prepared to eat a little crow. :lol: :wave:

What? I've never said that! I've never said that there's a "good version" and "bad version". I mean, that quote has nothing to do with what your're saying.
If you people would rather believe your....um...."gut feeling" that you claim that It's the worst thing everblahblahblah, go ahead but here are the REAL facts, which IMHO are much better than your "true facts" how that about three people said that it wasn't funny and didn't have a detailed queue. (I thought those were opinons, but I guess I don't know better...) Here's a list of crowd reactions from all of my previews of the shows I've seen. I've tried to do it more then once every week to give updates on crowd feedback here, but I quickly found out the only feedback alot of you will take is "IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER!" and "Man, that stitch ride is awful!" (You guys tend to drift over there alot!)

First show-Early Jan.07
First draft of script, animation very choppy, humor ok, but very slow.
very bad- under about ten people.
not very good-around twenty people
alright- most of the theatre.
very good- around twenty people.
great- about five or six people.
My reaction. Thought waiting area and theatre were alright, but show needed alot of work.

Next show-Mid Jan.07
Animation was better, but still choppy.Lots of great new acts. This was after the announcement of it being delayed. Show was MUCH better, and very funny.
very bad-about five people
not very good-about ten people
alright-around ten people
very good-most of theatre
great-more then twenty people
Other show same day- WDI preview, no survey at end of show, but crowd seemed to enjoy the show very much.

Mid Jan.07 shows afterward-
Animation gets better, Pre-show lighting redone to be softer, and the lighting becomes timed with the pre-show. Text service off and on. They continue getting good reaction from last show I mentioned, but try new scripts at same time to compare. Crowd's only real gripe was that there was not enough Roz.
very bad-always under five people
not very good-under five people
alright-always around twenty people.
very good- above 100 people
great-most of the theatre

Last show seen-Feb. 07
Animation now perfect, WDI continues to try new things, and add things outside and inside the building.
very bad- one person. (Who was a little kid, this got alot of laughs from the crowd as well as from the Imagineer.)
not very good- about for people towards the front of the theatre.
alright- under ten people
very good-above 100 people
great-most of theatre

That's what I've seen. You can say that the crowd was being nice, but what can you do? Read they're minds? The Imagineers always ask to be honest, and don't tell the crowd they're getting fastpasses until after the survey. So that's the most honest account of what the general guests are thinking of the show in it's current state. Take it or leave it, but that's how it is. Oh, and you need to work on your witty comments, beacuse that one was awful.




awful.

I just got back from testing this about three days ago and the majority of the people in my group thought it was "just okay" I thought it was really bad.... again great concept... awful execution. There is very little story telling here and almost no depth to the experience. Very little special effects and the interactive aspect just isnt entertaining enough to stand on its on. The attraction needs something more to be impressive. I think turtle talk works because its a small intimate attraction and people arent expecting it to be a big deal.... this is marketed from the time you walk inside as a big deal and when you get to the theatre it's just kinda lousy. When the imagineer asked if people would expect to see a completely different version of the show if they came back...nearly everyone said yes....most people were not all that thrilled by it.... and there were no real laughs only little chuckles ..... I am almost positive this has turned into another Stitch, its just not a good attraction.... we are seeing this allot from WDI theese days... Timekeeper was just a better attraction.... c'mon WDI.... come up with some of your own good stories again...you do such a great job.... go back to detail and stories and stop trying to get animated features to do all the work for you... there is so much more to Disney than that..... prove it!
