"Lone Ranger Sneak Preview" at DHS

[wild01ride]

This morning I was double-checking Park Hours for our trip coming up at the end of this week and noticed that DHS lists "Lone Ranger Sneak Preview" as an "Atmosphere" event taking place every half-hour throughout the day.

I'm wondering if this is going to be a looping extended trailer shown on the stage/screen in front of the hat??
Anyhow, it should be fun - even after seeing the trailer multiple times, it's exciting to see again!

So far, there is no link to follow for any additional info.

I was definitely hoping that they would be doing something at WDW as well since the movie premiers at DLR this weekend.

Anyone have any more info?

Doh - sorry!
I searched in the Forums and didn't see anything. Didn't think to seach pure news.

Nevertheless, I'm interested to see the 10min. spot - should be a good tease until I get to the theater next month!

Wouldn't that be illegal because of the regulation that forbids studios from owning theaters?

Obviously not otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

Well, technically the theater is part of the theme park, so it's not a theater per say, I guess.

Nope. In the late 1980's regulations were loosened again and it is no longer illegal for studios to own theaters. That said, most studios don't want the hassle and there aren't many examples out there. However, Disney does own El Capitan in Los Angeles and controls all viewings there.

I was wondering because if a studio has a new format to test out (sound or visual), the way to really do this is to own the theater.

I'm wondering if people are actually waiting in line to watch a movie trailer. And, if they are, if they know what they're waiting in line for - and how they'll feel when they leave the theater.

"Wait, that's it?"

I would think that if they are consciously making the decision to wait in line for something titled "Sneak Preview", they might imagine that it is only a "Preview".

Pre-screenings are sometimes referred to Sneak Previews as well. So I could see how that could be confusing. Is this in the ruins of the Sounds Dangerous theater?

It's not just a trailer. I watched it and it was pretty good.

There's a behind the scenes segment. then they show a trailer. then they show almost an entire scene from the movie. It's pretty neat. about 20 minutes of material.

Right - especially this close to a movie's release.
