How popular is Lost in other countries? I mean, if Disney were to build a WDW attraction, it should have appeal outside of the U.S. at the very least.
In 2006, a survey of twenty countries by Informa Telecoms and Media concluded that Lost was the second most popular TV show in those countries, after CSI: Miami. I don't know if a newer survey has been taken, but if the American ratings are any indication then things probably haven't changed much.
As much as I love LOST, believe me, I'm a big fan and will be in mourning the day the show ends, I just don't see it being a hit as an attraction. The show is ENDING! Why try to ressurect it after its gone? I realize its majorly popular TODAY, but how about tomorrow? How long would it take for them to revamp the island into the LOST theme or even an attraction? My guess is a while and by the time they were done, LOST will be forgotten.
There have been rumblings that Disney wants to turn Lost into a franchise. While the current series is ending, it's possible that another one will begin within the next few years. So while any future series might not be as popular as the present one, I doubt that Lost will be forgotten anytime soon.
