Mad T Party to close March 30

[Californian Elitist]

That was nothing like a rave.

Correct.

 

[Curious Constance]

That was nothing like a rave.

An actual rave in Disneyland could be quite cool. But it would have to be an after hours hard ticket event.

That was my point, yook. Nothing like an actual rave, but felt like it was trying to be one and felt really lame.

 

[Deleted member 107043]

It definitely was immulating the concept of a rave or underground party right down to the cheesy language they used to describe it.

 

[Phroobar]

No matter what dance party they setup there, it must always include Flynn's arcade in the back. That should have been permanent thing.

 

[Californian Elitist]

The marshmallow snow monster meet and greet was probably the only interesting thing that came from FTN. The rest was just another dance party with another story.

I was a little intrigued by that Marshmallow puppet. Everything else was beyond lame, including the ice sculptures.

And Marshmallow didn't even make it to the end of the run before being cut. FTN was the actual worst.

Yeah, what happened to the puppet? Not that I necessarily care, but I am curious as to where it went.

Definitely. Freeze the Night was beyond bad.

I just assumed they got rid of the Snow Rancor because people (especially kids) would constantly hang on it and get reprimanded by the cast members. I bumped into it and the whole thing moved?

From today's Mice Chat update from Dusty Sage:

"The on again, off again, nightly dance party with the Alice and Wonderland theme is going away again on March 30th. It leaves just in time for Food and Wine Festival to kick off. But we don’t think it will be gone for long. Another nightly party (which has been a staple since the launch of World of Color) is very likely to be announced soon."

Wasn't Glowfest designed to be a holding area for people waiting to see next WOC show?

 

[Curious Constance]

I had forgot about that, but that does ring a bell.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Wasn't Glowfest designed to be a holding area for people waiting to see next WOC show?

Yes, Glowfest was created as a "holding pen" for the throngs of people waiting for WOC. The demand for WOC has dampened significantly since then, but Mad T provides a draw on the opposite side of the park from WOC to create some balance.

I saw Dusty's remark about a replacement in the update today as Constance quoted above, but I haven't heard anything yet beyond a possible return of FTN to coincide with the Frozen Live opening, which I hope doesn't happen because FTN sucked.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Freeze the Night was beyond horrible. They'd be foolish to bring it back.

 

[Curious Constance]

I'd prefer nothing to any variation of their dance parties.

@GiveMeTheMusic, did you see the comment at the end of the update about an interactive game themed to the Haunted Mansion in the works? Have you heard anything about that? Is that what that big thing that was installed in Fowler's Harbor is for?

The only thing I know of is the expensive Ghost Radio subscription box that has already been released and sold out. An actual interactive game for HM would be cool though!

WDI R&D, the same people who developed The Optimist alternate-reality game that I loved, is working on the Haunted Mansion thing. It should be very fun for the people lucky enough to be one of the 999 if it'll be as good as Optimist.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Oh God I hope they bring back Freeze the Night!

 

[Phroobar]

With budget cuts from the Shanghai debacle, I'd be surprised if there will be another nighttime dance party in the near future. Knowing Disney, they will probably leave all that stuff there to rot.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Why isn't there a Star Wars dance party with the cantina serving drinks, DJ Darth Vader, Tauntauns roaming around and a Rebel band?

 

[Phroobar]

Good idea! Disney make it so.
