New Show coming to DHS?

[Gringrinngghost]

Behind the Thrills is reporting through an Periscope video that Disney has started sound testing for a new projection show called "Disney Movie Magic". They are saying that it will start before Star Wars' firework show.

They sure do love those projection shows.

What's your point? It never fails on this board. A rumor of a possible new addition is met immediately with sarcasm and negativity.

I think of it like anything, too much of a good thing can also be bad. If the Tree of Life Awakenings were the only projection show in town it would be this wow, amazing must watch addition to the parks night time entertainment but IMO it's just another projection show like the ones I see at MK and even already at DHS with Star Wars fireworks. I personally prefer to keep things as individualistic to each park as possible.

So if tomorrow they announce a brand new Mount Fuji Roller Coaster coming to Epcot, you're going to complain that it's inappropriate because there are already roller coasters in the other three parks? Because that's exactly the argument you're making.

I think that would be a pretty cool show. Why not use their other movie properties in a show. I think Hollywood Studios is the best place for this. Maybe it will keep these properties out of the other parks. Also, I love the Rocketeer. It is one of my favorite Disney movies.

This has been testing for a few weeks now, I'm surprised we haven't heard an opening date. With movie ride on the chopping block I'm fine with any celebration of movies in this park.

I'm always for additions - people can choose to watch it or not.

I like the fact it would be one more option for families to be entertained during their trip.

I actually support having a night time projection show at DHS since they do at MK and AK already. I do have a problem with the spacing between Fantasmic and the Star Wars Firework show and this would make it worse.

Fantasmic starts 30 minutes before the Star War fireworks show beginnings the way it is currently. I would think doing a projection show would decrease the amount of guests wanting to rush from Fantasmic to Star Wars Fireworks shows by having guests skip Fantasmic or leave Fantasmic very early.

The awakenings is a GREAT use of projection.

Does Disney really intend for you to do both? I was always under the impression that you were kind of "supposed" to pick one or the other.

I've seen live Disney streamings that showed people trying to do both on the same night. I've seen them miss the final scene of the fantasmic show matter of fact. They are not the only ones I've seen this type of behavior. The live streamings show people not part of the streaming doing the same thing.

In February, I'd say about half the crowd for Fantasmic left as soon as the boat came out with all the characters to go get a spot for Star Wars. I really don't understand why they schedule those quite as close as they do.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

No doubt it is done exceptionally well. The show itself is just boring. "oh look, a little deer playing in forest, oh em gee!!"

I don't really think of the Tree of Life awakening as a show. It's just a thing that happens that's kind of neat.

My cats food bowl is projection mapping. He gets upset when he cant actually eat it. Then i give him real food.

I agree. I feel like awakening is more of an experience and promotes the atmosphere of the park. I don't see it as a full blown show.

"If we can tick all our check boxes, it'll be hit with guests!!! Old dead guy reference? Check. Old movie stuff? Check. New movie stuff? Check. Marvel inclusion? Check. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a hit on our hands, let's do it!"

Not sure how I feel about projection-only shows like this. I mean, the projection stuff is cool, but to me, they have the feel of "let's fool hoards of guests into thinking they are having a good time while keeping them away from the limited number of rides in DHS".

 

[Notes from Neverland]

How can anyone really be upset with an offering which, if the rumor is true, simply adds more to see and isn't supposed to replace anything? In the case of Hollywood Studios, more is more.
