News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

[marni1971]

its really too bad they never just finished the original vision of making main street an actual neighborhood with multiple streets

That was Disneyland. Orlando was completed as planned.

This make sense. When we went to DLR and California Adv, the Aladdin Musical in Hyperion Theater was the last thing I wanted to do. But I was out voted and we went to it. What a great (and funny) experience. The theater was huge and so beautiful inside. Great way to escape the heat and could hold tons of guests (2,000/ show). This (and Tron) will help spread out the guests and hopefully reduce lines across the MK.

If I hadn't been there and seen it I wouldn't be commenting on it. I am not like half the morons here who say they love or hate something when they haven't seen it. The show is dull it has some poor quality singers and is a poor attempt at shoehorning a few characters into a mediocre cruise ship style big band show. I can't comment on the other shows I haven't seen them and I don't see what relivance they are to my comment which was about a specific show not every show TDR have staged.

I disagree, I've seen worse shows.

Actually they do, they lead to TL. I've used this area frequently.

I use it everyday. To get behind COP and BUZZ you have to exit behind Starbucks and then walk through the parking lot.

The tunnel does run under the parking lot there, there is just no access from ground level in that area.

The utilidors cut off before that plot of land. They run down Main Street but don't extend under the backstage parking lot

This section of utilidor was added in 1972-3.

Diamond Horshoe is a hidden gem right now.

While I'm glad it's back to being open every day, it really needs some kind of live entertainment. A band, singers, dancers, a comedy or magic act, at least one of those things.

For what they're charging, having diners stare at an empty stage is unacceptable.

Is there a show at the Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland? If there is I wasn't lucky enough to catch it while I ate there.

They brought back the Golden Horseshoe Revue in 2013 as part of "Limited Time Magic" at Disneyland but is still going.

It's still running at Tokyo Disneyland though but a bit different.

My map from 1963 has those areas included! I was shocked to see them when I bought the map (of course, Pirates and Mansion are also on there...years before the opened)

The utilidor runs diagonally from approx center street to where the cast cafeteria is behind the Terrace. Then it runs under the buildings until it turns north near TL. So there is partial exposure but not very far INTO the parking lot.

Correct the tunnel does not go that far under the parking lot, but it does go far enough under to the site to make tunnel access from the new theater a relatively easy undertaking.

As long we do not get something like this...




HAH!

Although there is space free in the cast member car park, I think they wouldn't do this, as it would feel a bit odd to just walk behind the buildings on Main Street, and I just get the feeling that it wouldn't fit well.

The two other options are relacing the Town Square Theatre(it may be kinda popular still, but they could set up a meet and greet elsewhere, and would they really have two theatres on Main Street?) or Tomorrowland Terrace(which is barely used as it's out of the way, nobody really knows about it).

People already have to walk behind Main Street when exiting the park on busy days. The new theater will help a ton with crowd flow.

Imagine walking up to the theatre facade from Center Street.

I think they wouldn't do this,

There are enough corroborating evidence and insiders to indicate they most definitely are.

I wouldn't think they would remove the Jawa encounter from DHS just two weeks before closing a major attraction there, but they did. Disney does a lot of stuff we think they wouldn't do.

 

[Cosmic Commando]

would they really have two theatres on Main Street?

The train stopping in town has caused it to grow. That's what they call progress, dear.

 

[Communicore]

The bus driver told me the theater is for bringing back a beloved attraction. American Idol: the experience.

Oh yea now that it is on ABC and is starting again soon! Perfecto!

 

[Communicore]

I completely agree! It amazes me when I look at the difference between DL and WDW. I am one that always said that Disneyland's productions are leaps and bounds ahead of WDW. I don't know if they just have a bigger talent pool than WDW.

But of course, everything is better at Disneyland, it's been that way ever since EPCOT Center turned to Epcot theme park.
