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

[brb1006]

And DisneySea has its own beautiful Broadway style theater since 2001.

A theatre with extra capacity and more shows. Love the live shows. Can't wait!

I wonder if the footprint of the Tokyo theatre will fit in the location discussed. It's already front load and could easily have a different facade on it... Anyone at a computer that could overlay?

They will probably just use it to show movies previews.

I cannot understand the complaints about this facade - this is a gorgeous addition to the Main Street area.

I love this!!! Should be very beautiful and add to the atmosphere of Main Street. It's a good way to retreat from the high heat in summer as well. My question is where exactly is the backstreet area? I took a screen grab of Google maps and highlighted in red where I assume this may go? Is this where people are thinking it will go?

And the concept render with the trees added (by Mickey Mario) was great! It looks nice and super inviting with the foliage added.

LOL They better not!

In that picture it was being used as a staging are for the work on the Main Street bypass. Now it is just cast member parking.

Here is a picture from March 2016.

Thanks! Okay, so that is where it is most likely going. I think it's a very nice addition to Main Street and am looking forward to seeing it once it opens.

I wonder if the color of the building is final or is it just an early rendering to show for now. To me, it needs more color variation for the detail in the architecture to stand out. Right now it's too uniformly yellow.

It's confirmed to be in the Main Street Theater. (Where the Mickey and Tinkerbell meet and greets are.)

What a false statement.

 

[TheGuyThatMakesSwords]

Interested in the LOCATION far more than the THEATER .

While the theater is nice.... if the location calculations are correct? The Bypass is no longer a bypass. It's going to become "main territory", usable 7x24.

Now - how long before we need a bypass to the bypass? . And how does this affect the existing Utilidor entrance/exit? Will this need to be extended to the new cast parking area?

What a false statement.

At first sight a lot of people through that, but we have learned a lot since then.

Depends on when and how often they run the shows.

The sky...

Our theatre will have restrooms available.

Will it have a lobby inside as well?

Quick aside: To be fair they should of been fixing that issue between Aladdin and Frozen.

Any thoughts on what would happen to the current Main Street theater? I guess just a name change?

That would be okay, but he phrased it as if it was fact. Also you can see Tony's in the concept art.

The rendering looks to me like a quick 3D model put together for the presentation. This may have been one of those last minute changes and they did not have time to develop artwork. I would suspect updated artwork at some point and the final product to contain more details, color variation, and landscaping.

That's what I was thinking. After the exceptional job they did with renovating the Emporium's exterior, I'd expect nothing less for an addition to Main Street.
