I agree that the midway theme is somewhat cheap or whatever. But the tech. in this one attraction just tears the theme's cheapness apart. I mean,an interactive audio animatronic, interective and changeable game play. There aint nothing cheap about all of that. This also seems like a ride that Universal would try and come up with, and while it is kinda of a mix between their men in black and spiderman, it has all of the uniqueness that embodies a great disney attraction. I can not wait for this thing.
Im a little curious about this though, esp. the potatoe head. Will they have fp if so, will you miss out on seeing this interactive potatoe head. And what if someone just wanted to stand and watch the aa interact with guest would he tell him or her to get out of the way or something like that. Last thing, just like in Crush and the Monster thing, dont they have a voice over person saying the lines or whatever, if that applies for this ride, wouldnt the person be there saying the lines over and over all day since its in the line. I had another question on top of all of that, but I forgot it, Ill repost if I remember.

Don`t laugh... as posted elsewhere Pixars building isn`t exactly theme park material.. hopefully it`ll get a pixie dust makeover!

Not necessarily trusting IMDB, just saying that there's a lot still up in the air yet as both films are in the works.

What's the point of any characters, ever? PotC would be a nice relaxing boat ride in the dark without all those singing pirates.
Maybe I don't get the question...
Same question -- what does a carnival midway have to do with the Studios?
Toontown Fair would have been perfect for this attraction with the fab five as our hosts!
(I'm sure the ride will be great, and am looking forward to riding, but just don't see how this fits into the Studios theme/story?)

No kidding. Most people are just excited to see Imagineers adding more attractions period. I guess no matter what Disney does some people will never be satisfied though...even if it IS the next generation of a dark ride that no one besides Disney has put into reality yet.

Well, the ride could perhaps have original characters instead of Toy Story characters. That's what I meant. Something like a whimsical mad scientist wanting to create the ultimate midway ride. Don't get me wrong, the ride looks great but I just don't see the point of the toy story characters. It seems like they just shoe-horned them in to have marketable characters along iwth the ride.

Exactly, I'm sure that they'll find a way to tie it into the studios somehow. Me personally, I'm just happy that MGM is getting a new innovative attraction, hopefully the first of many more to come.

Me too! I'm just happy that there will be an extra attraction at MGM that the entire family can enjoy.

i believe the use of the use of Toy Stories character b/c of the Pizza Planet place (i think) was a huge aracde (sry spelling) and hopefully that the connection (but i think their not using pizza planet place). Well they're toys and usually toys are usually made into games. (eg, legos, barbie) toys and video games go together.
but i don't understand the connect to MGM studios? why there? toys movie? movie toys? just because toy story was a movie it belongs in MGM? (other question isn't that Toy Story eating place in MGM?)

ah... okay! I just know that they took it out of our recruiting presentations and when I asked I was told that the plug got pulled on it... but that was over a year ago - things change

So how does this fit in with the entertainment industry park? (and no, it doesn't count that it's themed after a movie...)

As much as love the idea of a brand new ride coming to MGM, I can't help feel that it's such a lame concept. The imagineers have created such amazing rides, they have a lot to live up to with each new ride. I feel that creating new ride systems and making the guest part of the ride is amazing, the concept for the story is so pathetic. I guess I have my hopes to high, but they created a rich story and ride with ToT.
I'm sorry if I'm being a kill joy, but as huge fan of Disney and a artist i feel that the way they handle the constant flow of cheap movie sequels is becoming more and more present in the parks.

WDW has been placing rides in such awkward locations that the whole theme thing that they were so good at is now fading away. It's like at Six Flags where you get off an old west themed water ride and you in front of the carousel.
