Project 727

I honestly don't mind this idea. It gives me old school attraction vibes where they've used comedians for ride films like Martin Short, Ellen, Whoopi..

Ahh yes, because those type of attractions aged so well.

This "inside the mind" crap sounds awful. I could at least get behind the New York flyover idea.

 

[Teebin]

While i'm not a fan of this idea, you guys do realize the "Soarin-esque" ride system they mention would likely be nothing like soarin' at all, right? First of all, that system is patented by Disney, but second, there are so many innovative flying systems out there that have a wide range of movement.

That and I have already told you all the basics of the system they will be using.

 

[MrRoamer]

If this rumor does have any merit, I don't think it will be so much inside the mind as it would be inside the head of Jimmy Fallon... Seeing the things that he sees with his thoughts being said out loud, and every time he does a wacky antic like tilting his head or something you would tilt with it. I wouldn't say I'm super excited about it but it could be more entertaining than a Soarin' type ride.

People don't seem to be picking up on it too well

The best thing about Soarin is the sense of flying. You aren't going to feel like flying when you are in someone's head running around backstage of a talk show.

The only good news is that with Celebrity-based attractions, Disney has already set the bar REALLY low: Ellen's Energy Adventure (ok, it's decent), Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey, and possibly the worst attraction ever made....Superstar Limo

 

[UNIrd]

Eh, but then there's also stuff like Timekeeper, Golden Dreams (which I really enjoyed in the short time it was at DCA), Steve Martin's anniversary film at DLR, etc. Sure, they might not age well but I do have good memories of the attractions for the most part while they were there.

Superstar Limo and Sounds Dangerous were just bad attractions, celebrities or not.

At least Superstar Limo had a short run. Energy and Sounds Dangerous were around (and in Eneregy's case, is still around) for a LONG time.

By the same token though, I love O'Canada, which stars and is narrated by Martin Short. And O'Canada is basically a standing 360 film version of Soarin' if we're being honest.

Right, but at least if this Fallon attraction isn't very good, at least we can say, it wasn't Superstar Limo bad

After listening to the brilliant Episode 41 podcast, I had an idea about this attraction and how it could work.

This would be like Soarin' over Universal meets "A Day in the Park with Fallon". Jimmy Fallon acts as a tour guide and gives a hilarious overview of the attractions and hotels, CityWalk etc.

I think in that regard it could serve a few purposes. It could introduce guests to attractions they might not be aware of, could put a funny spin on attractions people already know about, etc.

They already kind of did this for the opening of Diagon Alley on The Tonight Show.

Thoughts?

It's a bit late having that after people have paid admission, that would be great in CityWalk as advertising.

Why would anyone whos already in the park wanna know about the hotels. It would be too much Comcast Synergy!

For their next visit, duh

Except attractions change. An attraction like that would require constant updating as the park changes and new rides are built/replaced.

New permit for "Interior demo and exterior demo to include façade"

so im guessing twister will be closing really soon then?

 

[GAcoaster]

Now I've heard they've pushed it back to November, but of course that could change again...

That would make sense since HHN takes up the queue of Twister until the beginning of November.

Yea I had never heard of it closing anytime other than post HHN. Only reason Twister would close before then is if it had a maintenance issue that would be expensive to fix.
