I was literally on my way to post this. You are too fast BriMan!

Not sure about this. elecTRONica only slightly worked because of its ties with the Tron: Legacy soundtrack and rave-esque atmosphere. Not sure how that's going to translate to the boring Burton adaptation, but I'm sure it will be bright, vibrant, and have alcohol.

Woah! I didn't even know about ElecTRONica! Too bad I'll never get to see it now Looks/ed like a cool spot.

 

[JungleSkip]

Yea....

ElecTRONica was interesting for the TRON aspects. This just looks baffling and not really coherent with the rest of the park.

But whatever, could be fun.

I would have killed to see ElecTRONica, if only for Laserman and Flynn's.

But this, I am going to stay very far away from.....:bolt:

ElecTRONica was a blast and Laserman had to be seen to be believed. They really transform that part of the park into an incredible party atmosphere. I trust that they'll do as good a job with Mad T Party.

 

[Jymmymack]

I'll only go if somebody does this live on stage...

God, what a horrible film.

God, what a horrible film.

It's easily one of the worst films I've ever seen.

 

[Jymmymack]

The shot of Anne Hathaway swaying and smiling make me cringe every time.

 

[UNIrd]

I hated it the first time I watched it but it really grew on me.

Soooo, does this mean ElecTRONica can come to EPCOT so us on the east coast can jam to Daft Punk! ray:

And.........have fun with an entire entertainment event with the annoying music of Danny Elfman.

You know, one of my complaints about elecTRONica was that there wasn't nearly enough Daft Punk being played. It was more of a modern pop club atmosphere (Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc.).

And now that elecTRONica is going, going... and the new 20's/30's atmosphere is going in, I'd really rather scrap the party zone as it is and switch it to an old Hollywood era party at night. Sort of like an Adventure's Club but with old movie stars roaming the "backlot party". Sort of like what they do at Hearst Castle party nights.

I don't care where they put it, but I demand a Flynn's Arcade. I demand it!

 

[TSSD]

What I really dislike about ElecTRONica, and I believe will be the same for Mad T Party, is that the signs and props and stuff are there all the time.

 

[Andy]

Stupid, I didn't really care for electronica and thought it was all just overkill. It felt odd and out of place, but at the same time some people did enjoy it sooo I can see the other side of the argument. Please just keep that crap in Cali!

 

[Jymmymack]

elecTRONica was good for what it was... a little distraction from all the construction (remember the stage used to be in the main circle where the Carthay is now). But now that construction is wrapping up... why keep it going with the Mad Tea Party? They're just trying to hide the fact that the Hollywood section is a shell of what it should have been. They have not one, but two big empty soundstages, MuppetVision 3-D, and the Monster's Inc overlay hogging up prime real estate that they can't afford to upgrade right now.

 

[youhow2]

They honestly should just keep elecTRONica. Rave/EDM scene is huge over in California... It's also a smart move and great market research by Disney. "Wonderland" Is the number one most overused name/theme for raves ever... One of the biggest events held by those responsible for the biggest rave in the US (The Electric Daisy Carnival) also hold a wonderland event.


Only thing that doesnt make this golden is the fact that the most recent incarnation of wonderland by Disney is a fail... And that disney is dipping their hand in that scene in the first place...

 

[Jymmymack]

Alice in Wonderland is horrible... but it was creative failure, not a commercial one. It made over $1 billion worldwide. To bigwigs, it makes sense.
