If there was room, I'd place Mickey Mouse Revue in Mickey's Toontown... |

Sat 12/13/2008 2:07p | "taking out attractions that we have known and loved for years really stinks so I hope it's not true."
i would agree with that but i have to play devils advocate in saying that disneyland was not built to remain the same and be a museum. walt said that he wanted to evolve and change over the years and to do that you do have to take rides out that everyone loves, but might not be popular out for a new experiance that everyone could enjoy. if they had to take out one FL attraction for a new one, it would have to be pinocchio, it never has a line and has charming as it is it just does not draw attention like it used to. Not like peter pan and mr. toads wild ride which still have long lines. |

Sat 12/13/2008 8:11p | I've noticed that as well sometimes a good article will be replaced by literally junk (Usually shorter and with grammar worst than avromarks posts).
For what it's worth fuzzyhairedweaselrelative Al's website claims Lincoln will be back, but with the entrance as the exit joined by Obama (Or whoever the current president is) and George W. (Not the Texan one) in an abridged version of HoP. As much as I hate to admit agreeing with a certain person I would love that idea. He claims they'll have a mini museum worked into the waiting area etc. |

Sun 12/14/2008 2:04p | There is never a wait to see the Mickey Mouse Revue in Tokyo Disneyland. The only wait time is the few minutes it takes for the pre-show to run its course so you can enter it.
The practical issue here is that the Mickey Mouse Revue requires an enormous stage and couldn't possibly fit where the Pinochio ride is.
The artistic issue is that in a park that is much more crowded than Disneyland, Mickey Mouse Revue draws only a few guests for each show. In Disneyland it would draw almost no one. The figures are all extremely dated and many are "off-model" and would need to be redone.
There's a reason they got rid of it after only 10 years at Walt Disney World! |

Mon 12/15/2008 11:40a | "Off model" means that they don't really look like the character is supposed to look. If you see modern drawings of older characters, they are very often off model, to the point where they occasionally barely look like the character, or a person at all.
If you scroll down on this page about 1/4 of the way (I know, it's that icky other site...), to the HKDL section of photos, the second picture shows a Cinderella banner that's really off model.

Now it was my suggestion to re-use the AA figures, however at the time I did not mean all in the same attraction. However, I do like Jmuboy's idea. A dark ride that celebrates the music of Disney. That would be very cool and fit into DCA Hollywood and the whole new theme of the DCA. |

Tue 12/16/2008 12:31p | I can just see the blurb on the website about it now...
"The Great Mickey Mouse Revue Ride
In 1928, Walt Disney created the first ever cartoon with synchronized sound, Steamboat Willie. He further continued his success with the ground-breaking music-based series of shorts, the Silly Symphonies. In 1941, he changed the role of music in film by releasing the 'concert feature', Fantasia. Experience firsthand the importance of music in Walt Disney's life through some of the most memorable scenes from Disney films. Highlights include:
-A rollicking good time with the Three Caballeros
-A peaceful Golden Afternoon with Alice
-Mickey Mouse directing the orchestra of characters we wanted to include in the attraction but couldn't find a better place for them"
It already fits in with their new marketing for DCA! : ) |
