No More Millionaire
Disney has officially announced that August 19, 2006 will mark the end of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire -- Play it!" game at Disney-MGM Studios in Walt Disney World. According to spokesman Jacob DiPietre, the sound stage will be used for a new guest experience later this year. The Disney World "Millionaire" attraction opened in April 2001, a bit late into the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" television show craze. It was too late to capture the peak of the show's popularity, which occurred in 1999 and 2000.
The new ride replacing "Millionaire" is expected to be a top attraction. It has been described as a cross between Disneyland's Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin and Universal Studios' Men in Black. Both rides take people in small cars on winding paths past indoor scenes with special effects and robotic characters, and involve active participation of the riders.
Opening date for the new attraction has not yet been announced, but it will probably happen in 2008. Stay tuned.
