1.) Probably not, at least not anytime soon. There were plans to change the attraction, and Disney even registered a trademark for its new name, but those appear to have been shelved as a result of the sponsor pulling out and Microsoft, which was throught to step in for AT&T, is apparently not ready to jump aboard as quickly as management had hoped.

2.) No

3.) Neither. Check the FAQ on my web site for details about this attraction.

4.) Apparently Residential Street got a last-minute stay of execution. There were some fairly strong rumors that the area was to be cleared for the installation of the Car Stunt Show from the Walt Disney Studios park, but that now appears to have been delayed at least after the Christmas season. That's what the word on the street is, anyway.

5.) It would probably be rerouted to bypass that area, although it's possible that they'll scrap it altogether since the park really isn't a functional studio any more. Catastrophe Canyon is the only reason it still exists.

6.) Again, the park simply isn't a functional studio any more. With the soundstages frequently empty except for some low-budget syndicated TV show productions, and then partially converted to Who Wants to be a Millionaire, there was just very little to show the guests any more.

7.) Not sure what you mean by "purple things". Please elaborate.

thank you for all of your help the purple things are like chairs and you sit in them and they move and you're face is in a thing that i believe shows a movie or something but all i really know is moving purle chairs.. i think they are called dream---- dream--- dream something :-\

 

[wdwguide]

Dreamchasers I think - don't waste your time! They look incredibly cool (which is why the lines get very long), but it's nothing more than a really cheap, biased and uninformative commercial for General Motors.

Dreamchasers really is surprisingly lame. Did they origially intend the animation for Japan, or did they just make it that way? It seems really geared towards Japan to me, for some reason. They really do look like they will be cool if you watch them for a second, but they are amazingly lame when you do it.

I still think that they should find another communications sponser such as Nextel and then keep the theme. There are a lot of internet and wireless sompanies who could step in. What about Sprint?

Don't waste your time on dreamchasers. What a waste.

 

[KNWVIKING]

Nextel just agreed to plunk down 60+ million a year to be new sponsor on NASCAR. I wouldn't expect them to take on SSE also.

 

[laceemouse]

I agree with conure, there must be some other communication giant who could take over SSE. It needs an update, but no thrill ride PLEASE!!!.....Hey Lizzie, where do you live? I am in Naperville, Hi!!!
