Interactive Elements on IASW

[JacknSally]

We just got back from the Disney + Vans Memphis event, and one of the animators (Jeff) told us he worked on a project slated to open at IASW in Florida this fall. You'll be able to scan your magic bands and pick IASW characters for your family, and at the end of the ride, they'll show your family as those characters. He said they'd planned it for a while but it had gotten pushed back while they worked out the MagicBand/FP bugs. They're installing it now and it's slated to open this fall.

Cool! We just got back, rode IASW a few times.

As in pictures of the people on an animated doll? Like the end of spaceship earth maybe? A video for MM? Or projecting the face onto a blank faced doll? Because the latter would be really cool!

Yes, this has been rumored for close to 2 years or so. The "goodbye room" was modified a while ago, supposedly for this purpose. We'll see if or when it ever comes to fruition.

Try riding IASW wearing a "Tomorrowland" pin and see what happens. It's pretty cool.

I'm not sure - he didn't go into a ton of detail because the event was getting busy. I was picturing it like the end of spaceship earth, but I agree the projection would be really cool, too! He said though that it was custom for your family and interacted with your magic bands, so maybe it is just a video you can see on MM.

Well, I hadn't heard anything about it before talking to him, so I apologize for not being up to date. I thought it was cool, especially hearing about it from the lead animator on the project.

No worries, it's one of those things Disney played up a bit in the early days of this MyMagic rollout and has kinda gone dead since. Riding it last week I discussed it with my family who were wondering "whatever happened to...." I will be interested to see what the final product is.

I am buying those pins! Giving to my daughter right before the ride

What happens?

When you go through the last scene with Goodbye in all the different languages, you will notice that a few were changed out for flat panel display screens. (If you know what to look for, screens stick out like a sore thumb) The MB dolls were expected to show up there as you left the ride.

What happens?

Only holders of the pin shall know their fate.

 

[cgattis]

Or watchers of the movie...

Here is a good Thread on the MyMagic+ Props.

I am starting to wonder if they are EVER going to turn the darn things on!lol

Sounds awesome!

 

[ttintagel]

Where will they show them? If it's on your phone or something, that's fine. But if it disrupts the integrity of the attraction that everybody sees, that's disappointing. It's such a beautiful work of art.

And that will end me riding it. Since it's my favorite (well, non-holiday Disneyland version is actually my fave despite the dreadful Disney characters in it) that's going to be sad.

All of this interactive stuff is just a clump of the stupidest ideas ever thought of. Ugh.
