Spent the day at MGM yesterday. The all seatbelt cars on Tower of Terror 4 are a major improvement and allow for lots of air time
. Star Tours and the Indy Stunt Spectacular, however, are really starting to show their age. I know redesiging attractions are like pulling teeth with the Disney execs, but when Disneyland has such a great Indy attraction and MGM has such a weak one, why not tear down the stunt show and put the ride in its place? Star Tours is also getting horribly outdated, especially when you compare it to the effects used in the prequels. All Lucas needs to do is spend a couple million on a new ride film using all CGI and it'd be guarenteed to blow the old film out of the water. Give the attraction a bit of a face lift and install digital projectors in the ride vehicles. With both Indy IV and Episode III coming out Summer 2005, the cross promotion would boost attendace and sell more tickets. Someone needs to send Lucas down to MGM and get him to realize his attractions are nowhere near as exciting as they used to be. Maybe he has the pull to get Disney to spend some dough!
P.S. What were they thinking getting rid of Mann's Chinese Theater? That giant Mickey's hat is gonna take awhile to get used to, but since the cast members say it'll be around for at least 10yrs, I guess there's plenty of time.
