Toy Story Mania to open at MGM next year

[wickesy]

Disney has officially announced that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is to be replaced by Toy Story Mania next year.

From Orlando Sentinel

The new attraction, announced Friday at Walt Disney World, will merge the ride-through shooting theme of the Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin ride at Magic Kingdom with newer technologies to let riders and characters communicate with one another, and to let the ride computer tailor each rider's game.

From WDWMagic

A next generation "Living Character" audio-animatronics figure will be included as part of the pre-show queue area. The 6ft tall Mr Potato head figure will break new ground for an audio-animatronics figure by participating with the audience (similar to Turtle Talk with Crush), and will have the ability to remove body parts (just like the animated Mr Potato Head).

That sounds great just can't believe it will take so long to construct.

I wonder if I can convince Dh that this is a good enough reason to go back next year...!

I'm really looking forward to this. I love Toy Story and I really love Space Ranger Spin so I'm officialy a happy chappy.

I can understand it taking a while to construct, I can imagine there's alot of work involved with getting everything constructed, put into place, tested etc etc. As long as it's as great a ride as I think we all want it to be, it'll be worth the wait.
