Virtual Magic Kingdom

[rwodonnell]

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I'll try to make it newsy/rumory. I'm curious if anyone here knows anything about Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom, which is "coming summer 2005".

Here's what the website says, in part:

VMK lets you experience the Disney parks from anywhere. It's a game where you can:
Chat, play and trade with friends
Decorate your own room and mix music
Compete with other players in our Pirates and Fireworks game

Anyone out there a beta tester, or know how to become one? Anyone have any inside scoop on what this will be like?

I briefly heard something about this during an Inside the Magic podcast.

It looks interesting & I'll wait for more info. I've always tough of making a virtual DL for myself (first in Director, then in Flash), but I never get around to actually doing it. This may be the actualization of the idea. Of course my DL would have a section of the park designed for beloved but now extinct rides like the real Imagination.

The Beta right now is only for Cast Members.

Thanks for that scoop.

My initial post somehow lost content that was in there for a while. That's really odd - when I first posted it, there was a bullet list of things that you can read when you go to the website I linked to. Was it edited because that is a no-no?

Your post has not been edited in any way that I know of - it still shows the bullet list when you look at it in the reply but not as a regular post... hmmm....

There, that's better. It looks like the system was gagging on some of your directions.
