Disney executives Friday announced details of three new attractions for the Orlando resort that they plan to open in the next three years.

"Outside of a new theme park opening, never in the history of Walt Disney World have we had this many blockbuster attractions under construction at the same time," said Disney World president Al Weiss.












The new attractions are:


Stitch's Great Escape at the Magic Kingdom, a movie ride experience that will replace Alien Encounter in Tomorrowland.
Soarin' Over California at EPCOT, a new addition to The Land pavillion, a version of a hang glider ride popular at Disney's California Adventure.
A car stunt show at Disney-MGM studios, similar to Stunt Show Spectacular at Disneyland Paris.

With the previously announced Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, all four Orlando resorts hope to open new attractions by 2006.

Disney executives hope the new attractions will help them recover from the continuing slump in the tourism industry. "We saw attendance increase this summer over the previous one," said Weiss. "That's a good sign, but we are not back to normalized levels. "

10-4, that had been announced earlier, and made us locals mad as that cancelled the Osborns Lights.

Does this mean that the Indy Stunt Show will be gone in FEB of '04?

No, the two have nothing to do with one another. A completely new venue is being constructed for the auto stunt show, and it will not open until 2005.
