Toy Story Midway Mania previews prove popular

May 15th, 2008 . by admin

Annual Passholders at Disney World who have been lucky enough to attend the previews for Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ latest attraction have been reporting good things. Toy Story Midway Mania seems to be producing good reviews, with reports of guests wanting to ride again straight away, according to this Orlando Sentinel article.

The ride is quite possibly Disney’s most interactive ride yet, with guests wearing 3D glasses, and boarding ride vehicles that move through various scenes featuring typical midway games. In each game guests aim for 3-D animated targets using their own on-board “spring-action shooters.” The games include “4D” surprises including blasts of air & water sprays.

I know that I for one can’t wait to ride it!

The Best Disney Attraction Websites

May 14th, 2008 . by admin

There are some great websites out there dedicated to individual Walt Disney World attractions.

Here’s my pick of the best ones:

Tell No Tales
A tribute to Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The site is beautifully themed, featuring a great photo tour of the ride and rare audio files from the attraction. A must-see for any Pirates fan, arrr!

Haunted Dimensions
You guessed it! The Haunted Mansion. Another visually appealing site that Haunted Mansion fans will love. Providing a page devoted to the attraction’s history, lots of photos, and what has to be the most unusual thing I’ve ever seen on a website - download and make a paper model of the Liberty Square Mansion!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
A guide dedicated to the Disney’s Hollywood Studios attraction. Although the site doesn’t appear to have been updated in some time, it does contain stuff worth visiting for, including photos, video and facts.

Doom Buggies
Another Haunted Mansion fan site! This one is brought to you by the same person as TellNoTales.com and features rare vintage audio and video clips. Lots of background history from the ride and interviews with the Mansion’s creators make this site a great read.

Ravenswood Manor
This one is dedicated to Disneyland Resort Paris’s Phantom Manor. An excellent detailed, guided photo tour complete with script excerpts and trivia.

An Officially Unofficial Muppet*Vision 3D Page
A funny look at the equally funny 3D movie show. With a show history, description and page of gags from the pre-show and show that you may have missed.

Figment’s Imagination
A fan site for Journey into Imagination with Figment. Contains audio, video, photos and Figment himself!
