Disney unveils new Florida attractions
Hit pre-teenage musical film High School Musical is to be recreated at an interactive show as part of a range of new attractions for 2008 at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida
‘High School Musical 2: School’s Out’ is inspired by Disney Channel’s record-breaking, original film, as the cast invites guests to join in as they sing and dance along to the movie’s hit tunes.
Toy Story Mania, will combine the characters from the Disney•Pixar Toy Story films with latest technology to create an interactive, 3D ride-through video game. Guests board vehicles and, using spring-action shooters, launch darts at balloons, toss rings at aliens and throw eggs at barnyard targets to see who can score the most points.
Jedi Training Academy, is described as an “intergalactic entertainment experience,” created with Lucasfilm and inspired by the Star Wars films.
Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage is aimed at preschool children featuring favourites from Disney Channel programmes including Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins and Handy Manny.
A Pirate’s Life for Me builds on the popularity of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean films and attractions, with a series of pirate skill tests.
