That pretty much sums it up for me. Once the routines are polished up a little and we can view it live in the proper setting, I'm sure it's going to be really good.

Hmm, that looks rather rubbish, when did we go back in time to the 80's :roll: . The costumes are definately very strange combinations for a park where rain is majorly an issue with outdoor shows, white trousers :lol: . Also what exactly is not obvious, is why hundreds of people will start dancing around central plaza, and what exactly the storyline is. This turning into the year of cheap fixes to shows that were not broken. :?

I know that I would not get dancing in Central Plaza durring the show for sure, I think the dancing n stuff is much more aimed at the children than the adults lol

I remember when Disney would just simply entertain, aimed at all.

Some people may think that Disney have forgotten the words of the man himself...

Quote"Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."

Quote"Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching."

I on the other hand... Think that we're some what over critical: and would even like to remind people of this

Quote"We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public."

If the parks get the foot traffic and the foot traffic goes away happy... I think people would class it as a Win!

Lets see what presents itself on April 4th, and pass judgement then not on the previews of extract where the entire performance isn't the polished perfection that we expect

Captain Pan, we are both on the same page. Perhaps my annoyance is somewhat misguided. Perhaps I am truly annoyed at what has happened to our OK, Take a Break, Reality Show celeb culture of ignorami.

PS. Castle looks amazing!

I think the whole thing looks great, the stage is sympathetically themed, and works well!

Captain Pan · March 14, 2009, 11:58:12 AM

From the later two angles it looks like the Empire has expanded...

Massive battlements keeping fantasy safe..

Great Find Kristof... Nice Update!

Its looking splendid!

This actually looks really great - I really like that they have themed the stage so it actually just looks like an "extension" of the castle. =D>

Thanks for the pics Kristof

TowMater · March 14, 2009, 12:42:16 PM

The stage is great, Low so people doesn't have to look up and have their necks aching just like the 15th stage.

Does anyone else here wish they had used the time and money to paint the castle and restore the hub instead?

Oh yes - definitely! Although I think the stage does look quite good, restoring the hub would have been much better. They should've used the castle stage for this really.
