This new attraction is under construction in the old ABC theatre.  Guests will be chosen to participate in an American Idol type experience similar to the TV show.  This attraction sounds like it has the same concept as the old Who Wants to be a Millionaire attraction in that guests can feel like they are really a part of the TV show.

Toy Story Mania
Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Time: Morning

I saw this sign on a door while waiting in line for the new Toy Story Mania ride at the Studios.  Disney is SO into the details.  This is their way of saying that this door is for cast members (employees) only.  How cute!

Space Mountain
Location: Magic Kingdom

This ride is located in Tomorrowland.  This used to be my favorite ride when I was a kid.  My younger brother and I used to fight over who would get to sit in the front.  I still scream every time I ride it.
