From the concept picture, I think it's going where the ABC theatre was, although I can't be sure.

The youtube video seems slightly cheesy to me, too.

I wonder what happens with those who audition who are, well, less than stellar singers.

My reaction to reading that is 'I can't imagine wanting to waste a day doing that', but then I have no desire to be on AI either. I'm sure it'll appeal to a lot of people, though.

I can see this appealing to those that want to try out, but I'm not so sure about attracting an audience to listen to them. Why would I want to take an hour of my limited and expensive park time to listen to probably not-so-hot singers?

OMG!!! My first thought was Yippee!!! This attraction will pull people from some of the other big ones, meaning less crowds!!

But, then, I thought of my daugthers and thought OH NO!! How can you do MGM in one day if you're standing around doing this????

I agree with that statement....add this to the biggest disgraces in Disney's history.

This would not be high on my list of things I want to do during my Studios visit. I doubt that it will last long.

I don't like watching the "auditions" on tv...so again why do I want to do this at the park for an hour? :roll: If it were up to me...I would think agian...no. no. no. What a wast of money.

Not sure about the "good" auditions at the end of the day.... Maybe I would do this if I had been to the parks endless times and just wanted something eles to do. I could see this maybe at Downtown Disney....

I'm not a big Idol watcher. So this has no appeal to me. I have a hard time imagining people wanting to do this at a theme park. But, if that's want people want to do, more power to them. Idol is a big deal. So, this could be popular. If so, great! Shorter lines for the things I actually want to do.
