I was neutral towards the Sorcerer's hat in Hollywood Studios, but I can see a lot of people will be thrilled that it will be removed.

And no problem with the Legend of Jack Sparrow Show closing down, as I thought it was kind of meh, considering the long and slow moving line.

Ooooooh I love it! Looks so beautiful.
Now I get to hope they bring something similar to Paris.
Settling Soul mates? That is grim. And I've played Monopoly alone.

Right now, it seems like their plan is only to update the opening and closing shows for the ride. I'm not sure about an update for the animatronics yet, but as long as the films used remain the same, I'd welcome it.

I think it would be lovely to give them a bit of a spring clean as it were. Although I've only ever seen wonky youtube videos of the ride, as I've never had the fortunate opportunity to get to the Hollywood Studios yet. When audio is heard from the films featured on the ride, is it the original voicework from the films ? Or are they sound-a-likes ?

I would say they're all new recordings.....well, at least from 1989! LOL! The Wizard of Oz is DEFINITELY NOT the classic soundtrack with Garland, Hamilton and Co.

The new queue area for "Peter Pan's Flight" looks very interesting. It should make standing in the standby line more bearable, which always seems slow and long.
