Rumor: American Idol Experience on the way out?
Some people are buzzing about the fact that Disney may be looking to ditch AI Experience. I know many on here would rejoice at that prospect! When it first opened, I took more of the "Wait and see" approach, as I was still a big fan of the show at the time. I visited twice, and enjoyed it, but not as much as I had hoped to. Looks like the naysayers were right this time, as the show has since taken a major ratings nose dive and the attraction is not getting much traffic, either.
What is spawning the rumors is the fact that the latest AI winner, Candice Glover, is the first winner since the attraction opened to not get a motorcade and performance at Hollywood Studios or film an "I'm going to Disney World" commercial after her win. She did go to the park to film new segments for the attraction.
Could this signal that Disney is beginning to distance themselves from the brand, and that the attraction is possibly on the way out? What would you like to see in its place?
