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?

I'm with Mel. Superstar Television was a lot of fun and each show involved lots of guests in the show. A far better interactive experience.

Either one of these would be cool, although I doubt they'd happen. I used to absolutely LOVE Millionare!
But really couldn't they do with another top quality dark ride in the Studios? Maybe the Monsters attraction from DL?

The previous season's winner Phillip Phillips also did not get an "I'm Going to Disney World" commercial. I personally love the AI Experience, but know that it doesn't have the crowd pull that it could. I would LOVE to see something like SuperStar Television come back. It's an old idea, but think about how much better it could be with new technology.

Honestly, I'm not sure any Star Wars expansion in DHS would swallow up American Idol... I recall reading the plan, if they followed through, would swallow up a large area by Echo lake (which would include Indiana Jones)... I don't think AI was part of that honestly...

Cannot use Marvel in WDW... Universal owns the theme park rights...

I'm sure there is some other fad they can ride into the swamp yet again. The more they try to catch the next wave, the smaller the waves are. Stop trying to catch waves, Disney, and start making some instead.

Anything but Idol would be great. Never been a fan of that one.

Thanks for the info. I was providing second hand info. It appears that Phillip did not perform live in the park either as he was not available after his victory. He did make an appearance later when they were in town for the American Idol tour.
Speaking of, apparently a large chunk of this year's tour dates have been cancelled.

The studios...Otherwise known as the "Lost Park".
I was kind of surprised that the Idol experience was so involved...I hadn't done it previously, and my girls enjoyed it last year.

Do you mean the Monsters Inc ride (a roller coaster themed to the door scene in the movie) that was all but announced (it did appear on the HUB for a short time) but then TDO, in their wisdom, decided they didn't want to spend the money building it as part of a Pixar Place expansion, and now DCA will be getting instead? That Monster's Inc?
