Less Intense Indy Show Coming for Kids
June 24th, 2008
It’s now been reported that the new Indy show that is being performed in the Aladdin’s Oasis venue is set to have a few subtle changes. Though people seem to be loving the new show (especially smaller children who often get to participate in the show itself), Disney has decided to tone it down a little bit. They are saying that it is planned to remove several of the direct hit punches that Indy gives during the show. The reason is probably different than what you are thinking though. Audiences are loving the combat and exciting stunts, what seems to bug people is when Indy gives a direct punch to the bad guy (who happens to be a woman in this small scale show). People don’t like the fact that a woman is getting punched by a man right there in front of their kids. “There are things that can happen in a movie that just shouldn’t happen in a theme park,” says Glenn Kelman, Director of the show.

Not much has been heard about the new monorails at Disneyland lately. I think the Big D is disturbed by how long it is taking them to get the new trains up, the first of the 3 was supposed to launch as early as Memorial Day weekend this year. As of right now, the red train is still going around the track during the daytime getting adjustments and being tested. They have also finally put the blue train on the tracks, though it seems to be doing nightly test runs and adjustments. Currently at the resort you will see the red during the day with no passengers, the old purple one with passengers, and you may get lucky and spot the blue one at night. There has been no announced date for the delivery of the last remaining new monorail for the resort which will be orange in color. More as we get it…
More plans for the complete makeover of Disney’s California Adventure have been showing up recently. LA Times is reporting that the Orange Stinger is in for a “re-theme”. Apparently the giant orange will be replaced with a Victorian style building similar to that of the new Toy Story ride at the other end of the pier. It is believed that the new ride will be called “The Silly Symphonies Swings” and be themed based on the old Disney Cartoons called Silly Symphonies. It’s looking like there will be smoke effects, an orchestrated score to go along with it, and a Mickey Mouse as conductor probably looking like he first did when he went from black and white to color.
In the Disneyland Resort Backstage Pass magazine mailed to annual passholders Disney has confirmed that you will be able to catch the 3 foot tall remote controlled Wall-E roaming California Adventure soon! “Be sure to keep your Visual Input Devices (also known as ‘eyes’) peeled as you play in the park this summer… You might just catch a glimpse of the newest Pixar pal mingling with our human guests. Of course, Wall-E’s in-park appearances are subject to change without notice.” The LA Times is reporting that you shouldn’t expect to see the robot until well after Wall-E hits theaters on June 27th.
