Excellent reporting...been waiting for that all year! Only a fool wouldn't appreciate that excellent news!

Angie_Duke · 04-01-2009, 07:16 AM

They chose B.O.B. over V.I.N.CENT. Imagineering truly has gone downhill. If I owned an annual pass I'd ask for a refund. The Black Hole deserves better recognition in Disneyland.

I can't believe that Disney would do this to such a classic attraction! Have they lost their minds completely? I don't see what Disney characters have to do with President Lincoln, much less how something could actually go wrong with his speech. This time Disney has gone too far and this modification needs to come to an end.

Once more Disney has figured out a way to squeeze Pixar characters where they have absolutely no business being. They should never touch such a classic attraction, let alone disgrace it with MORE Pixar junk. I hope this project never sees the light of day, honestly.

LOVE IT!!!!

How sad that I think that all actually sounds really awesome ... except the Jo Bro's part.

Mr Wiggins · 04-01-2009, 07:38 AM

I started LMAO... then stopped, thinking "Whatcha want to bet something not far off from this has been pitched?"

cellarhound · 04-01-2009, 07:46 AM

Bravo! Encore, encore!

Thesyndicate1 · 04-01-2009, 07:58 AM

Oh my gosh! I went from bracing myself (which I do internally whenever I hear imagineering is "tweaking" (ruining) a ride) to laughing out loud like a crazy man. Thank you Al, you're the best!

disneyland255 · 04-01-2009, 08:01 AM

This sound slike such a joke to America's History and one of the greatest American Presidents. I may regret saying this, but the imagineers need to pull their head out of their butts on this one. How pathetic.

Something has already gone terribly wrong with Abe ..his entire show! We really doesn't require Mickey Mouse to point this out either. Squeeking of the Mouse, we would be Fools to believe that the new small world Disney characters would enhance Magical Memories With Abraham Lincoln Sweepstakes. Do I have the name of the new show correct here, Al?

If so, it's dispicable that Disney has devalued Mr. Lincoln's historical significance to such an extent that they are attempting to synergize the new show into another gimickery advertising PR atempt in the form of a cheesy sweepstakes!

What's with the photo of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Is this one of the new animatronics that sends the show hurdling haywire. Please ..in the name of all that is Disney say it isn't true. I guess we should expect Johnny Wonka to bring along his Heffalumps and Oompa Loompas too. Everybody knows these creatures get along attrociously ..especially on the first day of April.

^.....^.....^
Is this supposed to be a Hidden Mickey on the new 3-D glasses for the show? C'mon... The notion of a historical 3-D show is garish enough ..these specs are pure torture.

If I were Obama and were used as a diversionary ploy, I would take the Walt Disney Company off the potential bailout list.

If I were the Jo Bro's, I would add the Battle Hymn of the Republic to their big screen 3-D Concert Experience ..just to spite the Disney suits. Afterward, they should attend to the business of Burning Up their contract.

If I were Abe and had but one line at the end of the show, I would tell Disney to TAkE THIS ATTRACTION AND SHOVE IT! Afterall, our revered 16th president is nobody's FOOL.

Are you kidding for some reason, especially today, I love those glasses and want to own them.

-- Great report

DisneyIPresume · 04-01-2009, 08:33 AM

I know what today is, but PLEASE do not let the suits see this!

Although I wouldn't be surprised if this was something they actually considered!

PirateMunkee · 04-01-2009, 08:35 AM

OMG This is so freaking awesome!!!! I'm just upset that Clooney is doing the voice and thought for sure that they would of gotten Miley Cyrus to voice Lincoln. Heck she sounds like a dude anyways.
