![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 Do they have to open this show at TDR at all? (Thumbs down from me)

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 I think this is a sensible addition. TDS needs more "small" and kid-friendly attractions to flesh out the park...Turtle Talk is a very polished show, certainly the best of the ones using this particular interactive technology...though I don't know how well Crush's surfer lingo translates into Japanese. The location inside SS Columbia is thematically tenuous, but not completely out of place as at DCA, and moreover will not have an external visual impact on the park. So overall, I think it's a good addition.

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 Doubtful. They already have Stitch featured in the Tiki Birds show.. and that version is not too popular with TDL fans out there.

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 I fail to see how this fits in with 1910's-20's New York. Mermaid Lagoon would be a much better fit, though still not perfect, at least it's UNDER THE SEA |

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 Take that figure and divide it by today's exchange rate of 98.64 yen per dollar. However, if you are planning a trip to TDR, its come to my attention that some airlines are offering round trip fares of around $600 from LAX. Go online and work it.

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 I want to write that I can see how Turtle Talk loosely fits in TDS even if I don't like it. However, I actually can't think of a Port in TDS where it would fit. Right now, this is actually an attraction that I could miss at TDS. This is disappointing because I can't and I would never say that about any of the other attractions. I could be proven wrong, but it's doubtful since I can't foresee too many enticing additions. |

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 Let's see, how does it fit? You're in an ocean liner, below decks, and you look out a large window and see the ocean with sea life in it. I think it fits just fine. The park is indeed light on stuff for younger park-goers. And everything in Mermaid Lagoon is from The Little Mermaid--having a character show from a different movie would not fit at all. Just my two cents. While adults may not find it to be the most exciting thing in the world, kids are amazed and love it. The fact that the theater is small means there is always a line at Orlando--not sure about Anaheim. There's probably no line in the Animation building at DCA for anything, is there? |

![]() | Re: Turtle Talk to open on October 1, 2009 I think for a lot of people the show is interesting once, as a demonstration of the technology. People aren’t used to talking back to animation and there’s a novelty there. It wears off quickly. But I do think it’s a good addition to DisneySea. Every attraction in a park can’t appeal to everyone in it. The goal of a good park should be to have enough attractions – each with different appeals – so that all of the guests can find enough to spend an enjoyable visit. Because of their small size, limited shows like ‘Turtle Talk’ fit this requirement perfectly. It’s cheap meaning that you can have a lot of these size attractions in all areas of the park. If OLC continues, it will be a good way to “fill out” DisneySea and offer a lot of variety. |
