Cars: Race Rally (June 07)
You’ve seen the movie, now take it for a spin!
Hit the road with Lightning McQueen and friends on the new piston-pumping ride opening June 2007. Welcome to Radiator Springs, a sleepy, one-horse-power town that’s about to be woken
up. So fuel-up for fun and get in gear to join this engine-roaring rally on the dusty desert
track of Route 66.
Buckle-up and once you’ve discovered the hotshot-racing driver in you, it’ll be time to take pole-position and put everything you’ve learnt into practice. There’s vrrrrrrooom for everyone.
Stitch Encounter (Late 07)
The tiny and talkative alien known as "Stitch" spots the glamour and showbiz of the studios on his space cruiser's radar screen. With the help of young park guests, the animated Stitch sets the coordinates of his spaceship for a "landing" in Production Courtyard.
The blue alien, who debuted in Disney's hit animated comedy "Lilo & Stitch," stars in the new cutting-edge attraction where park guests, seated in an intimate theatre, carry on real-time conversations with the famous animated character.
Tower Of Terror (January 08)
Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and glamour of a bustling, young movie town at the height of its golden age, The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right; a beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that.
You' are passengers on a most uncommon elevator about to ascend into your very own episode of The Twilight Zone. One stormy night long ago, guests stepped through this elevator door and into a nightmare. That door is opening once again, and this time it's opening for you.
Crush’s Coaster (June 07)
Get ready to plunge into and underwater world of adventure, fun and hidden “dangers”… oh yes, and a few thousand fish. Here, you’ll “sea” life a little differently as you twist and turn over colourful coral reefs. But don’t close your eyes… or you’ll miss the fun as you dive straight down into the inky darkness of the deep to explore a sunken submarine.
Prepare yourself for the rush: spinning and twisting with along the powerful Eastern Australian Current, where even the coolest dudes have to screeeeeeeeam!
