A sneak peek at Disneyworld's 'American Idol' Experience

January 13, 2009 |  6:16 pm

It almost seems like the universe is working backwards -- that "American Idol" should have started as a Disneyworld ride, then become a recording star, then a TV show. But after next month, the pieces will all be there. The folks at Disney have released the above video tour of the "Idol" attraction. Looks a lot more fun than Space Mountain from where I sit, perhaps on a par with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Online reviews thus far have been not horrible. According to Disney tracker Jim Hill:

Well, I know that this news will probably shock Disneyana fans (Many of whom groused long & loud last year when they learned that a theme park version of this Fox reality series was headed for the Walt Disney World Resort). But according to Cast Members who attended preview performances for this new Hollywood Studios attraction earlier this week, The American Idol Experience is already a surprisingly solid show. More importantly, once AIE's cast & crew gets a few more performances under their belt, this sleek & slick interactive entertainment should prove to be extremely popular with WDW visitors.

See you all there on opening day, Feb. 14.

I auditioned for Disney's American Idol Experience for the Grand Opening!!!! It was soooo much fun! Everyone should try it! It is a great experience! I auditioned for the real American Idol and the Disney Experience is very similar, but 100 times more fun!!! :) LOVED IT!

What is the price to participate in the American Idol Experience? Or is it free with admission to Hollywood Studios?
