Get “The American Idol Experience” in Orlando

Feb

“Disney is preparing to unveil its newest attraction, “The American Idol Experience.”

The attraction officially opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 14.

“The American Idol Experience” captures the energy and excitement of the TV series, with some guests at auditioning to take the spotlight onstage, while fellow guests cheer them on from the audience and vote for their favorite singer with instant results.

Each show takes place in a 1,000-seat indoor theater inspired by the actual “American Idol” set in California.

Designed to reflect the best and brightest elements of the TV show, “The American Idol Experience” includes an audition process open to Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests 14 and older. These guests perform live in front of a Disney Hollywood Studios casting director for the opportunity to be cast in one of the preliminary theme park shows that same day.

If shown to have that special “star quality” during the multi-step audition process, it’s on to performance training, hair and makeup. Then, the lights come up and it’s showtime for the singers as they try to impress an audience of theme park guests – plus a panel of three expert judges.

Audience members vote for their favorite performance using the armrest keypads, with their votes tallied to determine the top singer.

Performers with the highest votes during the preliminary shows will return for a high-energy grand finale show that same evening.

The top vote-getter at the end of the night will receive “The American Idol Experience” Dream Ticket, which allows an eligible holder to schedule a front-of-the-line audition to a future regional audition for the “American Idol” television show. ” (via www.cfnews13.com/News/Local)
