Disney is rethinking some of the different areas within the new theme park to make it more kid friendly.

The theme park opened in February to less than stellar reviews, however, and expected first-year crowds failed to materialize. Guests said they wanted more attractions for kids, less expensive eats and more to do for the $43 admission price.

Disney listened.

Now, characters from the Disney animated feature ``Monsters, Inc. cavort for the kids and work is starting on a new playground attraction aimed squarely at 4- to 8-year-olds. Its also adding a new play area based on the hit film ``A Bugs Life and a 183-foot free-fall ride called ``The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

I don't think Disney are listening hard enough.

1) The monsters inc show is only 10 mins, set on a cart.

2) TOT is NOT a kiddies ride (although it'll be a great addition)

3) A bugs life play area doesn't sound anywhere near enough to keep the kids satisfied - think of the one in MGM.

They need a total staff change to be honest...

Sorry, I mean a "head" staff change - as in "those in the money $$$$$$$"

The bugs life kids area is planed to only have thee or four rides throw theirs room for a lot more. The best thing for them to do is make a dark ride something the entire family. Kiddy rides aren’t the answer but they are cheep. The thing to do would be to figure out rides that are appropriate for both children and interesting enough for adults.

I heard that the ToT going there is supposed to be better than the one in Florida... But hey, that was from Disney Magazine.
