Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights Preview
Back
by popular demand at Disney-MGM Studios is one of Disney's biggest
holiday spectacles -- The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights. This
Disney holiday tradition returns for the 2004 season bigger and
better than ever. After eight years of holiday cheer on
Residential Street, the display took a short break from the
tradition last year to begin construction in the area on the new
"Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show". Now the lights
will brighten the Streets of America backlot inside the
Studios. Click below for a sneak preview of the new display and to

Righteous! Crush 'N' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon
Disney
has announced plans for a "water coaster" at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon
water park. The ride, called Crush 'N' Gusher, marks a technological
first among Central Florida water park attractions, combining steep
drops and gravity-defying, coaster-like inclines, with screaming
jets of water propelling riders back uphill. Click the image to the
right for a good look at the artist's rendering. The same
rules apply for the ride: "No hurling on the shell, dude."
