Idol Experience Opens

LOS ANGELES: The American Idol Experience, a new attraction based on the hit series on FOX, has opened at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The destination was developed by Walt Disney Imagineering in conjunction with FremantleMedia Enterprises and 19 Entertainment. It allows the theme park’s visitors to experience what it would be like to audition for the series, and winners of the daily competition will be allowed to schedule a front-of-the-line audition at a future regional audition for the television show. All seven winners of previous editions of the series—now in its eight season—along with the judges and several finalists, were on hand for a grand opening event yesterday.
