It looks like Kim Possible is going to be one of the new attractions to hit Epcot near the end of this year with the addition of the “Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure”. From what I’ve read in the press release, this sounds like something my tech-savvy kids would really enjoy… I think it’s also an attempt by Disney to make the World Showcase a bit more interesting for the kids (it can be a little of a hard-sell compared to the rest of Disney).
Each child are given a Kimmunicator which iis actually a Motorolla i870 phone with the software installed. The Kimmunicator is then used to guide you through the various missions on your way to helping Kim and Ron save the world.
Allears have done a writeup from early trials here.
“Disney’s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure is an exciting new experience that offers fun and excitement for the entire family,” said Jim MacPhee, Epcot vice president. “We are constantly exploring new ways to provide immersive experiences to Epcot guests, and this new offering will add to our dynamic portfolio.”
“Today’s emerging generation expects more immersive, personal and interactive experiences in every facet of their lives, including their entertainment choices,” added Bruce Vaughn, chief creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering. “As leaders in family entertainment, Disney theme parks push the envelope by combining state-of-the-art technology with creative storytelling to enhance the overall Disney vacation experience.”
