The American Idol Experience To Close at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Early 2015

The American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is going to be closing in early 2015, according to a few sources of mine. Now, there has yet to be an official announcement from Disney, but this is just about as good as done.

According to a few sources, the official date for closing is going to be Jan. 5, 2015, but again that has not been officially confirmed.

It appears as if Cast Members were simply told on Friday, June 13, 2014, that the attraction would be closing in six months. As of now, there has not yet been a replacement attraction discussed.

The American Idol Experience, the live theme park version of the hit series on FOX opened in 2009 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guests could audition to be a part of the live show and compete to be in the final at the end of the day.

Winners would actually get a “Golden Ticket” that would allow them to audition for the actual television show, but it still failed to bring in decent crowds.

Over the summer and through the fall and winter, it is expected there will be less and less shows happening each day.

Now, there is no telling what will take over the rather large soundstage that used to house “Superstar Television.” Sitting next door to the American Idol Experience is the Sounds Dangerous stage which sits dormant most times.

The Sounds Dangerous stage recently housed a sneak peek for “Maleficent” and will have a sneak peek for “Guardians of the Galaxy” later this summer.

Please know that this information is pretty much going to happen, but it can always change in any way since not officially confirmed by Disney just yet.
