This week we talk about Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, a rumored interactive experience coming to the Magic Kingdom. This rumor comes our way via Jeff Kober, a Staff Writer over at MousePlanet.com. Check out his April 1st (but no fooling) article, as well as this more recent article where he fleshed out the developments. As Disney hasn’t announced anything, please take it all with a grain of salt. But we thought it would be fun to pick through and it discuss its potential and predecessors a bit. Hope you enjoy!
This week we talk Disney’s Motion Beam, a project from Disney Research in Pittsburgh (CMU). It needs to be seen to be described, so… here’s the video embed:
This week we continue our series of “Hack” episodes about Drink Hacks, alcoholic and otherwise, spanning the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort. We talk our tips to make the best out of your vacation in terms of water, coffee, and beer. And make sure to drink responsibly, coffee-snobs!
This week we talk with about Kinect Disneyland Adventures, a new game debuted at E3 2011 that provides visitors with a virtual Disneyland experience using the Microsoft Kinect platform. We’re joined by E3 attendee Robbie Fenoglio, a 6-year veteran of the gaming industry and fanboy #1 of the Betamouse Nation, who was able to demo the game at the event. Forgive us for neglecting to cover the other E3 stuff Disney put out this year!
This week we do a bit of Podcast Imagineering and talk about Matt Hochberg’s favorite park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But our question: what techy things would “plus” Animal Kingdom? Listen, then leave your ideas in the comments below. Or just say them outloud while you’re listening on the bus and then see if your fellow commuters agree.
This week, we’re joined by StarToursLive.com and TouringPlans.com‘s Scarlett Litton to talk about STAR TOURS: THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE. Four of the Six on the Panel have experienced the attraction, and we try to cover the more techy elements of the show in front of a live, loud audience of Betamice. Hope you don’t completely hate this!
Known for its early planning, The Betamouse Podcast (TBP) is going LIVE tomorrow, Wednesday, 10pm ET, to discuss the newly new “Star Tours” attraction that has recently open in WDW and officially soon in DLR. You should come and hang out with us: http://betamouse.net/live. I really think you should.
