DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park a Gamer's Delight

With five stories of simulators, video games, and other interactive adventures, the DisneyQuest theme park at Downtown Disney’s West Side is a gamer’s paradise. Guests can ride the rapids during the age of the dinosaurs on a virtual jungle cruise, battle the Pirates of the Caribbean on the open seas, or even take a magic carpet ride with Aladdin to seek the magic lamp.

Aladdin’s Genie greets visitors when they enter the elevator that takes them into the heart of DisneyQuest. From there guests are free to roam the five stories of interactive video simulator games—or even play some “old school” pinball and air hockey. No tokens or quarters are necessary; a day’s admission to DisneyQuest covers all of your games. An indoor cafeteria also ensures that no one will go hungry during their day of gaming.

There are no strollers allowed inside DisneyQuest, and due to the height restrictions on many of the interactive rides, the darkened, video arcade atmosphere is best suited for older children, teens and adults. Guests that are 51” or taller can design and ride their own roller coaster on CyberSpace Mountain, or pilot a futuristic bumper car ride with Buzz Lightyear’s Astroblasters. There are even opportunities for visitors to try their hand at drawing Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters at the Animation Academy.

At the end of your day at DisneyQuest, stroll around Downtown Disney’s West Side (adjust your eyes to the light if the sun hasn’t gone down yet) and enjoy the rest of what Downtown Disney has to offer.

Nepal at a Glance

Nepal is a land locked country lying on the lap of the Himalayan Mountain Range crowned by the Everest, the highest peak of the world. The kingdom spread over valleys and terrains of varied altitude ranging between 100 to 4800 meters covering a vast area measuring 147,0000sq.kilometers, starting from the Himalayas on the north and extended to terrain of Bengal on the south.

The capital of Nepal is Katmandu which is situated almost at the centre of the state. Although Katmandu is the principal town and commercial centre, there are a few other towns which are important from the trade and tourism point of view. Hotel accommodations of good standard are available only in Katmandu.

Places of Interests

Apart from Katmandu some other places of interest are Pokhra which is famous for its high altitude lake which remains completely frozen during February and March. There are some national parks and gardens. The famous spots are Chitwan national park famous for its wild life sanctuary and the Sagar Matha National Park which is situated at the high altitude 8800 meters.

Climate

The climate of the state varies from place to place depending on its topographical condition. The northern part is generally cooler whereas the southern part is having sub-tropical climatic condition.

Nepal is the home for 25 million people as per 2002 census. The majority of the citizens are followers of Hindu religion and culture. A small fraction of the population is the followers of Buddhism and Islamic religion. People here are very simple, religious and famous for their bravery.

American Idol Experience Disney

The American Idol Experience, which will have its Grand Opening on February 14, 2009, will be located at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park and will follow the model of the high-energy show. Disney guests will be able to experience the challenge of auditioning, the rush of performing on stage in competition, or the thrill of judging the performances in a live interactive entertainment setting with all the glitz and glamour of the distinctive "American Idol" set.
That experience will include an audition process, open to all eligible to register, where guests perform “live” in front of a Disney’s Hollywood Studios producer for the chance to be cast in a theme park show. If shown to have that star quality during the screening process and after backstage preparation -- working with a vocal coach, hair and make-up -- it’s lights up and showtime for the lucky guest in front of a “live” audience and a panel of judges.
