What kind of audience could possibly endure this? What kind of audience would want to participate?

Oh wait. American Idol's audience would. And it almost makes sense to create a theme park attraction based on a show that more than 27.8 million Americans watch every week.
Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida will unveil an American Idol attraction later this year. How it'll actually work is yet to be determined, but it will likely involve multiple stage shows a day. Aspiring singers will audition before a live audience, including three judges who could be picked from the crowd. A daily winner could earn a priority spot in line when the Fox crew hits the audition road for the real Idol.

 

Walt is probably turning (or singing?) in his grave. And Simon Fuller is bathing in money.
