Sounds Dangerous is one of the more notable failed attractions designed by WDI. However, I must admit that I get sort a guilty pleasure out of it. It is a fun show and I love Drew Carey. But that does not change that fact that I can experience this attraction at home if I put on headphones and turn out the lights.
When the attraction first debuted, the use of Binural Audio was cutting edge. But in 2010, many podcasts created by park guests use the same technology. This means one of the major draws of the attraction is now worthless. Guests can have the same experience at home as in the park. Drew Carey has also taken a major hit in the publicity department. When the attraction was built, he had his own show on ABC. Now his show is gone, and he has gotten a poor reception on the Price is Right.
So all in all, Sounds Dangerous is a an example of a good idea gone bad. This is why the attraction is now reduced to seasonal status. We can only hope that WDI can come up with something new and exciting for this theater. After all, sound is a huge park of movies and television and deserves to have an attraction showcasing its importance.
