Travisma 1,317 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wonder what $$$$ making scheme they will come up with to replace it? The most recent adaptation that Walt Disney World has decided to implement is the retirement of the popular Magic Kingdom theme park interactive game Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Disney representatives confirmed this information with Inside the Magic and provided the following statement: Our mobile devices continue to play a vital role in the Disney theme park experience, and we are constantly innovating with new, on-the-go digital experiences, such as Magic Mobile, Play Disney Parks app and additional enhancements to My Disney Experience. With the changes in how our Guests use mobile technology in mind and decreased demand for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, we will be retiring this interactive experience on Jan. 24. Guests will have until then to cast their final spells and help Merlin to defeat the notorious Disney villains. We thank our Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom fans for their dedication and hope they’ll remember this fun experience. And of course, we thank our Cast for helping recruit sorcerers and sending them on their adventures. With the times changing and technology adapting, and smartphones being used for nearly everything, Disney is continuing to adjust theme park offerings so they adapt to the new era, and this game seems a bit outdated, even with its loyal fanbase. The game used paper cards and some advanced technology as the screens read which cards Guests would use, however, with so many things moving to smartphone use as well as to the My Disney Experience app (or the future Disney Genie), it looks as though this game doesn’t make the cut. And as Disney representatives have shared, “with the changes in how our Guests use mobile technology,” it is time to wave goodbye to the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom and see what the future holds for the theme park’s offerings.
