Participation

[edit]

Not that this really matters, but I was on this "show" when my family and I took a vacation to Orlando in October 2005. I was 16, and won 32,000 pts. I actually made it to the 125,000 question but missed it. Genius00345 01:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Who else made it all the way? I was #108.Cooltiger92 01:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why Did This Attraction Close?

[edit]

It sounds like the Millionaire "Play It!" attraction was a good attraction, and unfortunately I never got a chance to participate in the show since I have never been to Disney's Hollywood Studios. :-( Midaba2004 (talk) 02:29, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the park when this attraction was open

[edit]

I'm slightly confused because when this attraction was open the name of the park was the Disney-MGM Studios, but someone reading this Wikipedia page wouldn't know that. From this page it sounds like it was actually called Disney's Hollywood Studios when the attraction was open, which obviously was not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.15.11 (talk) 14:44, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this last point has been amended--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced by

[edit]

Does anyone know what this attraction (in California) was replaced by?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:56, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing, it's a stage used for special events on occasion. --WestJet (talk) 01:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

[edit]

This sentence from the wiki page: "Sessions of the game ran several times a day; each session was 25 minutes long (but did not wait until the current contestant vacated the hot seat to stop) and seated 647 park guests" contradicts this one from further down the page "Show length: 25 minute shows, but didn't stop the show to keep that deadline". From my recolletcion the latterwas true, but can anyone confirm?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's really no source out there that can confirm it in writing for this article, but in my experience over the years I noticed that early in the attractions life that they would sometimes stop the show in the middle of a contestant's game and bring them back for the next one. Towards the end of the attraction's life, they generally waited until the contestant finished their game before ending the show, even if it had passed the 25 minute deadline. The first time I attended one of the shows, they ended right before the contestant went up against their 250,000 point question and kind of ticked me off -- maybe that's why they stopped doing that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.80.177.131 (talk) 21:01, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stranger

[edit]

In the Florida park, the "Phone A Stranger"/"Phone A Complete Stranger" was on Mickey Avenue. Where was the equivalent in California, and is this too trivial to put on the page?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 13:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was located outside the entrance to the Standby queue, but just off to the side of the FASTPASS machines. --WestJet (talk) 01:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stop

[edit]

From my recollection (unless this was only a temporary rule or the Host being negligent) contestants HAD to answer every question, and were not allowed to pass between milestones--TimothyJacobson (talk) 13:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

False. I've seen several contestants choose not to answer a question and walk away with what they've won up to that point. There's no way the host could stop them - it was in the rules of the game (governed by Florida Gaming Commission/whatever in California) and there are real consequences involved (prizes you received & IRS tax form) based on your decision to answer or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.80.177.131 (talk) 21:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
