Crush Party - Wednesday 17 June 2009 at 19.30
All registered Conference delegates, accompanying persons and Agency Fair Assistants are kindly invited to attend the Crush Party at Walt Disney Studios on Wednesday 17 June 2009, at 19.30 until late. Some attractions will be privatised just for your enjoyment, before a nice dinner set in a magical atmosphere, followed by a DJ night. Come and network while enjoying this special evening!
Dress code: Come dressed for a relaxed and fun evening

As part of the EphMRA 2009 Crush Party Evening, you will be able to experience some of the newest Disney attractions, privatised especially for EphMRA! Make your choice between a soft tram tour within the backstage of the cinema production, the joyful Crush’s Coaster, and the rightening Tower of Terror, or just try them all!

You start out on an innocent tram ride when suddenly you take a detour into disaster through the boneshaking Catastrophe Canyon. See what it feels like to be an actor at the centre of the drama. Discover the secrets of how movies and TV shows are made. Find out how special effects are created, and see costumes, props and vehicles from some of your favourite Disney cinema classics.

Then discover the unexpected as your tram takes a detour into Catastrophe Canyon - the most spectacular real-life movie you'll ever experience. As you enter, the tension mounts. Seconds later a rumbling earthquake sends shockwaves through the set... and through you! Don't panic, it gets worse! Five forces of nature in one canyon! Could this be when the credits roll "The End"?

Legal Restrictions & Information:
Wheelchair accessible. Don’t enter an attraction if you don’t feel like trying it! Neither MCI nor EphMRA can be held responsible for any accident that might occur within any of the Disney attractions.

Inspired by the Disney-Pixar film “Finding Nemo”, this is one of the two new attractions at the Walt Disney Studios® Park. Crush's Coaster is a big dipper in the inside and at the same time a journey within the World of Nemo. You will be mesmerised by the beautiful coral reefs as you swim past them with Nemo and his friends, and struggle desperately against the East Australian current. So, raise the anchor and dive in!

Legal Restrictions & Information:

Neither MCI nor EphMRA can be held responsible for any accident that might occur within any of the Disney attractions.

Come face to face with your fears in the once glamorous, now eerie and abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Discover the mysteries of what happened to the guests that fateful night back on October 31, 1939 when lightening struck. Nothing could prepare you for plunging 13 floors into the recesses of The Twilight Zone!

Don't let the ghostly appearance of the bellman dissuade you from entering. Once you have stepped over the threshold of this cursed hotel, there are even more strange and spooky surprises in store.

Experience breathtaking special effects, travel to the top of the elevator shaft, pray that lightening doesn't strike a second time, and prepare yourself for a mind-blowing adrenaline rush. An exhilarating experience that will transport you to a mysterious dimension is waiting for you! The ascent is followed by a dizzying drop faster than the speed of gravity. The abyss awaits you…Drop in if you dare!
