The new Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game ran a short play-test earlier today and our own Scott Smith was on the scene to be amongst the first to cast spells and battle the Disney Villains. The journey begins at the Main Street Fire House where guests are handed a map and some spell cards. Merlin and the cast member will assist you in training before you embark on your mission to rid the Magic Kingdom lands from the resurrected Disney Villains. The main antagonist of the story is Hades who will bring the other Villains back to life to take over the park by capturing all of the pieces of the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom that are spread throughout the lands.
Here’s a look at the maps guests are given and the current Sorcerers game window locations:
Merlin instructs you to your first location. At each window, you must press your key card against the key hole to open the portal. Once the first portal is open, Merlin will appear and usually explains he is too busy and will hand you off to a corresponding hero character from a film. That character will give you all of the story information you need to know. Before facing the main Villian in your story, you are usually given a second window where you fight a henchman of the villian. Regardless of what happens in the middle windows, the final battle will be with the main villain of your story. Once you have foiled this villain, you can move on to another land or choose to walk away. If you do walk away, you can reportedly return later in the day or even later in your vacation. The ultimate goal is to free all the lands of villains leading to an eventual final battle with Hades.
As far as the cards are concerned, there are 70 in all and it appears each has its own separate animation. For example, with the Mickey’s Magic Beans card, beans would fly at the enemy and beanstalks would grow upwards (this will be much clearer in the provided video). Here’s a look at the cards Scott was provided:
Enough explaining in text, it’s probably a lot easier to just show you a video of Scott and the game in action:
very interesting. I wonder if there will be more villains and stories as time goes on.
"The main protagonist of the story is Hades who will bring the other Villains back to life to take over the park by capturing all of the pieces of the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom that are spread throughout the lands." I think you meant antagonist.
Sweet video, cool looking stuff. Glad they went with the original voices.
Not the original voices in some cases. David Spade is not back voicing Kuzco, Eartha Kitt died a few years ago (Grey DeLisle is voicing Yzma now, and she does a great job, but… it's no Eartha Kitt)…
Sorry, I was just going by what Scott said in the video.
actually there are not 2 per land. There are
Adventureland: 3 missions: Yzma,Jafar,and Scar
Fantasyland: 2 missions: Ursala and Maleficent
Frontierland/Liberty Square: Dr. Facilier and Gov. Ratcliffe
Main Street USA: 1 Mission: Cruella De VilAlso, Defeating Hades is in Fantasyland
Yeah, we have corrected that in more recent postings, this is pretty old at this point
