Oh how I wish I could give you a club report following a fun night out at Mannequins. Alas, we have just this video taken by Blog reader DJ Madmanray of the Mannequins Light Show aka Mannequins Medley. Taking place at 9:30pm every night (when hardly anyone was in the place), the video displays the unprecedented lighting equipment contained in there. Keep in mind that a club today with this kind of equipment would be considered incredible yet this was operating 5 years ago and earlier. The lighting, the hanging mannequins, the spray-downs, the revolving dance floor. Just an absolutely amazing place built by Disney Imagineers. I have no idea what is planned for the MDP building. The lack of any rumors whatsoever leads me to believe that even Disney doesn't know what is going in there. But the opportunity is just sitting there to put Walt Disney World back on top of the adult evening entertainment map where it was!
But the opportunity is just sitting there....if only they were interested! Does anyone else hear songs that have come out since the closure and imagine what the light show would look like and where the spray down would happen...just like you were still spinning on the floor?
ReplyDelete...or is it just me?
You're NOT alone buddy. Mannequins style music is bigger than ever. Mannequins would be huge.
ReplyDeleteUntil they tear it down or announce some other use, there's always hope!
ReplyDeleteYou're right King Bob hopefully they'll reopen Mannequines, and

So come on Disney Executives and put nightlife back in P.I. .
P.S. Don't let Citywalk get all the night life glory.
I still love watching that video every now and then... I can't believe that it almost has 10,000 views! What an awesome place Mannequins was, and all of Pleasure Island was! Thanks for all that you do Bob...
