The exhibit consists of four areas
1) outdoor waiting area: monitors with background on the making of the moving, similar to the Backlot Tour waiting area
2) indoor waiting area: in front of a large red wardrobe door. The CM rattled off a spiel which we think was a listing of the producers, stars, etc but frankly nobody could understand much due to his strong accent. We waited about 12 minutes while the lighting and music turned on and off - obviously some technical difficulties here...
3) the main show area: walking in was a nice surprise - a large room surrounded by snow covered trees, the lamppost in the centre, 'snow' (actually soft white carpet) on the ground. The White Witch makes a brief appearance, before several minutes of trailers appear on the large screen. Frankly, I think that they are the trailers from the website, but would definitely attract anyone who hasn't seen the film (I have not)
4) the 'exhibit' area with a few maquettes and costumes and a sword from the movie: there were only about ten people in our group, but it was hard to see as this is a very small area. Our guide was eager to move people out the door, and what with waiting to see anything it was a little rushed
Overall, the effect of the main room is wonderful; the indoor waiting area is probably good once the lighting/music effect is sorted out (may just have been an early morning bug). However, I recall that the Haunted Mansion and 101 Dalmations set attractions were much more elaborate and had more informaiton. Basically, I felt that this was a long movie trailer surrounded by snow covered trees....
Worth a wait of 15 minutes or so, but probably not much more.
The 'snow' outside is great, though!!!!
