Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is an attraction in [[Tomorrowland]].
==Attraction History==
The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor was constructed as a replacement for the Circle-Vision 360 film "The Timekeeper". The show was created to showcase "digital puppetry", a new technology that Disney helped develop as a part of its "Living Character Initiative". By using this new technology, Disney was able to create a show that allowed for the Monsters on the screen to interact with the audience (a technique that had previously been used in [[Turtle Talk with Crush]] at [[Epcot]]). <ref> https://books.google.com/books?id=WK7T50f8i-oC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=Monsters+Inc.+Laugh+Floor+Digital+Puppetry&source=bl&ots=_cweIf1-VM&sig=xEzW37MTrdikMdMg8Y4JBLe3rNg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CC4Q6AEwA2oVChMI__TlwYCgyAIViXA-Ch3eGAGb#v=onepage&q=Monsters%20Inc.%20Laugh%20Floor%20Digital%20Puppetry&f=false </ref>
Following Disney’s announcement of the new Monsters, Inc. attraction in 2006, the former Timekeeper theater was repurposed for the new show. While much of the theater was redone, remnants of the Timekeeper can still be found. For example, in the waiting area, guests can still see the bubbling tubes that were once located in the Timekeeper’s preshow area. Likewise, in the main theater, the 9 screens used in the former show are still there (albeit now covered). <ref> http://www.mouseplanet.com/10505/Remembering_the_Magic_Monsters_Inc_Laugh_Floor </ref>
During the development of the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, the attraction was known as the “Laugh Floor Comedy Club”. This name was changed to “Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club” before the attraction ever opened to guests. Finally, two weeks prior to the attraction’s opening the show was given its current name <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/monsters-inc-laugh-floor-comedy-club/news/20mar2007-monsters-inc-laugh-floor-comedy-club-name-change.htm </ref> Due to the brief window between the time that the attraction was renamed and the time that it opened, there was a significant amount of merchandise created with the “Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Comedy Club” name. The Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor opened to guests on April 2, 2007. Since the attraction opened, the only major change to the show has been the addition of Monsters University references following the movie’s release in June 2013 <ref> http://www.insidethemagic.net/2013/04/walt-disney-world-celebrating-monsters-university-movie-release-with-theme-park-enhancements/ </ref>.
==Attraction Plot==
Following Mac and Jeeves a purple monster named Buddy Boil takes the stage. The monster claims that he is a mind reader and he asks a random audience camera then picks member to think of a guest number. Buddy then tells the volunteer to say the number out loud, closing his eyes - not his ears - so that he will not hear it. The monster then tells the number to the rest of the group. Everyone knows he can hear the number so when Buddy guesses it right and looks surprised, the audience usually laughs. At this point Roz clicks the button, which triggers a trap door below Buddy. Sometimes after falling Buddy humorously asks the same person to answer pick another number and he repeats the questionsame shtick.
