Probably replace Honey I Shrunk the whatever/ Michael Jackson movie with something new, probably teardown and rebuild the Wonders of Life Pavallion and put some kewl rides/ attractions in that, back to DAK, probably put a people mover ride in it, oh on that line of thought, back to EPCOT, make the area around the Showcase lagoon wider so you can put some form of transportation going around the showcase lagoon and add a parade like the park originally had.

Oh wait! That's now what you asked!!!!!!

Well, I guess instead of actually "adding" new attraction/ rides like all the Disney parks desperately need, I would settle for a new pain job on the tea cup ride.

Agreed.

But, in the spirit of the thread... My mind flashed to Spaceship Earth, and it's finale. I would think that it's high time it got something in that descent tube.

VERY close runner up to JII and Test Track who would both get versions of their ride that would be closer to what EPCOT needs.

Oh, and there's Nemo, too... But I don't think what I want to do counts as.. um.. "plussing". Heh.

ZING?

It is a lot of useless space and the last vestige of the stupid concept of an actual working movie studio.

As much as that's nice for your daughter...there's no need to have 4 of them in the same park.

No. I think it is a huge waste of money and land.

That was the one redeeming aspect to this whole plan when it was first announced. The hope that it would be reason enough to get rid of the Magic Carpets since their creation was borne out of the simple excuse that parents didn't like to wait with Judy or Timmy for Dumbo.

O,well.

Did anyone see this? How the Carpets were themed at TDS? Still not keen about it, but talk about a night and day difference in quality...

Here's an idea: why not pull the carpets out of AdvLnd and retheme them to elephants in FL?

There's your second spinner for the kiddies, who can now be contained, uh, occupied by interactive circus goodness in the New FL expansion. Then AdvLnd prime real estate is freed up for something more pleasurable... like breathing room!!!

It's a win-win!

At one point both Dumbos were thought to be new, but I read somewhere that they do intend to move the old one over once the new one is up and running? That right?

I agree with you and everyone else, the removal of the carpets would have been a great win-win.
