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.

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.

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... <a href="http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2011/07/jasmines-flying-carpets-opens-at-tokyo.html" target="_blank">http://disneyandmore.blogspot....kyo.html</a>

Then AdvLnd prime real estate is freed up for something more pleasurable... like breathing room!!! It's a win-win!

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