They cleared out the Dream Home a couple weeks ago, but didn't commence with any actual demolition Given that the CMs there were paid a higher rate for their quasi-entertainment roles, I wonder if they'll be moved to other attractions in the park. Were there any sponsorships that might be upset if they closed everything down?

I'd love to see something worth going to. For the first decade of my existence, the Carousel Theater was just another building in Tomorrowland and the PeopleMover went through it. It never occurred to me that it might have been something before I was born. And when Innoventions came along, I was underwhelmed. I've hardly been inside the building at all. I'd really love to see something very futuristic (and no, I'm not talking about Star Wars or Marvel). Or maybe they could bring back the Carousel of Progress. That building really hit its peak with that attraction, and even though America Sings was awesome, I can't see it coming back.

Doing this ... would bring down the Hourly Capacity for TL, and DL overall. The carousel theater .. when it was a "carousel theatre" had an enormous hourly capacity. Autopia's hourly capacity would have to be equated in this new equation. You build a ride that combines both. I could see this ride not having much more than a capacity more than Rocket Rods. Is that smart imagineering? In a park that needs all the Hourly Capacity it can get? Perhaps that rumor, perpetuated by Miceage, is not talked about much anymore ... because Disney might have thought it was a bad idea, for the drop in hourly capacity it would have created.
