And or post the blueprints with Mystery Science Theater 3000-esque comments written on the side?

The boat ride's theme and inevitable over-hyping is what I'm knocking haha <<I did hear somewhere that the glorified Soarin had a CoP element to it...>> From what I'm seeing, it doesn't look possible. 4 theaters, and the inside portion of the boat attraction goes into the "E-ticket" building in the Northeast corner.

The main attraction is not a ride that moves along a track. <<...I hope I'm not the only one that hopes this project never happens.>> Nope, I'm there with you. The only good thing is these attractions seem to be an easy retheme, depending on what they do to the exterior.

Afterall, you can't have a new ride anywhere in a WDW park without opening at least one restaurant and several shops.

Maybe, probably, or no question about it?>> It's hard to say. If it was intentional, I dunno how successful it's been. People are talking, but they seem to be talking about how bad it is.
