I assume they would be removing the Monorail from the park (or rerouting it) as well as the peoplemover track. Hopefully the new items they put in will not be based on projections and be only a 3-4 minute long trip.

This may or may not be it. Even if it is not "true" I would welcome the change. Wouldn't mind if the tore out all of tomorrowland (includign moving Space Mountain, take down the Matterhorn and rebuild near Small World and enlarge the castle. I know. Blasphemous!!!

So that leaves the boatload of money they poured into Nemo and Lasseter's potential attachment to it. If that can be overcome - hell yeah, let's have something new and awesome and TOMORROW-like.

I don't bother with Autopia although as a child it was super cool to drive a car. Innoventions lost it's appeal when VMK (Virtual Magic Kingdom) was scrubbed.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Autopia remains popular for kids so I don't see them removing the attraction, but it would be nice if they went more futuristic and did some sort of car of tomorrow (perhaps one that looks to hover or something, I dunno. Even cooler would be if they could actually run on some alternative to gasoline.

Maybe with the upper level used for a more compact version of Innoventions. One with all the wheat, and none of the chaff.
