AT the very least, it isn't a Pixar themed makeover (I hope). Please share any rumors you've heard!

I just wonder what kind of theming you can really put on an outdoor coaster like Screamin. It's not like a Big thunder or Matterhorn where you have "natural" scenery where you could install scenes. Screamin doesn't really have any areas beside the track to add stuff. I'd love to hear what the plan is.

I actually had to go to YouTube to see parts of WDW's Fantasmic! since no one on the boards really couldn't answer my past questions about them, lol.

Originally Posted By lesmisfan well disney does have a certain charm to it, and i would not describe the pier as charming and yes it does need more family entertainment and if that means characters than so be it.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I'd like to see the area become more charming and have more of a "Disney" feel to it without the use of characters.
