    It is not popular at any of the parks it is in. Very, very tired.

But, it isn't a classic, memorable movie that other attractions are based on like 20,000 Leagues, Peter Pan, or Jurassic Park or E.T. at Universal. It was fun for its time, but it needs to go. Hopefully something better will come along soon.

    Now, as for the Muppets, I ALWAYS want to see MuppetVision. Sure, its old now, but the Muppets ARE classic characters, and very timeless. I wouldn't mind a new Muppetvision movie, but, I still like the old one, too and will make a point to watch it on every visit to WDW. I can't say the same for HISTA.

    There are changes in the works that would basically affect everything from Star tours to innoventions

    Star Tours 2.0 will be themed to the entire six films.

    The way Tomorrowland has been discussed in several threads here on LP for the last few months .. have been in "one new attraction every few years" sort of way .....

    but rather .. when added all up .. from:
    1.Peoplemover track
    2. Innoventions
    3.Starcade
    4.Honey, I shrunk the Audience
    5. Star Tours
    6. Star Trader
    7. Astro Orbitor
    8. the rocks in the front rumored to come out

    This ain't no "one attraction here .. one attraction there for the next couple of years" scheme.

    We're talkin' TOMORROWLAND IV

    So far ... we all are downplaying our discussions on Tomorrowland improvements ....
    But this is really going to be as big as the improvements for DCA 2.0!
