Exactly. Me too! But seriously, NOTHING is coming to MK beyond the 'reimagination' of Fantasyland. One that been cut back hugely in terms of money and scope as has been documented here by more than one Spirit. Frontierland rumors are the product of wishful thinking by many mixed with blue-sky ideas and 'seemingly' made rational by Disney's developments in China. One could even add in the new Lone Ranger film too, I suppose ... although I haven't heard much about it in 2010. It's just not happening, but it's one of those things if repeated long enough and on enough fan forums takes on a life of its own. Even if Disney did want to spend more on the MK, it wouldn't be in that land. It would be in Fantasyland and Adventureland and possibly Tomorrowland all way before they got to the wild west. So ... no HKDL rolley coasters (forget that the ride is essentially BTMRR meets CBJ without singing with DCA-insired rockwork, so would be repeating what's already there) ... also, no raft rides on TSI ... and no, none, never, ever, ever WRE or major parts thereof. ~Loves Raining on Fanboi Pride Parades~

The Toy Story Land has one only for Asia (since it was already going to Paris), which means no for Tokyo and Shanghai (not that anyone will be crying over it). <<And if it is, like that, maybe it'll be a hybrid...>> Where? Why? How? Seriously, dude, the attraction already exists at MK ... it's called BTMRR ... the AA-part already exists ... called CBJ. Lots of things are floating around, but this one doesn't even make any sense when you think about it. ~My head hurts~

Originally Posted By Manfried If there are rumors being floated then they are playing with ideas, but it also means there are Imagineers secretly trying to get public support for a project. With expenditures so high at the company right now, and the economy still under water, I think they need to watch their costs for a while.

Think about it.<<< Because they know that the people are going to go see FLE are going to see FLE regardless with what they get, and they now want to open the boys demographic in MK, which will be lacking after FLE? Makes sense to me. And I kinda sorta know where they'd put this. It isn't in a "hard" location at all.
