That's all it needs.

I don't see how you could ever have such a thing anyway. The problem is Disney has been neglecting all four WDW parks since the 1990s and they can't do a quick fix here and a quick fix there when each park needed hundreds of millions in investment on everything from attractions to entertainment to dining to infrastructure ... << Quit being such a Debbie Downer.Baby Steps as Bob Wikey says.

They have the room for a Carsland right back there at Backlot Tour. They could easily convert BLT into a walking attraction by eliminating the fluff. Plus they could get the Parks real Icon back in the game again.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<However just one really good E ticket will do it for now.>> While I'm never going to say no to an E ticket, the park is almost all E-tickets at this point. It needs some smaller attractions to flesh it out. Same with DAK. I hope The Muppets ends up being a big hit. DHS could use some more Muppets. <<They have the room for a Carsland right back there at Backlot Tour.>> Ugh...I hope Carsland doesn't come to DHS. Not that I'm not uber excited for Carsland and Radiator Springs Racers, but I just do not want it in DHS. Gimme something new, like an Incredibles attraction or something of that sort. I do agree the BLT should be killed sooner or later though. <<Plus they could get the Parks real Icon back in the game again.>> While getting rid of the hat and restoring the Earful Tower would be great, it doesn't do much to improve the park, IMO.

And what about the little park on Lantau ... heard the Force is strong there.

You see a black and white photo of a tourist, in tourist attire, who clearly has no place in the Star Wars universe<< That's not just a random black and white photo-- it's one of the guests that is actually there in the Star Speeder. And we ARE in the Star Tours universe at that moment.
