Originally Posted By mousermerf I can't figure out GFS...? Oh, Flying school? Yeah, tear that down - I already said that'd make a better dirt lot and the fun wheel is in that weird architecturally iffy zone, but in general principle, it's really not too great - neither is screamin.

Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I love Screamin' too - it is one of my favorite rides anywhere. And I am glad (not ecstatic) that Maliboomer is going away.

And with all the attractions being added to DCA, I don't really get the concerns about it not being replaced with another attraction.
Originally Posted By Hista98 I don't think it will be replaced, the space is far too small to really be anything else. plus even if they did retheme it, it wouldn't work as the type of ride maliboomer is did not come into existance until the 1990s

As I recall, the imagineers didn't have the time or the money to come up with enough attractions so they stuck things like Maliboomer, Jumpin Jellyfish, Orange Stinger, and the entire route 66 area as a sort of temporary placeholder until they could afford to finish the area properly.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I remember reading something like that too. Maybe someone was speculating at the time, because it certainly seems like a reasonable assumption given the simple design and construction of these attractions.
