I was amazed at how different the place felt with the somewhat minimal improvement on the Pier. Makes me think that after Mickey's Fun Wheel and the Games of the Boardwalka re completed, it's going to feel even more transformed!

A pier with beautiful victorian archetecture, innovative attractions (there is rumors of another E ticket ride going in the area a few years after Mermaid) and will have a great water show there every night makes the place look pretty cool now. They get rid of the MM and maliboomer and move most of the Route 66 junk and the area will feel like a true Disney land....that happens to be a 'carnival' as well. THAT'S how you create a boardwalk and make it different from all the others.

One of them preferably a boat ride with part of it built with an extended track that goes under the parade route and out to the bay similiar to Splash mountains drop sequence. There is plenty of room on the right side of the lagoon without interfering with the WOC show. The large ditch that houses the SS rustworthy could have easily been used for part of the track area since it already drains into the lagoon. The building could have been tall and even had some rockwork integrated into it to look like a coastline/cliff. It would have been the perfect berm to block most of the Paradise Pier hotel <a href="http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=pn0whp555s6z&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=31461378&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1" target="_blank">http://maps.live.com/default.a...ncType=1</a>

Originally Posted By bean sorry to have confused you. I was just giving out an idea of what that western side of the park could be used for Instead of the beer garden. It has nothing to do with the proposed ideas already in progress or for future possibilities. What i was saying was that the beer garden might have worked better in the northern area of the park allowing the large real estate section on the western sideof the bay to be used for additional attractions. That area is much wider than other areas of the bay and would accomodate bigger show buildings. I would say that whole section used by pizza oom mow mow and Burger invasion is approximately 70,000 square feet. That is enough to have two decent darkrides or one large attraction and a smaller one the size of roger rabbit.

Originally Posted By ni_teach I also enjoy Toy Story Mania and think that it's a fun attraction. Is it as good as PotC or HM, no, but it is a solid ride and great fun. I also enjoy it more than Buzz.

Originally Posted By EmmaJayne 'but TSMM was a huge hit with her.

It was a lot more entertaining to watch even when I missed lots of targets. I loved it from the moment I saw the Mr. Potato Head at the start and was only more impressed by the end of the ride (despite the 2 hours wait in line).
