Just because Pixar has been one of Disney's saving graces .. does not mean they run amuck with every new ride/attraction something out of a Pixar film. There's so much other material out there to use. It's world completely within a "Pixar" vacumn! My hope with Lassetter's career having spent several years at DL in the 70s will teach him that the future of the "MK" parks need to continue a tradition of attractions that CAREFULLY blend in the reality .. the surrealistic .. and the out-right cartoon-come-to-life material.

"TurtleTalk" type show Incredibles Buzz Lightyear Cars/Grand Prix Raceway God knows what they want to do to Space Mountain & TTA. Look at that line-up All Toon stuff. I'd rather 'stuff' be a four letter word though! What a shame ... This will be the official end of Tomorrowland in WDW. God help Disneyland's.

Originally Posted By bean CHIMIKE beat me to it. Incredibles and space mountain are not a definate go. Don't blame WDI.

Starting with Midway Mania which was designed specifically for DCA's pier and now they feel they need to build it at MGM's Millionare building to save money and beat the DCA's opening date. Same is happening with Monsters Talk which was figured for another park and yet again the "incredibles attraction which was also designed for DCA. Basically letting other resorts spend money on R&D then insisting they get clones. Thank Jay rasulo and Michael (bright ideas - rolls eyes) for the globalization of resorts where cloning will get worse not only in attractions but entertainment.
