Building movers can move an entire 100+ year old lighthouse 300 feet to safety away from a deteriorating beach line as demonstrated in a recent Learning Channel show .... But Disney can't redesigned a backstage area? They just don't WANT to .. because it entails spending more money .. and means spending more effort.

I do realize they expanded into the store area, but why couldn't WDW do the same? I do hope this is not just like Turtle Talk, but something bigger, and improved. WDW doesn't need two of the same kind of attraction...they already have some of those.
Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp "To enable them to get buses and trucks into the area to service that side of Main St? No they couldn't." Haven't been back there too many times, but I don't recall this parcel of land backing onto either a lake, or a wilderness reserve. Absent those two deal-breakers, then it isn't that Disney "couldn't", it's that they don't want to spend the money, which makes it "won't".

They should have made it into a nice restaurant (MK needs SOME) where they could utilize the 360 vision theater as well. Now THAT would have been cool.

It's not just the fact that the appeal of such a show is lacking for us. It's the fact that it's one more attraction that will not fit the Tomorrowland theme and--since it's so close to the main entrance of the land--it's a glaring out-of-place jolt. ORWEN: Of course I really don't think it fits in ANY of the Magic Kingdom lands. It would have fit much better over at Disney M-G-M--where it could have replaced that dreadful Drew Carey monstrosity that never should have been created to begin with. ORDDU: In the meantime, Time Keeper should have just remained where it was unless and until the Imagineers could have come up with a better idea. No attraction should ever be taken away from us unless it can be replaced by something much better. Somewhere along the line, present management has lost their grip on this concept.

Originally Posted By Skellington88 If you guys dont like that Tomorrowland is turning into toontown why dont you write a letter to imagineering, complain at city hall at the magic kingdom, and/or send Disney corp emails? Im sure now with new management (Iger/Lasseter/Jobs) they will be more willing to listen to critism and concerns. Just do it its not gonna hurt anything and it will only help our cause!

Imagine THAT in CV 360!!!
