While on the topic, let's turn the far left into Atlanatica and put the Little Mermaid dark ride from the DVD in there. To the left of Atlantica, we can have Carland with the test track style Cars ride, only far better and more elaborate than Test Track. In the area b/w Grizzly River Run and Paradise Pier, add something I am not sure what. Up in the Hollywood Backlot, bulldoze Monsters Inc. and Who wants to be a Millionaire! and put in another E-Ticket of some kind.

Originally Posted By lesmisfan I wouldnt mind seeing DCA being a mixutre of mgm studios and epcot. I would love to see them build all the different lands that were originally going to be there when it was going to westcot. it could take up part of the pier area going into whats left of the timon lot.

Your ideas would take at least five times the land you propose to be occupying. There is nothing at all limiting or uninspired with the California theme. It is the half-hearted devotion to that theme that has given us the park we have today.

Originally Posted By bean there has been plans to create a pathway that will eventually open up the ToT courtyard with the new additions in timon. One concern is that FFF works as a deaa end area because it allows for parents and children to roam free without having to worry about children straying away to far. there is only one way in/out of that area.

Originally Posted By markymouse A test track type Cars ride really encapsulates DCA's underlying question of theme.

Or its a terrible idea because it has nothing to do with the California experience. Yes, there are race tracks in California. Just like there are bugs in California. But race cars aren't a "California" story. I'm not sure which answer is right. I just enjoy hearing the - em - discussions.

With more family attractions being planned for the rest of the park I would think that the option of bulldozing FFF would be a viable one. In fact I think it's a really good idea.
Originally Posted By jonvn If anything, CA represents car culture. Well, LA does. I think using autos is a great idea. Maybe not the Cars film, though.

It does sort of "support" TOUGH TO BE A BUG, but that attraction could also be introduced a different way. Or they could go the extra mile and REALLY create an amazing "Bug's Land."
