The subs and hydrolaters could be used as transportation to SeaBase Beta. This would be a 21st century version of the Living Seas without Nemo. It would be an entirely new land dedicated to the oceans. A new ride based on the movie the Abyss would be a flying coster that simulates being underwater and seeing aliens. The base would have viewports of real fish and an underwater restraunt. Hydrolaters or the subs could be used to get us back to the surface.

And they just spent all that money on new bobsleds, so they don't want their mountain sinking any time soon.

I actually like the way it looks visually and feel it forms a good transition between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. I especially enjoy seeing it at WDW from the People Mover (what's with the West Coast hate for that attraction? It is one of my favorites!) The only things I really don't like about it are the noise and fumes of the gasoline engines... both problems could be solved by converting them to electric power and entering the 21st Century!

Originally Posted By tashajilek ^^^ LOL i know i wasnt 100% serious. "but can't ANYTHING in the Disney Parks be just for kids?" Thats kind of how i feel. There are people with small children who think Autopia is boring, but if it gets torn down and replaced with a ride that children cant ride then they will complain. If Autopia can be updated into the future then i think it should remain.

" LOL, well raw broccoli would get me to stay away! "Autopia Deb, if the emission problem of Autopia was really just propaganda, would there be a lot of people hating on it?

Most people think the ride is dated and takes up a lot of space which is does. Most people like myself can stand the emission from Autopia for a few minutes, but it wouldnt hurt to clean it up.
