Why spend $200 million on E-Ticket every 20 years when you don't have to? How many people here think the MK is close to perfect as is? As scary a thought as is. That said, the Incredibles coaster idea died when Universal got the exclusive rights to the technology. I know Tony Baxter has something in mind for DL, which will very likely happen ... but the MK? Who the hell knows? I have heard Narnia mentioned, but I have to wonder what kind of drawing power that would have. It's no Harry Potter, that's for sure.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I disagree somewhat. Yes, they should totally fix up what's already there, but, they should expand with new attractions as well (and not some new playground, either). If you're going to be the #1 theme park in attendance, you should be leading the way in EVERY aspect and should NEVER just 'sit on your laurels'! The Magic Kingdom is LONG overdue for a new E-ticket ride, especially with the removal of 20,000 Leagues!
Originally Posted By DVC_dad This is good news to me that the attraction will go there. I know it was a rumor that that would be the spot for a new E like 2 years ago. My only concern is what will happen to COP asit sits right in BETWEEN the old sky station and the forever empty stage area. I would hate to lose the COP as it's nostalgic value to me is immeasureable. Really, I'd like to see it back at DL where it sort of belongs, but there's certainly no room for it there.

With Uni getting Potter I really hope there is some answer -- expand work with Lucas - work with New Line Cinema on lotr ( even with Peter Jackson gone from that fold - at least for now) - if he really does settle the money dispute and they make the Hobbit - that could be the a very good drawing card. I think the drawing power of the CS Lewis stuff is limited somewhat by fringe groups that strive to make sure the religious message either gets thru or is highlighted as negative - more controversy there (unfortunately)

Originally Posted By Bob Paris "I am unaware of an official WDW Radio anything. Period. This sounds like a geek podcast to me." Nope. Never said it was official. The WDW Radio Show Podcast is hosted by Lou "They just cut out all the benefits on the Dining Plan and THAT'S GREAT!!!!" Mongello, who also wrote a few Disney World trivia guides. The show recently won an award for best travel podcast. If you can get past his iunceasing, never ending praise of EVERYTHING at WDW(the guy even finds a way to praise the damned "Dream Squads", as if getting a churro is somebody's dream......yeah, maybe a visiting Cuban refugee family!), he has some pretty good and indepth interviews with Disney Imagineering legends. He has some pretty good inside sources(and I guess he would, for all the ass-kissing he does!), so we shall have to wait and see what happens here.

"Why build one when you can build TWO at the same time" You know.. *anyway* we can get new attractions, I say GO FOR IT.
Originally Posted By mrkthompsn I think Cars was their best movie from a technical point of view. I've watched that movie more times that any other Pixar movie (thanks to my 4-year-old boy). I'd vote for a Cars II (over-development of Radiator Springs). When a Pixar movie comes out on DVD, we're the first ones in line to buy it. I don't care to ever own Ratatoilleee (or however you spell it). I just wasn't impressed by that movie. I can tell Toys R Us isn't impressed with it either.

It opens here in Australia I think next week, just in time for the September school holidays. I heard a reviewer on a local radio station going positively C-R-A-Z-Y for it on Thursday night. He gave it 5 out of 5 and said it was one of the best movies he had ever seen and he "wished all movies were as good as this!" I will have to sit down and watch it, since it intrigues me just how much people seem polarized over this film.

Originally Posted By SpectroWishes321 I didn't know what the movie WALL-E was about so I looked it up on Wikipedia. WALL-E sounds like it would make a perfect attraction for TL.
