Sure, it's more ambitious and expensive, but a sub ride in DL doesn't really qualify as "new". The show is new, but the ride is same old same old.

Nemo Subs will probably have as much in common with the old subs as CTX has with Indy. In other words... not a heck of a lot.

Preferably, something new that follows suit from Star Tours to Indy with the introduction of a unique ride system to the park, i.e. not another dark ride or coaster.
Originally Posted By idleHands Again, I used to feel the same way. But at this point, I don't care if the E-Ticket is the New & Improved Second Comingâ„¢ of an old favorite. I just want some new rides, dangnabit!! "I think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today yeah The guests are going all mad When rides go away. Oh they want E-Ticket to ride They want E-Ticket to ri-i-ide They want E-Ticket to ride But Jay don't care."

Mr. Toad, Songs of the South, swiss family Robinson (yes I know), Roger rabbit, even the cartoons that parts of Canal Boats mention.
Originally Posted By ihaveaquestion3 I think there will be a lot of changes in the park after the 50th celebration hype is over. One of which I hope will be ticket prices going down! YAY!!!!
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Good luck on that one. If ticket prices stay steady, that would be an achievement.

The current building is quite visible from Toontown, where you can see a green wall rising above the downtown facades of the Roger Rabbit building. There are even some strange diamond shapes that appear to have been part of the facade at one point that are now part of the building. It would be fairly easy to turn this into more hills and buildings to surround the land, so I don't think it would nessecarily be the worst thing ever.
