"WDI have been tinkering with some ideas for Lincoln when it returns. I'm still for it returning to its original presentation and moving it to a much smaller facility. That theater really should be used for something else. Something that really is the right way for guests to begin their Disneyland day." This sounds good to me. I couldn't care less if the current show comes back or not. I would like to have the original back somewhere, but I do like the idea of having something new go in there.

Hey, Lee, speaking of on the road, do you know any more about where the show is going? The exhibit website still doesn't list an itinerary. I sure hope it makes it's way to NYC someday!

Then use the Opera House for DL 3-D films, which would not have to be limited to the Tomorrowland theme?

"The original talk was Lincoln moving to NOS and a Muppet-based show (possible Muppetvision 3-D but TPP wanted a new Muppet concept) in there." Two Muppet films would be overkill. They would have to get rid of the current one, and if they did make a new film, it would just make sense to put it in the existing MuppetVision building, no? Like I asked above, would Mickey's PhilharMagic fit in the Opera House?
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 As for where to put Lincoln in New Orleans Square...that would be a tough one! Where could he fit over there? Is it possible that he could go into the Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland? I know that might kill any live entertainment in there, but then again...maybe it wouldn't. If they kept the stage front for performances, maybe they could do both?? I don't know, I'm just grasping at straws here...
Originally Posted By dresswhites i kind of hope lincoln doesn't return. I really like the Disneyland Story in the opera house. i think it it is nice to have an attraction devoted to the creation of Disneyland. It seems fitting on Main Street as well. As to the closing of Time Keeper, i hope they do something with the building, WDW's magic kingdom seems to have a large number of empty buildings and locations. -skyway terminals -diamond horseshoe theater -empty theater in Tomorrowland -Keelboat, Canoe landing I always wanted to see Timekeeper. i always heard the show was doomed, because Pressler didn't like it. It is sad to see the show close though with no firm replacement. Sounds like the Disneyland Subs. As to the carrousel of progress going away, good riddance. i may be in the minority her, but the Carrousel Of Progress is boring and very dated.

Originally Posted By RangerPooh I have never seen Timekeeper, as every time that we have been to WDW it was closed. It doesn't sound like it was much of a priority if it was always closed, but then again we are only there twice a year. I too like the COP, and would like to see update to it. The clothing in the last scene screams 1980s. There definately needs to be a more futuristic view at this point. I would like to see that this attraction remain. Maybe a Monster's Inc. Ride would be a nice attraction as Stitch is a bummer of an attraction.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 "gurgitoy2 the original Muppets concept for DL pre-dates DCA." I know, but I was just saying they should not revisit that idea for the Opera House. "Maybe a Monster's Inc. Ride would be a nice attraction as Stitch is a bummer of an attraction." I hope not, since that would be three "toon" based attractions, with Buzz, Stitch, and Monster's Inc. Plus, if an Incredibles attraction was put in....geez! Too many characters! I hope it's an entirely new concept.

Originally Posted By charliesportz There had better be a legit idea getting ready to replace Timekeeper. It nver drew in the crowds, but there was no reason to dispose of it unless something else was waiting in the wings. Here's to hoping it is not dealing with Monster's Inc. First of all, what on earth does Monsters have anything to do with the future. At least Stitch and Buzz are aliens Number 2- Add the Monsters ride to MK and youve got yourself a major Pixar overload. Buzz, Stitch, and Sully all within a few steps of each other... Tomorrowland would cease to exist as Walt knew it. (then again I shouldnt be surprised since anything Disney does these days except Everest is attatched to Pixar's precious children with the MOnsters ride, the Nemo show at Theatere in the Wild, and the Living Seas Nemo refurb... whats next, each EPCOT pavillion gets its own Pixar movie? "Coming soon, Figment and Mr. Incredible take you on a journey into the imagination." I shudder at the thought) As for Carousel. I love it. The song, the corny dialouge, the evrything. It's everthing that anti-"Sticht's great escape" about Disney. I go with the person who suggested going bacl to the original show. Retro vision of the future, which'd fit Tomorrowland since thats supposedly it's theme ( although I wouldn't be surprised if the theme is really "Pixar land: Go to your local video store now!!!"
Originally Posted By mickey_ring There's a lot of floor space, and it is Tomorrowland, so how 'bout a virtual reality something? response to post 77: The Figment Movie. That sounds like an interesting idea. Figment goes in search of Dreamfinder, yada, yada, yada...
Originally Posted By danyoung >Tomorrowland would cease to exist as Walt knew it.< To be fair, Walt never knew the Florida version of Tomorrowland. But in general I agree with your post - Monsters has no business in Tomorrowland. I don't mind the Pixar stuff, but let's keep at least the illusion of a theme, and put Monsters in Fantasyland where it belongs.
