Originally Posted By Moon Waffle I hope what bean says truly pans out...in this day I have a hard time believing three new attractions can be built and open in basically a two year window, especially when nothing has been done yet.

The track is the big project and hopefully it is done correctly this time. I pray they don't just ressurect the peoplemover. Tomorrowland needs to be about NEW ideas.
Originally Posted By plpeters70 "I pray they don't just ressurect the peoplemover. Tomorrowland needs to be about NEW ideas." But what if they just call it something like "Mickey's Magical Futuristic People Moving System"? I mean, it's got everything a new ride for Tomorrowland needs these days - characters and a name that says "The Future" without actually being about the future. They could even install cute little figures of Mickey and Friends in space suits along the track. Yeah, that's the ticket...

It should fit right in with the rest fo the park.
