HKDL is a wonderful little park from all appearances. But it needs a good decade of MAJOR additions/expansion -- and people coming thru the gates before they can even think about a second gate. ALthough a water park may be doable sooner. And Jay Rasulo's grandiose global plans seem to be designed by the same folks who brought us the war in Iraq. Clueless. Shanghai looks DOA ... and Singapore just went to Universal. Great work, Jay. Isn't it getting close to where you decide you need to spend more time with the family ?(oh, and please take Al Weiss along too!)

Personally, my vote is for a villians park/extreme rides ala Islands of Adventure for #5, DisneySea for #6, and maybe RoadTrips idea for #7.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss Disney did install something new, but it did not happen to be at the MK. I think we fans get myopic about the parks, when I think the general public sees WDW more as a whole. Expedition Everest was a huge plus for WDW, but in a sense it's overlooked because we're more focused on what we feel is lacking. I'd also say that PhilharMagic came on board not all that long ago, and that is certainly a family friendly attraction. I haven't seen it and don't know how people feel about where it would rate on the old ticket book system, but it's a solid addition from what I understand.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper PhilharMagic is good, no doubt. And, I think that people overlook the non-ride additions. I thought the new firework show was incredible...and I watched it from a tough vantage point. Honestly, I wasn't impressed with Everest...as a ride. It was a very impressive structure but the ride itself lacked as far as I was concerned.
Originally Posted By disneytoon WHAT!!! Expidition Everest is like the coolest addition disney world ever! besides the fireworks at MK, How could you be so disgraceful?! JK
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think EE is a fantastic addition to WDW. It has a great queue, great story, and in my opinion is Disney's best coaster. All of that in addition to being housed in what is undoubtedly Disney's greatest attraction setting/show building. What is not to like?
Originally Posted By disneytoon Everything is incredible, before that park only got like lets say-this is a random guess- but lets say bfore this park got 4,000 people in the park per day. Now its lik 8,000. Great addition it was proven the #1 must see attraction in all of disney world
