MK needs to do what Disneyland did before the 50th anniversary and refurb everything in the park including freshening up classic attractions like Space, Autopia, Jungle Cruise and more. MGM needs a great plan. A plan which would include a re-thinking and restructuring of the park, including many new ride-able attractions. Epcot is one of the 2-parks at WDW that have a start towards what "could" be the beggining of getting the parks in creame of the crop shape. Still, there is much work to continue with at Epcot including SpaceshipEarth and Imagination. And Animal Kingdom is the other park I think has a great start towards becoming creame of the crop with Everest and Nemo arriving. Now the park just needs to continue on its home run streak of 2 with more top quality attractions. Everything must be TOPS in execution.

Peter Pan's Flight, yep, those are real pirate ships - and that is the real-live city of London down below.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 I obviously agree that MK's Toontown Faire is majorly lame in comparison to DL and TDL's TT's. I did however ride Goofy's Wiseacre Barnstomer for the first time at night and thought, "wow, this could be a great ride vehicle to use for a much grander scale attraction. I loved the twists and turns of the Barnstomer and how the speed is slow enough to actually enough the scenery yet thrilling enough to be exciting.

Including what could be done beyond the railroad, that's quite a large plot of land that could transform into something quite grand. I would be a fan of eliminating the Tomorrowland Speedway. In tangent to that project, also eliminate the Studio Tram Tour at D/MGM, and replace that with a Pixar Cars road course track with character cars for guests to ride in. Earthquake Canyon could remain part of that road course, and transformed to look like the outer edges of Radiator Springs, where Doc and Lightening McQueen "Dirt Race". Tow Mater could be placed up in the Earthquake canyon "hill" cheering on the racers, saying "Watch out for them wiggly spots! Is that a gullywasher I hear comin?". The land occupied by the Tomorrowland Speedway could be divided up, and the Tomorrowland Horizons attraction (better than the original EPCOT version) could be built next to Space Mountain.

Could also add Woody's Roundup outdoor amphitheater to one side, and move The Many Adventures of Pooh within the same "mountain" structure of Grizzly Mountain. Something else (hint, hint) could replace Pooh in Fantasyland. Would need a new sizable draw bridge to get to the island tho.
