The next time they redo IASW what would you like to see?

1. Up grades/ character insertion from DL
2. It to go away and replaced by something new
3. Something else
4. Keep as is just a basic refurb.

I personally would like to see 2 but it will never happen and if they do go with 1 would it kill them to hide the ceiling. It looks so cheap when you look up and see black foam tiles!

You brought up my only issue right at the end there, the current state of the ceiling. Since the major rehab the ceiling is in an absolute terrible state, every so often there are tiles which you can see through right up to the above walkways and tin ceiling. Prior to the rehab this was never an issue and with so many items at high levels its hard to not notice this.

As for the characters, I enjoy seeing them over at Disneyland and think they brought a nice update to that version of IASW but think it is nice to keep the Magic Kingdom version in its current state.

I'm not sure what I'd like them to do other than a basic rehab of painting, fixing mechanical issues, etc. but I know I definitely do not want characters added!
As TheDisneyMagic stated, it's a nice way to keep the MK version as it is. I love it the way it is!

Maybe some more high-tech AAs would be a good addition!

No matter how much people dislike the ride for whatever reasons, I doubt they'll get rid of IASW. Its too much of a classic ride.

I'd like to see the DL update come here. I've never been a big fan of the ride and found it more annoying than anything else, but since it will never go away, might as well at least make it more enjoyable.

It may be annoying to some now, but as a child, I went on it over and over again. Kids LOVE repetition and the song as well as all of the similar looking dolls helps with that. I hope it never goes away, I have video of me singing my little heart out on it as a kid, and I want that for my children (someday).

As for what refurb...i've never noticed the missing tiles on the ceiling, but i'll be looking next weekend. I wouldnt mind the DL refurb, I think it would be a nice change.

I'd like to see them add a giant, roaming fozzie the bear that would act much like a slightly more mentally handicapped godzilla.

But at the very least they should fix the ceiling. Think how cool a fiber optic star ceiling would make that ride look. I think it would actually make it cool enough to ride. Now it kind of has the feeling that your riding through a post-xmas Toys R Us.

IASW is such a love it or hate it attraction for folks - I am skeptical that there is a big, long-lasting demographic of people that will fall in love with it after a few character insertions or other plussing - Its still going to be a slow, sachrine-themed, retro-styled, reppetitive-song-playing, boat ride. I think the more you try and change it, more fans of the attraction will be turned off than non-fans converted.
