Please remove those ugly rocks that Tony Baxter added in 1998. I get that Mr. Baxter was facing ugly executive forces in Paul Pressler for the overall New Tomorrowland project, but the design decision to go with those rocks was just bad, bad, bad.

I mean seriously, how could you screw this up that badly?...
And then 20 years later, you still don't want to correct the huge mistake because your theme park division only created $4.2 Billion in after-tax profit to the Company's bottom line for the year???
Seriously, I'm increasingly convinced that TDA is filled with idiots.
But if Mr. Damaro and his latest gaggle of TDA suits takes this one, last opportunity to fix a two decade old wrong before absolute chaos descends on the park this June, then I'll admit that maybe they aren't as idiotic as they seem. Now let's see what they do this winter with this five month long Astro Orbiter rehab.
I can also vaguely remember America Sings.
I actually liked America Sings better than Carousel of Progress. Not that Carousel of Progress was a bad show, it was great, but America Sings was just so incredibly kitschy that even in the 1970's you knew you were watching something weird and wonderfully of its time.
It hurts to go on Carousel of Progress now out at WDW, since the lowered standards of WDW means they maintain it like a dusty window display at a Woolworth's. But America Sings at Disneyland, now that was special. And also hysterically and awesomely corny.
To this day my Dad says it was his favorite Disneyland attraction (and he’s not that into Disneyland). For whatever reason it stuck with him. That and America the Beautiful/ Circlevision.

Every Star Wars fan descending on Disneyland this summer is going to want to ride Star Tours in addition to experiencing GE. In fact, it wouldn’t be a terribly bad idea to double down on the Star Wars presence in Tomorrowland while GE is fresh to satiate the crowd’s appetite for all things Star Wars.
If TDA does the smart thing trying to balance out crowds between the east and west sides of DL, opening up the pathways on the east side of the park is just as important as clearing the west side thoroughfares. There’s really good reason to move the Astro Orbiter deeper into the land.

I wonder if the Astro Orbiter would fit where that spinning rock is now. Then turn the entire dead Starcade into Space Mountain queue.
