In a perfect world, I'd level the whole thing and start fresh. This isn't a perfect world, so I'd overhaul the ride to better fit the 1930's atmosphere of Sunset Boulevard. A gangster theme, perhaps? Maybe a jazz theme?

Quite frankly, Rockin' Rollercoaster. It has some theming, but not much. The Dark Knight at Six Flags Great Adventure is honestly on a similar level thematically, and that's a minor ride. I really like to complain about RnR, don't I?

The IP crossover possibilities are undeniably awesome from a fan perspective (Roger Rabbit), and could be quite profitable (Marvel/DC), but really, this isn't worth the money it would cost Disney. They'd have to take out a loan worth about 1/3 of the combined company's value. I'm not a...

Let's think about what really counts here. Space Jam 2. The pitch: LeBron James teams up with such stars as Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, and Captain America to fight off Thanos, Darth Vader, Emperor Zurg, Bad Pete, and a variety of masked villains from Scooby Doo.

The wrench has little to do with music, and everything to do with time. Music is recorded in studios, so being in movies isn't a concern. What is a concern is that Sunset Boulevard is designed as a 1930's era street, and then we have a giant Fender Stratocaster and blaring 1970's music mere...

I've been reading for many years, and never have I seen four sentences of this quality strung together in a row. Congratulations, sir. You are a true hero to us all.

He's the main character of a much-anticipated movie. This refurb isn't long enough to make it happen, but he's got a shot eventually.

So there are a lot of ideas going around, but why not throw another one into the mix? One concern with a historical ride is that we'd have to dodge a bunch of history. My thought was to instead focus on a more specific aspect of German culture/history: Grimms' Fairy Tales. It could use some...

Maybe to counteract your concerns about the boat ride, switch it out for a car ride? World Showcase is already heavy on boats, and you could (hypothetically) grab a German car manufacturer as the ride's sponsor. Toss in an Autobahn sequence, and you've got an appealing addition that adds some...

A small scene in the Don's office would be nice. Iconic, and relatively easy to build.

The Godfather all day. The easy answer: because Hollywood Studios is about movies, not about Disney. It's the exact same premise as EPCOT Center. Disney didn't invent the Internet, and can hardly even design a functional website, but the generalized idea of the Internet is included in...

You can get more FastPasses. The catch is that you have to go to a kiosk, unless things have changed in the last month.

You stole my post.

DisneySea is near-perfect, yet got more expansion than the incomplete Animal Kingom. Fair point. If I recall correctly, the queue AAs were non-compliant and looked a bit off. More in line with GMR's Sigourney Weaver than something like Ursula.

When Avatar opens, Animal Kingdom will be nearing 20 years old. The only additions in that time? Kali River Rapids (within a year of park opening, so it's more of a Phase 2 than anything), Chester and Hester's Dinorama (we all know how everyone feels about that), Festival of the Lion King, and...
