Certainly true lately but a number of original Islands of Adventure attractions are screen free, so they could if they wanted. Not that I'm getting my hopes up...

If I had to guess what the main restaurant-related guest complaint would be, I would guess "I couldn't get a reservation for Be Our Guest" beats "I don't like making reservations at all" by an order of magnitude. Maybe Skipper Canteen was intended to serve as a test for eliminating Magic...

I suppose if the restaurant now shows up in the online reservation system, even if it's not available for any day but today, people will at least see it and know about it? I just hope that the system somehow makes it clear that it is a same-day reservation restaurant only, rather than simply...

What, nobody likes Test Track 2.0? Or nobody likes it... quite enough? ;)

Hall of Presidents is an excellent choice to me :D Haunted Mansion '07 would definitely be a refurb done right. In fact, it's hard to think of a runner-up for that category. Putting Johnny Depp in Pirates? Tastefully muted, perhaps, but doesn't really add anything beyond character...

Hmm... I predict Jungle Book/Tarzan character dining, unless they can come up with an Adventureland-style princess to wedge in there (Moana?)

I'd heard people on other boards blaming the lack of ADRs for the low attendance - people like to plan their meals ahead so they feel like they know they can get a table, apparently. But that said, I bet there's some interesting stuff they could do if they really upped the Jungle Cruise...

Thinking about the er... shall we say... more problematic overhauls at Disney World (Journey into Your Imagination, Tiki Room Under New Management, etc) can leave one a little depressed, so I thought, why not think about attraction overhauls at Disney World that actually worked? Granted, not...

I'd be very nervous about any changes to Muppet Vision 3D. From what I've seen of the Muppet's oeuvre, 1991-1992 represented the absolute pinnacle of Muppet writing - Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Vision 3D - that has not been equaled before or since, although there have been occasional...

I find I'm generally able to suspend disbelief for those things on soarin personally. It's the shoes hanging overhead that bother me to no end lol

You just know that somewhere in the vaults of Imagineering is a set of plans for an awesome Tomorrowland Jazz Club starring animatronic aliens and robots that we'll probably never see. Speaking of DHS nighttime spectaculars, I hope they eventually come up with something broader than...

Seeing Fantasmic in its original home in Disneyland's Rivers of America... Suddenly everything makes sense! That's why for the boats!

lol Imagineer #1: But how can we guarantee that World Showcase stays a sure-thing people eater for all time? Other Imagineers: Hmmm.... Imagineer #2:

Just to be clear, it's not really IP in-and-of-itself that I have a problem with - it's the much weaker sense of illusion and immersion (and therefore, ironically, the least fantasy of all the lands!) Indiana Jones can live quite naturally in Adventureland and Song of the South can work nicely...

Yeah, that's pretty much where I came down, too, although it's sad because I do love Main Street. I actually remember seeing some concept art for a park (early Shanghai? Dubai?) where Fantasyland WAS the Main Street. I thought that was interesting, and might even work. That said, I feel kind...

Maybe a change that would make sense of all the recent closures? :geek:

O_O Don't toy with me like that

On an unrelated note, Dynastyland should definitely feature the "Country Panda Jamboree." That is all.

It occurred to me, after staring at maps of Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland as well as a bunch of armchair Imagineering park designs, that poor Frontierland gets the shaft WAY too often. Now, I understand that the Chinese may not have any particular interest in the American Wild...

Yeah, there was a time when MGM was my favorite park as well! There was something about it that seemed (to a kid) more grown-up, more intense, more thrilling, maybe even a little more threatening. The looming Tower of Terror was a big part of that, of course, but Catastrophe Canyon, Monster...
