GMR will always be around. The ride is a popular one in fact but just needs a good refurbishment to brush off some of the dust from way back when. If Disney updated some of the scenes to be more recent movies, that would be great for the ride. As said above, the Chinese Theater is an icon of...

Logically thinking, could Disney afford the millions it would cost to build new monorails? Yes. Could Disney afford to expand the monorail to the other parks on property and spend many millions more? Likely yes. I am an optimistic person, but I see the monorail system being fully upgraded...

It is impossible for a roller coaster to be stuck in the middle of a loop unless acted upon by an outside force

I feel that it is mostly a combination of the fact that Universal is stealing the show and that the Studios is struggling to keep guests and that the Studios lacks nightlife events. In particular, the Frozen fireworks could be the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended) for HS to keep people around...

Clever Idea... It is already partially themed for what Radiator Springs Racers would need. Personally, I would like to see DHS be turned into a park more like DCA.

I rode in early 2013 and they still had the Pearl Harbour part. Maybe just that part of the ride was closed for refurb or it was broken.

The North Carolina Zoo is 2,000 acres (4 times as big as AK) and costs only $12 and I have more fun and find much more to do there than at AK. Just my opinion... But yeah, this has escalated a lot from just the broken track removed for EE.

Lots of people have been blasting me on this thread, so let me be clear in my statements. If I wanted to go to a zoo and see animals (lots more animals than at AK), I would go to the zoo about an hour away from me. And it would cost only $12. The reason that AK is better than a regular zoo is...

The park wouldn't fold just because a major attraction at the park is closed, but it would see a decrease in attendance due to the fact that AK has only a few rides to start with and, I feel it is safe to assume, people come to AK to ride EE because there is no other ride like it in all of...

I am one of those people that counts the monorail as my first ride at Disney, and it *slightly* ruins the magic that the monorail is neglected and unloved.

I don't call Dinosaur a major ride. I hate it and would certainly never ride it again, so therefore I would never consider it a major ride.

And IIRC, the monorails go through a testing period right after they are delivered before they are considered safe/able to carry passengers.

The probable reasoning for Everest not having a long closing is because it is one of the only major attractions (rides) in the park. The only other major rides are Kali River Rapids and Kilimanjaro Safaris. Everything else major is a show. AK is already only a half day (at most) park and if they...

It may be a stupid question, but what does IIRC stand for?

Building a lighter Yeti is completely possibly with the new technology we have now, but to build a new yeti, take to old one out, and then put the new one in would require so much work. A new yeti would still require a foundation, so they would either have to build a new foundation or fix the...

I haven't heard too much about the automation, but I believe that it is so the monorails can drive themselves and the pilot only has to open and close the doors... Is this correct or is there more than just this?

By automation system do you mean automated platform gates?

My thoughts were that they would start the upgrade around early 2016 and finish in late 2017, into early 2018. 2 years at most is what I would expect depending on how much they have to change with the current infrastructure to make it what they would need it to be. And I'm not saying that Disney...

You are correct, it would be Mark VIII monorails; Disneyland had Mark I, II, III, V, and VII, while Disney had Mark IV and VI. If they upgraded the system, it is so much more than just bringing in new trains and getting rid of the old. It is a guarantee that the length and size of the new trains...

I guess I will just have to ride the WDWRR more!
