    rock'n'roller coaster retheme

    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?

    WDW rides in six flags

    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?

    Disney May Be Next in Line to Buy Warner Bros??

    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...

    Disney May Be Next in Line to Buy Warner Bros??

    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 Park Formerly Known as Disney's Hollywood Studios? Yep ...

    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...

    Liberty Mountain

    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.

    Haunted Mansion closing for refurbishment in December and Yankee Trader refurb extended

    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.

    "Der Rhein" - a new boat ride at Epcot's Germany pavilion

    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...

    "Der Rhein" - a new boat ride at Epcot's Germany pavilion

    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...

    The Great Movie Ride

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

    The Great Movie Ride

    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...

    A Redistribution of [Wealth] Fastpass+

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

    Hotel occupancy for the first half of 2014

    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.

    Hotel occupancy for the first half of 2014

    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...

    One more go at the Mickey-themed area at DHS (with an actual (but tentative) name)

    The best building idea I have (although it kinda messes with the black and white -> color thing) is a clock tower, as seen in Clock Cleaners.

    Imagineering a brand-new MK and Epcot for you!

    Google. They do everything now. Communication (obviously), cars, energy investments, space investments, and probably other things we're not allowed to know about. Just kidding about the last part. Solar is the best option because it's really the only one other than oil/gas where the...

    One more go at the Mickey-themed area at DHS (with an actual (but tentative) name)

    For the Donald plane ride, maybe "Plane Crazy?" I know it's a Mickey cartoon, but it could be a humorous attention-grab by Donald in that he's taking over one of the earliest Mickey cartoons. I've got nothing for the dark ride, though. That might be something where it's easier to come up with...

    Tweaking of the Mansion

    The attic is (and has always been) a bit awkward, in my opinion. The interesting part? Always an obsession with decapitation. Constance is obvious, but the Hatbox Ghost and the pre-refurb screaming heads show that this motif has been a mainstay of the ride. Part of the problem with the new...

    it's a lost world: Where does IASW belong?

    The idea is that Future World West is supposed to revolve around man-made things (energy, transportation), and East is about natural things (land, sea). I'd argue that Horizons and Imagination should have been centered. The whole idea is that progress comes from each of these fields, and that...
