    Jetsons Cosmic Orbiter

    At Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi, one of the rides there is a Dumbo-style ride called The Jetsons Cosmic Orbiter, which not only allows riders to raise and lower the ride vehicles, but also, in a twist that has never been done before, as far as I know, spin them around! Here's a video of the...

    Mickey and the Beanstalk as a ride

    It's been a long time... I had been kicking around various ideas for a Mickey Mouse ride for a long time, particularly at WDW's Magic Kingdom, mainly to compensate for the loss of Toontown Fair, many of which I had put up in various degrees on this site. Many of these ideas involved vignettes...

    Rumor Star Tours AND Buzz Lightyear on their way out?

    I'm not sure how valid it is, but according to FreshBaked, it seems that there is a new rumor of Star Tours and the Buzz Lightyear ride being removed from Tomorrowland as part of a new overhaul of the land, along with the Autopia becoming electric and the mysterious Avatar experience replacing...

    What to do about the Speedway?

    I believe that the Speedway takes up a lot of space and yet is a low-capacity ride, not to mention that there is nothing really "futuristic" about a bunch of racing go-karts that use gasoline besides. I (and possibly others) had proposed replacing it with something else. One of my personal...

    How can the back area of the Magic Kingdom be used as expansion?

    I've seen a few threads here and there showing how to expand the Magic Kingdom in the back, behind Fantasyland. However, I would like to know how it can be possible, given that the back of Fantasyland is where they have the entrance to the all-important Utilidors? I would think it would be...

    A totally new ride added to Town Square Theater (feedback wanted)

    This is kind of a work-in-progress... I have done many threads on a Mickey Mouse ride of some kind in WDW's Magic Kingdom to help make up for the loss of Toontown Fair. They all have been done to varying degrees of quality, some of them as adjuncts to the Mickey meet-n-greet on Main Street. All...

    Where could this swing ride go in WDW's Magic Kingdom?

    As you are no doubt aware, I have been pondering for a while (many years) a ride of some kind themed to "Pinocchio" that is not necessarily a dark ride. One of them is a revival of an old concept from back when the California Adventure was being overhauled the first time. Before they went with...

    Will the Little Mermaid ride be changed?

    I'm not sure how valid this site is, but according to Disney Dining, there is some speculation that the Little Mermaid ride at the Magic Kingdom could be altered to be more like the live-action movie: https://www.disneydining.com/this-beloved-magic-kingdom-ride-could-change-entirely-ir1/...

    How can a dark ride concept in the Town Square Theater work?

    This is a continuation of another thread on the WDW General Discussion page: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/main-street-theater-questions.980959/. At first, my questions related to the old Main Street Theater concept were answered (evidently that parking space was for more higher-ups in...

    Main Street Theater questions

    We know that Main Street was supposed to have received a live theater, based on the Willis Wood theater from 1920s-era Kansas City: However, we also know that the project was canceled not too long after it was announced. What I would like to know is, where exactly would it have gone if it had...

    Herbie the Love Bug ride at Disneyland

    I'm a little intrigued by abandoned concepts for Disney attractions. In this case, it's a dark ride themed to Herbie the Love Bug, dating back to around the 1970s or so. It looks cool and all, but from what I know about it, it was supposed to go in Disneyland's Fantasyland. Here's the artwork...

    Buildings in the back?

    Can anyone identify these buildings in the back of the park in between Small World and Star Tours? They are circled in yellow:

    Thoughts on DeviantArt for Imagineering

    What are your thoughts on DeviantArt for armchair Imagineering? I've tried to do it there, and a few others have, but it doesn't look like it's the best place for it because there's so little armchair Imagineering going on compared to other things happening there. Is that really a good place to...

    Streaming vs. physical media

    I've heard many things about the virtues of physical media (such as DVDs or Blu-Rays) vs. streaming. For example, I know that content on streaming will often be pulled, usually because of licensing issues. But don't they also pull physical media from the store shelves, too, after a certain...

    Magic Kingdom after TRON

    I've done many threads to updating the Magic Kingdom in particular, because I've always tried to differentiate that from Disneyland, at least a little bit, while also replicating my ideas in select other parks. The other parks in Florida, and for that matter, the Disneyland Resort, I've never...

    Some unfinished business in Mickey's Toontown

    I've done many threads on updating Mickey's Toontown, and now it's just about to emerge from a real overhaul. It's really not bad at all. However, there are still a few areas for improvement, and I will try and keep as realistic as possible... For instance, I've felt that Donald's Boat's (and...

    How would Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway fit in Disneyland Paris?

    While I'm pretty sure it's not on the table at the moment, I believe there was a rumor that Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway would at some point be added to Disneyland Paris, presumably in Fantasyland. I'm not sure how it would fit thematically, though, particularly since it was deliberately...

    "The Greatest Circus Mystery" (new movie for Disney Plus)

    This is an idea for a movie on Disney Plus, and it stars Mickey and the gang... I've actually thought about this ever since Pete's Silly Sideshow has been a thing (for over a decade now), which is why I had created a thread to it not too long ago...

    Buying online

    I keep hearing about the virtues of buying online (say, at Amazon) as opposed to going into a brick-and-mortar store, one of them being that it saves gas. But when you buy something online, isn't gas still being used for you to get your product? You yourself may not be using gas, but the...

    Why is everything now being spoken in English instead of French?

    Apparently, in recent years, Disneyland Resort Paris has been slowly dispensing French as the main language of the resort in favor of English. Many things nowadays are spoken in both French and English or even just English. Shouldn't French be used more often? I'm sure it must pain the French to...
