Where? Good idea, but where would you put it? I can't imagine they would think of taking out Pirates, and I can't picture where they would have enough room over there for a ride like that. I thought they were terribly adamant about not having anything that visible from the lagoon.

After Everest, I'd hate to see MK's next attraction be a thrill ride. Perhaps something more like the scrapped Western River Adventure - i.e. a "Haunted Mansion" style attraction that proves WDI can capture spirit of decades past to continue a fresh new style of "E-Ticket."

Well, if Alien Encounter was considered an "E-Ticket," then the next "E-Ticket" to show up in MK will be Stitch. I realize that Stitch is replacing a similar attraction, but it's still "new." It has a new title, new characters, new story, new music, etc.
I, for one, didn't ever really consider Alien Encounter to be an E-Ticket attraction. I liked it plenty, but it didn't have a whole lot of repeat value.

Parade floats travel behind Jungle Cruise though.

Bad idea, if it extends so far into guest view... ??

I guess I'd consider SGE an E-ticket. But you also know what I mean by it sorta isn't because so much will the be the same. I see your point. I guess it should be labeled an E-ticket, but exactly the same way the mountains or AE was.
And I would definately consider AE an E-ticket because of the brand new technology used in it. Just because something is not a ride doesn't mean it can't be an E-ticket experience. And come on do you think WDW would make AE long shot glasses for something that wasn't an E-ticket? :lol:
I guess I'm in the minority here but I really don't see how alot of people think of AE (and SGE for that matter) as not having repeat value? I think it has (or had) the most repeat value of any show on Disney property because "stuff" actually happens to you. You aren't watching something like Beauty and the Beast or Indiana Jones where you just watch performers. I can see that it might not have the same repeat value as an actual ride to some people, but again AE (and SGE) is a show so it won't have the same type of repeat value as a ride. Even though I could see AE all day long and never get bored, I guess I could see how a non-die hard fan might think otherwise. But, again, do you honestly know of any other shows that have better repeat value (nightime spectaculars excluded
)?

Ah, yeah, don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Alien Encounter and never missed it during one of my yearly visits. I just wouldn't consider it on the same scale as these:
Splash Mountain
Space Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean
etc.
I'd consider something like Wishes and Illuminations to have better repeat value than AE, as well. They just have a much bigger "wow" factor, and also give a much more "Disney" and "magical" feeling for me.
And, BTW, Bill, TTA is open on E-Ride nights as well. Does that mean it's an E-Ticket? No. My favortie attraction? Yes.

Tunnel under Jungle Cruise....uh-uh.
Can't for various reasons.
The only way to squeeze Fire Mtn. into Adventureland would be to stick it at the end of Caribbean Plaza. It would be possible (but way expensive) to move some of the parade and entertainment facilities around back there, and put the Mountain next to the Pirates bldg. Unlikely though.

I for one would love Fire Mountain to come in, but that will probably never happen.
I'm sure that the next thing up for MK is a replacement of the 20K Lagoon. The rumors are a theater though, with a show. It could be used for so much more other than a theater, it could be used for an expansion of Toontown, which needs some type of attraction desperately. I would hate to see Mermaid Lagoon in the area. If we can't get a Toontown expansion, then we should get a new Fantasyland ride at least.
