Are there any imagineers left that are able/willing to do that?

Attractions in the future:What I would love to see....
- Thread starter earnedmyears2000
- Start date
LOVE all these ideas. I really do! Here's my two cents:
MK - Tangled has staying power - put something more than a restroom there. Tom Sawyer Island - Make an interactive scavenger hunt on the island. Have more "people of Main Street" type characters in each land. (Adventure Club type folk in adventure land,etc etc) Turn Tomorrowland into a steampunk tomorrow-that-never-was concept.
Epcot...oh Epcot. Complete overhaul of the Imagination Pavillion with Figment. and the Universe of Energy Pavillion. Turn Soarin into a World showcase soarin. I'm actually ok with not adding more countries (even though Thailand sounds pretty cool) But i would love an actual ride in each current country. Do away with the movies and incorporate some sort of semi-educational ride.
DAK - Another Mountain. Do away with most of Dinoland (especially the carnival aspect) And add an Australian Outback and a South America. There's so much more potential with adding two more contienents vs an alien world.
HS - Star Wars world. Make it huge and do it right. With a Imperial Coaster e-tickets plus a e-wok cutesy kid-friendly dark ride. Scrap Carsland and do a full Pixar Place. Monster Inc coaster, bug's life play areas where HISTK's was, Radiator springs racers, Up or Wall-E soarin-type attraction, Ratalouie TS with an AA rat on the table (lol). The possibilties could be endles there
Again - ther's my two cents for the world to hear!

Well, what would both work and be available license-wise? Saving Private Ryan and the Lord of the Rings are the two that immediately spring to mind. Ooh... keep the jungle stuff from Tarzan, but replace Tarzan with the Predator.

Rather than focus on properties/themes of rides, there's a ride platform that I'm dying to see Disney (or Universal, for that matter) use:
The Gerstlauer Eurofighter.
For those unfamiliar, the Eurofighter platform and its Infinitycoaster derivatives are essentially single-train rollercoaster systems with extensive computer monitoring, so they can run several cars through multiple fast/slow sections simultaneously. So far, the cars can seat up to 8 people and are just as suited to doing slow-paced dark ride scenes as they are top-level rollercoaster maneuvers. Its ability to wallow through overbanked corners or drop below the vertical is practically unmatched. The two main examples of this system being used for thematic/storytelling purposes so far are Mystery Mine at Dollywood and The Curse of Novgorod at Hansa Park in Germany. These are true dark ride/coaster hybrids, arguably more versatile and interesting than the various Revenge of the Mummy rides Universal has built, and I feel like we've just scratched the surface of what this ride system is capable of doing.

I'm just glancing through this but @Matt_Black you are operating under the notion that Universal's deal is based on specific named properties.

Well, that was a stupid term Marvel agreed to, though not unexpected because Marvel did a lot of stupid things in the 90s. Still, even if Disney has to resort to a "cheat" or loophole like they did with the Avengers monorail or the Planet Hollywood Iron Patriot exhibit, they will almost certainly do something in Florida to promote the film, even if it's not in one of the parks proper.

More countries represented at Epcot's World Showcase. I'd also like to see The Great Movie Ride updated.
After my orginal post, I thought about it a little more & thought of a couple more things... The biggest being this: I would add Roger Rabbit in a big way to HS. Make him the ambassador or mayor or something. I know he's like 25 years old and not as relative as the newer characters but he just fits so darn well with the old Hollywood theme. So, with all the other changes that HS needs, i would add Roger Rabbit. Make him grand marshal of a parade, give him a ride, a scavenger hunt type game....geez merchandise & M&G's !!!!
