Also I'd like to see more for the Resorts again as some are making a comback as well...Especially for Pop Century...

I just wish we could get resort-specific coffee mugs again.
The system they have makes no sense-
Most resorts have none.
The Poly had one but it was ugly.
Wilderness Lodge had like four.

Now this is they way the mouse should be going to make money. Giving people what they want. It was depressing to get off the Tower of Terror and find 1 tiny wall with ride merchandise. Hopefully they have realized the error of their ways. Yeah it is going to cost me money because I am going to buy it, but that is what I want to spend my money on. Awesome unique gear, not Disney Parks branded T-shirts. Bravo Mickey...

When was the last time you rode Tower? Their gift shop is one of the few which offers almost exclusively ride merch.

I think Pirates does pretty well. Granted a lot of it could be taken as movie merch, but a lot of it as generic Pirate stuff like Jolly Roger flags, eyepatches, toy guns, etc. And then there are some references to the ride like the key they sell (from the dog and key).

Especially compared to...

Honestly I think the worst attraction merch is my favorite ride Splash Mountain. It desperately needs a revamp!

Agreed. Splash used to at least sell plushes of Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear, but those have since replaced by Thumper. The best you can get in there is the occasional tshirt, but those are all pretty gaudy; certainly lacking the subtlety of the Everest t-shirts posted earlier. How about just a tshirt with a reference to Chick-a-pin Hill, with a silhouette of the mountain?

Any of the attractions in Future World. I do have a Test Track tee, but would like one from
the others, Lands, Seas, Imagination etc.

THIS. This this this. Almost no merch exists for the individual pavilions unless their names are Test Track and Mission Space - and even those are limited. It'd be great if Disney took the retro Epcot merch concept that they sell for the park overall (the logo shot glasses and stuff, in places like MouseGear) and created them for each individual pavilion. Some of the pavilions like Seas or Soarin' should be easy.

Yeah the merchandiceing team needs to step up their game and release some items on line with the quality of diagon and hogsmeade, but I still have hope becuase the new Tower of terror and haunted mansion authentic lines look really good.

I remember at one point the Splash Mountain gift shop had Brer Rabbit merchandise (I once got a really cool non-Disney book of Brer Rabbit stories there). Now you can find the same merchandise anywhere else in the park. What the heck?

The last time i rode Splash last summer a couple of the items in the gift shop was Disney characters on a bowling shirt.. they could definitely use a new merch campaign.

People really love those vultures with the top hats and tuxedos... Make some more merchandise with them and they'll probably sell like hot cakes.

Big Thunder Mountain really has some potential for attraction specific, especially with both coasts receiving some additions (WDW's queue and DL's ride). It has a great back story like Mansion and Tower. If it was close to becoming a television show, I think it is the closest to having it's own Disney Parks merchandise line.

I also really like what the Co-Op at Downtown Disney has offered with regards to Adventureland themed merchandise. It touches on a bit of every attraction. I'd really love to see Tomorrowland get the next treatment. I'd have one room of my home with a tiki flare and another with a retro future flare while the bedrooms are themed to Mansion and Tower and perhaps another room in a country western Big Thunder look.
