The night parade was reported as axed by multiple people somewhere in this thread. And the night show sounded like it is teetering on the edge of extinction as well...

Ahhh. So it has gone the way of the dodo as well now? Sorry just trying to clarify

I sure hope this thing comes to fruition. DAK needs a little more TLC. A night water show inspired but Avatar would certainly increase the audience enthusiasm for the project.

"Teetered" as it is now gone and off the table or "teetered" as in it is safely in the plans going forward?
Plus, it's in the wrong park. Whatever does an intergalactic battle (involving toys no less) have to do with Tomorowland?You like Transformers that much!?
Men in Black - Disney ought to close Buzz out of sheer embarrassement.
Similarly, MILF is misplaced, and Stitch just needs to be blown up.

A MILF is never out of place in the MK.
Buzz is in so many Tomorrowlands now. Not futuristic but at least it's in space I guess. Stitch actually is futuristic (even if the original story is clearly in the present). Truth be told, almost nothing in Tomorrowland is futuristic. They have more focused on it just being on an alien planet. Think about all the "better" Tomorrowlands of the world that have Star Tours, which is very clearly set "a long time ago."
Maybe Tomorrowland just be renamed Spaceland - home to: Space Mountain, Intergalactic Buzz, Alien Stitch, Astro Orbitors, and futuristic TTA.
This leaves COP and MILF out of place. MILF should be moved to DHS, and COP would be a nice addition to Epcot. Is there room upstairs in COP to relocate One Man's Dream? Is there even still an upstairs?
Edited to add: And oh yeah, ditch the Speedway!
Where in DAK did you hear it playing?

Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom having any true futurism became redundant in 1982. I see nothing wrong with space fantasy and/or the "Tomorrow that never was concept." Buzz Lightyear, as a person instead of a toy, would make sense in such an environment. Stitch's Great Escape is just poor storytelling. The WEDway was futuristic in its propulsion, but those days have well since passed.
Only Disneyland's Carousel Theater (today's Innoventions) has a second floor.

Hear hear!
Sadly, I think that for the foreseeable future we'll be stuck with the MK as a toddler cartoon park. All the lands suffer from this.
I wish WDW would've build a 5th gate, dedicated to its animated cartoon properties, so they wouldn't infest MK.

I beg to differ. EPCOT no more made Tomorrowland redundant than DAK made Adventureland redundant.
MK's TKL is the natural home for Mission:Space, Test Track. EPCOT is the natural home for large, immersive rides that follow the EPCOT formula. FW functions better without thrill rides, gets a different pace, increases in majesty. TL for it's part would've been awesome with M:S as replacement for Mision to the Moon / Mars, and a ride like TT.

Would not Mission: SPACE be a bit of space fantasy?
Disney's Animal Kingdom doesn't make Adventureland redundant because its more realism of specific locations than the fantasy of the exotic. A Tomorrowland about the actual future is made a bit redundant with a Future World about the actual future.

*majesty*....i like that word. Exspecially associated with old-school EPCOT mentality.
Yeah...i like. Good way of describing how it was!

I see the difference. But I think that overestimates the 'actual future' aspect of TL, which was but one ingredient of TL. Space Mountain is to the future as Tiki is to exotic nature, not Wonders of Flight.
FW is WoM, TL is the TS. (Ha! A sentence formed almost exclusively out of abbreviations, interpunction, and the odd simple verb. We are developing a strict language of formal logic here with which to tackle the world's most pressing philosophical issue, the ontological nature of EPCOT and Tomorrowland )
To my knowledge, Avatar plods along.

Any word on the night time show or parade? Still in the mix?

I really hope so. The park is so beautiful, but so under-built. A night time parade would be fantastic.

IF the Hollywood Studios rumors are true, which of the projects gets underway first in your opinion? (Avatar or HS Redux?)
