On another thread, @marni1971 mentioned:

A Lucasland was mooted a few years ago. It would have brought the Crystal Skull EMV from DisneySea behind the stunt show on the expansion pad.

Magic Kingdom

Western River Expedition
Bald Mountain / Fire Mountain

Israel, Spain, Equatorial Africa
Germany Rhine River dark ride
Venice boat ride
Time Racers

@marni1971 please help me compete this list, with a focus on the big E tickets that never made it.

It was just a retorical question. Something that my mind conjures up almost constantly. Personally though I am unable to make a determination other then maybe an attraction that might interest me. That said though, Muppet Studio's might be the only one that interests me to any degree. Some of those already do exist in California don't they?

Indy is similar but not the same as the one Martin said would have made it into DHS. Also, Crime Stoppers uses the same ride technology. Indy at DL uses the same ride system as Dinosaur at AK, but is done much much better and has an obvious higher budget - more effects and AAs for example.

Yes, I have ridden Indy in Disneyland. Nice ride, but, I also like the stunt show, so I look at is as a trade off. I would be happier if they put a little love in Dino, because that has a lot of unused potential. Then to me we would have the best of both worlds.

Why not keep both? Have an Indiana Jones mini land. That's what I've been saying for years!

I actually remember the advertising board up in front of the Studios advertising the David Copperfield Magic restaurant coming soon. Shame it never worked out.

Isn't this more of an imagineering thing?

Why can't some people on here just go with the flow and stop trying to be such tattle-tales?

Anyway, I remember hearing reports regarding a Brother Bear themed flume ride that were to be inserted at the Canada Pavilion in Epcot. I was pretty intrigued by it. Shame it didn't happen.

Simple. Leave it to the mods to sort things out?

This happens in almost every thread. Instead of bringing something to the discussion, there's always that ONE person who has to play captain obvious because they feel the discussion is out of place. Who cares? If you have something to bring into a certain discussion, please drop it down. Pointing out the obvious isn't gonna give you good karma points, the mods will take care of it either way.
