Damn Mike! That would be awesome!!

Edit: Just as long as New Horizons has no stupid Disney IP tie-in

Don't anybody even think about Guardians of the Horizon!!!!!

A Meet the Robinsons flavored version of Horizons could actually work, but it's a film Disney's forgotten.

Great for Tomorrowland but as you said it's forgotten and oviously doesn't make money. Oh well.

There's lots of films that would work well in various locations but will never see the light of day again for the same reason...

Honestly loved meet the Robinsons. Timeless message for sure. Seems like anything between marvel and princesses just fades out though.

I think part of the reason Disney bought Marvel is that they put similarly timeless messages in their stories. Most of the characters are downright Shakespearean. It's not just rock-em sock-em, but they do that pretty well also.

Like Sleepy Hollow for Liberty Square? Maybe there could be hope for Moana in Adventureland as more than just another Tiki Room overlay if the movie is as good as I'm hoping.

Would be great if they could use Moana as a way to ditch the carpets and make Adventureland cohesively tropical again

We're getting into General Discussion thread territory here imagining all sorts of "wishful thinking". Anything new to report on any changes in FW in Epcot?

The last few pages should be enough.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wonder how much room they would have if they removed the treehouse or if they could finally make use of this without harming Jungle Cruise too much and have the entrance closer to the Polynesian area rather than right next to Pirates.

I asked @danlb_2000 this very question. He said no official announcements from Disney.

Thanks. So we'll wait...

Edit: and no permits filed

Personally, I wouldn't evict Nemo, but I'm absolutely in LOVE with with all of the rest of your ideas. I'm especially fond of the IASW idea since I always felt that way myself. It would finally cure the Magic Kingdom of one of its few major original sins as well as bring the ride full circle by putting it in the "permanent world's fair". I'm also a big fan of the Imagination LPS, but that's almost not worth mentioning since just about anyone on a forum like this would be. Only if someone like you was green lighting ideas for Epcot, then it'd be in much better shape than it is now.

I know no attractions are switching parks, but if we're gonna be wishful here, I'd like to see Carousal of Progress relocated to where Odyssey currently sits. Then update it with a proper ending and build it into a pavilion so there is some sort of before and after show area.

Use the opened up space in TL for a new E-Ticket.

Carousel of Progress could be in Innoventions or part of a larger Horizons Century 3 attraction. I'd also love to see a peoplemover in Epcot.

I remember hearing there was space in the Communicore buildings that made room for a Peoplemover track. I wonder if any of that's still there considering all of the changes the buildings went through over the years.

Most of it is. The Art of Disney extension spoilt part of it.

@marni1971, a question that really hasn't been answered and may not be answered. Any chance down the road of a new pavillion being developed? Has this been discussed long-term?

Depends what happens to Wonders.

I wish that they would go watch some of your videos on YouTube and figure out how to bring the spirit of EPCOT back in full. The one on Horizons was awesome and it showed how they could really create rides that needed no IP but stood on their own merits. EPCOT rides should take you somewhere and not just rehash a movie or show a character's castle. Spaceship Earth is great for that reason. A trip through time. Yes, the ending could be better but overall it is awesome.

That's surprising. Do you think there's a way a Peoplemover system could possibly be installed despite Art of Disney?
