You mean in general, or for the Speedway?

In 1989, seven years after the events of the first film, Kevin Flynn, who has been recently promoted CEO of ENCOM International, disappears. Twenty years later, his son Sam, now ENCOM's primary shareholder, takes little interest in the company beyond playing an annual prank on its board of directors.

For the speedway since that was the one you were unsure of.

Read through the thread. Incredible project so far! Some standout attractions and areas for me are
Pacific Wharf Tower of Terror, Western River, Century 22, and An Adventure in Time. Holy cow those attractions were amazing! Don't have much criticisms either. Looking forward to the rest. I said this before but I would be interested in Critter Country.

@D Hindley @MonorailRed and @OvertheHorizon are to thank for those attractions!
Glad you liked it! And for sure -- if you have any ideas for Critter Country the thread is always open!

Something similar to Autopia, where you get to testdrive around in experimental cars. The cars themselves have LED lights and will light up at night in neon colors. The layout of the track will include two bridges crossing over a "river" that cuts through, as well as a bit of a rural area; like a valley or a highland to give riders a more off road feel to it; and a small, fake town from where the ride loading and unloading section and the factory (which will actually be the automobile storage area) is. Well that's my idea anyway.For the speedway since that was the one you were unsure of.
Interesting!
Since nothing is finalized with Sugar Rush and it's a quick fix of wording -- what does everyone else think of this suggestion?
@D Hindley @kmbmw777 @MonorailRed ?

While I agree that we should replace Sugar Rush, what about utilizing Star Wars here. We can then do the Hogwarts express style train ride connected our two gates. Could be enough room to feature a smaller D or C Ticket (maybe a Alien Encounter show with a droid or Ewok) a transportation rig. The setting could be inside of a Star Destroyer or something

If we do an Alien Encounter attraction with Star Wars, I would think it should have something more on the evil side than a droid or an Ewok. We could go Rogue One and have Vader at his scariest. Or we could give that treatment to Kylo Ren. There's a lot of potential for a Star Wars Alien Encounter.While I agree that we should replace Sugar Rush, what about utilizing Star Wars here.

That's a great idea. If I'm not mistaken though, I don't think that Peter Pan acts really as a transition in DLP, but rather the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock are just placed in adventureland. I may be completely incorrect on that.New Thought Process on the Pan/Adventureland Transition....
What if we had a tropical "Neverland Jungle Grotto" Area to transition into Adventureland? It could have the animals from the "Following the Leader" sequence in the movie. Hippos, Monkeys, Rinos, Bears... Maybe even Tick Tock. It'd be our "unique" solution to the "Liki Tikis" found in Hong Kong and WDW.
Thoughts?

I'm generally of the mind that a land should have a consistent identity, whatever that identity is. So to me, there are at least four distinctive ways we can go with Tomorrowland:
1) Sci-Fi Fantasyland: Disney has recently trended this direction already, fusing Buzz Lightyear, Monsters Inc., TRON, and with candidates like Wall-E or Treasure Planet viable. Wreck-It Ralph and Sugar Rush fit like a glove here, and it's a fine approach, but if done it should be the entire land.
2) Genuine Futurism: The Epcot Center route, akin to Tomorrowland '67. I believe our Century 22 and Adventure in Time attractions (which are great) fit this mold. An Autopia which remains genuinely futuristic is tricky. I'd say something like hover cars (maybe just using mirror bases, with LPS tech allowing more freedom to the drivers), in a green tech park-like setting. Called like Autopia 2055.
3) Retro Futurism: Like Paris' Discoveryland, or something from another retro sci-fi era like say Atompunk. An Autopia here would maybe be even more 1950s than the original! Through a Googie-esque sci-fi road trip Americana setting.
4) Star Wars. Remake Tomorrowand from the ground up to be as 100% Star Wars as the upcoming land will be, complete with Hogwarts Express ships to the second gate's sister land. Do Autopia maybe like the speeder bikes on Endor. Nearby is Ewok Encounter - Blue Harvest: Terror Beyond Imagination!!!
I think any of these approaches is valid and could yield something exciting.

Yeah nvm I guess it kind of is. But it's a lot more disjointed in DLP than it would be in ours.

first thing that came to my head and they have always terrified me
So with respect to the bottom right (Tomorrowland) and taking @D Hindley 's suggestions into consideration
I see a few possible options:
1st option
Personally I think a Buzz Lightyear vs Zurg attraction similar to the Alien Flat Ride going into Toy Story Land, would be the perfect transition without going from cartoon to Tomorrowland so drastically. It blends futuristic outer space with villains...so it's a more natural transition to me at least.
Last hear from Figment, her Big Hero 6 attraction was also going to be geared towards Villains, so that flanking Buzz/Zurg was the reasoning behind its placement.
Theoretically...like the Finding Nemo Sub Voyage...you could have that be "Fantasyland"-esque, but located in Tomorrowland. In this situation, it would be Villain Land-esque, but in Tomorrowland.
Basically the first option stays as is.
2nd option
Take out Buzz vs Zurg and Sugar Rush. Leave Big Hero 6 but move it, and have it be part of Villains Land. I really don't want to remove Figment's attractions because she isn't here to defend them and I just don't feel comfortable doing that...so in all of these scenarios...Big Hero 6 needs to stay.
In this option - we go entirely Tomorrowland '67
Adventure in Time is moved to Big Hero 6's current location. Autopia is redone to an electric car "Project City" style speedway, Century 22, Space Mountain, Peoplemover, Rocket Jets, and Space Base Delta round out the main attractions.
^^^This is my choice
3rd option
Star Wars Land
If it didn't work in Endor in Adventureland I'm not sure it's the best fit for Tomorrowland. It would remove attractions like Century 22, Adventure in Time, and so forth...attractions that from feedback so far have been ranked as some of the favorites in the park.
My bet is to save Star Wars for the 2nd park.
