Rumor D23 Expo 2019 expected announcements

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Alright guys that was fun, but we gotta get this thread back on topic.

I'd love it if they did a Stitch dark ride in Tomorrowland. There's no good slow moving dark rides in this section.

How much room is there in that area to have a dark ride attraction?

On a serious note a rapids ride with a larger drop of 40+ feet would fit the pavillion well + add some thrill to epcot

The Gardens are pretty extensive. But I love the gardens and would really hate to see them disappear. They’re a haven of tranquility.

I meant over at the MK in Tomorrow Land regarding Stitch.

I actually have no idea my friend, but with Tomorrowland there is plenty of options. Stitch's M&G area, Monsters, Tomorrowland Terrace and even the speedway are possible.

Oh, OK then. Carry on!

There are two options IIRC. One expansion pad is over by Splash, squeezed in to an awkward shaped bit of land. The other is larger and more behind POTC.

What we need is either:

@MisterPenguin to find the appropriate map showing the two expansion pads (because he always seems to know exactly where to look),

Or

@marni1971 to once again post the afore-mentioned map for you to see.

I like that one. It could be like "Grizzly River Run" in DCA, but instead of a grizzly Justin Bieber's face could be etched into the mountain. "Bieber River Run" would be very popular with the teen girls... and some teen boys.

Idk how many times I have to say this but I think WDW needs a few more flume rides. Maybe a water coaster. Honestly I'd love to see one in Epcot WS, DAK Africa, or in a new DHS Indy land.

There were two actual expansion pads; between the Skyway and the CoP, and in the parking lot behind TLF (the proposed location of a Tron coaster many years ago)

Ah, he said Tomorrowland. I read it as Adventureland!

What are possible D23 announcements??
Any thoughts @marni1971 @Magic Feather @RSoxNo1 ??
Could we be surprised?? Any cryptic messages you want to give us??

 

[MickeyMouse10]

You can tell us what's being rumored Marni. We promise and pinky swear we won't tell.

According to @marni1971, green are the easy pads and yellow and orange require more work to use. The yellow pad south of Space Mountains seems to be off the table since they expanded the retention pond added retention walls.

Red and purple are armchair speculation. Red is a little bit easier and purple much harder, since it would require big changes in water management and maybe demolishing It's a Small World (we can only hope!). Access to orange, red, and purple is very difficult since the placement of HM, RoA, BTMR, and the train leave almost no access to that back area. One of them has to drastically be moved/altered.

I wonder if they'll ever make a pathway for Tomorrowland in the front. I'm lazy, so the least amount of walking I have to do the better.

To add to that, will Disney continue to develop all 4 parks after these, will continue to dp big projects, and are there any coming up which could be announced?

Isnt this a D23 thread?

Red / orange are proposed long term areas suitable for expansion.

Stuff.

They can also shorten the Rivers of America like they did in disneyland right? I’m dying for a new land connecting BTM and HM.
