So obviously we all know about Expedition Everest opening in the spring, but is this going to be it for 2006? Obviously EE is a HUGE addition but will there be any rehabs of rides needing some TLC, or is the expansiveness of The Happiest Celebration on Earth going to make 2006 a year with not as much hype and new attractions?

I think next year will be somewhat of a slow year(atrraction wise) for WDW. One being that the HCOE will be slowly coming to an end, and two, we just got a large amount of new additions for HCOE. I think simple rehabs and probably planning phases for newer WDW attractions will eventualy follow. Just my 2 cents.

What about the newly refurbished (rethemed?) Ice Station Cool. I think that will be a much better attraction than Everest. :wave: :lol:

I hope you're kidding! :eek:

I can't wait to hear another new ride announcement. Wonder how long we'll have to wait.

I hope there will be new things coming in 2006 but most likely disney will not bring a new attraction anytime really soon with all the other new rides that have just came.

2007 Rumors

Getting a little ahead I guess, but when I was working at the Grand this past year I heard a little bit about EPCOT in 2007. It will be the 25 anniv. for it and the HCOE will be over so it will be time for a new celebration. What I heard was that Spaceship Earth was going to be completely changed on the inside (which fits in with some other posts), a new parade is going to be there, and that there will be a new daytime spectacular. So we'll see how it all unfolds!

I Guess

Well we can all be sure on one thing, there's no chance of nothing coming.

All the rumors flying around sure are creating a very big buzz. I.e.

Magic Kingdom Rumor's:

Space Mountain (Much Needed if you ask me, the ride is covered in duck tape), Pirates (Personally I hope this is just a tweak and tidy, while the idea of Scareabean is good, i like the current version more, not everything needs to be brought into the new millennium at WDW). Possible start of the new e-ticket behind Pooh. Updating of the Jungle Cruise (New effects added and new story). Changes to the Timekeeper and COP, and im sure there are a thousand more out there.

Epcot Rumors:

Spaceship Earth: Well we can all say something is defo gonna happen here, from pulling it down, refurbishing, making a hole for a new coaster. New videos for both Soarin' and Mission: Space, a long rehab for Test Track, The Living Seas rehab, personally think that the sea cabs will not be opened until the second phase of the rehab, Disney would surely had made an announcement and a big deal if it was coming-back in the next week or two, it would make more sense too, Everest and Sea Cabs ready for summer 2006, maybe wrong tho), the linking of the Land and the Sea by some sore of a rollercoaster. A water Rapid ride in Canada, new films all over world Showcase. Mount Fuji in Japan, Harry Potter in the UK, new version of Illuminations, new parade.

MGM Rumors:

Change to Fantasmic, new drop cycle to TOT, Indiana Jones Temple Adventure, a Power Rangers Stunt Show, Star Tours 2, a whole new Star Wars Ride, a Narnia Ride.

Animal Kingdom Rumors:

Beastly Kingdom, the expansion of Camp Minnie-Mickey, Panda Exhibit, New show instead of Tarzan, Changes to Rafiki, walkway from Rafiki with shops and Table restaurant (This one I hope is true more than any of the above).

Oh and the rumored 5th Gate!!

And I'm sure that I have missed a whole load more, however what I'm saying is, something new will come in 2006, there are too many rumors flying around for something not to happen. Thats how Disney makes money making people want to come back to see new attractions, and enjoy the old (Thats my point about the Sea Cabs, is doesn't make sense to open them with out some sort of hype, but i hope im wrong). :hammer:

It's unlikely that they could add any more to the World Showcase. The space is just not enough. To add a Mt. Fuji or rapids ride in Canada would be nearly impossible unless they took out some major stuff. Besides, Disney already has a rapids ride at AK.

There is plenty of room in World Showcase for anything they might decide to add.

How will they add the Mt. Fuji? The rapid ride seems unlikely becuase Disney doesn't like to repeat rides at other parks. Perhaps a boat ride(like Maelstrom) simulating the rivers of Canada.

Actually, I think you may be confusing ride systems with rides.
They duplicate ride systems in the parks often. i.e. Omnimover, boat rides, Dumbo types....

It's all in the themeing that makes the difference.

Oh no, not this one again :brick:. Let me guess, a new monorail platform will be built in the UK pavilion connecting it with the front of the park. :hurl:

So it is possible to have some sort of boat ride in Canada. Definetely not the Brother Bear rapids ride(like at DCA) though.

I think that would depend on if Canada is willing to fork over the money for a nice new multimillion dollar ride !!
