No reason why not. The whole Animation complex will go sooner or later.

Is there plans for Animation to come back in some form (perhaps more similar to the set up in DCA)? I feel like that was the rumor when it shut down to become Launch Bay.

That said, regardless of the plans, I'd like to see that whole building torn down and the area expanded (ideally with a connection to RNR). I'd love to see a proper animation area that not only brings back the animation classes but also has rides based on animated IP that don't fit well elsewhere.
 
Thanks phoenicians

For the Epcot new country I wouldn't mind seeing some South American representation since every other continent minus Australia has a country. As for animation if it's not used for Mickey which I'm assuming not since it'll most likely go in GMR I'd like to see it get used for something else or get a complete demo and rebuild once everything is up and running.

Well, some of the more well-known, relatively speaking, include the Golden Age versions of Thor and Daredevil, the Black Terror, the Green Lama, and others. Here's a good resource if you'd like to learn more.

That's pretty cool, thanks. That said, they could easily build a proper superhero land with just GotG, Big Hero 6 and The Incredibles to start without even considering more obscure properties.

It's worth noting that all three of those IPs have new stuff slated to come out in upcoming years. So, you even have the special synergy thing going for it.

I'd like to see Jamaica included in the WS and have a dark ride called the Bob Marley Experience.

Is there any chance that with them pushinf Toy Story Land years into the future, that they might rethink the whole concept of putting a Toy Story Land in at all and maybe come up with a better idea...like they did with new Fantasyland when the response was kind of "meh"....?

I agree that it would be nice if they could come up with a new concept, but I just don't think that's going to happen here. As it is right now though, I really hope they don't push TSL back even more considering how desperately this park needs new rides. I think I've gotten to the point where I'd rather we just end up with an underwhelming Toy Story Land than to have DHS sit and rot in its current state for an even longer period of time with no new additions.

I'm the opposite. We likely won't ever see this land get significantly updated or replaced; we'll have it for a while. At the end of the day, I'd rather it take a bit longer if it means we get a better land for the many years later on down the road that we enjoy the park.

I know @marni1971 mentioned some discussions are on-going as to a better fit, but I am still hearing GOTG is gong to EPCOT and Mickey to GMR or GMR area. . . That being said, I also just heard a new country for EPCOT may be getting closer to reality but that is not the first time I was told that piece of news. Maybe Russia will sign on if Trump moves into 1600 Pennsylvania?

Yes, make peace not war.

It's just a bad situation all around. They shouldn't have left this park to rot and let it get to the point where nearly any addition would be an improvement. I completely see where you're coming from and I normally would agree that quality is the most important thing, but it just kind of pains me to think about how this park is going to be for the next few years with absolutely nothing new. The fact that we're about to lose GMR only makes it worse. If only we could have TSL be quality and have it open sooner.
