But where could it fit in? If they don't take out the Backlot then it can't really go anywhere in my mind.

They could take out the backlot, I don't see what it really gives to the park anyway, I'm not saying this film will be a success but I think it's got a better chance than most because of its ties to the original.

I love the idea of a Wipeout Show, but for space purposes it probably couldn't go at American Idol

I don't think this would ever happen. I think the draw of this would be to actually participate in the obstacle course, but given the possibility for injury they would either have to have stunt person to "act" the show out for guest to watch or have participant sign waivers so they won't sue when they get injured.

MXC was awesome!!!!
Those dubs were awesome of that crazy Japanese show. My brothers and I would always watch it every time it was on. I've seen Wipeout a few times but it just doesn't even come close to the fun factor (or pain factor) of MXC. Of course, none of my friends that are girls ever watched that show...I grew up in a house where the boys outnumbered the girls, haha

Well, that's what I mean -- MXC was clever, Wipeout is the tacky dumbed-down version.MXC was awesome!!!!

Here's a whole list on stuff I want to see done to DHS. I know its not likely Disney would do a lot of it, but its simply stuff I wanna see done:
-First of all the name goes! The park will be renamed to “Disney Studios Florida” and will become a real working movie studio once again.
-The giant Mickey hat will be demolished and never seen again!!!!!
-The Great Movie ride: Ride is extended with new movie scenes (possibly backwards into the HISTK playground) while existing scenes are upgraded including the removal of Tarzan scene. New movies possibly include Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Godfather, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and possibly more. End montage is updated as well.
Echo Lake:
-Indy Stunt show is removed to make way for Indy attraction similar to the ones in DL and TDS. Ride will mostly be the same except with an Aztec theme and a few new encounters. Exterior will be a huge Aztec pyramid with minimal studio themeing.
-Right next to Indy an “Excavator” coaster similar to Raging Spirits (but with somewhat different track design to be less painful) is added.
-The current new version of Star Tours works fine. POSSIBILITY: Area in front of attraction redone to expand star wars theme. Possibility of converting Drew Cary show into Mos Eisley cantina.
-When American Idol eventually dies, the AI show theater could get an entirely new show possibly a comedy stunt show.
Muppets Courtyard:
-Muppets gets their own sort of mini-land.
-Muppets 3-D stays mostly the same except with some possible enhancements such as digital projection, smell effects during pie scene, and other various things here and there.
-Pizza Planet is relocated to Pixar Place and building rethemed to the Swedish Chef’s restaurant.
-Christmas street theme is relocated and current street is rethemed to Muppets.
-Muppet mobile labs added to the area.
-Muppet Movie Ride also added finally!
Streets of America: Area is expanded a little bit to have more street sets and even a town square sort of area.
-Some shops are added to the area.
-Area expands over into the currently un-occupied area to the south of the park where the station for the new back lot tour will be built.
-New Backlot Tour will be added which will tour a brand newly built real production studio area built in the unoccupied area south of the park. It’ll go through real soundstages and outdoor sets and façade laden streets. A special in depth small group tour can be offered at a special price. Tour has special encounters including updated new Catastrophe Canyon.
-LMAX will be re-shifted to fit the expansion of the land. The show will be greatly improved to be less boring, have more exciting stunts, better special effects, etc. More human stunts will be added to the vehicle ones. Herbie and Lightning McQueen are permanently removed from show.
Animation Courtyard: Little mermaid, animation tour queue, one man’s dream, and old Narnia exhibit are all torn down to make way for a bigger area.
-The animation building is brought back to be a regular animation production facility for Disney animated features. Yay! The building will get a lobby similar to DL’s version with several different experiences. These include a how to draw a character demonstration, art from the films exhibits, and the main animation tour complete with movie (similar to Back to Neverland), trip through the animation work areas, and interactive areas similar to the ones in DCA (Ursula’s Grotto, Beast’s Library, etc. ).
-Nightmare Before Christmas Dark Ride is added to the land, potentially in former Playhouse Disney theater.
-Magic Carpets of Aladdin is moved here
-Kiddy Coaster based off of Mickey’s Plane Crazy cartoon is added.
-Water play area based off of Steamboat Willy is added.
-POSSIBILITY: Dark ride based off of old Mickey cartoons or silly symphonies.
Pixar Place: Area is relocated to the western side of the TSMM building with entrance to the ride relocated as well. Old costuming building is torn down to make way for expansion. Area retains its identity with the same brick look.
-Toy Story Midway Mania: Keep mostly the same, but maybe perhaps the midway theme could be removed. Not sure. Add more real props and maybe a few animatronics throughout the ride. Perhaps recycled from the old buzz lightyear ride. Finale must be changed to a battle with Zerg.
-Luxo Jr. Animatronic is ADDED BACK INTO THE LAND!!!!!
-Monsters Inc could get its treatment with a relocation of the laugh floor from MK or perhaps the doors coaster. Either one would work.
-Pizza Planet direct from the Toy Story movies is added.
-Ratatouille restaurant direct from the movie is added.
-Buy n’ Large from Wall-E is made a store in the land.
-Finding Nemo could get its treatment here with either:
A: Crush’s Coaster like in DLP
B: Ride in Epcot relocated here
C: Musical show from AK moved here
I’m leaning towards C.
-Incredibles could possibly get their own attraction based on Kuka technology. TBD.
-A dark ride themed to the various other movies could be a possibility as well. All land expansion is strictly blue sky at this point in time. This also includes possibility of a Radiator Springs mini land.
Sunset Blvd: Area stays mostly the same.
-RnRC: Exterior could get a face life to express the surrounding architecture in the area.
-Beauty and the Beast theater will be enclosed to simulate watching a show at the Hollywood Bowl theater under a night sky. B&B show is replaced with something new. Current show is very outdated.
-Fantasmic: Theater could possibly be relocated for better traffic solutions and theater upgrades, but could be too costly and pointless. Just a thought for now. The actual show will be vastly upgraded and be similar to the show currently playing in TDS. Better effects, less use of stock footage, removal of Pocahontas sequence, better Dragon finale added, cheesier elements removed, possible music remixing, just an overall improved show.
Entertainment:
-Add a new parade that mixes floats with a motor cars parade thing that evokes a Hollywood premier. Floats are themed to Disney films with a Hollywood twist, as well as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Muppets.
-Bring back the fireworks with a new show called “Blockbusters in the Sky.”This show is set to famous movie music such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Last of the Mohicans, Wizard of Oz. Lord of the Rings, Chariots of Fire, Gone with the Wind, Close Encounters, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.
-Seasonal Things-
-Keep Star Wars weekends the same. Have the special Star Wars themed fireworks and parade be a permanent staple of the event.
-Give the fireworks seasonal overlays for Halloween and Christmas. These shows play famous themes from various classic horror and Christmas movies. These could be simple tags to the ends the regular fireworks show rather than totally new shows on their own.
-Keep Osborne Lights, add more decorations for Halloween.
-Add E-ride nights to the park.
-First of all the name goes! The park will be renamed to “Disney Studios Florida” and will become a real working movie studio once again.
-The giant Mickey hat will be demolished and never seen again!!!!!
-The Great Movie ride: Ride is extended with new movie scenes (possibly backwards into the HISTK playground) while existing scenes are upgraded including the removal of Tarzan scene.

Tron didn't live up to expectations, but it didn't quite fail...between all of the profit outlets (including making the launch of the new cartoon possible) the new Tron storyline will continue to make Disney money. Enough so to green light a sequel.
John Carter on the other hand...
That has become the definition of failure, it must really suck to be Taylor Kitsch right about now. After tanking in both JC and Battleship.

I like some of the ideas you listed in your complete post. However, I'd be surprised to see DHS become a real working studio again. Disney appears to be moving closer to building a multi-hundred-million-dollar production facility at the their Golden Oak Ranch about 30 minutes North of the Burbank headquarters.
