Part of the issue we’re dealing with though is.. Disney may not want to put in the full budget to neccesarily update the AAs entirely for instance, nor would it be the most practical in their (most likely) view when they have most of the material to use already.. ya know.. So it may be more cost effective to just reuse the existing figures & molds and put new electronics/mechanics in them like they’re doing with the Country Bear Jamboree. Which really isn’t a problem. We all love those OG AAs, but yeah. We’ll see what they’ll do I guess. But ultimately I feel the best scenario is to bring back the original ride we all remember cause everyone loves it, and as the old saying goes.. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The ‘02-current’ ride w the unneccesary film IP tie in retheme (in this case, the Honey I Shrunk/Medfield College connected sci fi flicks) is the one that’s broken, ‘not’ the 83-98 original. The building has all the infrastructure to do it still, just needs some tlc in sections of it. But the company has all the original molds, audio, blueprints etc. in the Archives to recreate it with tech & spfx enhancements similar to how DL’s updated their classic Fantasyland rides. So again.. regardless on if they decide to go with new figure sculpts with more advanced movements or the original sculpts with the original movements but with updated electronics/mechanics inside, as long as they have the core foundation/ride show scenes properly brought back. It’ll be an instant/guranteed win. Both for newbies and the nostalgics at heart.
