I never understood why the feel the need to keep SGE open. It is hated by nearly everyone who has been on the attraction and has the lowest ridership in the whole park.

Monsters is a good show, and would be a good attraction for DHS in an extended Pixar Place. The reason to relocate it is that it is a good attraction, but does not fit the theme of Tomorrowland at all.
I'm all for removing the Speedway, but I also know that re-theming it would be vastly cheaper. I tried to post ideas that are do-able and wouldn't have a prohibitive cost associated. Two new E-tickets would be wonderful, but probably in the distant future. There are also other areas that can be expanded before the Speedway would have to be cut.
I would remove CBJ except that it is an original attraction, a classic, and could be revamped to be a very fun show. Imagine a fat bear in overalls singing "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." Keep Big Al.

Just means a better opportunity for immersion.
I've been to Disney during very cold seasons... this winter it was in the 20s while I was there. Disney's not only open in the summer. Besides that, people love frappes, frappuccinos, iced lattes, mochas, etc. All of these are cold coffee drinks.
I think Cars is the obvious solution to a rather ugly, carnival-esque attraction. However, any other solution that makes it aesthetically and audibally appealing is good with me.
By the way, the "plots" you guys reference for the supposed Frontierland expansion are extremely, extremely difficult to get to. I think these pads appear to people who haven't been back there to be expansion areas when they would be extremely ackward to put in. Take the expansion area northwest of BTMRR... that's actually the repair dock for the Liberty Belle... that's going to be a major pain to move for an expansion since you're going to have to do a large amount of canal work.

My wife would drink coffee anytime, day or night, regardless of the weather. Coffee shops (and I use that term loosely) like Starbucks make just as many cold drinks as they do hot ones. I got addicted to the frozen mochas I found at Downtown Disney, but I'm not sure where else to find them.
I'd be fine with getting all hopped up
on a frozen mocha with an extra shot of espresso then 'zipping' through the parks all morning . . . and again at the end of the day when energy might be dwindling. I could see Disney making a killing on the Starbucks addiction the past few years have brought on.

Uh, wasn't that idea originally planned for Club 33?

Tiki Room. It was originally planned as a restaurant with interactive Tiki Birds, with hidden microphones so the birds' operators could hear the guests.

A coffee shop would make an absolute killing on Main St.! Whoever questioned why anyone would want coffee in Florida obviously isn't a coffee drinker. I'll take coffee day or night thank you very much. And if you truly drink coffee every day you kind of need it (coffee drinkers know what I'm talking about...that 1:00 headache).

Let's all sing now... "Main Street, Main Street. Meet Me Tonight on Main Street" and the low bass sings "right by the Starbucks"
The main reason I have an issue with a coffee shop on Main Street is because they simply didn't exist back in that time period. Now, if you were able to theme it accordingly, say, with a storefront that boasted "The Latest in European Culinary Decadence" for example, then maybe it would work, themewise. In reality, a coffee shop on Main Street would most likely be the highest profit storefront in the park! Maybe under the Train Station would be a great place for this... Remove the hard to market and find retail "counter" and replace it with a coffee barista. It's almost too perfect- while the fam is putting their belongings in the lockers, mom or dad can be getting themselves some coffee while they wait.

NOOOOOOOOOOO you can't knock down original story-telling for PIXAR!
Anyway I like the idea od demolishing the speedway. Make it a Tron ride on the lightcylces. Or they can bring the mattehorn :lookaroun

Oy drop it with the Matterhorn already. It's not even that good.

I'll have to agree with you there. I understand everything about it being a classic and all, but the whiplash and backache after riding it wasn't fun.

IF IT WAS A NEW COASTER AT MK it wouldn't be all loud it would be less noisy wand upgraded to today's standards. Just like they did with the dl paris space mountain, it isn't the same as the one in WDW. FAR FROM IT.

That's the thrill of it!
I don't understand, if it were any other attraction that Walt supervised personally everyone would want it, how is the mattehorn an exception beside that it's a roller coaster?
I'd agree with that 100%. I get it from the nostalgia point of view, but as a stand-alone coaster attraction, its not good.

If they cloned it for MK it wouldn't be the same. It's proven when mountains are cloned at MK (splash, thunder) they are better than their dl cousins.

IMO it depends on what track side you ride on. I enjoyed the right side track but I found the left (which most people claim is the best side) to be extremely rough and unpleasant.
But still, I think its best to keep the Matterhorn original to DL and not clone it. Besides, we alrady have friggin Everest.

Well, then drop the microphone idea and simply have Tiki birds sing overhead while you eat. Problem solved! :lol:
Seriously, I think the resteraunt idea would work better than just bringing back the old Tiki room. WDW simply doesn't have the nostalgia factor that DL has that brings in crowds. :shrug: Its either that or the TDL Stitch version.
