You've piqued my interest -- Is the ride system surprising because it is groundbreaking in some way? Or rather, is it surprising because it it's not a good fit for the park?

I can talk about it more if it doesn't happen. Or when it opens!

I don't think you understand. They want the value to be as LOW as possible. This is because of property taxes and how they are a percent.

Then they're having a laugh.
THIS. Cuz a sliver of hope for "something else" is all I ask for.

Man... not that it was a particular FAVORITE, but the nostalgia and the ride mechanics of that ride always drew me to it.
If all this happens, the eastern half of Future World will now be completely removed from the original intent when EPCOT opened.
Tell me about it.

Yep, that's what it's called. I've watched a couple videeos, but I think the dude just takes rumours from here and photos from Blog Mickey site and @bioreconstruct on Twitter, and summaries them.

You know what's funny?
I watch him as well. It is a bit of fun to think of the possibilities he mentions. But he does source Jim Hill a lot as well.

Yea the first time I watched DSNY i thought I was just reading one of these forums
We've been talking about that vlogger in several other threads. It would be great if he got his rumors from here, because a lot of them get dubunked here. But he basically uses Jim Hill, the site we don't talk about, and Micechat. Among those three are a lot of really bad rumor mongering. They keep alive rumors which are no longer in play and rarely emphasize that much of their rumors are in the blue-sky phase. There are many many blue sky ideas that get floated around Disney Corp and only a small fraction come to fruition.
And in anticipation of D23 (Disney Fan Convention) coming up shortly, the rumors are spitting out hot and heavy. And the vlogosphere and the twitterverse are breathlessly passing around their unfounded rumors.
We have a bunch of insiders on this forum who check each other and also come back to let us know when a rumor has changed or died. It's all summarized here:

Yeah, I understand, so "grain of salt" etc. just thought I'd post as I hadn't heard anything recently about Vekoma possibly being involved with a project.

Not completely. I'd say that TT2.0 has a lot more WoM in it then did TT1.0. (That is by no means saying that it is remotely close to the optimistic feeling that WoM gave you, yet, but it could be). First, the building is mostly the same. Second, the idea of the future is certainly visible throughout the ride. Third, I believe that the current concept actually has it's roots in a proposed versions of the ride before Epcot Center even opened. It does feel very Future World. If they included more AAs in the first part of the track and actually built more of a story around automotive design from the past and moved into design and testing vehicles in the future, we would see the best of both worlds. Slow moving dark Disney AA ride and fast moving thrill ride. The ride would come full circle! (Yes, I meant to say that.). Then I would get that Future City view back that they had at the end of WoM. One of my most favorite and memorable parts of my trip from 1983.

.. and states them as fact.
Almost certainly, just waiting on the announcement.
The closing of the ride has been hinted to start no later than October. For all we know, it could close tomorrow.

The park has 'dark rides' and simulators...so I'm guessing outdoor bare steel coaster. or Wood Coaster? Any coaster that is outside with minimal theming. (@DisneyExpert - now that would make me mad, TSL - meh.)
