Don't be sad... It's okay to have different opinions.
I may have been incorrect with my assertion that it was not innovative; however it was not personal favorite and am not upset to see it go.

I recognise that it was innovative (as a concept and ride system) but still think it was boring. Also, the dinosaurs, which were the coolest part of the ride, were really anomalous. It always seemed to me that the energy theme was being used as a pretext to include them.

Huh? Your post didn't have an opinion in it, so I'm not sure what you mean.

You said an innovative attraction wasn't. That's literally all the post said. That's not an opinion so much as a falsehood, but okay.

Which is why Disneyland (1955) should not have opened with:
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (1949)
Mad Tea Party (1951)
Peter Pan (1953)
20,000 Leagues Under the sea Exhibit (1954)
Davy Crockett Museum (1955)
Sleeping Beauty Castle (1959)
King Arthur's Carousel (1963)

Disneyland wasn’t built to last generations like Disney parks are needed now. And that list is weak anyway... minus Peter Pan. The rest were either promos, or just cosmetic on top of a proven concept

The demo'd the floor slab to run the underground conduits for various electrical and plumbing requirements. If load/unload is in the UoE building, the coaster supports would also need their footings formed, poured and cured. There is plenty to do inside UoE before they being "rebuilding" the facade. (If in fact that is what you meant by "rebuilding", if not disregard).

Yeah but with that much extra space and headroom.... why even put the utilities under the slab in the first place? Use corridors or even raised floors on top of the existing slab?

It’s a ton of work to tear out and rebuild... makes me think something else isn’t serviceable about it... or people just aren’t as creative anymore.

Remember the original floor had two turntable pits, a service / escape basement tunnel and various stronger / weaker areas.
