Cue up Tron rumors again... if the motorbikes are apparently off the table of the Avatar expansion in DAK, maybe they can be back on the table for MK. Would be a wonderful addition before MK's 50th.
I just got back from an advance screening of wreck-it Ralph and I must tell you that it was AMAZING!! While I cannot be specific because well, Disney doesn't really want stuff leaking (They even confiscated our phone ), it's a film with a ton of great characters, cameos, and settings that has a heart that few animated films have nowadays. If the reaction from the audience was any indication ( which was a mix of families, adults, and college kids), this film will do VERY, VERY well; heck I'm probably going to see next weekend back to back with Flight.i hope i'm not alone in this, but i'm hoping wreck-it-ralph is a smashing success and it'll create enough reason to put in a new attraction, hopefully doing something we haven't seen before, and i could see it fitting at DHS.

I'm not really sure how well the worlds of the film will translate into a theme park attraction because this film deserves more than just a concrete box. The land of Sugar Rush is definitely a place that would love to be transported to.
If I continue, I might spoil too much. Paperman was really great too. I paid to go to this screen as did the entire audience, including the press.
I'm also curious if there was ever any word that an attraction based on 'the incredibles' was ever to be made? that seems too perfect for a hardly talked about, but action packed and great film. merch-wise i think it could do well (I picture a family all rocking the red and black '!' tees, a la thing 1, thing 2 etc at IoA). Wonder if anyone can clarify this for me.
I was thinking something along the lines of putting Sugar Rush in a Fantasyland. Most of the film takes place in this world and it's absolutely amazing.I would love to see Wreck it Ralph somewhere in the parks... maybe a new pavilion at Epcot about the history of video games?
on a sidenote:
a ride from DCA that is deceptive is Mickey's Fun Wheel. This ride as far as i know has no height restrictions and it terrifies me.
Height restrictions aren't necessarily to keep guests from being scared, it is due to safety issues of having smaller people on certain rides. Notice I didn't say kids. I believe that genetically/developmentally unusually short individuals are unable to ride many Disney rides no matter what their age is.
As scary as the Fun Wheel is (I also have a fear of heights), it would be very hard to get hurt, (though I've only ridden the non-swinging version, the swinging version looks very smooth, no sudden accelerations of sufficient force to injure somebody.)

Stitch's Great Escape has a height restriction, which appears to be solely for the purpose of preventing young kids from being scared. Though perhaps there might be an issue with the restraint with someone shorter (you don't actually move on the ride).
I'm really not 100% sure. I really don't want a dark ride that's just a retread of the film's plot. However, a ride where you race through the world of Sugar Rush would probably be best. However, I really wouldn't want it to be a replacement for the speedways because the world has so much detail to absorb and a passive experience would probably be best. So I'm also not really hot on a TSMM like ride either for the same reason. For those who don't know, Sugar Rush is a racing game.I haven't seen Wreck-It-Ralph yet, but I've seen some of the Sugar Rush scenes, plus the conceptual art. And I agree with you - a Sugar Rush attraction would be amazing for Fantasyland. But what kind of attraction? Were you thinking along the lines of TSMM? I'd like a dark ride myself...
Maybe if Wreck-It-Ralph is a hit franchise we can see a land at DHS with Sugar Rush Racing, Hero's Duty Shooter Ride, and Fix It Felix Dark-Ride?I'm really not 100% sure.

May I also add that this would be a fantastic use of the FL theater plot in DL.

I also wish they would re-start the handprint/footprint ceremonies again....another cool idea would be stars like the Hollywood walk of Fame....starting near the hat (which, in this world, is gone) and maybe goes down past ABC commissary, Idol theatre, etc. All the Disney Legends would be included, and others could get added as time went on...
Of course, none of this drives revenue.
it's still a cool idea! i can see it now, Hollywood Stars all over the park with names of not just Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella and Aladdin, but also names of voice and live actors who played these characters. imagine seeing Robin Williams and Demi Moore on a Disney Hollywood Star! it'd be so cool!
Maybe all three in the same ride? I get the idea, from seeing Wreck-It-Ralph's trailers, that Ralph himself dashes from one video game to the other. Maybe that would be a good story structure for a simulator ride that would allow guests to experience Ralph's adventure.
