If I'm understanding right, that would go along with the Turtle Talk 2.0 rumors.wdwmagic said:

Well, the doors ARE teleporters. Otherwise I can't think of anything else justifying Monsters Inc in Tommorowland.
Okay, my turn. I can`t say where I got this, and take it as you will.
Timekeeper is out of the picture. Totally. It appears the Circlevision infrastructure is being kept in place, as are some if not all of the screens. Those that remain will be used, but I can`t say if it`s in a CV360 format or not. The theme will be Monsters Inc. using technology similar to Turtle Talk. Two charecters from the movie will interact with guests, but again I can`t say if this is the total attraction or part of it.

Come on guys. Look, I have no reason to make this up. I have no connection to this kind of info normally. I was chatting (via email) with my source in regards to another topic and he wanted to share some info. He knew I - and others - would be interested in it but didn't want to deal with negativity that often comes with these kinds of threads. I was excited to be able to share it with everyone but...jeez. It's WAY too early to say it's a bad idea or that it'll suck or that it's wrong or whatever, because it's not even built yet. Give the idea a chance.
Either way, for those curious, here's a little more info he shared with me:

PS: While not used daily, the Galaxy Theater (between Buzz and CoP) IS used throughout the year for band/chorus events, special shows and things like 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Either way, for those curious, here's a little more info he shared with me:
The Timekeeper demo is scheduled to end around July 10th. The show is going to be a major change including sit-down theater seats. The entire building will be seeing a complete overhaul including enterence and queue.
I for one am going to keep an open mind. Can't judge it until you see it yourself.

I can't see a stage show happening in the Timekeeper building unless the building is expanded greatly into the parking lot behind Timekeeper and Buzz. I used to work at Timekeeper and the area in the theatre and the waiting area before you move into the theatre are not large enough to support a stage show with capacity to seat 500 or more. Plus I can't see a large construction project happening to the building considering Buzz and TTA are also housed in the same building (not to mention Tinkerbell's landing platform).
Before I head out for the day...
ps: Timekeeper is permantly closed. It was located directly across from what is now Stich's Greatest Escape.
All circle vision is gone all screens being torn down; all lighting in building being tore down and some reused most liquidated. It is a show where you sit down and the will be a lot of special effects.

How do you REEAAALLYYY know they don't use the 80's logo on their paperwork? Have you access to all WDW paperwork?
My point is, all of this is speculation, no one knows exactly what WDW is going to do. I am pretty sure thats why this was posted in New and Rumors. But thanks to the OP for sharing! :wave:

Actually they do still use that logo on some internal stuff. In fact the signs in the AKL parking lot that say "Walt Disney World Company vehicle only" use the old logo. And they were installed in 2001.

Its photoshoped, The text doesnt look quite right and as said previously WDW doesnt use that logo anymore, I am an Architect and there is no way we'd use an old company logo in offical documents that we issue, so I doubt they use it on offical documents for a new attractions.

Miss M - Great work? Any idea on timeframe? The original post, which seems to point to this type of attraction, dated Dec 5, says 1 year 2 months. That puts it at February 2007. Is that accurate? Or sooner or later?

I wouldn't neccesarily read that much into the old logo. The "D" portion of the logo still is on the monorails (and on some manhole covers, too, if I recall correctly). MissM is a long-standing member of the boards who I do not feel would have any real reason to jerk us around on this. So if it is a fake, it would be a fake that was perpetrated upon her, which she passed on in good faith. We've heard Monsters Inc rumors before, so it's no surprise here. I'm willing to wait and see. (off to check a few patent numbers 
)
By the way -- notice that if the blueprints are drawn so you are holding them and looking at the front elevation of the building, then arrow on the mouse does, indeed, point due north...

I'm also going to keep an open mind. I look forward to seeing what they can come up. It sounds like it could be very interesting!
(Galaxy Theatre is used at different times, but not very often that I've seen. If they replaced it with a new attraction - or used that space, then they could easily utilize temporary stages for their events.)

Photoshopped? Hardly, why go to all that effort when its faster just to spit out a page or two and photograph it.
I don't really think its a fake, if it is, someone deserves all this attention because they spent a lot of time on it!
The idea of a theatre/attraction type show with effects sounds great. Maybe taking a queue from Its a Bugs life? Another Pixar show....
Well Charles is glad they removed the lights.... he did not like the lighting in the Time Keeper attraction either:
