If I was in charge....

[Cornballman]

If you we're given an open budget, and you had to fix three things in the 4 parks, what would you do. Now just saying redo dhs is not an option. im looking for specific things like actually make Pixar place a a multiple ride land by adding cars land or the monsters inc coaster. So without bashing everyone's ideas what would you do if you were in charge?

 

[IowaHawks7]

I would first add a new country into Epcot my first choice being either Russia or Israel. The second thing i would do is to expand the star wars influence in DHS. Add Mos Eisley but also add an XWing rollercoaster and a couple new dark rides. Lastly, i would add a new land into DAK with my first choice being Australia. Then Europe, imagine the great barrier reef, or the european wilderness with a castle and possibly the old dragon ride from BK.

 

[Mukta]

I would fix the Imagination pavilion, Spaceship Earth descent and replace Stitch in the MK.

 

[Uncle Orville]

1. Go back to the original test track
2. Add a rollercoaster to epcot (maybe world showcase)
3. Monsters inc ride/area in Pixar place (sisters suggestion)

 

[Maelstrom Troll]

I would revert PoTC back to it's original state, add the Mount Fuji coaster in Epcot Japan, and would declare CBJ and CoP off limits!

 

[LizC]

1. New country in Epcot (kind of want to write this one for all 3 )
2. Pixar Place in DHS
3. A new land to Animal Kingdom with a Lion King ride. (My kids LOVE that movie)

 

[HouCuseChickie]

1. Pixar Place ride area ... and while I know people are talking about Carsland stuff (which would be nice too), I've always wanted to see some kind of roller coaster style ride involving the door chase scene in Monsters Inc.


2. A new country in the World Showcase - complete with a ride or really nice stage production. Not really sure which country I want ... but I have a "short" list of about 10.

3. Imagination pavilion restored to its original glory - both the ride and Image Works.

 

[FettFan]

EDIT -- Oh, just three? I listed five.

1. Expand the Fantasyland Expansion with a REAL Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride.
Something that would take the KUKA arm concept from Harry Potter and amp it up to 11.
Escape the Cave of Wonders! Parade through the streets of Agrabah! Stick that sword into that snake!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I firmly believe that ALADDIN is the key to beating Harry Potter.

2. Close Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. Build an Indiana Jones Adventure indoor/outdoor watercoaster.

3. Build a proper Pixar Place expansion for DHS atop one of the empty parking lots. Move all of the Pixar themed attractions there (Laugh Floor, Space Ranger Spin, Midway Mania etc.). Re-build the backlot tour into an interactive moviemaking experience, including aspects of the old backlot tour (bluescreen), Superstar Television, and Monster Sound.

4. New New Tomorrowland:
- Timekeeper and 9-EYE return!
- Stitch Escape is re-written as a sequel to Alien Encounter, with X-S re-formed under a new CEO, T.C. Stultum (played by Eugene Levy) attempting to overcome the "Clench Incident of 1994", and re-launching the teleportation project. Despite their best attempts, things go wrong....and Stitch gets beamed into the theater instead. Spidlok: "Well, at least this one's not vicious." Stitch gives an evil laugh.
- Carousel of Progress Golden Anniversary. Gilded overlay for the outside (50 years 1964-2014), and completely refurbished on the inside. New carpet, new paint, new seats, all animatronics replaced with new "Great Moments" style ones that are so realistic they look like live actors. And finally get a new finale/Christmas scene, since Granny's "virtual reality" has gone the way of the dodo. And as a way to wave the corporate genitals at Universal Islands of Adventure, get Paul Bettany to voice the new "Very Intelligent System" oven.

5. Close down Expedition Everest indefinitely until either the Yeti is fixed or replaced. Also, get rid of the shadow projector of him ripping up tracks and have an animatronic arm reach out from behind the rocks to grab at the car.

 

[Bob]

1. MK - bulldoze the Speedway and put in a new e-Ticket worthy of being in "Tomorrowland"
2. DAK - build Beastly Kingdom
3. Epcot - bring back Horizons

 

[Marc Gil]

Lol I always daydream about this. (Don't judge it's really lengthy, but bare with me.)
My first project will be a refresh of Futureworld called Futureworld 2.0. Ellen's Energy Adventure and Imagination! will close first. Ellen's Energy Adventure will be transformed into the Universe of Energy attraction which will remove the moving theaters with trackless ride technology. The journey would require you to use your brain power to come up with ways to find new energy sources, whether it's fossil fuels, wind, or water energy, it'll be an entire different experience each time. Then there would be multiple exhibits about energy in the end. Journey into Imagination would be turned into a high tech omnimover similar to the original, but a more interactive experience using technology from Turtle Talk so that Figment and Dreamfinder can interact with guests. The pavilion will also retain its original color scheme. Captain EO will be removed for a new 3D show. ImageWorks will also be relocated upstairs and have more interactive experiences for both children and adults. Dreamfinder's school of drama will also include some elements from Superstar Television and be turned into a mini show. When phase I is complete, phase II begins with the closing and rebranding of Mission Space, Soarin', and Circle of Life. Mission Space will be transformed into a multi "training" facility that the astronauts at NASA have opened to invite you to experience other aspects of training than just flight training. You'll be collecting moon rock samples, programming robots, and learning how to combat weightlessness. Soarin' will get a entire new film and new improved effects. Circle of Life will now be themed to WALl-E and will still be about environmental conservation. Phase III will then close down The Seas with Nemo and Friends and redo the ride so that it is more themes to underwater exploration. Using the same idea as the Submarine Voyage at Disneyland, you will now be using special microphones to communicate with Nemo, Marlin, and Dory. Sea base Alpha will feature new exhibits as well. Turtle Talk with Crush will be replaced with a new show that incorporates more characters from Finding Nemo. Phase IV will mark the reopening of the Wonders of Life. Body Wars will shrink guests to the size of a blood cell to take a tour of the human body. The ride will incorporate both screens, real 3-D sets, and Audio Animatronics. The ride vehicle will be very diplomat to what's in Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Then the final project will be the Spaceship Earth Transformation. The communication theme will be gone and then we'll bring in the universal theme of Horizons- the progression of man and his technology. The descent will feature an ending similar to Horizons, but instead of screens it would be 3-D sets. And Future World 2.0 will be completed in a span of 5 years. During these 5 years of phase closing, Innoventions will also receive a refurbishment and so will the Odyssey. The odyssey will become Future World's premiere restaurant and it will serve Modern Contemporary sea food. It would also transform into a quick service restaurant for lunch and feature some Disney characters for a stage show. And that's Future World 2.0

[ajrwdwgirl]

1. Add at least 2 countries to Epcot and they would have to have rides and not films in them.
2. Add and Indy Ride to HS and a Monster's roller coaster to Pixar place in the Studios too
3. Add another ride to Adventureland, I don't know what but it needs a new attraction.
4. Add a North America section to Animal Kingdom. We have a lot of interesting animals here in North American that they could use a showcase too

 

[jharvey]

1. collect all underwear

3. Make profit

 

[Marc Gil]

My next imaginary project will take me into Disney's Hollywood Studios. These new experiences will also be opening in phases. First off the Backlot and Studio section will close. The new land will be called Toon Studios, and it will resemble more of the old Disney Studios in Burbank back in the 1940's. You'll be able to take a fictional Studio tour with your tour guide Mickey or Minnie Mouse into the world of fictional cartoon production. Along the way you'll meet many characters and experience a lot of your favorite scenes from your favorite Disney Movies. It will be a walking tour and a omnimover and it will take place in both the Little Mermaid Show building and Disney Jr. The tour will end in the animation building where you will have a new interactive experience with the characters and have the opportunity to animate your own cartoon. Next is the Pixar Place expansion where your favorite Pixar characters will come to life! You'll journey right into their studio as you visit the "live" set of Cars and Monsters Inc. it'll be all of Cars Land except Radiator Springs Racers. A new Monsters Inc dark ride will open, which will be similar to the attraction at Tokyo Disneyland. The Honey I Shrunk the Kids set will be transformed into "a Bugs Land" and will feature some attractions from DCA. The American Idol Experience will close down to be transformed into Disney's Broadway! New Broadway style productions will be preformed there like Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, Hercules, Aladdin, and more! It'll alternate every month or few weeks. Echo lake will be receiving a whole new look. You'll be leaving the studio section on the park and entering Star Wars Land. The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular will be transformed into the Rebel Alliance headquarters where they'll assign you different missions to defeat the galactic empire. It'll be designed that you are the star! You'll be able to fight Darth Vader, Travel in your own X-Wing, and Battle it out in Hoth. It'll combine virtual reality, live sets, and high tech simulators. It'll be a multi media experience. Sounds Dangerous will be turned into character central, where you can meet your favorite Star Wars characters. The Star Tours area will be themed to an Ewoke Village and feature a similar attraction like pteranodon flyers at IOA. The Muppets will take over their part of Hollywood Studios too. They'll have an updated show, a spinner, and a new restaurant featuring the Swedish Chef. Sunset Blvd will also recieve a makeover. The Beauty and the Beast show will be removed and turned into ToonTown. You'll enter through Maroon Cartoon studio into the world of the Toons. There will also be the Gag Factory a new dinner theatre show featuring your favorite toons: Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, and Jessica Rabbit in a rousing musical extravaganza. It'll also revive Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin, Chip N' Dale mini coaster, Mickey and Minnie's House, Donald's Boat, and Goofy's house. And finally, Fantasmic! will be updated with new effects and new scenes. The amphitheater will provide day time entertainment as well. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the Sorcerer Hat will be moved to Downtown Disney and the Water Tower and Grauman's Chinese will once again be the park's logos. And the new name for the park will be Disney's Studios Florida. And now is the time when I wake up from my day dream and go back to work.

 

[luv]

I'd return it all to its former glory and add a few cool rides.

Clean, pretty, fresh parks with nice staff; the little extra street entertainment stuff and some cool rides. That would do it!

Eta: I'd add Austrailia to the WS, too.

 

[jharvey]

1. Add an Indian Pavilion to the World Showcase.
2. Return Imagination to it's former glory.
3. If we are to assume a Star Wars land is in DHS future, I would put in a non-value engineered RSR in place of Tomorrowland Speedway.

 

[PUSH]

1- Pixar Place expansion
2- Star Wars Land
3- Beastly Kingdom

Runners-up: Future World revamp, Tomorrowland revamp

 

[MausCouture]

The first thing I would do, would be to add more characters that you can meet and, greet at the parks. I'm sorry but, There are only so many times I can get Mickey's autograph. It would be nice to have a better character variety.

The Second thing I would do, would be adding a "Villans" Park. A park Aimed more for the teenagers and, thrillseekers in the family

 

[Wags14]

DHS
1. Star Wars Land ('nuff said!)
2. Pixar Place expansion (move all the Pixar rides together, theme the area properly, add a Monsters ride)

MK
1. Change Tomorrowland Speedway to Cars theme, change the cars to resemble Cars characters
2. Eliminate Stitch's Escape, but in something decent
3. Expand SotMK to Tomorrowland and New Fantasyland

2. Add new rides to countries and redo their films
3. Change Innovations, revamp and re-brand

AK

[tare]

I would add more countries and have rides in EVERY country in world showcase. I would also have almost every disney character available to see and just have them roam around the parks.
