My vote goes to Alice in Wonderland, similar to the one in DL.
I do agree that the speedway has to go/change, and since it's located between TL and FL, then whatever attraction/s that go in it's place could be either FL or TL. It would be great if they replaced the Speedway with 2 dark rides, one for FL and one for TL

What I would like to see (and I know there aren't many other people out there who would vote for this) is a dark ride based on Wall-E. I think Wall-E is one of the most underrated Disney films in the last two decades, and the theming of a Wall-E dark ride would fit in perfectly with Tomorrowland-the ride could be based on the portion of the film in the Axiom, and the ride vehicles could be themed to look like the floating chairs the Axiom passengers ride in, with the finale of the ride taking place in the Lido Deck area. I know this will never happen, but I can dream.

I've always wanted a Hercules themed dark ride in Fantasyland. But not omnimover, or regular dark ride style. More like the dark ride style similar to Uni's Spider Man, Transformers or Harry Potter dark rides. It'd be a pretty awesome ride! You're flying on pegasus and go through all of the intense obstacles that Hercules had to go through such as fighting off those greek monsters, the titans, diving into the sea of souls and everything... It ends with Hades being thrown into the river. It'd be pretty cool.

A Disney villains' ride would be great. It shouldn't be Alien Encounter scary though.

I feel like Hollywood Studios would be perfect for this. Maybe a villain themed area overall, making the villains tonight! thing a regular show! :) Or something similar, maybe a little more than just introducing the villains. Perhaps different villain scenes from different movies, but the show randomizes which scenes are shown in each performance. One show might have scenes from Pocahontas, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty while another show has scenes from Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, and Little Mermaid.

Sorry... I have an imagineering mood right now.

I'm not sure about the Speedway's footprint - how much room there is - but I'd like a Villains dark ride if it could be done on a grand scale. Otherwise, Mary Poppins.

MK needs some more "dark" rides - meaning, for lack of a better word, scary. Not outright terrifying, mind you. But ones with darker atmospheres. FL currently has WTP (vaguely creepy), PPF (disturbing in its deterioration, not to mention 3 hr long lines), IASW (scary if you were stuck on it), MERMAID (hardly dark), 7DMT (focuses on the whimsical, friendly part of the movie) and the old carnivalesque classics (dumbo, teacups, etc.), not to mention Meet and Greet madness. Toad, SWA and 20,000LUTS all provided a sinister counterpoint to the sunnier attractions. MK needs to inject the sinister back into FL. Pinocchio, AIW, these are good movies for that kind of darker vibe, but part of me fears they would merely copy and paste the rides from DL.

For some reason I always felt a dark ride based on The Aristocats would either fit in the France Pavilion in Epcot,Disneyland Paris, or Tokyo Disneyland which is sorta a sequel to the film. Which has you ride vesicles based on Edgar's motorcycle and has you follow the cats. I don't have a plot for it yet. However I still think a educational show themed after The Aristocats would fit better in the France Pavilion since Epcot has a few attractions and shows which teaches guests about various stuff. However this idea might get some backlash in light of the upcoming Frozen ride in the Norway Pavilion.

In truth, my answer would be "nothing" because I don't think Tomorrowland should have its land be encroached upon. If I had to pick something, I'd go with a dark ride based upon the car chase scene from The Fox and the Hound.

The ride can be in a similar vein to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with many sharp turns. It can differ in that the cars can travel in packs of 2 with the lead acting as Widow Tweed's truck and the back acting as Amos's car.

This will obviously never happen, but hey, this is a Disney fan forum where I can dream about any ride I please.

A ride about the Fox and the Hound?!? Why didn't I think of that? Loove this idea.

I think whatever they would build should have some thrill and re-rideability (is that a word?).

In regards to the "creepy" aspect someone brought up, let's go down the list above to see which would be the creepiest...
- Alice has a rather dark fall into the rabbit hole ("Goodbye, Dinah! Goodbyeeeeee..."), the Disneyland version has a pop-up appearance by a literal Dandelion, and some people find the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts creepy. Perhaps it could be a combination dark ride/wild mouse coaster (that seems fitting for Alice in Wonderland, I think). I've heard complaints that Fantasyland doesn't have enough thrill rides.
- Pinocchio should speak for itself. ("YOU WILL MAKE ME LOTS OF MONEY!")
- Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks don't really have anything scary in them.
- I doubt Disney's current management would approve of a ride that ends with riders being hit by a train and sent to Hades. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to get rid of California's Toad at some point (though they'd have to get through A LOT of angry fans to get to it).

It's all good. I agree. I actually like the villians Disney makes. It actually make the hero/herione better. I think it should lead into a hero thing as well. 'DHS' woul dbe a good place to have it. For some reason though, it would seem better in MK, but that's just me.

I dig your imagineering, 'Life.

I would love a Sleeping Beauty ride or a ride featuring Mickey and the gang.

I was going to suggest a dedicated Mickey Mouse ride. maybe have the rest of the gang in there too.
Was thinking of a Fantasia ride, but that might be too tricky to pull off.
