Where oh where to begin...well, I suppose I'll start with the parks, but there are lots of improvements to make in the general RCID, I believe. So for a quick run-down, I'll give you a bullet list. If no explanation follows, I either cannot give you one, or I don't wish to write an essay. :lol:
MK
- Redo the turnstile plaza (the "newspaper" shop will actually sell a newspaper, but that's in the Part 2 post)
- Add more green to the Town Square
- Bring back a little more green to the Hub, reducing the current concrete sightline to the equally gray castle walls
- Consider a new paving texture/style for Main Street
- Tomorrowland, get rid of the reliance on Disney characters, bring back the future focus with some classic features
- Goodbye Stitch!
- As much as I love Buzz, I think they can do a better attraction while keeping the interaction along with a focus on the future. If the Imagineers can find a way to keep Buzz, that's even better. Oh, and no FastPass on an Omnimover!
- Monsters is cool, but it belongs in Studios, replace it with something future-focused, again. Again, Imagineering, let's see what you can do!
- Peoplemover gets its WEDWay name back, transportation of the future is the key!
- Get the theme consistent! The back half of Tomorrowland is still plaster and stucco, while the front half is metal and plastic. Tighten it up, make it cohesive.
- The spires are back!...Only not in their previous form. They would bring back the kinetic energy to the gateway.
- Update CoP
- Update Country Bears, full mechanical refurb/rebuild!
- Refurbish TSI, and the riverboat.
- Return a regular show to the Horshoe
- Update AAs throughout PoTC, not so much Cap'n Jack Sparrow.
- Update lighting to LED and CFL gradually, where possible.
EPCOT
- It is officially EPCOT Center again
- The return of the glass centerpiece for the entry fountain
- Finish SSE
- Return elements of Communicore Plaza, if crowd flow allows, bring it back in its entirety.
- Innoventions gets a complete refurb, retains name, but returns to a bit of the original Communicore layout and similar exhibits/attractions.
- Imagination! We all know what needs to happen here.
- The Seas keeps the Nemo theme, but gets refurbed to some of the Living Seas glory (Hydrolators return!).
- Soarin gets updated with a new film, and so long FastPass!
- Circle of Life gets an update while Imagineering works on a replacement for that space. Whatever it is, it will be edutainment.
- Given the availability of appropriate space to house festival centers elsewhere, the Imagineers get another crack at Wonders of Life.
- World Showcase Plaza gets some life added to it.
- Mission:Space gets expanded into a full space pavilion to the rear and sides.
- Universe of Energy gets a much needed update.
- If the super capacity of the current attraction is not an absolute necessity and the cost/visitor large enough, the building gets reworked into an energy pavilion.
- New ride (likely an Omnimover or EGV) that takes up much less space in the pavilion.
- Interactive exhibits
- Test Track gets a rework for better focus on the story aspect as it relates to Future World
- The exit is reworked to remove the blatant dealer show room "buy me" atmosphere.
- Odyssey gets reopened as a quick service lunch and table service dinner location.
- Russia gets added to the Showcase, and maybe one other country (current Outpost area).
- Update Impressions de France.
- Consider expanding current pavilions. I am, however, not of the opinion that much needs to be done outside of some minor refurbing.
- Update Illuminations, possibly with some WoC tech.
DHS
- Relocate the freaking hat, return the Chinese Theater to its rightful role as park icon!
- Update GMR, keep the final sequence of the final montage, though (I love Star Wars
).
- American Idol Experience will only last as long as the TV show. Start preparing a more "permanent" show.
- Goodbye Backlot Tour!
- Pixar Place expansion
- Monsters Inc. coaster
- Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor relocates to the coaster area
- No more FastPass on TSM
- Some sort of Cars attraction(s)
- Consider some Lucas attractions with an expansion of that area (made possible by a following change). Stunt show stays.
- Sounds Dangerous gets replaced by a better show.
- Completely redo the way vehicles access the parking lot
- Ideally the new entrance and toll plaza would be from Victory way. The entrance road would be at the top just beyond the tram lane.
- The Buena Vista Drive entrance would be only for CMs and busses, but would remain the main exit. Depending upon traffic studies, a secondary exit may be an option.
- Expand on the concept of Osborne Lights by making a Christmas "party" for all guests. This is something I could write a large essay on, and I've already taken more than an hour to get this far. If you want to know more, you'll have to wait.
Okay...wow, I am really going overboard, aren't I? :lol: Consider this Part 1. Part 2 will come later (maybe tonight, likely tomorrow). Obviously the areas to be covered there are DAK, DTD, General Resort issues, and RCID.
