Why change the most visited attraction at WDW? Every person can go on the ride, and it is a nice ride to take a break from the HOT Florida sun for 15 minutes. If they want to build a roller coaster at Epcot, try Universe of Energy, Wonders of Life, or build a roller coaster in one of the countries (i.e. Japan- Mount Fuji.)

No more coasters on Future World East -- leave family/seniors attractions (2 left). World Showcase thrill rides would work, because they would be forced to be tasteful.

I call BS on that castmember.
There is no way a rollercoaster could be built in Spaceship Earth unless it has a top speed of less than 5 mph.
The forces caused by the cars on the track would be too great for the building to hold. the only way it could be done is if they build the supports coming through the bottom of the sphere and into the ground. It was also ruin the looks of Spaceship Earth far more than compared to what that little wand has done.

In relations to the statement about the Figment reintroduction, I have spoken to the people at Kodak while investigating what they had to say and frankly, they told me two things:
1. They have very little control of what goes on at the pavilion
and
2. They really don't consult with Disney that much.
The spokespersons exact words were that "We consult with them only in matters of money and advertising, nothing else."
Anyways just incase you were wondering, the Dreamfinder Forever campaign site WILL be up and running by this weekend. I am scheduling an appointment with the Disney manager of the pavilion to get Q's and A's from him, possibly even a tour and/or look at the future of the pavilion when approaching him of the news of the investments being made in Epcot right now.

You know what sounds strange about this whole "rumors from the tour" thing?
I had the chance to experience the UnDISCOVERed Future World tour four weeks ago, and luckily for me, there was only one other person in the tour (so it was just the three of us). Our tour guide was a young woman (who was very cool and knew A LOT of what could be happening in EPCOT in the next 5-7 years). She said since it was just going to be the three of us, we could really ask whatever questions we wanted, since she said that she would have an answer for anything, and she knew that we were "Disney-holics."
The other guy in my group asked about Project Gemini and SSE being changed into a rollercoaster. First of all, she told us that she couldn't elaborate on those two subjects, but she was allowed to tell us that Project Gemini does not exist anymore, and the SSE rehab that was part of that Project would not happen. Maybe a refurb in the future, but as she put it. . . "How can you change SSE? It is the basis of our park and one of the most (if not THE most) visited attraction in all of Walt Disney World."
And no, it is not a thrill ride.
So, I really don't know how much WaffleKing's tour guide wanted to keep his job or not, but MY tour guide said that she had specific instructions on what not to tell to guests, and big changes/rumors to the park was definitely on that list. And YES, the UnDISCOVERed Tour was AWESOME, and I reccommend it to everyone.

I agree that it is time for development to head to that part of the park. The additions to Future World are great, but there is half a park back there that is being neglected and could use a new attraction of almost any sort.
Once they change SSE to a thrill ride EPCOT will be just another amusement park....

And they better not touch SSE! I made sure I rode it first last week and last today. It's my favorite ride on property, and I'd had to see it go.

Nice Update, but I too call BS on that cast member. I still highly doubt about SSE. I think Epcot has enough thrill rides already. Test Track M:S, and Soarin should just about satisfy thrill seekers coming to the park. They need more dark rides and family attractions.
