Any concept art out there yet for The Death Tree, The Death Hat, and The Death Castle?

Just EPCOT will get this much-needed makeover. The transformed attractions, I know of, are

- Death Station Earth (formerly Spaceship Earth)

- Mission Space will become Millennium Falcon's Great Death Star Tractor Beam Escape. In this re-imagined attraction, the space shuttle is replaced by the Millenium Falcon, which is parked at a hanger in Mos Eisley, Tatooine. The que will be rethemed to resemble the hanger, complete with an AA Chewbacca making a ruckus under under the Falcon's engine, tools in hand, racing to get the ship fixed on time for launch. The centrifuge of the old ride system will be reused in order to simulate the launch out of Mos Eisley Space Port and the incredible view of Tatooine at high altitude and in orbit. Once in space, the calm is short lived upon Captain Solo discovering that a tractor beam of a nearby Death Station is pulling the ship in!

- Dark Power (formerly Universe of Energy) is the energy source that gives Death Station Earth the power it needs to destroy planets whole! You think it's easy to destroy planets? Think again! Your host Grand Moff Tarkin will explain what it takes for the Empire to extract the incredible amount of energy required to destroy planets! Guests will be sucked through a simulated Black Hole in order to demonstrate the power of the Empire's #1 energy source - the Black Hole Turbine Electric Generator.

- Health Pavilion will remain closed and used as target practice

- No changes will be made to Test Track (due to GM legal threat over its sponsorship)

- Imagination will be gutted and a new dark ride called Dark will replace it. Dark will be a very long slow-moving dark ride in the dark. Imagineers working on the project say it will be the scariest ride Disney has ever designed. "Imagine dark," said Imagineer Tony Gravy, "Just dark. Nothing but darkness... No light... For hours... No noise... Except maybe the people in the vehicle next to you screaming obsenities saying things like they want to get off this thing... But they can't! Unlike any other ride we've built, guests who ride Dark will be strapped in!" Genius.

- Ground Zero (formerly The Land) will be desolate radioactive simulation of a planet almost destroyed by the Death Star's weaker Nuke Force. The Nuke Force is a feature recently added as a Death Star upgrade. Instead of vaporizing planets, the new feature allows the planet to survive, while destroying everything else! See, the Empereor does have compassion!

Undead Seas (formerly Living Seas) - Sponsored by BP, this redo will simulate a deep ocean oil rig leak...
