I beg to differ. There's room for two big things without sacrificing the Speedway.

Except the top one of those red blobs is now Storybook Circus (and was Toontown Fair before that).

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the parking lot.

Okay, I read it as you were talking about the two expansion areas on the park map style image.

The red part inside the track is taken and I specifically said there wasn't room inside the track. Would they actually use that other area outside the track. I always thought they wanted to keep visibility of the Contemporary from inside of Tomorrowland because it fit the theme.

The parking lot was used during the 4th for "fireworks viewing area". I was semi appalled by it. The overflow corridor behind main street is slowly being cleaned up and made acceptable for show.(Despite it already being in use....) That parking lot however was nowhere near ready for visibility to guests and the backstage areas in view were jarring. I know its the remnants of the old theatre so it CAN be used for guest space. Hopefully someday...

It has absolutely no "wow!" Something Disney used to unveil annually.

Really?!? No offense intended to you or the original poster but that is mere opinion. What you may dismiss, I think is fantastic. I looove 7DMine Train and the Ariel ride. Love the atmosphere of Be Our Guest and my 1 1/2 year old played in the new enhanced dumbo queue for like two hours and she was in pure heaven. My original point- we need to be careful to not dismiss what Disney IS doing simply because it may not suit our fancy. It's similar to me saying that Disney Springs DOES NOT COUNT because it's a big shopping mall. Disney is doing a lot these days and its tiring to see so much dismissed all the time while people wait for "real change or real improvements." Open your eyes- you're missing it =)

I couldn't agree more. I think the entirety of NFL is well executed. Would I have preferred another show scene in 7DMT? Absolutely. Do I enjoy it as it is? Absolutely. But I'm sure I'm only saying this because I'm fresh off a snorting binge of Pixie Dust...

The top big red box is the new Fantasyland. The bottom red box has to be build on the back end of the tracks and next to a water way. I think after seeing pictures of Disney Land China, I could see them putting TRON where the Raceway is now.

There isn't room inside the tracks, New attractions?? Something has to be sacrificed. I am betting on Tomorrowland Speedway.

Why would something have to be within the berm? Disney has not had problems building stuff outside the berm before, including actual lands (see the new additions at HKDL for example).

The only wow worthy was the SDMT animatronics imho.
and maybe BE OUR GUEST.

And you are free to have your opinion. The general view has been less-than-spectacular, as Disney's surveys and Excel graphs on PowerPoint slides have shown. Why do you think we will now get a fantastic D-ticket boat ride in AVATAR land when it was once on the chopping block?

Put me in the "down with the speedway" camp. It's quite antiquated, and you can fit two new attractions in it's large footprint. Besides, you can do that at basically any other amusement park.

Not to mention they could always go up on the COP building.

 

[Bocabear]

Using the largest show building (Small World ) and dropping it onto the map, you can see there is plenty of room for a few new attractions of a grand scale...if they chose to do it. You could fit another 4 "Small World" show buildings into the space the Speedway takes up. Several "Peter Pan" sized rides could fit...As well as another large show building between Pirates and Splash...might play hell with the parade route though....Point is, there is plenty of space withing the boundaries without stretching further outside the park... Also Tomorrowland has the most open space of any of the lands...and in my opinion could use the most help.

Lose the circus tent shops and there is room for another large attraction the size of Small World...(Where Frozen should really be)...

LOSE THE CIRCUS TENT SHOPS?!?!

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

Why would Frozen be in a Circus themed area?

I mean, we see people say this and I'm no fan of the tents (or more specifically, the lack of a ride on that side of Storybook Circus) but Frozen doesn't make any sense unless they re-theme the entire circus area. A much better argument is to replace the tents with an actual ride that fits the theme (e.g. Pinocchio or Mickey's Madhouse or something).

 

[cosmicray]

The Speedway is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I would hate to see it go, but I'm willing to lose it if it means a better attraction would be going in its place.

 

[Brer Panther]

If they're gonna replace the Speedway, how about a more advanced version of Disneyland's Alice in Wonderland ride? It's close to the Mad Tea Party, after all.

He is talking about dropping all of storybook circus.
