That is exactly why I think it should stay. As a kid, the Speedway was one of the attractions I looked forward to most. At the very least, for the sake of everyone's lungs, the cars do need the electric treatment.
Why does Buzz need to be like MIB? I enjoy MIB, but I also don't see any reason Buzz should have to be done in that manner to be enjoyable or acceptable simply because they both involve light gun elements. BTMRR, SM, E:E, and RnRC are all roller coasters and fill a niche. Not everyone wants to get thrown around while getting their light gun kicks.
What is wrong with Fantasyland style black light effects? Buzz is quite similar to any of the Fantasyland attractions as far as theming goes, which works just fine.
That just about describes every Fantasyland attraction, which really isn't a huge problem. I think ultimately the attraction is entertaining, and the theme is fine for TL. Could it be better? Sure. There seem to be much bigger issues in MK and throughout WDW than the state of Buzz. Any unused or underused locations definitely need TLC first (noodle station, old skyway buildings, 20K spot, etc.).
Fair enough. I actually agree. I also think Hulk at IoA is a superior coaster to pretty much anything at WDW, but that doesn't mean the WDW coasters need to go. That's pretty much my feeling about Buzz too.Just to interject my humble opinion...MiB is FAR superior to Buzz in every way. That is all.
Cheap and still popular, just like the Fantasyland attractions. I'll admit a good portion of my affection for Buzz stems from Toy Story being my favorite Pixar film and one of my favorite films of all time. Peter Pan is my favorite Fantasyland attraction for the same reasons.
You can`t compare 1971 attractions - Pan and White (just about) - to a 1998 Tomorrowland attraction. Pooh dosn`t count for so many reasons, but the original line up with Mr Toad was based on far older DL versions. In custom built spaces of course.
That's definitely something I hope does not continue. I don't find the issue with Buzz has to do with the concept, theme, or its place in TL, but rather with the execution and the physical restraints put on it. As a concept I find it fits quite well in the fantastical sci-fi utopian future that is generally portrayed in TL. I would most like to see a proper refurb of the attraction, over its outright replacement. I know it is sacrilege to enjoy the inclusion of characters, but I'd rather see Buzz Lightyear over a Delta commercial any day.
Something like that would be nice. I assume most demolition/expansion in that area is limited by the TTA track? Not that I necessarily mind. I think I'd have some kind of brain aneurism if that ever closed permanently.
