I just heard from someone (another guest who seemed to be in the know) that Galaxy Palace theater will be coming down to make way for a major new Tomorrowland E-Ticket. Any credibility? They seemed pretty sure.
 
For what it's worth, SM could really use a major refurb. before the concept of any new e-ticket attraction is even mused about. Rant over...well, until tomorrow. :)

I hope they get rid of it... its barely ever used... i never have once sat out there to watch any show or band play... its to hidden. But what is with the crazyness that people get with always wanting new e-ticket rides... I love it when people right after one opens there are contempt for one day and then they are asking for something new. Can't we just enjoy the classics...:shrug: people use to say to me... you have an annual pass and go more than 6 times a year whats the point its the same thing over and over again. But the thing is i don't always get to see the same thing over and over again... Like I said I've never been to the Galaxy Palace and I've been going as a kid like many other fans on here so it would be something new for me if they actually had a show going on. What I would prefer instead of spending millions of dollars on a new ride that might not go good with every...perhaps worry about someone said above our classic favorites like SM and spend millions to fix them up and bring the up to proper working order Like what they did with HM and Pirates. But don't get me wrong I do like it when they make new rides but even if it was a simple normal ride that I can enjoy instead of looking at a wasted space of a theater. Okay I'll stop ranting now lol.

Just another DVC kiosk going in, although it will be the grandest of all the kiosks to this point. They may even call it the "Flagship" of all DVC kiosks.

I was definitely joking around.

Though I would not be surprised to see some more selling stations for Disneys best kept secret pop up.

Nothing against the Incredibles.... but if they add an incredibles ride to TL, they might as well change the name of "Tomorrowland" to "Pixarland." 3 Pixar based attractions in one themed land seems just a little excessive IMO.

Have you seen the new car design for Space Mountain yet?

they are also turning Mickey's PhilHarmagic into Remy's PhilHarmagic.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone starts an actual "Pixarland" rumor sometime in the near future. Anyone else remember several months ago when there was a rumor that Adventureland would be turned into "Piratesland?"

That sure was a close one!! I think its funny when they says its the best kept secret... when there are millions of their booths or signs... Not much of a secret!!! Its just Ironic!

Everyone keeps on saying that about Pixar. We own pixar... get over it...plus There has not been one good disney film that have reached box office records as big as pixar has done. Yes, chicken little and Meet the robinsons did pretty good. But right now as for movies pixar is kicking butt. Yes I would Love to see for once an oringal ride like Everest, SM, and the former Alien encounter that has no tie ins with a Disney movie. I do like that they brought mickey back to the park with Philar. But as long as the storyline, the theming, and the actual ride turns out good then I don't mind it... But yes I prefer to see orginal rides because its like seeing a new disney story. And Like I said in another post... I see tomorrowland as a sci fi convention now... its not suppose to be showing you inventions of tomorrow like EPCOT. Its the tomorrow that will never be...

You're right! Next thing you know they'll be creating rides and attractions based on other Disney films.

They might as well call the place..."Disney World" or something...

I don't have a problem with Pixar in general... not in the slightest. I understand the success that Pixar movies have had. Pixar attractions are popping up everywhere in WDW and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The only problem I have with it is the fact that I feel like 3 Pixar attractions in Tomorrowland would be too much... considering the fact that there are only 5 or 6 total attractions in that land. It creates an imbalance, plus it completely takes away from the "tomorrow" theme of TL.

Let's say for example we had 1 Pixar attraction in Adventureland, 1 in Frontierland, 1 in Fantasyland, 1 in Toontown, and 2 in Tomorrowland. That would be 6 total Pixar attractions in MK, and that probably wouldn't be a bad thing at all because they would be well distributed throughout the park.

You hit the nail on the head at the end of your post when you said "But yes I prefer to see orginal rides because its like seeing a new disney story, I see tomorrowland as a sci fi convention now... its not suppose to be showing you inventions of tomorrow like EPCOT. Its the tomorrow that will never be." That's pretty much exactly how I feel about the situation.

Which then begs the question of what is driving current attraction selection... If you can create a new in-park marketable product, which the "future that never was" is chock full of, why is it better to shoehorn in an existing brand, even if it really doesn't fit? Shows who carries the purse strings, I guess.

Perhaps nowadays they are looking more at Dollar signs and less at overall creative vision? Obviously this is the case to an extent... but maybe that extent is growing larger as profits continue to grow.

I'm currently reading an interesting book about the History of WDW called "Realityland." (can't remember Author's name at this time). It's interesting to see how different Disney's business strategy was back in the 70's. The company contained 2 camps of executives (or 2 schools of thought). They had the business oriented execs and the creative people, with each camp seemingly having no overlapping knowledge or concern for the other side. During that time, the creative execs were the ones who had most of the power and seemed to boss around the business guys.

One of the major criticisms that the business people had about the creative execs was the fact that in the early years of WDW, they had very little concern about profits and cared 100% about the guest experience. Allegedly, WDW was losing money for a long time due to excessive overspending and little to no concern for sound economic business policies.

Apparently as WDW management evolved, the business oriented execs rose above the creative execs to take over the more powerful positions. The result has been a much more efficient and profitable operation, but there have been a few instances (luckily not too many) where the creative aspects of the theme parks have suffered in the interest of profits.
