while the human body is interesting... it's up to the sponsor what said attraction is about.
Example: if HP told Disney they wanted to change mission space to be more about the computers that send people to space... and HP was paying Disney would have to do it, or else HP would find a way to leave.
while it wont be the wonders of life, it would be using that complex for something other than special events, seasonal events, and storage / training...

Doesn't have to be. I'd LOVE to see a 21st Century WoL, even if it's done by Microsoft.

Same here but I bet you the pavilion would have a brand new theme.

What more could they add to FW?:shrug: I'm not a big fan of the Weather idea, that could all be in the Land.

LOVE the last one...:lookaroun
Progress is already covered to an extent in SSE, and could be put into Innoventions, too.

Same here, even if it meant loosing CoP from MK.
Yea well its not as bad as the rumor of COP going to DCA and it would free up a lot of space for a new E-ticket that TL really needs.

It has the space if they were to rip out the Speedway...:lookaroun
And yes, MUCH better than it going to DCA.

there's so much wrong in this statement it's not ever funny. LETS START!
a.) Steve Jobs ("Macs CEO") is a majority share holder and on the board of directors of Disney. He DOES NOT run the company.
b.) It's not Macs. It's Apple Inc. The Macintosh takes up a portion of the direction of the company, but not all. Apple and Microsoft have a good relationship, with Apple paying for and using Microsoft Exchange Server support in OSX Server and iPhone OS, Office on the Mac, and many other things.
c.) Sponsors who are in the same field have sponsored various attractions before. This would not be new.

Remember the rumor that Microsoft was going to take over sponsorship of SSE. And that it was going to become sort of a Time Racers ride with a track that extended outside around the sphere. Just thought I'd reminisce about another former Microsoft rumor.

Nothing really, except they are coming out with a motion sensing camera attachment thing for the Xbox 360.
yep, Project Natal. From the everything i've seen from it, it will likely hurt the wii big time.

They're both different and focus on different groups. I highly doubt you'll see all the Wii Moms dump the Wii for the XBox 360, especially since there won't be any balance board fitness games on it...
They're different yes, but only b/c Microsoft took the idea of the wii and expanded on it to really immerse you into the game and make you part of it. They are both basically the same concept, microsoft is just taking it and making it better. While there likely won't be many "wii moms" dumping the wii for this, I can see some that may. From what i've seen, a lot of the games will be family interactive stuff/a lot of arcade like games. Also, there really isn't any reason they shouldn't be able to make a fitness-type game for this if they wanted too. The technology that will be used is basically a full body motion sensor. I don't see wy it wouldn't be possible to make a fitness game for it if they wanted to.
