I'm sure M:S will be around for a long time to come. I went on a trip recently [9 of us] only 1 out of the 9 was somewhat nauseated by the experience.
I'm sure 1 out of 9 guests get a little disoriented or nauseated by RnRC, ToT, or similar 'intense' rides. M:S is by no means the sickness epidemic that Jim Hill makes it out to be.
If anything will change in the next few years, I think we will get new videos -which would mean new ride sequences. [much the way ToT gets an update every few years.]

This is a financial stretch, but I think that the preshow should have been armageddon from DLP. The moment you walk through the door you should feel like you are on a space station orbiting the earth. When meteors hit, you all rush to, and board evacuation pods (MS), these pods would then land on mars, or the meteor. Once here you could explore or board the armadillo EMV attraction. Thus you make use of a great effects show. Due to its location that show is now massively repeatable because it serves as the gatekeeper to 2 Eticket rides.

CoP is now Innoventions from Epcot, Star Tours still draws a pretty good crowd, but all the buildings used for the Rocket Rods queue-basically the whole left side of Tomorrowland-could be used for it. I'm not sure if there is as much space as the pavilion in Epcot, but it would be much better than those buildings just sitting there empty...

I think this drama about how people are getting sick on MS is so over-hyped by the media. People puke ALL the time on roller coasters at Six Flags- can you imagine them saying "Oh lets get rid of the Superman coaster b/c it makes some people get sick." Yeah, right, that would never happen. -Stephanie
Well isn't Buzz Lightyear replacing the Rocket Rodd's que?

Hmm.. I haven't heard that, but perhaps that's true. Whatever it is, it needs something in those buildings.

First of all, Jim Hill has not been the most reliable source for info. I think you'll find that most people on this board despise the guy...
Second, if plans have been stopped from cloning SPACE at other parks, the ETC law suit situation has a lot to do with it. Disney was partially wrong in forbidding ETC from coming in and tweaking the attraction. Let's just say that SPACE had some significant problems once opening... They couldn't even stabilize the operating system, and they couldn't ask the ride designers what to do since they were having legal issues with ETC. If I remember right, there was some type of stipulation which kept a ride system of the same design from being recreated without consent of both parties. Check ETC's web site... They've now designed a system they call MAC which is the same concept as M:S, but with modifications that make it superior. With the current situation between Disney and ETC, it's hard to tell what any clones of M:S will be like. Personally, I disagree with clones. I wanted to go to Disneyland because of it's difference from WDW, but now with Soarin' coming here, that's one less reason to go out there. The same goes for Cali residents who want to come here for our unique, origional rides (ToT...).
I don't see M:S being replaced in eight years, but I do see it having many revisions, like Tower. The system allows for future modifications, although I wouldn't expet anything as drastic as the AE-Stitch refurb.
Just FYI, AE was origionally planned for Disneyland; there were no plans (origionally) for AE to ever be in Florida. But, for some reason I cannot remember, Imagineering decided to place it on this coast, and Disneyland got Innoventions instead (I think).
Not as many people get sick on this ride as others let on. Yes, it is intense, and yes, people do get sick, but it's by far no where near the immense amount many make it out to be.
As far as additions to the post show... I don't see it happening anytime within the next 5 years or so, if ever. I personally like your idea, although to enact it M:S would most likely have to go down for a few months. I was so disappointed by the exit hallway of that ride. Not only is it long, but it's so plain. No theming, no nothing (well, we did get blue trim ) I was hoping that it was only a temporary thing, but at this point it's obvious it's here to stay, at least for a while. I guess those Imagineers overbudgeted. The queue is so origional and futuristic. The last impression of the ride should be just as impressive as the first, of that amazing facade to the futuristic queue.
Sorry for my long semi-thread drift...

About the re-ride issue on mission space, I honestly would much rather ride AE more than once a trip than M:S. M:S is the kind of ride I might ride every 2-3 trips. Just whatching the same video and ride motions doesn't seem appealing to me.
I rode M:S a couple weeks ago. I rode twice in a row one moring and felt alright, but for the rest of the day I felt "off," and queasy. And back in the room I freaked out when I noticed the veins in my temples were bulging out. It scared the heck out of me. I felt okay the next day. A week later at the end of the trip I decided to try it one more time figuring if I suffered any ill effects at least my trip was over. I felt fine. Oddly, I'd eaten that last time whereas the first time I hadn't. Maybe a full stomach helps!
Does anyone have any solid evidence that M:S is going into Tokyo? People keep posting yes or no but nobody posts any evidence to support their claims. It's funny that people criticize Jim Hill then make statements without any proof.

QUOTE OF THE YEAR!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Welcome to the boards! Keep up the wonderful posts (exactly like this one) :animwink:
Seriously though I honestly believe that M:S does have alot of re-rideablility. The only thing I hate is having to watch the two preshows over and over (Don't get me wrong those are two of the best WDW has come up with. It can just get old after about 10 rides in a row). Do I like M:S better than ToT, Splash or Spider Man? No. Do I think it is right up there with them though? Yes.
Remember M:S has yet to go through a full summer season. It feels like it's been around for about 4 or 5 years!

Alien Encounter in Ca.
According to "The Nickel Tour" the Mission to Mars building at DL was too small to hold AE but since WDW's building was bigger they simply moved the show's destination to Florida.
Mission to Mars at DL was turned into a pizza place and the old Carousel theater was turned into Innoventions.

Well, he does provide good info on past events and plans and ideas that never made it to the parks, but his rumors are almost always wrong.

I know this is off topic, but I'm extremely interested in learning about planned but unbuilt epcot pavillions such as the original space and others, so if you could please share whatever you know or where you got it from, I would be most greatful.

Well thanks to you guys, I removed Jimm Hill from my bookmarks...
But, I read in his article that both DisneyWorld's AE and Disneyland's were planned at the same time. WDW's was supposed to open a few years before Disneyland's (DL's AE building was one of the coolest concept arts I have ever seen).
And of course, Disneyland's was for Tommorowland 2055...
Now also, according to the article, the DL version was phased out permanently due to the number of complaints about the WDW version....
