MK needs a Pinocchio dark ride.

I LOVED Pinocchio's Daring Journey in Disneyland. It is a fantastic "classic" dark ride. I would love for it to come to the east coast. Not sure of the probability of that happening, but it would be a welcome addition. I am sure that, down the road, Princess Fairytale Hall will be converted into a dark ride space again.

Mr. Toad could replace the Speedway.
Pinocchio could replace Princess Fairytale Hall.
Snow White could replace Mickey's Philharmagic, which could be moved to the Studios.

I'd rather the BoG and Enchanted Stories with Belle spot be used for a new dark ride. Those take up way too much space for an overpriced restaurant and a glorified MnG...
Or for a Storybook Canal ride! Or even both. If wdw had the creative ambition of old there would be boats sailing along Belle, Mermaid, Snow. Why, with New Fantasyland breaking with the traditional European village look in favour of toon sets, the scenery itself could've served as props for a traditional Storybook ride.

There's a perfectly good Movie Theater that could easily fit it in...

That looks like the Disneyland of my childhood back when we had Skull Rock. Why not all new dark rides instead of clones of Disneyland's? Cinderella, Aladdin, Mary Poppins . . .

Let's be honest. If they have for instance a Pinnochio ride at DL and DLP then why would they feel a need to put one in at WDW? If they had the same things at every Park across the globe then that would be a disadvantage to them because no one would have a reason to visit more than one Park across the globe. (shrug)

I remember seeing the show back in 2004 and I was amazed because the 3D actually popped out at you. When I seen it again in 2015, the 3D effects weren't popping out as I first seen it. Either I sat in a different location or I was wearing the wrong kind of glasses. Or it could be that I'm so used to modern CGI that the CGI from 2003 looks a little weird for certain characters. I still think the 3D Mickey and Donald still holds a little bit up, since this was one of the first times we're ever seen Mickey in CGI form. The second was in Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
I'd agree with this. Also the 3D seemed a little blurry to me.

But they do have the same rides and attractions all over the world, or at least in DL, MK and DLP. For example, for FL alone, Pan, Small World, Carousel, Dumbo, Teacups, Snow White before it was demolished.

I think its a small world should be moved to Epcot to open up space for a second new fantasyland expansion with Tangled, Frozen and a Pinocchio river raft or well a flume ride where you follow Pinocchio and Jiminy underwater and into Monstro to save Gepetto. I could imagine a giant Monstro figure stuck into the cliffs and guests would fall down from the mouth into a lagoon near Pinocchio's village. Then move philharmagic to Hollywood Studios and give it a randomized system. Now there's space for a new ride( Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi etc.) you also have princess fairy tale hall, but I think it should either be moved or completely demolished so that there's again space for a new ride. Then last but not least, add a labyrinth and a dark ride based on Alice in Wonderland on a part of the Tomorrowland Speedway. The other part will become a new Tomorrowland E-ticket. An autopia style ride will be added to Motion pavilion at Epcot for guests that don't want to ride the thrills of Test Track.

Sorry, but personally I find the Mk version itself quite a shame with it being inside and not really special. When it would be at Epcot, it would fit the theme better and they could maybe do something about the building

I didn't say I didn't like it...I'm saying that the size is fairly big for at least 2 dark rides..
The multi basement levels and undulating floor would take some work to level.

Better restoring the Snow White space back to a ride. And use the unused space in Pooh for an expanded ride.

And those tents....

I think Pinocchio is a good idea, but I'd rather they not just copy and paste the same ride from DL. Someone above said there'd be no reason to visit any other parks if they all contained the same attractions, and I totally agree.

I've said this more than once, but Legend of Sleepy Hollow dark ride would be amazing. It was also planned for the original MK. Don't see any reason why not. It would be unique to all Disney Parks.

And it bears repeating, MR. TOAD'S WILD ROLLERCOASTER.

Oy! Here we go again....

Or what about moving the ride, keeping it at Magic Kingdom, but like what Tokyo is going to do. This would still open up space.
