Ahhh...that explains it.
Unlikely to land there anyway. Pirates 2.0 has a bit of an edge there, I hear.
It almost made it to Paris, though.
They even had an owl, looking suspiciously like Hoot, in their preview center.

Western River Expedition. A simple explanation is Pirates, but in the Wild West.

You think you can find him a nice Florida girl to cohabitate with?

Its a really interesting part of Disney history. Marc Davis was working on that, and I think Tony Baxter got put on the project as well when he was very young. Well, he decided to build Big Thunder and mocked it up and it helped spell the ending of the WRE (in Marc Davis eyes). Thats not nearly the entire story but part of it
Ill try to find the article on it. It was an interesting read, someone correct me if I have the story wrong.

Jim Hill has an awesome, multi-part history of that project in his archives.

Magic Journeys?
Why not have both? Instead of a Blue Sky Cellar, a Blue Sky Odyssey, where you can dine among models and such of upcoming EPCOT and WDW projects. But I would also agree with having an exhibit in either the Journey Into Imagination post-show, or Innoventions, especially if it meant correcting the southeast quadrant.
I don't know, it could be that a Glendale, California girl may be necessary.

Blue Sky Odyssey sounds like a good idea. I love how Imagineering took the wine exhibit at DCA and so deftly converted into the BSC concept. There is that room the Epcot 25th exhibit was in also. No shortage of space in Epcot that is for sure.

The concept for HKDL, just to be clear, is NOT WRE or even a new age version.
It's basically a version of DCA's Grizzly Peak with an EE-like coaster experience instead of a water one ... and the rumor mill is they may resurrect 2-3 of Marc Davis' original AA animal scenes proposed for WRE as show aspects of this proposed concept.
I still have my doubts this is more than blue sky because of all the development work done on Mansion and Pirates (a whole land basically) ... although this would be a relatively inexpensive E-Ticket experience that could be used and would be if a small Frontierland gets added.
Oh, and their JC is very kewl.

The old 25th exhibit is being used for the Segway tours. They use it for a prep room before they take everyone out on the tour.

Disney doesn't build those type of attractions anymore ... well, not in Florida at least.
But hey you got Idol, now that's some fine entertainment!

well, it's good to know that real estate is being put to good use ...

True, but that's not an obstacle to anything. They were using that room for Segway before the EPCOT 25th Anniversary Gallery went in.

That is exactly what i was thinking! Why would Disney refurb an attraction that they know will become closed in an while anyway? It's Just like wasting money! unless we could be wrong about Backlot closing, but i doubt it!
