I guess I'll answer both questions you were asking.

Attractions I would change: Peter Pan.............not the ride but I'd do something for the wait times and load capacity.

Ones I wouldn't...........lots. Most of them actually.

Most of the classics should stay as they are...CoP, JC, Splash Mtn, the PCRC , TSI, (put the paint brushes back in), Tiki Birds, CBJ...I'm looking forward to the new & improved speedway. Of course, bring back Mr. Toad & 20,000 Leagues...(I know, I'm dreaming) & while I'm dreaming, the swan boats

What is one ride you wish they would never touch at Magic Kingdom? Only rides that are there now! For me it would be PeopleMover, it is like what a Disney ride should be! Here is a video from our long weekend at Magic Kingdom!

But they did change PM. The narration used to be quite different. I liked the previous one. Tom Marrow paging Tom Marrow.

I would give another vote for Splash and the Mansion. You can update and refresh, just don't alter please. This goes for PoC, don't you dare... never mind.

How about the Tea Cups, just keep putting in new bearings and grease. This is one of my favorites. I think I break the fastest spinning record every year on this ride. Yes, that is a challenge to all you mere mortals. Bring it.

CoP, I love it but please update the last scene, I think that one was intended to be updated. But even if it is left the way it is, I will still ride it on every visit to the MK.

I personally love the Tiki and Country Bears, but I have to beg my wife to go see them. Also most people I personally know can't stand those two attractions, so may be something should be done there. Even when the park is extremely busy and it is hot, I have not been in either of these attractions and experienced even a half full audience. People have no taste anymore, so sad.

I would make the Snow White coaster at least a minute or three longer. There isn't a ride for which I would not mind a bit of plussing but there are several areas in the park that have had their feel and tempo disrupted, like when the background music in Liberty Square was changed from the gentle harpsichord music to the more bombastic fife and drum music, or when the Pirates of the Caribbean plaza was changed to add all of the movie tie-ins and film scores. It's not ruined in a way that can't be undone but there was something about walking into that plaza and hearing cannons, steel drums, fountains, etc. as originally designed.

Another big offender is that stage in Tomorrowland. The theater used to be tucked away between Space Ranger Spin and the CoP so you could have performances in a more secluded area. With the stage now in that area by Space Mountain it's a lot harder to get away from whatever IP they're trying to shoehorn in there. The PeopleMover is a lot less relaxing when you have to hear blaring Disney pop songs for half the trip.

To top the list as mentioned by a few members above the Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain would not change ever. I would also add Big Thunder Mountain to that list.

Splash needs no change. Country Bears just need good audio equip, Nothing else. (by which I mean, Big Al's number is untouchable.) it's a small world needs no improvement. Tiki Birds need no change. (so happy the original pre-show is back. My family loves the alligator impression (lurk, lurk),

Ah, taste and subtlety! They should put you in charge. The MK should be sweet and dreamy. :cat:

Enough already with the blaring Disney pop and the loud Sparrow and screaming Muppets and the IP's shoved in your face and the godawful dance parties. The oppressive crowds are enough to have to deal with, the atmosphere doesn't need to be made more aggressively overloaded and stressed out.
