Well, I think everyone agrees it would be best in MGM studios, but the reason I suggested the land is because the rumor IMPLIES that it will be put in EPCOT. I was just suggesting a better place then HISTA.

BTW, I read up on the 'Thunderbird', and Im thinking it would make a cool theme for an indoor coaster, with lots of mist, thunder and lighting, maybe even a little rain and wind..I'll post the entire idea on the Imagineer site, when I get it all worked out in my head and on paper, but, does anyone have any pictures of Cali Screamin'? Any descriptions/ pictures? I've heard there's some sort of 'water launch'? Is the track submerged? What? Throw me a fricken' bone here!

I went when the water launch wasn't working due to the rockn' by the bay series. The car pulls underneith a walkway to paradise peir after exiting the station. You then break, and stay there. You see the hill about 100 feet infront of you. Then the music blairs and you go off. The track is about 1 ft about the water. The LSM's are cooled by a misting system that was being tested by a WDI while we rode.

Ok, I can see the Soarin over ride at the Land. Awesome concept and lets face it FutureWorld has been stuck in the 1980's since well 1982.

I dont know much about this Flik THing but it sounds like a candidate for Studios not Epcot.

An indoor theatre at Epcot, HMM, lets see don't we have a few of those already? But, if the keep shows like Blast etc playing then let it be built.


As for a theater I can see a green house adutorium. A large theater with stadium style seating in a green house. In front of the people there is the screen for the movie. Alrought the theater, in between seats, in rows, and just everywere there would be small trees and grass. The more the show progresses the larger the vegitation grows. By the end of the movie the suroundings are huge.

As for Boardwalk at WDW, it was originally intended to be built with carnival type rides like those founf at Coney Island. Budget Cuts of course axed that idea.

I thought the reason the coaster and ferris wheel were removed from the Boardwalk was the fact that from both you would be able to see "ugly" backstage areas. Budget cuts weren't really an issue when they built the Boadwalk -- Disney was still rolling in dough.

I know, budget cuts were the least of anyones thinking durring the WDW building boom in the mid 90's.

Heading for the great escape.
Germanys got some large mountains too. But enough about the barmaids. I think youll find that the term Alps is generic and most of that region has some bumps they call alps, and as the chocolate stuffing watch makers are surrounded by boxheads frogs and pasta pushers I dont think it matters.
My only concern is that its a little bit dated.

Having stayed at the New York, New York Hotel and Casino in Vegas, I would have guessed that a better reason for leaving the coaster out would have been the noise that it would have generated for the surrounding rooms. Where was this coaster supposed to have been?

They gotta do something with Odyssey. The only thing its good for is a place to take your "bio-breaks" as you're walking towards World Showcase or Futureworld (depending whether you're coming or going). I had posted something in here sometime ago about a "Test Track Cafe" -- maybe they can make Odyssey a "TT Cafe" -- but according to some of you who all replied to that posting... there was no "TT Cafe" in the works.

TT Cafe or not, something I agree. Something has to be done with Odyssey. I know it's used for CMs, but something that big and that public should be used for guests, not for people who work there.
Perhaps part of that space could be used for a replacement for the Passholder Lounge that's being closed. They could open it back up for a TT Cafe and have a part of it be for the Passholders.
What say you, forum dwellers?

Any word on what kind of special events might be held in there, Rob?

Never fear, it does host things. The food and wine festival for instance often uses it. I'm not exactly sure what for this year, but I'm betting it will, and that starts the 19th of October :)

About the Odessy..
It would be great if Disney would use the building for special events, but I would hope they keep it filled with something throughout the year. I have heard that they use the building for VIP events, usually not open to the public. It is those kinds of uses for the building that I dont agree with. As I have said in a previous post, the building kinda just says "you can't get in here, but we can" to the paid guests.

Yeah... I'll be there... hopefully, with a large contingent of my friends... I'm currently trying to get a bunch of people I know together to go to the Festival... But, I'll bet I won't be getting inside Odyssey. It's probabl;y being used for the special too-expensive-for-a-college-student-to-pay-for dinners and such... which leads me to...

Exactly... I agree wholeheartedly. Open it up to the guests, or tear it down to make room for something else.

And then we should remove the VIP lounges in the pavillions and the Passhlder lounges too...?

You want it open to all "paying" guests but you seem content to have the passholder lounge which is only open to guests who pay a certain price.
