This is confusing to me. And Ralph fits best in Tomorrowland. Hands down. Alongside another fantastical IP about entering into computer systems (Tron).

Communicore had a Pepper's Ghost leprechaun dancing around a computer system..
They could put the garbage truck from Innoventions in ImageWorks at this point, and it would be an improvement.

The dark part wasn't that scary, all they have to do is cut any mention of murder.

But it was somewhat scary. Something I think is sorely lacking these days. Yes, you have "thrills", but they seem to be missing the chills. The only place that seems to still be understood is in the shows.. Fantasmic and even HEA have villain scenes. It was a core tenet for Walt, but being the super fluffy parks seem to have been the order of the day for decades.
While WiR and Vannelope are in Communicore, anyone know if they'll be displacing Baymax or Joy & Sadness, or, will they open up another area of the abandoned hallways?

on Disney Park Blogs the writer of the article relied to a comment about a mom saying her child wanted to meet them and the author said they are staying so they are opening another abandoned hallway!

He was actually a traditional British "Pearlie," which is why the song was a pastiche of English Music Hall songs. He was also very obviously performed by an American with a terrible Cockney accent. Nothing against Ken Jennings, who was a suitably-creepy Toby in the original cast of Sweeney Todd on Broadway. His accent was terrible in that as well. I'm sure it made Angela Lansbury cringe during every performance. lol
Excellent. That's the opposite of 'a cut.'
I'll ask if the ImageWorks thing is also a M&G and if they'll be moving there.

Fun story about this: As a kid that hated the dark in general (not because of "monsters" even), I was terrified. Heck, I didn't like the fact the ride sent you into a dark tunnel at the start. The literature scene was really the only part I didn't like but it was a trade off for the rest of the ride.
Luckily the CM working gave me their flashlight and spaced the group of cars (I think there were 2 empty trains around us, slow day anyway) out so I wouldn't disturb anyone with it. Yes I was 5 but that CM left a huge impression. After I rode it, I did it again but "as a big kid". I would've sucked it up in the end but the CM made it go over much more smoothly.
Honestly the dumb jump scare in the current version sucks. That doesn't need to be in there at all.
Tl;Dr: scared of the dark, CM was friendly. Would've sucked it up anyways because of the dragon. Wouldn't want them to change it to appease a small group.

I actually like the horror/literature section.

Yes thats why, I think they realise how slow they move beacuse of the risk of making an atraction for a movie nobody knows how it will be recieved. So to have something of the last movie they put a simple overlay somewhere with some characters and a logo and thats it.
Like COCO on the mexican pavilion or the one man dream or incrediblesummer on tomorroland. I am sure we are going to see plenty of this examples...

They need to clarify that better because the wording on the article in general was confusing, it was like they will be in Innovations West and then permanently in ImagineWorks

Figment sells a lot of merch, so I doubt these are his last days. I hope not, anyway. I wonder how they will tie Wreck It Ralph in with the ride. Or if they will even bother...?
But when I last visited in May, ImageWorks was in embarrassingly bad condition: lots out-of-order, unfocused/dim projectors, burnt out lighting, filthy nasty threadbare carpets in the stepping tones area, several areas behind black curtains. It was a hot mess. (I stared wistfully at the ceiling access hatch of the old turntable, thinking of better times)

Is it possible that all characters are going to move over to Imagination, each with a different "portal"? Paving the way to demolish that part of Innoventions?

At this point, demolishing Innoventions would be putting it out of its misery. Frankly, it hasn't been worthwhile since the Communicore days.

I think that's an overstatement of what sort of villain he is. Nigel Channing's a Vernon Dursley.This is why I always had thought Nigel Channing was a Villian...

Yeah I don't see what other reason they'd have to move stuff away from Innoventions.
Hopefully the Spine project is getting closer
