Yeah that sounds like loads of fun.

Plus the interior for the ride is awesome! You got to love the abandoned factory look this and the new Spiderman ride have. Where there's nothing, but blank walls and screens.
Abandoned factories, Military bases, High School Cafeterias, these are all the fantasy places we always wanted to visit!

You remember the Superman kiddie ride by Target? That got me to watch the show it was based on... and how I discovered Corey Burton and Lance Henriksen!
I remember the fake rollercoaster in the food court, and there were support beams in between the rails so it wouldn't even work!

I just thought of another one.... This is for Disneyland.

The Guardians of the Galaxy have always been a weird fit to me for the Tower of Terror. I would think a weird deranged Dr. Strange Ride would fit better, and it could still be a terrifying creepy attraction. It could look like some kinda Lost Sanctum or temple and instead of the screens they could build it up a bit and utilize an illusion similar to a Vekoma Mad House (look up Houdini's Great Escape at Six Flags Great Adventure/New England or Hex The Legend of the towers at Alton Towers) to create the mirror verse.

Also Star Tours kinda bothers me because the continuity is all snarled and it looks like its the future but its the past but its also the future and RX is recalled but he hasn't flown yet and if that all can be jammed into one ride just make one of the four simulator pods the original ride just for fun.

Always thought that the Star Tours redo would have worked better if guests were given the opportunity to pick their era/destination. There are six simulators, so that means 2 sims for Prequels, 2 for the originals, and 2 for the sequels. The randomization for scenes can still exist, but are dependent upon which trilogy you choose to ride in.

Re-Do: Star Tours (Disney's Hollywood Studios)
While Star Tours relocating to Galaxy Edge.

Which will be part of new Toontown section.
"Join Roger Rabbit as our driver host to take a wild ride on a tour to Toontown as the guests inside Gus the Bus, a Toontown city bus, when things will go wrong, meeting Benny the Cab as Roger blasts into the bus ceiling with Roger's shaped ceiling, almost swallow by Monstro the Whale, and saving Jessica Rabbit from burning fireworks factory, until firework rocket into the roof as go up into outer space and falling back to Toontown as crashing landing."

Re do of: buzz lightyears space ranger spin, updated to buzz lightyears astro blasters.
Pretty straightforward. I love srs, and despite the fixed canons i see it as the best version of buzz shooting rides outsidneof maybe planet rescue due to the larger showscenes, and how planet z is before zurgs lair, not after which i prefer as it never made sense to go from zurg to planet z, and the star tunnel made a lot more sense as an escape route. However, if i were to update it i would give it cars fit with new wired blasters, updated animatronics and projections, and more decoration in the queue to make up for the barren walls put in place due to rereouting. I would also change zurgs voice to the one in later versions. Just quality of life changes

Oh man I was trying to use those fixed stationary blasters after years of wired ones in other parks from Disneyland Paris to Disneyland to Six Flags To Lake Compounce, and I was the WORST! It's like how Millenium Falcon aims with the movement of the vehicle instead of the gun which always annoyed me. Also if the light isn't bright enough I have no idea what's going on.

I never really had issues with it since i did grow up with the ride (in fact stuff like ghost blasters always fell flat for me due to the faulty lasers but yeah) and i dunno if the scene progression is a unpopular opinion

Oh and one more idea that isn’t really a retheme, but I would love to bring back the fire mountain idea as a triumphant return to non-ip rides at disney. it would be a vekoma multi launch family coaster that could also be a new version of the omnicoaster, and the first to have a drop track, swing launch, and more. Of course like the original plans it’s situated behind pirates and the jungle cruise, and is housed in a big volcano (probably like 90–00 feet tall, that looms over adventureland and can even be seen from seven seas lagoon and rhe resorts. The story would be tied into s.e.a and mostly indoors. Think of it as a souped up expedition everest. Might also have some moana inspiration too (not a direct ip, but just more a subtle nod like dinosaurs inclusion of aladar)

It was my first laser ride but I had like a 22 year absence from WDW due to things I cant control and in that time I did rides like that Operation Reeses Pieces or whatever it's called at Hershey and the Buzz in LA and Paris and I totally forgot that it was like this here. It caught me off guard. Either way I had lots of fun spinning the car around like a teacup! lol

Retheme Ratatouille to a Tour de France race around the country ride. You could be following the race but also getting a view of the country of France. IP doesn't belong in World Showcase

I totally agree! Bring back Maelstrom with an expanded show building and better technology which would make it so much better than a cheap Frozen ride. Frozen should be in Fantasyland. World Showcase also needs more pavilions.

I'd like to see that Spain Paviion someone posted about. It looks really awesome. I also think they should do a South American country which is not represented yet at all. Australia would be cool too.

Oh yes, and i would also retheme its a small world at magic kingdom to a more thematically appropriate enchanted forest ride that goes through different scenes inspired by disney movies that dont have their dedicated rides in fantasyland. I made a ai image that is kind of a example of what the loading area would look like.

Some of the scenes would include the tangled lanterns scene, frozen, pinocchio, aladdin, beauty and the beast, and sleeping beauty. Possibly fantasia too

Yep, indeed Frozen is a better attraction, but Maelstrom fits Epcot much better. They should have just upgraded it.

And put Frozen in either Magic or Hollywood Studios. Picture what a Frozen land would look like in the Echo Lake area. That would really help with crowd flow too, because each direction would be covered.
Yeah put Arendelle around echo lake, it would look amazing!
