Hmm. Could you explain Spaceship Earth? Specifically why you would change it? And why in the world Be Our Guest? Not even a ride and it's extremely popular!

The Cars idea really isn't bad...

I forgt to add enchanted tales too. Be Our Guest shows current management's lack of ambition to wow guests. They had the opportunity to do something really amazing with BatB as shown with the proposed EuroDisney stage show/ride. Disney cannot afford to not amaze anymore.
For Spaceship Earth, I want them to retheme it back to communication as opposed to its current theme generic, condescending love science or Judy Dench will snap your neck ride. When they did the Siemens refurb the theme was changed to a more generic history of technology and man. A return to the communications theme with a script similar to that of the 93 version would be great. They should've just brought Jeremy Irons back in to do some updates. Maybe Verizon could sponsor, they are a Baby Bell after all.

Oh, you mean the area not just the restaurant. Because the restaurant definitely wows. I would have liked to see a ride to go with it.
I can understand why they changed the communication theme. The way they have it now makes it easier to update. The other one just looked old there at the end. I also thought it was great that they added computers, since they seem to be our future. I was not alive in 93. Can you elaborate on the script?
I like Judy Dench. But to each his own.

Re-theme: Indy Speedway
Refurbish: Great movie ride
Replace- Lights, motor action and Backlot tour. The studios hasn't been a working studio in quite a while now. Gear towards more California Adventure like, but not Cars Land. Incorporate Monsters Inc area or Star Wars

Roger Ebert on talking down to kids
“Kids are not stupid. ... They don't miss a thing, and they have an instinctive contempt for shoddy and shabby work. I make this observation because nine out of ten children's movies are stupid, witless, and display contempt for their audiences, and that's why kids hate them.
“Is that all parents want from kids' movies? That they not have anything bad in them? Shouldn't they have something good in them — some life, imagination, fantasy, inventiveness, something to tickle the imagination?”

Re-Theme - Stitches Great Escape. Maybe to something a little edgier and create some non-Disney characters for it that people will come to know and love. Maybe if the tube had a giant scary alien in it instead!
Refurbish - Spaceship Earth. I would have said Splash but now I'm thinking SSE. I hate the descent. I actually had a dream I was stuck on the descent staring up at a couple of mini-lights and some ugly griders or netting.
Close - Triceratop Spin. I can't even stand the sight of it and dinosaurs should be so much cooler than that.
Create - Great Mouse Detective ride. I could be similar to a Mr Toad style with a wild caper feel to it. Sherlock Holmes is very hot right now so this attraction with Basil of Baker street merch tie ins could be quite popular. I already want a Toby plush.
Also maybe some people that haven't seen the movie will go back and have a look. It's not a bad little film.

Retheme: Captain EO back to a show similar to Honey I shrunk the kids with 3D effects and making Science fun.
Refurbish: W/Update - Great Movie Ride to freshen up the movie experience
Close : Coral Reef Restaurant - Terrible all around.
Thought about saying Pooh and bringing back Mr Toad but I refrained.
Create : A dark ride around Oswald and Mickey on a track but the cars are like teacups and can spin around.(Think Triceratops Spin but on level ground)

Re-theme : Fossil Fun Games in Dinoland. If I wanted to go to a carnival I wouldn't come to a theme park.
Re-Furbish: Carousel of Progress. Bring this wonderful attraction back up to date.
Close: Tomorrowland Speedway (Replace with a Meet the Robinsons indoor/outdoor coaster. I just keep thinking of the scene where they show him traveling into the future and they show space mountain.)
Create: Lucas Land. Everything including Echo Lake gone and replaced. It would take up roughly a 1/4 of the park, and get rid of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show with the coaster from DL.

Re-Theme: Backlot Tour. Or at least bring back Residential Street.
Re-Furbish: Carosel of Progress. So people stop talking about closing it down.
Close: Mission Space because it makes me feel sick.. but I guess that's a bit selfish
Create: Roger Rabbit 2 movie and an associated Toontown in DHS.

Tough question!
retheme- Imagination back to original or Tomorrowland Speedway, rename it back to Autopia but for God's sake get rid of the gas guzzling cars and get electric. That part of the park stinks like a truck stop from smoke and fumes.
refurb- Hmm. Prob UoE. Ellen now is a daytimr talk show host and Bill Nye (sadly) most kids have no clue who he is. Don't get rid of it, just make it more fun and modern.
Close- Stitch. Obviously. If not that, I'd close Innoventions. I remember when it opened and it was SO cool, but now it's like a weird giant McDonald's playplace no kids I know or adults want to use. It's just bad, and takes up such prime EPCOT real estate.
Create- A real, good original character themed ride. Mickey, Minnie and crew. If not that, I always wanted to see either an Aladdin or Lion King dark ride

ReTheme - Imagination Pavillion
Refurbish - COP...needs to be more up to date and have a new future section...actually all of Tomorrowland does.
Close - Speedway...there has to be a better use for that space
Create - a fifth gate - Pixarland, then use the space at DHS for Star Wars Galaxies

Love the idea of a South American/Amazon boat ride. They certainly have some gorgeous animals. I would love to see a taste of Carnivale brought to WDW though honestly that seems like a better for for Epcot with the restaurant/dancers/parade. Certainly, it's the most adult of the parks. But know Id love it.
