So are we to assume that nothing new is coming to AK or Epcot until atleast 2014?

Ive been busy with school and stuff recently and I havent had my chance to chime in on all these D23 announcements. I think this is really exciting. Fantasyland should be spectacular and Star Tours 2 sounds excellent. If Imagination and Mysterious Island are not far behind these announcements, then its going to be a really exciting time to be a WDW fan. Not this stuff isnt exciting enough though.

There's no way JII would be better than MI no matter how ya slice it.

Uhhh yea it would be.

I fear MI will be a mishmash hack job of a perfect land from Tokyo Disney. Whereas Imagination will bring a classic ride back from the grave and update it into the classic it deserves to be.

Point, Imagination.

EE was not a hack job. If you heard they would be building a gigantic Everest mountain with a giant yeti 2 years before it opened you would of said the exact same thing. But they did pull off a quality ride. (don't bring up the AA yeti again for Christ's sake, we know it's in B-mode half the time). Joe knows he can't screw up MI if he wants to undertake that challenge and I KNOW he won't. Likely they'd get the same designers to design the island if it were ever coming to the world, too. Don't be so pessimistic. JII is a failing DARK ride that can't compete with today's dark rides unless you drastically change the entire ride. A dreamfinder won't outdo a volcano. And if anyone were to challenge that, it'd be you SirGoofy. Sorry :kiss: but it's true.

I was quite excited for EE. It's actually what started my time here at the boards. They promised us show scenes out the wazzo, and theming out...the other wazzo. We got 3 show scenes and a relatively empty mountain.

Hack job? I wouldn't go that far, but they certainly disappointed me.

I have all the faith in the world in Joe. Budgets? Not so much.

JII is a failing DARK ride that can't compete with today's dark rides unless you drastically change the entire ride.

Which is what's in the cards.:wave:

No, I think you'd find A LOT of people here that share my view on JII.

But I'm tired of you trying to pick fights with me, so consider this my last post on the topic.

Other than California Adventure getting a massive upgrade and expansion over the next few years - basically blocking off portions of the park, it would be interesting to see major refurb projects taking place at all WDW parks at once - with the new expansion in Fantasyland / Toontown Fair closure, Imagination getting a makeover, some project at Animal Kingdom, and something at Hollywood Studios.

Wouldn't it restrict the flow of guests if major portions of WDW were walled off, or will there be the same amount of foot traffic to all of the parks because WDW is so expansive that even through the pixie dust, there still is a lot to do in WDW. Tomorowland with its Space Mountain refurb has, as many of our fellow WDWmagicers have said, created a "dead" land. Wonder how Fantasyland will still operate at WDW amid all the construction?

Personally, awaiting news of the re-opening of the Adventurers Club at Pleasure Island, just like many of you on this board. It's been just about a year, lagging economy and all. If Disney is pumping all this expansion refurb funding at many of its parks across the globe, the Disney execs should have some consideration to throw some pixie dust at PI and re-open a few of the clubs, but that topic has been beaten a lot over the past year and a half.

Lastly, visiting WDW in December, and looking forward to the holiday season and decorations, but considering taking a break from WDW and Central Florida for a few years while all the expansion / refurb work progresses. A Disney cruise and/or trip to Europe might be in the plans for me in 2010-11. A taste of Disney, but through other avenues.

At least as far as I can tell, the only portions of Fantasyland that will need to be walled off for the expansion will be the 20k plot and Toontown. That's it. The rest should go operate as normal while the construction is in progress.

As for expansions to Epcot and AK, I think we could see some smaller scale projects come to those parks. The whole Mysterious Island expansion probably won't happen anytime soon, but you never know. I can see Epcot getting the long awaited Imagination overhaul and possibly Captain EO next year. AK might get a smaller scale upgrade, such as maybe a badly needed dark ride, but I doubt anything major will happen until after Fantasyland is done.
