How about a Figment spinner?

Someone's awfully sure of themselves.
Imagination should be on its way. Same with Star Tours, hopefully.Someone said M:I coaster is pretty far along, so who knows.
Do you really think these attractions are on their way? I hold out hope they are, but, something inside tells me not to hope too much. And if they are, how much of a the budget will be cut before anything actually starts, thus handcuffing Imagineers and not doing a great refurb?

Little Mermaid DR - forseeable future
Monsters INC Coaster - Obama may not still be President
Star Tours II - how old is George?
Imagination 3.0 - my imagination is not that good
New "Land" at AK - the 2000s will be back in retro style
Fantasy Land Refurb - not in my lifetime
Monorail expansion --- not in anybody's lifetime

Imagination I'd stake a lot on, from everything I've heard.
I would have said the same on Star Tours, but that's gotten a little fuzzy the past few months. But the last I heard it will happen soon. Just don't ask me how soon is soon.
And I don't know too much on M:I, but I think either Lee or Martin said they had started to move past the planning stage on that one.

Anybody know anything to do with what will happen to WoL? Other than using it for various presentations why would Disney let this collect dust? Despite recession I wouldn't doubt for Imagination to get a MAJOR refurb in a couple of years. The wait times for Spaceship Earth were really affected by the rehab and everytime I walk past the Imagination pavilion the wait is always 5 minutes. Disney needs to make a really impressive update if they are going to get people to come back to JIYI.

WoL will continue to be used for special events I assume. And I also assume no new pavilion will open there until there is a sponsor in place. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Little Mermaid DR
Monsters INC Coaster
Star Tours II
Imagination 4.0
New "Land" at AK
Fantasy Land Refurb
That`s pretty much the order as I understand it. Maybe swap 2 and 3. Depending on how safe they think the economy is the first few could be open for the 40th. Or in 5 years.

One could only hope.

Prety much like Martin said.
Actually, I'd say the first three could all be swapped around.
Land at AK was slated to break ground this year...probably won't, but even if it did there's a good chance any or all of the first three will be open before it's completion.

Was the new land in AK going to replace Camp Minnie Mickey or be somewhere else?

Monorail Expansion - To DHS... eventually probably... maybe within the next decade. The plans are there, but the money's not.

Can you desribe planned the monorail route to DHS?

It's the same one that's been in place since DHS was built... features a junction at the northeast corner of World Drive and Epcot Center Drive if I remember correctly. It's been a long time since I saw the plans... maybe 95'ish. It's been there this long and hasn't been built though, but I think with the rehaul of the studios you've got a much greater chance of it being built.

I would think Mermaid would be one of the ones to happen first like martin said, afterall all they have to do is use the same plans as DCA in terms of the ride, and that saves costs which is what Imagineering is going to be all about now, duplication. Its been ready to go for quite awhile now, all they need is that light to move from yellow to green. Its not red at least, thats a good thing.

I'm just telling you, don't hold your breath. The economy is down and the Magic Kingdom's attendance is doing just fine. When the economy goes back up you might see a Little Mermaid DR, but it's not green lit and nothing new's being green lit that A) costs large sums of money and B) doesn't drive a marketing campaign.

Sorry Insider, but I just do not foresee any sort of monorail expansion unless the materials and construction methods are radically changed to save costs. And then we would have to see a reworking of the existing infrastructure in order to cope with additional destinations.
