So is the HISTK Play area going to be re-themed to Bug's Life, as we have been hearing for quite some time now, or to a Toy Story area, as this article is stating? This is the first I have heard of changing the honey play area being re-themed to Toy Story. Anyone else hear of this?

God bless the "Ignore" button.
The article makes it sound like they are thinking of getting rid of the Carousel. Why would they want to do that (unless it making this "courtyard" a place to sell merch)?
It's going to be a DVC experience. They will replace each scene in CoP with a mockup of the different rooms/resorts available. :lookaroun
He is talking about Cinderella's Golden Carousel...
So? :shrug: :lookaroun
So why are you pulling CoP into the situation? If we're talking about Cinderella's Golden Carousel and you suddenly start up about CoP... why?

It never says anything about removing the Carousel. It just says they're redoing the area between the castle and carousel and turning it into a castle courtyard.

There's also one other little thing I'm iffy about. Why would Star Tours be in 3-D? It doesn't really seem necessary to me. Besides, you're in an enclosed vessel, so why would things suddenly start flying towards you when you're inside? I don't know, it just doesn't seem necessary to me. Oh well, the rest of the refurb sounds amazing though.

I have to say that this meshes perfectly with all the other news out there.

The enchented forest idea is awesome! I really think it has so much potential to be a fully realized "land". The WDW version of toontown has always been cheap looking. I'd love to see it be as amazing as the toontown in DL but, of course, have it's own fresh and new environment. It would also make it much easier to create a transition between Fantasyland and "Tomorrowland. It's an absolutely brilliant idea. BRILLIANT!

The second concept of moving the carousel is excellent too. It would probably work great in the Enchanted Forest area.

I've had one of my armchair imagineering ideas for awhile. And that is to move the carousel to the large circular plaza to the right of the American Adventure and give it a heavy "Americana" overlay. It would add energy and kinetics to the AA area between shows which it desperately needs.

Finally the Star Tours 2 concept speaks for itself. And it would explain what is taking so long. It would be very much like George Lucas to hold out for a technology as long as necessary to realize his vision. So I guess I am going to have to ride over and over and over again. :dazzle:....:)

You're thinking about the cheap 3-D tricks of the past where things fly out at you. Instead, think about the movies coming out in theatres lately like Up and Bolt that are in 3-D. The way 3-D is used now is to add an extra dimension to films...not for gags.

So someone pretty much just put together all the rumors out there and made it into a list. Is that blog run by ReDis?:lol:

The only thing I don't see happening is Toontown going. It just doesn't seem plausible.


EDIT: And I sure hope that we don't get a Toy Story play place to replace HISTK. We've got enough TS as it is.
