And Magic Journeys was over in the PhilharMagic building, correct? For some reason I thought Magic Journeys was in the Timekeeper building. I don't remember these two attractions, just the music from Magic Journeys and the Makin' Memories pre-show.
Not what I meant and I'm actually somewhat confused by this post.

A lot of good ideas from the WDW Magic crowd.
1. Meet and Greet (Buzz, Wall-E, Stitch, John Carter "if it does well", Tron etc)
2. Wall-E, Meet the Robinsons or Tron attraction of some kind
3. A show of some kind. Then move MI laugh floor to DHS and put something good in MI laugh floor space. (Just get rid of those awful CHAIRS!)

Is there enough room for a dark ride in there? Or does it have to be a theatre attraction?

Disneyland turned their CircleVision theater and lobby into Buzz Lightyear. I presume the dimensions are similar in the MK.

Yeah the "Stitch's Escape" building has 2 identical circle theaters in it, if the really wanted to they could probably fit a small "Buzz Lightyear" style dark ride in the Stitch space, but the "Monsters Inc Laugh Floor" building is almost twice as big Stitch. I think if they were to gut a theater for a ride the Monsters Inc space would be the easier of the 2 spaces to convert

I thought you was asking about the whole back story of Tomorrowland with everything fitting together.

They definately need to replace SGE, it is awful. The concept makes no sense, its not scary, it has no point. Alien Encounter was great but they really should re do the entire space into a completely new attraction. Alien Encounter was great because it was original and really only scary the first time you did it. After that not so much.
Perhaps a Wall-E ride here would be perfect, the que is allready built for it.
As for Tron, there is a ton of space in behind the wall inbetween COP and Buzz Lightyear's. A good 2 acre space could house a more intense indoor dark ride, with speed. Maybe a different version of the test track system, faster and smoother for a tron ride. This area could easily hold whatever the imagineers came up with.
And while were at it, at some point a change needs to be made to the Tomorrowland Speedway, it has become decrepid.

Here is my sketch up of the blueprints for Stitch's Great Escape.
Sorry it is so small, but if you can make out the colors and the details here is the key:
--Stitch's Great Escape Blueprint--
Red = Utilidors/Tunnels
Green = Ground Level/Building
Purple = Queue Set Up
Orange = Planters/Rockwork
Blue = Peoplemover/2nd Story Level
Grey = Rooflines
Alien Encounter opened in 1994 with New Tomorrowland and lasted until 2003.
Stitch's Great Escape opened in 2004 and lasted until 2013?
Disney likes to try to get 10 years out of their attractions to get their moneys worth.
Personally, I'd like to see them rework the building for a ride of some sort, but I'm not sure that is possibly with the building also being home to restrooms, 2 gift shops, and backs up to Cosmic Ray's. It also has the Peoplemover running through it and the Utilidors running underneath it.
If they had to keep the circular theater idea, I'd love to see if Disney can bring to life a true-life hologram and make the attraction an holographic 3D experience with an original storyline, cool special effects, maybe something with a planetarium base to it, but all holographic and 3d with planets spinning around above the audience and guests can view it form all angles. Otherwise, bring back a reworking of Alien Encounter.
All I know is that the attraction needs reworking or a replacement. The effects (many left over from Alien Encounter) are very cool still, but they need lots of TLC. The theaters themselves are filled with hard water stains, rust, peeling paint, and oil stains...all in which are disguised by lower light levels and periods of pitch black darkness. Honestly, I feel it is a health hazard. Guests also don't understand what is it and most (not all) come out feeling disappointed. Guests take small children and they get scared and attempt to leave mid show which is a stress on the cast working it. The seats themselves are also temperamental and some have trouble lowering and staying lowered. Both Alien and Stitch are more exciting that Mission to Mars but at least Mission to Mars didn't have so many people hating it.

I am shocked that the current iteration of SGE will soon be 8 years in age. AE was 8 years old when it got canned, and was cleary a superior show. Despite the inferior AA.
There are. 2 theatres, one preshow.
I'm not sure any other format could fit inside. Structural supports and the like seem to dictate the attraction form.

I mean seriously, you got rid of '20,000 Leagues', but not the Speedway? Come on. Especially in this echo-conscious society. Now Disneyland's is more justifiable, compare a Disneyland park map to a Magic Kingdom park map, and it's plain to see why. At least their track is interesting, ours sucks. Do they realize how much land that thing is? Ain't it just about the size of the FLE?
Ah well, who're we?
But I too think a Wall-E dark ride is just begging to be out in Tomorrowland. I mean, come on! Plus, it fits WAY better than Monsters, Inc. (still can't understand how they justify puttin' that in Tomorrowland, I guess 'cause the monsters are 'alien' to us? :lookaroun )
It'd be tough to change the format, I'd guess, and that's OK with me. I like that WDW, and MK in particular, has attractions in a whole bunch of different formats. A circular theater is pretty uncommon, and I'd love it if they could find an attraction that works well there.
