Insulated metal panels aren’t the future?But are they capable these days of theming a ride building on more than one side?

Maybe when Disneyland opened. Today... I’d have to say no.

Another problem of Orlando's TL is that it wasn't really planned well. The original view from the hub was this:
which is just the two theaters and the Skyway Station. Doesn't bode well when your weenie is the thing that takes you to a better section of the park. The *Star Jets added verticality which was much-needed, and Space Mountain was the kind of blockbuster attraction that the land really lacked.
Sightlines end up being the bane of TL; I'm not sure what needs to be removed to resolve that but I think that removing a lot of the crap that was added in 94* will go a long way in cleaning the views up.

Here's the REAL question . . . do we have any indication that Disney has interest in redeveloping the Speedway plot any time in the next decade? Because all this talk of what they *could* build there falls flat if they're not even considering it.

I don't think so, no. It's one of those things that will likely never go away.

Tokyo's version of this entrance never changed much obviously, and even though it's missing the kinetic energy of the Peoplemover, it's a good look.

Tokyo placed Space Mountain as a perfect weenie (and it’s Star Jets were elsewhere) - remember Orlando’s Space Mountain was meant to go where the CoP was built (and partially envelope the Skyway building) when the land was laid out.

Any update on the Stitch theatre? They could easily have something in there by Summer 2022.
Wasn't there some talk of an exhibit or something? Or was that in the Laugh Floor?

^^^ I agree, Tokyo's is perfect. And Martin I didn't realize that. What changed?
In Orlando? Space Flight / Trip/ Port became Space Mountain and the CoP moved from Anaheim. I looked at it in here

I had hoped that they would bring back flight to the moon for the 50th. The theaters are still in tact... it really wouldn’t take much work to make it happen.
Diamond Horseshoe as well.
The latter would need far less work than the former.

Very true.
At this point I’d settle for being able to sit in the theatre and watch your mission to Mars tribute!

Where is Diamond Horseshoe located? And the theater for flight to moon is it the same used for Laugh Floor?
Frontierland
No, that's where they put Stitch's Great Escape after Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter. Laugh Floor is in the old CircleVision 360/Timekeeper show building.

Thanks, I couldn't remember what Laugh Floor was before.
SGE, any hope that a new attraction will replace it? There were rumors about Wrecked Ralph... have ideas change for a replacement?
