Most of what you've seen in Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure (DL), Journey into Imagination (original), and Splash Mountain is thanks to this great individual.Maxime said:

whatever it is they are planning sounds good!
two questions though, discovery bay??? explain...please? also out of interest, how do you all know so much about the imagineers? do you know them or is due to the ol world wide web?
I know half the time they dont come true...but i love ride rumours because they get my imagination going! i love trying to think what they are planning!

In my opinion Disney's greatest unbuilt land.
I know I don't know any Imagineers, I just read a lot of books and do a lot of searching around on the web.

SO is there a lot of difference between Indy's ride system and Spidey's? Because I've never been to Indy, and Spidey is just the most amazing attraction I experienced when I was down there in 99. The idea of a dark ride mixed with a sim and a 3D movie is just unbelievable.
Spiderman is if you will a 3 axis motion base (Star Tours) on a moving platform - with the ability to spin. An EMV (Indy, Dinosaur) recreates the 3 axis movement in a more limited way using pistons in each corner, but again on a moving platform. The biggest difference ride-wise is an EMV can`t spin more than a few degrees, if at all.

So the Spidey one is like Star Tours, which is old, but is capable of doing more than the EMV, even though this one is newer?

Maybe some sorta "EXTREME!!!111!!!" take on the Peoplemover or an Omnimover attraction, I don't see how an EMV or a scoop could take that fast to load...

That would be pretty darn cool. This probably makes the most sense for the future, since they are beginning to work with all these new Animatronics that can go places by themselves and dont really need any CMs to take care of them. Im mentioning this because if it was a trackless EMV or something to that nature...it wouldnt have any restraints, it would just be in its own control. Which can be kindof freaky...but extremely cool at the same time. I mean the only way i could see that happening is if its a road or something instead of a track. It does seem pretty unrealistic, but cool to imagine!

The trackless EMV wouldn't be too much of a stretch. I could be wrong, but I believe that the elevators in the fifth dimension show scene of TOT do their forward motion between elevator shafts without a track, just sensors. I also think that the Univserse of Energy ride vehicles are not attached to their track, merely guided by it.
