As I also say in 5th gate discussions..... I PRAY we don't see one for a long time, if ever. Improve what we have... get AK up to full-park status... fill in all the dead areas in MGM... make Tomorrowland an actual LAND... and futureworld at epcot... well...

I agree W/ Disney2002. Finish the existing parks!

On my last trip I was @ WDW for 9 days. I did not have near enough time to see all that was to be seen and done. Even if I stayed for 3 weeks I don't think I could see everything in WDW now.

Do we really need another park?? :brick:

It has bee gone way before my time but the wrecking ball for this coaster was the Queen Mary...

I forget the name of that great wooden coaster, but the park was called The Pike. It was basically just a carnival with carnival rides and carnival games, just like Dino-Rama. Long Beach closed it down because they wanted to clean up the waterfront area.

The Queen Mary was located on a new pier and waterfront area. When Disney bought the Arvida corporation it came part of the deal and had intentions of developing the whole area.
