What new E-Ticket would you plan for MK?

At the moment there are at least 2 threads based on the question what would you CHANGE or what would you build in general in WDW. But while I have tons of ideas for EPCOT (especially WS, look up the thread), DHS and of course AK, it's really difficult for me to find an idea and place for a new true E-Ticket attraction in the MK. I thought about an Indiana Jones Adventure but most find it more appropriate in DHS and I agree with them. But what else could be an new E-Ticket for my favorite park and where place it?
My definition of E-Ticket. Always a RIDE! Heavily themed and very elaborate, huge in size, with big structures and dominating an entire park area. Not necessarily but often also a wienie.
What are your ideas?

I wish they would do something big with the 20,000 leagues under the sea area - how about an under the water Little Mermaid adventure???

Actually I don't think that a movie like this one is strong enough to function as a plot device for an E-ticket-attraction and pull big crowds. Nice as a darf ride in Fantasyland, a C-Ticket but definitely not E.
And the 20.000 LutS pool is GONE. Completely demolished and filled out.

A true E-Ticket?

I frickin' want the Fire Mountain morph-coaster in Adventureland.

What is a morph-coaster? I remember I read somewhere about a Fire Mountain in MK but wasn't it planned as one of two possible solutions (the other being being a "Villains Ride") for Fantasyland as a replacement for 20.000 LutS? I never heard of a coaster for Adventureland. But I would love it, Adventureland is MY land.

It was rumored to be for Fantasyland, but original survey work for a volcano was being done for the back of Adventureland (primarily for the view it would provide the Polynesian). If I remember correctly, height balloons were even used at one point. Honestly, I think Adventureland could do away with a big thrill ride, especially themed to a volcano.

The morph-coaster concept was an interesting one that I have always wanted to see work. The first section of the ride consisted of a traditional sit-down roller coaster car, but after the "eruption" of Fire Mountain, the "car" part would fallaway, leaving you suspended in your seat on an inverted coaster track. The mechanics of this were (obviously) fairly complicated, but quite feasible. However, MK has taken a back-seat as far as new E-Tickets go because, frankly, the other three parks need them more.

Hopefully that volcano in Adventureland will get built one day...

Do you have ANY links about this topic? I am very interested in this concept. Sounds a little like my ideas for my Great British Ghost Tour in the UK-Pavillon in EPCOT. First part is a walkthru but much longer and frightening than in the HM. Then you finally board an omnimover and after the first two thirds of the ride you go through a chimney and over the roof and when you reach the end of the roof your mover becomes a suspended vehicle, like the pirate boats in Peter Pan's Flight and the rest of the ride is an elevated ride over a ghostly village and landscape before you land again.

I don't have any current links. It was heavily discussed a few years ago (2003-2004 time frame) but I haven't anything new on it.
