Oh geez, how did I forget about SpectroMagic? It was a great, great parade. Sort of set the mood for the fireworks afterwards. What is the honest reason they don't have a nighttime parade right now? I can still sing the song to SpectroMagic ("On this magic night...............")
Like everything else at WDW these days its all about the Benjamins as to why no nighttime parade. (Which was one of my favorite things to do at
WDW)
I can still hum the music in my sleep ("On this Magic ****gghhhhhtttt......."). It had everything. Heck, even the last float has the crows from Dumbo as silhouettes. It was one of those things that you can't believe they did every night because it felt special and exclusive to only something you saw.
So..........basically everythingLet me see, let me see...
MAGIC KINGDOM
- On Main Street U.S.A., do a new version of Walt Disney: One Man's Dream in... I don't know, maybe the Main Street Exposition Hall.
- The Jungle Cruise could use a refresh. Add new gags, new animatronics, a couple special effects, I'd even be fine with them removing the Headhunters since those are considered problematic nowadays.
- If there's room in Adventureland, build a new Indiana Jones Adventure similar but not identical to Disneyland's.
- Refurbish Pirates of the Caribbean. Keep the movie elements, but change the dialogue back to how it was before (so instead of the pirates looking for Jack Sparrow, they're looking for the town's treasure and don't know that Jack is sneaking around trying to find it first). Bring back the barker parrot, too.
- Instead of retheming Splash Mountain, give it a nice refurbishment with a couple new animatronics and updated special effects.
- Use the land north of Tom Sawyer's Island to make a new, small land based on New Orleans, allowing us to have a ride based on The Princess and the Frog without retheming Splash Mountain.
- Peter Pan's Flight gets a refresh. New animatronics, new special effects, stuff like that.
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh gets a quick refurbishment. Nothing too drastic, just update the animatronics (make them a bit fuzzier, have their mouths move, etc) and add in some new special effects. I love the ride as is, but I think these would do wonders.
- Princess Fairytale Hall and the Tomorrowland Speedway get the axe for new dark rides - a new version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and a dark ride based on Alice in Wonderland.
- Pete's Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus becomes a dark ride. Pete is the ringmaster of a circus featuring by obscure Disney characters like Humphrey the bear, Horace Horsecollar, the Three Little Pigs, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, and Salty the Seal. Or it could become a Dumbo dark ride (perhaps it could be based entirely on the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence).
- Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is moved to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Maybe they could bring Timekeeper back?
- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is refurbished, with more emphasis put on your actually being on an adventure with the "real" Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on as opposed to the size of a toy.
- Put something in the now-empty Stitch's Great Escape building. What, I don't know.
- New nighttime parade.
EPCOT
- Spaceship Earth refurbishment as planned, with new narration and the removal of that stupid screen-based finale.
- Instead of a Play Pavilion, the Wonders of Life space becomes an updated Horizons.
- Nemo and friends are out. The pavilion's name is The Living Seas again. The dark ride is now a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-esque voyage to the bottom of the sea.
- Isn't there space between The Land and The Seas With Nemo and Friends for a new pavilion? Maybe something weather-related could go there.
- The original Journey Into Imagination returns, albeit updated a little (new special effects, etc.). ImageWorks is upstairs again. Dunno what should happen to the Magic Eye Theater (maybe make it a restaurant or something).
- Gran Fiesta Tour is overhauled. Now instead of a search for Donald, it's the Three Caballeros taking us around Mexico and informing us of its history. Shenanigans ensue.
- At least one new World Showcase pavilion. Don't care which country it's based on, I'm not picky.
- The existing World Showcase pavilions get some new rides, assuming there's room. Germany finally receives the Rhine River Cruise, Japan gets a Mount Fuji bobsled ride, Morocco gets a Peter Pan's Flight-esque dark ride where you ride a flying carpet over Morocco, things like that.
DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
- Get rid of the Frozen Sing-Along.
- Tear down PizzeRizzo and use the space for a Muppets dark ride (like this one, for example).
- Animation Courtyard becomes Monstropolis, with a relocated Laugh Floor, Harryhausen's, and either a fun dark ride a la Tokyo's Ride and Go Seek or a dark ride/suspended coaster hybrid based on the door vault scene.
DISNEY'S ANIMAL KINGDOM
- It's Tough to Be a Bug gets a visit from a can of Raid, freeing up the theater in the Tree of Life for some new attraction that DOESN'T terrify children.
- Planet Watch gets the axe. The space is used for a new land or two (assuming how much space it takes up).
- Asia gets a dark ride based on The Jungle Book.
- The Yeti is finally fixed.
- Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama is bulldozed to make room for new rides based on prehistoric animals that are actually, y'know, good. I'd be okay with them adding an Ice Age ride, now that Disney owns the franchise.
Does anybody have any new ideas?
