So I am pretty sure that I already know the answer to this poll lol but I would love to see what all of you would do to the park that you think needs the most work to help make it a park Walt would be proud of :king:

EPCOT by far WS is fine but FW it the worse it has ever been.
SSE: still has no ending
TLS: Nemo doesn't fit FW
JII: Need I say more
Test Track: Doesn't fit in FW to fix this there needs to be changes to the pre and post shows as well as the story.
MS: while I hate the ride is fine
UOE: needs to be bought up to date but is the easiest to fix.
Over all look FW needs major aesthetic upgrades and some greenery would be nice.

Voted Animal Kingdom. While it is a much debated topic, I think its obvious. I seriously doubt anyone who even can spend open to close there would argue that there is much work to be done. HS is a close second though...

I took it as work on stuff that is already there?
Either works lol I was thinking that just what would you do to fix that park
It could be what attractions would you plus or what attractions would you add, or even what attractions would you get rid of.
Like for example, I think that DHS needs a lot of work, they need to update the Great Movie Ride, bring in Indiana Jones from Disneyland and maybe get rid of the BLT and replace it with Carsland, and get rid of Sounds Dangerous...

I voted for the Studios.
Animal Kingdom does need more rides/attractions, but it does have lots to do (if you take the time and are interested.)
The Studios has 5 rides (6 if you count the Great Movie Ride). One of it's biggest problem is it's shows are outdated:
- Great Movie Ride
- Indiana Jones
- Beauty and the Beast
- Muppet Vision 3D
However, the biggest issue with DHS is the wasted space in the back. They could do ANYTHING with that area, including building multiple attractions.

Why would you not count GMR?

Well, that too.
Work meaning anything by way of improvement. Expansion, additional attractions, proper care and maintenance to the attractions they DO have, etc.

I truely am torn between EP and DHS but would have to pick DHS.
My fam has spent a day there (always in Sept) going between ToT, RRC, GMR and TSM. That is all that interests us there.
1-The Backlot tour is AWFUL!
2-Indiana Jones is outdated and never changes. How about use REAL people from the audience (not the plants used now) to create a couple of movie scenes, then have available a copy of it for the participants!
3-I have never gotten the point of the New York Skyline setup (no - please don't explain it to me)
4-The Prince Caspian thing was an utter waste of time.
5-The Car stunt show is ok - once.
6-Even though we ride it at least once each trip (A/C), most scenes in the GMR are lost on my teenage daughters.
7-With all the stars Disney has and being the pretense of being a "movie studio" why aren't there any meet and greet or autograph session type things or daily performances other than the special events like "ESPN the WEEKEND" or the like? I have always wondered about it. I know my girls would love something like that.
Overall I view DHS as a GREAT half day park.

I think Epcot could use the most work on existing attractions and areas. As in I think it would be the easiest to fix so they ought to just go ahead and do it.
I think they may just need to re-theme Future World because it's obviously gotten incredibly hard to work with. It's okay for Tommorowland at MK to be a sort of cartoon take on what people thought the future would be, the whole "the tommorow that never was" kind of thing, but it's harder to keep Future World from being dated and not becoming silly.
I hated Body Wars because the combo of a simulator ride and travelling through blood and guts made me ill, and this is coming from someone who doesn't get motion sickness normally, but with the popularity of Star Tours, I think they could update the ride.
With all the emphasis now on healthy eating and exercise and all that, I think they could do a lot with WoL.
Universe of Energy would benefit greatly from a new pre-show. I enjoy Ellen and Bill Nye and wouldn't mind seeing them kept for an update, but wouldn't be heartbroken to see them replaced.
I actually really like the Nemo addition to the seas but I'd like to see more done with the rest of the pavillion. The ride through attraction is just a small portion of what they can do with the aquariums and space they have. There's enough room to bring back the educational aspect while still having the ride.
Test Track needs updating. I'm sure the testing procedures have changed over the years and more could be done with it.
JII needs a re-do. I think it would be asking a lot for an exact replica of the original, but they could do a similar version, more Figment and more Dreamfinder and less Eric Idle.
Soarin needs a new film but overall I think The Land pavillion is pretty top notch right now.

Hollywood Studios is still a park I really enjoy, but it needs help. What you have here is a good start, there is too much here that needs updating or to be replaced completely. Don't forget Sounds Dangerous, the Art of Animation is a shell of its former self, and American Idol was almost half empty when we were there at New Years! I really hope that the next major expansion/reworking is done at DHS.
At least with Epcot you have lots to see in WS and FW even if a few attractions aren't really worth it, and AK may not have as many attractions, but what it does have is (mostly) worth seeing.

I pick Animal Kingdom. They've done a beautiful job with the park; the work they put into keeping each country in theme is amazing and I love the music but I think they need more dining opportunities and more attractions. My biggest complaint, however, is that they need more places to go to be out of the heat in the summer months. It is, in my opinion, the worst park to be in when extreme weather hits, be it the heat or the rain. I love this park, would love to see more done with it.
I always feel like it is 10 degrees hotter in DAK than it is in the other parks lol
but I think that if they added 3 new lands to DAK it would be amazing
Australia
-Outback Safari with Kangaroos, Koalas, Dingos, and Wallabies
-A attraction themed to the Rescuers Down Under
Beastly Kingdom
-A Dragon Themed Roller Coaster (yes i know about Dueling Dragons back story...)
-A Fantasia Dark ride, mostly focusing on the Greek Gods Scene/Chernabog
-A WOC-esque night time show
Mysterious Island (or a new name for DAK)
-20,000 Leagues under the Sea
-Journey to the Center of the Earth
They could probably combine Beastly Kingdom and Mysterious Island together
