Note: This is not a attraction-bashing thread. I love each of the attractions mentioned below.
In a another thread about least favorite attractions, someone listed Peter Pan's Flight as their least favorite citing the rather ordinary special effects (tin foil in volcano) as the reason.
Now, I love that ride, probably because it's one of the originals and I remember it from when I was a kid. But I have to agree, it doesn't appear as though it has been updated special effect-wise since it opened 30 years ago.
So, here's my question: Why doesn't Disney periodcally update the special effects in its attrations. I'm not talking about a total rehab or refurb. Just spot replacement. For example, why not replace one of the crocodiles in the Jungle Cruise with a croc that does a little more than just pop out of the water; update the sound system in Pirates in the battle scene; throw in some new props in Snow White;
You get the idea. It seems like they ought to be able to develop a volcano that actually looks like a volcano and pop it into Peter Pan over night.
