Would you rather see?

[Figment632]

1. A fifth park be built?

2. Some extensive upgrades to Epcot.

3. A complete overhall of DHS

Which would you choose and what would you add or update if you chose choice 2 or 3
I would choose the overhall to Epcot since it's my favorite park.
First I would re open the Wonders of Life pavilion as The wonders of Space travel. It would be a tribute and look into the future of space travel and it would conect to misson space.

Next I would completly gut universe of energy and the entire concept of that ride. I would keep the theme as energy but that building is huge so I would split it into two rides. Disney doesn't have many boat rides a maybe a boat ride that looked at updated alternative energy sources. The second ride could be a Walle dark ride.

Finaly I was told onthe seven hour tour that's name eludes me that there was room for seven more countries. So I would add four to start if the countries were willing I would add Australia, Spain, Egypt maybe with a Nyle river ride, and Isreal.

 

[TikiBeckie]

I would pick a 5th park.

I would choose #2, although I wouldn't agree with some of your ideas. I like UofE the way it is, but if I were to reluctantly agree to change it (since I guess we can't keep it stuck in the 80s or 90s forever), I wouldn't want to put WallE in it. One of my beefs with WDW as a whole is the invasion of all these Pixar and modern characters in it. I would like to see WDW stay focused on the classics, not this new crap, but that's just my opinion.

I would definitely agree with reopening Wonders of Life in one form or another. And I would want to add some new countries, and maybe add a boat ride to one or two of the existing countries.

#2
at epcot reuse wonders of life pavilion(its empty anyway) and inside make imagineering world one area lets you overhear real imagineer talk about future upgrade and ideas . then a test area for rides ride and a theater to talk walt disney(like turtletalk) and a computer suggestion box for new rides and upgrades from guests and a area to see models of comming attractions

then add new pavillions to world show case
austraila would be good and iceland or brazil

 

[NiarrNDisney]

#3 DHS is in serious need for an overhaul.

Don't we basically get a Brazil pavilion during the summer at each park?

 

[Susan Savia]

Upgrades to Epcot... few more countries and more ride attractions in Future World.

 

[disney4life2008]

Knowing that a 5th gate is highly unlikely in the next 10 years. I would like to see an update of Epcot. I think there is so much that could be done to make the park more entertaining. I am sort of 50/50 with Epcot. I do not like the new Spaceship Earth (though money talks). Universe of Energy is a YAWN - it was great when the Ellen update came - but I think there may be a better way to incorportate a energetic ride. The biggest update: WORLD SHOWCASE. That is really the draw for adults- yet, something seems to be missing. What that is I do not know but I always feel a little unfulfulled there.

 

[heliumalias]

Any one know what happened to the temporary pavilion they set up in WS for the millennium celebration that had loads of other countries? It would be cool if they reopened that. WoL is a hard one to decide what they should do with it. I think they almost need to have the same theme because otherwise it might feel a little unbalanced.

I like the idea of Egypt.

Id choose a 5th park with some kind of NIGHT time special. Like only have the park open from 5pm till 2am...something like that for us night owls who dont want our nights to end!

 

[KaliSplash]

I'd have to go with more Epcot refurbs, even though there's been a good deal, lately, already.
Personally, I would love to see return of Horizons and World of Motion (without doing away with Test Track and Mission:Space), as well as reopening of Wonders of Life (something plus the return of Cranium Command)

((And yes, I do realize there's a reason these pavilions close and I accept them, just talking about what I'd prefer))

Would love to see new countries in World Showcase: Equitorial Africa, Russia, Switzerland, Spain and Israel all have been proposed in the past and would suit me fine.

Would also like to see Germany, Italy, Japan, Morroco and United Kingdom get major attractions.

That would probably hold me over for a while

 

[disneygirl76]

I would go with option 3. Although Epcot does need an upgrade in Future World, I think that DHS is kind of hodge podged put together and could use both some updating and revamping.

 

[Mori Anne]

I'd love to see a fifth park themed with Disney classics like the original figment, COP can be moved there, Horizons, Etc.... Aliens...... Anyways, that is my 2 cents.....:king::hammer:

 

[EpScott]

I would definitely choose option #2. Epcot is by far and away my favorite park, so upgrades to the World Showcase would be first on my drawing board. Australia, Sweden, and Greece would be my picks, but that Iceland idea from an earlier post sounds great too. Horizons 2.0 is a definite must for Future World. And more in the fields of technological advancements and medical breakthroughs would spruce up a Wonders of Life which has no pulse. As far as a fifth park goes----I think there is already plenty to see and do right now....I have never had any qualms with the number of activities available at the World!

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Gosh, its a tough sell bewteen Epcot and DHS. In all honesty, I think MK should get some love before the other two. We haven't had anything really significant there in ages, and It'd be nice to see some new things over there. But otherwise, I'd give Epcot some attention, then head over to DHS.

#2!


-

Heh.

 

[kstella]

I think that both Epcot and DHS could both use major updates. As much as I enjoy Ellen at UOE, it's getting stale and there does seem to be a lot of unused space at Future World. It would be nice if they came up with more stuff about the well, future.

I think the biggest reason that there aren't more countries in World Showcase is lack of sponsors and with the world wide economic situation I don't see that happening anytime soon unless it's Dubai or someplace like that.

DHS is also getting stale. The Great Movie Ride needs a major update and I'm sure the Backlot Tour could come up with a newer movie than Pearl Harbor. Also, even if it's just for show I would like to see people working in the offices that you drive through. I think that if they're going to keep introducing Pixar characters, DHS is the place for it.

 

[SirGoofy]

I would like to see WDW stay focused on the classics, not this new crap, but that's just my opinion.

While I'll agree there are too many attractions for the Pixar characters, in no way shape or form are these movies "crap." With the exception of Cars, Pixar has made some of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in the past decade.

Back to the original topic. Give me some new Epcot rides, or at least shake up the existing ones. Switch Soarin' to fit more cohesively into the land. It works well, but it could be done better. Maybe add some more projected characters into the tank in the Seas. Have Mr. Ray and the gang talk about the species in the aquarium. Knock down WoL and build something new. I've always enjoyed the idea of a weather pavilion.

 

[Katherine]

Number two for sure. A fifth park would be cool but I feel like they should really develop the parks they have before extending themselves once again.

Find something new for Wonders of Life... I feel like if they turned it into more of a like a kids science museum type exhibit with body parts and stuff so that you can see and "play" with. Like a big heart you can walk through. Some "mr skeletons" with organs inside so that you can see internal systems animated. Interactive health stations like at the Innoventions at DL. Maybe see if Disney can get some permanent Body World Exhibits. Stuff like that.

Also, Universe of Energy I feel should go with a different theme. With the recent emphasis on alternative fuels it would be interesting to see this show change slightly with more of an emphasis on "Well we have been using/are using oil which came from here (ride through dinos) but this is what the future has in store." (Do they already do this? It has been forever since I've been on that ride).

Also, maybe one or two new countries but they should really enhance that countries they already have. Add a ride to two or three and update exhibits and movies. I feel like some of the countries focus a lot on the "heritage of their nation" but not what they are today (Norway comes to mind, as does Germany) so it would be cool to see some changes (I'm not sure what I would do though so I'm not really expecting this to happen).

Just some thoughts.

 

[Sumshine 904]

I'd choose option number two, definitely!

I'd fill in all of the empty space in Spaceship Earth, near the end where you build your future. Leave UoE the way it was if given the choice, giving it a needed refurbishment (I love both Ellen and Bill Nye, tee hee). But if I HAD to change it, I'd give it a Wall-E theme.

Find WoL a nice sponsor and give it a face lift. Restore JII to its former glory, or at least bring Dreamfinder back home. Spruce up Test Track and give Soarin' a Florida movie.

HISTA - I'm not sure what I'd do with it. I'd probably give it a Flubber re-theme, because although Weebo and a photo of Professor Phillip Brainard are in the que of JII, there's no other mention of the movie in the parks. And with the Movie Set Adventure at DHS, I just think it's a bit unfair that one of my favorite movies has such little attention. But that's just my two cents.

Back on topic, I too would like to see Egypt and Spain in WS (Australia, too, but I'm hoping that'd might be in AK one day). I would also enjoy Greece and Ireland.

And yes, I'm plenty aware that all of this will probably never happen.

But I can dream, at least...
