Sum of all Thrills wasn’t a failed attempt by any means.

And because copy-pasting quotes from other threads isn't cooperating:
@marni1971
Pardon the crudeness - I`ve been having new PC migration issues but here`s a size comparison someone asked about. Not taking into account structural issues like support beams and the like.

And if needed, I'm sure they could eat up Merchant of Venus and Auntie Gravity's. Actually, isn't Merchant still closed?
Editing this: Yep, checked my May pictures and Merchant is closed. I remember taking pictures of the signage since I assumed it won't be returning. "Closed" sign on the doors and glass was blacked out. Almost safe to assume some level of construction is happening inside?

Nor do any of the non-classic rides at this point. Yeah, you've still got Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter, the Carousel, and the PeopleMover, but there's definitely a virtual reality/digital future bent with the what we're seeing now, including Tron, the currently shelved updates to the Speedway, the rumored Wreck-It Ralph attraction, and, to an extent, Space Ranger Spin. They may even intend to lean that direction with their updated final scene in the Carousel, if it ever happens.

Huh. I always thought that Buzz replaced Adventures Thru Inner Space at DL given the same ride system (much like Buzz at MK replaced If You Had Wings). But I see that Star Tours went in that spot and Buzz replaced the the CircleVision theater as mentioned.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
According to Andyman, retail was told that space is no longer theirs. It’s been completely removed from the app and website, unlike the other still-not-reopened retail spaces. And they blacked out the windows so you can’t see inside.So make of that what you will.

I was hoping for a DVC Riviera room walkthrough.

I was told they plan was to exit through Merchant of Venus and that’s why it’s still closed. Wonder how true that is?

IIRC, the two theaters for SGE had different exits, right? Didn't one empty into Merchant of Venus already (and the other into Star Traders)?

And if I'm not mistaken, wasn't it the same for Alien Encounter too?

It's a better fit than Monsters Inc. at least. I don't have a problem with Tomorrowland becoming more sci-fi and less about the literal future or strictly outer space. Provides for a lot more flexibility and would seemingly be more sustainable.

Sci-fi Fantasyland always seemed to like a reasonable execution for TL. This was even more so when FW existed as a place to showcase a more realistic/aspirational future (though that distinction between the lands is blurred now). I'm not really bothered by any particular Sci-Fi elements like WIR or Monsters Inc (or Tron) - the Speedway as exists is a much more glaring issue in terms of the theme to me.

The fact they haven't just slapped a uber cheap Cars overlay onto the Speedway is borderline amazing given current management. I mean all they have to do is replace the ride vehicles and add some characters on the signs.

I agree with this. I would much rather see Wall-E if you must have an IP to attach a new attraction to. But if we're talking about Tomorrowland as exploration and technology, Ralph is a better fit that most.
Something like Atlantis or Treasure Planet might work in a more Disneyland or Paris setting, but both of those were floppity flop flop flops, I think.

Listen, if it’s based on the first one, I’m good. The arcade aesthetic works somewhat decently with Tron being nearby.
If it’s based on the second one, we’re all doomed.

A WIR attraction would have fit well where Buzz is. A blaster ride is ideal for a video game themed IP. But I can understand how WIR simulator or VR attraction also lends itself to an area with fairly limited space. I hope this one happens.

There is no fit in Tomorrowland anymore. If it has a hint of sci-fi/technology, it goes.

Pretty sure the most recent Speedway plans were not for Cars but rather Tron, to extend the aesthetic further into the land and give the younger audience a Tron option as well.
