I wish they would bring back another show, one where the audience was in the middle of everything that took place. I'd like to see Star Tours revamped, HISTA replaced, bring back the Peoplemover, and move the Rocket Rods back to where they were originally. Innoventions would be removed as well for a "ride". I would get rid of ToonTown, I only go there when I have my littlest one with us. Heck bring back the sky cab ride while we are at it.

There are many places in DL that are underutilized, like the afore mentioned BBQ area and the now defunct FL theater. They can always go outside the berm, as they did for Pirates, HM, Splash and Indy. And there's no reason that everything that's there now has to stay. There's a lot of real estate tied up in the Autopia, surely an aging attraction if there ever was one. Heck, they could even make room for Edison Square off of Main Street if they wanted to.

Yah...it was my sad attempt at sarcasm. I don't think that the world is totally missing any imagination these days, but more that's it almost all completely misguided to be used for a certain corporation or message to get pushed in front of people 24-7. There's still plenty of imagination out there, it's just misguided beyond belief.

It works for Nintendo, and other companies are started to do the same. However in all cases, they have to belt something out for their hardcore fans or else it won't look good.

I remember being a kid, and having that left to my imagination was pretty cool. I think Toontown is a huge parcel of real estate that could be a great extension to Fantasyland. There are so many DISNEY (and I do mean DISNEY) movies and animated features that could be worked into that area with some grand attractions. Toontown doesn't do it for me as is.

Adding attractions involves a huge infusion of capital. From a business perspective, what is Disney's incentive? Thanks to the "unlimited passport" model of admission, where you pay one price for your whole day, Disney does not have an incentive to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars on adding to a theme park that is already packed with guests, especially if they keep coming with ever-rising ticket prices. Disney gets more return by opening up new theme parks, where it can charge a whole seperate gate admission price, especially if that price is the same as the park that it "built out". Yes, without new things, the park will eventually grow stale. But Disney can offer new shows and slowly replace existing attractions using existing infrastructure. This is the trade-off we made as guests when we embraced the pay-one-price model.
