    Guys, Tron didn't set the earth on fire. No other way to put it and this is coming from one of the original movies biggest fans. It did fine... But I don't see it coming to the parks unless someone does a heck of a job kickstarting a new franchise.

    I would prefer that they "fix" Hollywood Studios & Epcot first before taking apart Tomorrowland!!!

    I say - keep the speedway, but make the cars solar powered or something environmentally friendly.

    And no one better touch MY people mover!!!!

    I agree! The removal of the TTA might cause me to give up my disney obsession. I would really rather not think about that....

    The uber success of the Marvel Cinemtaic Universe movies has placed some serious unreasonable expectations for any Disney live action movies.

    If live action doesn't gross $1 billion, it's not seen as a success in today's environment.

    While I agree that the speedway doesn't fit, my kids love it and want to go on it more than once, every time. They are now 4 and 7, but have no gotten tired of it yet.

    And I am in the "touch my peoplemover and you die" crowd.

    I have no problems with Tomorrowland staying the way it is for the time being if it means they will fix future world in Epcot. It makes me sad to see all the closed up and wasted space over there.

    I agree - touch peoplemover & a revolt will ensue. I think other areas specifically EPCOT - Future World is in dire need of an update yesterday so basically now not 2020.

    Initial buzz seems positive about the movie. Rotten Tomatoes rates it a "fresh" so far (76%) So maybe...just maybe it will be a hit...

    I worry that a redo of Tomorrowland would spell the end of CoP. It is a classic, but if the decision makers look at it on paper, it is not the most popular.

    I hope I am wrong.

    I like CoP as well, but come on, Walt is dead. These parks need new attractions!

    I seriously doubt they would do away with COP. It is a direct link to Walt Disney, and those are being played up big time lately.

    Carousel of Progress has been moved before. Even if it doesn't stay in Tomorrowland, it can easily be preserved in another location.

    Reading through these posts I had a thought, why not move COP to one of the now empty buildings in future world. Refurbish it and do a whole tribute to Walt Disney before the show. This should satisfy the old timers (like me) at the same time opening up room in Tomorrowland for expansion. Any takers?

    If you were to take it to another park, I would think that you could tie it in to "One Man's Dream" in DHS and wrap it up as a tribute to Walt Disney's contributions to the 1964 World's Fair. I don't think it would really fit too well in EPCOT Future World.

    The ride Horizons followed the theme and family line of COP into the future. Its a shame they decided it was with sparing for an attraction that didn't turn out to be as big as they expected.



    I know... Horizons is never coming back. Someday I'll get over it.

    My thoughts:

    No way should they remove the TTA. Update it, sure, but that is one classic not to be messed with otherwise.

    While it personally wouldn't bother me that much if they got rid of the Speedway, I highly doubt that they would do away with it entirely, since that is one attraction that is at all of the Disney parks around the world, in one form or another.

    IMO, Carousel of Progress could be pretty awesome again if it had a major overhaul.

    I think there is a wealth of opportunity for refurbishment in the other buildings in Tomorrowland, the ones that Buzz, Stitch, Laugh Floor occupy, as well as the space where they have the dance party. Lots could be done in terms of new rides and attractions whether they incorporate parts of the new movie or not.

    Gotta say, I really enjoy the Laugh Floor. I like the idea and the implementation. I've done that attraction a ton of times, and it always makes me laugh.

    While Stitch (the character) is one of my favorites, and I have long been a defender of Stitch's Great Escape, I would be fine with them taking that space and the Buzz Lightyear attraction (which is tired and always has issues) and repurposing them.

    The last time we were at WDW, my son (17 yrs old) rode on the Speedway and broke it. His car jumped the rail, and he was driving in-between two tracks for 75% of the ride. Towards the end he managed to get it back onto the rail....on the other track! I didn't know any of that had happened during the ride, as I was ahead of him about two cars. But I knew he had started directly behind me. I was pretty surprised to see him come in at the finish on the adjacent track.

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    I haven't seen Tomorrowland (but I want to). I am sad that Tron 3 was cancelled. I liked Legacy. But, then again, I also liked John Carter.

    I will admit that I have not yet seen The Lone Ranger.
