Which land do you think needs most help in new advancements?

I personally have say Tomorrowland could use the most work because for one they have room to make adjustments and two its pretty worn down. The PeopleMover is gone, so is Captain EO, Carousel, and Star Tours is just getting old!!! Though Space Mountain has opened as well as Buzz Lightyear but in order to top it all off they could redo Star Tours, bring in a new PeopleMover, also update Honey, I shrunk the Audience and get ride of Innoventions and make a new Carousel!! :D :D :D

I agree with all your suggestions. I also think they should stop basing their attractions off of cartoony films, including pixar. I want to see real futuristic stuff. Star Tours fits, Buzz doesn't quite fit. I do love Buzz though, it's fun. I haven't been on Men in Black at USF but I think it would fit better: http://www.universalorlando.com/usf_attr_mib.html

There's so much cool technology out there now. The need to remake Circlevision 360 into Spherevision. With LED screens, projectors aren't needed. They could make full sphere, with transparent ground and play a movie with that. Generate the whole thing in 3D and there's no need to film everything with multiple cameras. Though, people would have to sit down for this. If Circlevision 360 played with people's equilibrium image what your full surroundings would do!

I think Critter Country needs more to it BUT Tomorrowland needs the most updating! :ariel:

Critter Country was just fine until they replaced my beloved Country Bear Jamboree with that subpar dark ride.

On the topic of the Bears, my fiancee pointed something out to me while we were down there... they should bring back the Country Bears, to the Grizzly Peak Recreation Area in DCA! The place is filled with bears already!

Yeah I don't like the version of Pooh Disneyland has. It doesn't attract any attention.

Was the Country Bears popular before they removed it? I've never seen it here.

Oh and Adventureland could use some updating of the walkways. It's crazy to try and go there.

I would love to see the return of CBJ, even if it was in DCA.

In addition to the walkways in Adventureland they should work on the former fastpass area at Star Tours. Ever notive how it always gets crowded there because of strollers and people debating whether or not to get on Star Tours? It is a major bottle neck.

Back onto DCA, I think they should work on a few more details in the park. It feels unfinished to me, with all of the open space on the Blvd. The best example in DCA of detail IS the Grizzly Peak Area, it has a better feel to it than the other lands. They also need to enclose the Mulholland Madness, what is the point of having all of those turns if you can see them all.

I'm sure they will come up with better detail in the future.

Toontown needs some serious upkeep. Half the gags don't seem to work and over the years they have taken all the fun stuff out of the houses. E.g. Donalds foghorn, ball pits, jolley trolley.

I feel the same way. the facades that are supposed to look like San Fransisco houses always creeps me out. they are all closed up, windows drawn, one dementional, and no music or sounds. Not at all as detailed as mainstreet.

Depends...

Tomorrowland will always need updating because tomorrow changes so much. It would be crazy, but awesome if they could somehow fit Mission: Space into Tomorrowland. Won't happen, though.

Adventureland has been crippled with pedestrian traffic since Indy opened. As much as I am a Fastpass advocate, Indy may need FP removed to help out traffic flow. Ultimately, though, the three-way intersection of Frontierland, New Orleans Square, and Adventureland needs to be addressed, especially with Pirates regularly overflowing its queue space like it did this summer.

Critter Country could use something, but traffic clogs by Splash, so I'm not sure if an addition here may not be such a good thing.

As for DCA, the San Francisco section is clearly the area that needs fixing. For everything that has gone on in Frisco over the years, a row of facades doesn't do it justice. Also, Pacific Wharf could definitely use an attraction to draw people over to that section.

Never busy

CBJ was never busy in the 10 years that I went to Disneyland before they tore it down

I would love to see some techno updates to Snow White and Pinocchio to make them as popular and as unique as Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. I would also like to see a Beauty and the Beast dark ride added where the Village Haus is and move that restaurant into the old Skyway building (it would have to be expanded, of course) up behind and to the west of Casy Jr. What a view of Fantasyland you would have while eating there!!!!!!!!

Agree with all said above! :nemo: I think Roy Disney was most upset about Tomorrowland, and I was too. My most recent visit to DL had me wondering, "Just where is this place heading? And what are we doing in this handbasket?" :evil:

I think the overall idea of California Adventure is a remaining issue. I think it ought to be expanded Epcot-style, into American Adventure, with areas representing the rest of the country, not just the west coast.

Now that would be a true vacation destination! :goofy_bounce:

I defintley think Toontown needs something new. I think that they should put Jamboree in DCA!! It needs something like that! Either that, or they put an America Sings. I never saw it, and want to see it very badly!

AMEN TO THAT!!! I think Disney should really take it under consideration

I agree that Tomorrowland needs the most work. I think it would be interesting to bring CoP back from Florida (updated, of course) in place of Innoventions. A whole generation of Californians have never seen this classic attraction and it would be new to them, and it appears that the folks at WDW are trying to kill it slowly anyway.

It's a tie between Critter Country and Tomorrowland. All the worn down, non-future looking things... why is Autopia there anyways? Now if they were electric cars, that would work better. Critter country on the other hand... wow! I went this week and splash mountain was undergoing refurbishments, the only thing over there was Winnie the pooh! Now why would I walk up hill, and half a mile to just ride the Winnie the Pooh ride? there needs to be more additions back there, or at least find a way to connect it to the other side of the Rivers of Adventure.
