I know you can't do that with Thunder the way it's laid out now but a "Star Tours" through the wild west would be awesome. You could "board" a virtual stage coach and each ride be more exciting than the last-over hills, mountains and cliffs-being chased by bandits, riding down a river on a raft. Just an idea but I love it when each ride (Tower of Terror, Star Tours) is different.
So a BTMR simulator? Huh, that could be a really cool idea!! I feel like that's been done before on things like random video games, but never been put to an actual large theme park ride and would be fun

None because MadEye is just messing with you. I hope.
It looks like, from what I've seen from the train, that a lot of track work is being done. Wonder if they're gutting the whole thing?

Yeah, I figured as much
Wow, part of me hope they don't do that. As much as this ride needs a serious refurb, I love it and don't want it totally remodeled...

No, I mean just gutting it and laying a brand new track but keeping the same layout. It needs it.

Oh, that's probably also a great idea. This poor ride really just needs an all-around refurb.

Sometimes the back and forth with the lines can be uncomfortable when you're always locking eyes with the same people. It feels a little tedious. Love the ride though!

That's what I heard from the CM on the riverboat ~ he mentioned that it was being completely re-done.

We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

What is the latest reports on this? I've been hearing it should reopen around Memorial Day. Seems like a very extensive overhaul they are doing.

AHHHHHHH! The pictures are cool, but I hate seeing the construction being done on the rides. It ruins the fantasy for me.
