OK, so I've often tried to think of something they could put in the Festival area that would be relevant and modern and fit thematically with Frontierland. I always thought that the Feast of Fools didn't work thematically where it was even though it was an awesome show. Everything I thought of was something that has been done or had some politically correct problems. Then it hit me, put in a Zorro Stunt show. Redo the whole theater to be like the stage for the show Zorro and there would be sword fighting and cannons and guns. Maybe if they designed the theater right they could even have them racing in on horses and things like that. Thanks to the newer Zorro movies the story is still known by kids and adults alike and it dodges the PC bullet that is any depiction of the old west. Nothing offensive for anybody. Even if kids didn't know the story I bet they would love the sword fights and everything. They could even do a progression story like the Laughing Stock Co. does. Like, the morning show is meeting Zorro, the afternoon is him wooing Esperanza and the final show of the day is his big face off with the governor.... something like that.
Another thought I had, Big Thunder BBQ would make a lot more sense next to BTMRR. So you could switch it with Rancho Del Zocalo and then it would flow a lot better. The menu for RDZ is also very uninspiring. You can get better Mexican food for cheaper just about anywhere in Ca, AZ, NV or NM. They could use the move as time to re-vamp the menu and get some food in there that would be worth the price. Just think of it. A beautiful Spanish style plaza which has the new and improved Restaurant that has benches and trees in the waiting area for the theater which then goes under colonnades into the seating area with the fort look from the show.
It would be a great show with classic Disney roots that is also applicable to all ages and would be able to age without seeming dated. The story of Zorro is an American legend specific to the western frontier and it's a timeless tale of adventure. It would fit with the land and best of all, it has no teeny boppers, nothing PIXAR and no cheap movie tie-ins. However Disney could make a line of extremely cool merchandise to go along with it.
So, I put it out to you Mice Chatters: Good Idea? Bad Idea? Can anyone think of anything I miss. What does everybody think of it as an concept?

) it could do good in DCA too
If it came down to show vs redevelopment I would chose redevelopment. I would LOVE to see a new Cascade Peak with a Geyser Mine Shaft attraction, a Carlsbad Caverns inspired tunnel for the Steam Trains, a boat flume based on WRE and a reduced Mine Train for families with small children. Someone else even mentioned a bathtub/geyser type attraction similar to teacups that sounded like a LOT of fun.
