this is why I dislike Rocket Reds the most
if we'd gotten Alien Encounter at least we would've gotten some nifty effects added and the theators and everything would've been kept intact"We all have sparks, imagination! it's how our minds... create creations!"

The theaters are gone...One is now the Main Dining room... The other was where the serving/kitchen area is... The restaurant was going to be much more detailed with vintage TLand vehicles and pieces around it including the front car of the old monorail. The large circular ring over the dining area symbolicly represents the circular room that once existed in that spot.

Disneyland doesn't need "attractions" that suck money from the budget, need redone every 5-10 years, and don't add any real capacity because hardly anyone visits them.
Too much has been done to try to "reuse" old facilities in Tomorrowland... It is time for bull dozers to come in and make way for new construction rather than continuing to try to reuse existing facilities.

and yes if they needed to they could have gutted teh building and tried for something else, Teleportation is still an interesting theme even if it wasn't executed right
my main dissapointment is that they literaly gutted an attraction and replaced it witha resturant (of all the talk of Pressler doing this Rocket Reds shows it litteraly)
Disney should've just left the Lunching Pad open, of course it's now empty after Radio Disney flopped"We all have sparks, imagination! it's how our minds... create creations!"

Originally posted by JspiderI heard that AE's problems were mostly in the fact that it scared young children and got people complaining about it
They sit you in this seat... Then lock you in with an over the shoulder restraint. Then the show starts... The lights go out. The monster is loose.... Loud sound effects... vibro noise effects like those that made it feel like you are getting your hair cut in Mr. Lincoln. restraint bounces down against your shoulders, repeatedly squishing you into the chair... Lights come back on and it's over.
Scary for kids, uncomfortable for people that dislike the dark, uncomfortable for people that don't like being trapped in a seat.... Just "engh, I guess it is okay" for most of the rest.
The problem with Disneyland remains the lack of walkway space to move everyone around. Just adding more rides won't increase the park's capacity.
Well, the problem is made worse by the lack of attractions in Tomorrowland right now. Hopefully that can be corrected with Buzz, Space, and subs. If those 3 attractions are hits, then another show for Red Rockets would not help long term....
I'm still holding out hope that the law suit will be setteld and we'll get Mission:Space in place of Innoventions.

I dunno, I've heard lots of teens liked the ride, and several adults also enjoyed it
I think it depends on your taste
I've heard stitch is far less successfull as it removes more of the audience from liking it rather then windening the ride's appeal
anywho I do think that actualy Disneylands capacity could be raised up a bit higher then what it is now, the crowding tends to happen more around the Rivers of America then in Tomorrowland (probably because of that dead end they have in Critter Country)
I think if the new attractions are hits we will see maybe the peoplemover return
I do doubt the return of Rocket Reds as an attraction but it WOULD be nice, I also understand that restruant dooesn't have bathroom facilities, this is were I think it would've been wiser to use the Starcade as resturant space
Rocket Reds would be a bit redeamable if they added more atmospheric touches or maybe some animatronic entertainment"We all have sparks, imagination! it's how our minds... create creations!"

Mission Space would't be going into DL... Now enough room for 4 centrifuges and a huge empty queue.. (thanks to the efficient ride system and billions of warnings..) I would love to see the ride built.. mabey DCA.... Their is a Nasa Training center/Research center there right?? It would work.... (just jazz up the ride to be unique to california... like hmm.... a lift off and landing training cenario rather than a practice trip to mars....

you have to remeber that Innoventions is about the same size as Space Mountain in DLR
I really dislike the idea of Mission Space in DCA, it just wouldn't fit in thematicaly if you ask me. yes I've heard the arguement that space is connected with california but lets face it everyone thinks of the shuttles as liftoff and that's something that happens in florida not california
if they were going to put mission space in DCA retheme it to look totaly different and be about Spaceship 1 or something"We all have sparks, imagination! it's how our minds... create creations!"

Reason for the Season? Tilt of the planet's axis. Oh, you meant the holiday season? That's easy - Feast of Saturnalia. Disagree? That's nice.

THey should put red rockets in the INNOVENTIONS building, and have some ride vehicles to boot. Have them revolving around, like have a couple of skyway buckets going back and forth, have the old Rocket Jets going around each table, have part of an old monorail go by simuntaneously. And for the water area outside of the building (directly underneath the INNOVENTIONS clock/sign), have it go inside: 8 yellow submarines that you can control.

There is still a strong possibility of the ride coming to Tomorrowland if the law suit is settled in Disney's favor.
And, yes, that would replace Innoventions... Big whoop. The building housed 2 huge budget AA shows, neither of which lasted 15 years (CoP = 6 years (67-73) and America Sings = 14 (74-88) ). Disney is sick of redoing Tomorrowland every 10-15 years. Mission:Space is something that could be popular for many decades.

AE wasn't such a bad attraction. Especially in comparison to, say, the Time Keeper. Oof. I think the main problem was the X-S Tech angle. But it appeals to the same demographic as ToT, and that helps balance out the ride mix a bit.'
Mission:Space, on the other hand, isn't just unfortunate because it replaced one of the best Disney attractions ever. I had been to WDW January before the ride opened, and had an AP so I could return later in the year, and when I found out M:S would be opening later in the year, that confirmed that I'd be coming back. Next trip out there, I was at the Swan the first half of the trip so I could spend more time at Epcot, and get in a lot of time on M:S. The first day of my trip, I hurried over to get my FastPass, figuring it would be one of many that trip. Later, I returned and rode... and was bored to tears. The "interactivity" was a let-down. The ride itself wasn't more exciting than the old Gravitrons at a carnival. So, I guess right now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a lengthy lawsuit.See, George Lucas? I'm not the only one!

Originally posted by Cousin OrvilleThe Shuttle was designed in California and it lands at Edwards. KSC is the prep area for them, not the manufacturing center. True, we see it launch from there. DCA needs something else and why not use Condor Flats?
I would like a tribute to Spaceship one in Condor Flats though
I do think Condor flats could've been part of many things, but it's an area that's mostly sealed off and boxed in
one of the big problems with DCA is the way it's land is layed you have plenty of room for adding completly new land but it'll be awkward if you ever want to expand an existing land"We all have sparks, imagination! it's how our minds... create creations!"

1) GRR/CF, though it only has two rides, is one of the best areas of the park, largely because of the success of the theming. But it only really has room for two rides. Shoving more in would harm one of the virtues of the area.
2) M:S is essentially more show than ride. HPB has one E ticket and is hoping to fool us into thinking Monsters will be a decent C. PP has one E ticket. Everything else in the park are cheap carnival rides, plus shows and exhibits. The ride mix needs dark e tickets, more water rides, maybe something like Knott's old Soap Box Racers. And, for that matter, the ride mix needs to include rides along the perimeter of the park that can double as a berm.
3) It's a clone. And, unlike something like Hunny Hunt which could be used to make all manner of other rides that only share some technology, there are very limited applications for M:S. You can gussy it up all you want, make it more California, but it will be pretty obviously an M:S clone. And what we desperately need are some unique signature attractions that the OTHER parks will want to clone for a change.See, George Lucas? I'm not the only one! [<-- i.e. this is not my site]
