What I"m thinking regarding "message threads" is much like imdb. At the bottom of each movie page there's a mini-message board. It features the top few threads on the topic. If you want older threads, you click a link to see the full message board. It doesn't have to be as full featured as a board like this - it could be just for notes and corrections, for perusal by the Attraction Administrator.

Ok, so if I get this right, you mean that mousepod would have a seperate site with his historical attraction info? The basic credits for an attraction really wouldn't take up a huge amount of space (at least, the classic ones - I'm sure we can get much more info on who did what for the newer attractions). But I can see the need to link to more detailed info. Don't know where the info should be hosted, but I'm definitely thinking imdb style.
I'm thinking - list of Imagineers involved and a one-liner of what they contributed, ie, Rolly Crump - Conceptual Artwork. "Rolly Crump" would be a link to the Rolly Crump page, listing all the stuff he did for Disney with links to their pages, as well as photos and a bio. "Conceptual Artwork" would link you to pictures of the artwork plus perhaps a pic of him working on it. A short blurb (or perhaps a long one) could talk about his contributions to the Mansion project, where you can see his influence in the attraction, what wasn't included and why. If we have dates and such, include them.

(do you plan to include the attraction backstories?)

I would. They can get quite detailed, so definitely a link, with perhaps a one-liner visible on the page. I'm thinking of Lost Boy's Jungle Cruise info from a while ago...whew, quite a read!

Main photo that is a link to more photos

Cool. That's another thing that would need to be maintained. Updates when the attraction is changed (happens more often than one might think), archives for older pictures chronicling changes. Users could supply pics of other angles etc, but that'd have to be watched, since we don't want ridiculous amounts of pics for users to wade through.
This is something I hadn't thought of. Cool concept. This, I woudn't mind opening up for user interface, ala hiddenmickeys.org. We could even have a rating system for it like hiddenmickeys kinda does with it's "Confirmed" set-up. If a suggestion sucks, perhaps enough bad ratings could make it disappear?

Special experiences - Potc ride with 20 people in floral prints...

A special trip report section would be fun, with it's own pics section perhaps. This could get quite lengthy. Do we want to concentrate on concise information or the community aspect? This is definitely more a community thing, which would be a cool thing to link to.
Definite must. I envision this near the top of the page: "Status: Open" or "Status: Under Rehab until 7/17/2005" or "Status: Closed Permanently as of 9/8/1998". This would also be a link to a calendar of future rehabs.

News - The snake is working, for the moment...

A quick, easy to update blog-style set-up so that the Attraction Admin can put up the latest news is a great idea.
I volunteer to help.
I think you could easily get one person to sign up for each attraction, and if not, well hey, we'll see how tough the workload is and perhaps we could each take on a couple of them. I say start small for beta testing (just a few attractions at first) and grow it as you learn what the heck this will entail.
