Hey, I'll make something up for $25.00. Chimichangacorndog! There. That one was for free.

(What are we talking about?)

I want an Up themed ride - some kind of a Star Tours/Soarin/Tower of Terror hybrid.

HMM... DCA pretty much being Pixarland at this point anyway... they could always retheme the Jumpin' Jellyfish ride

Since it is already using suspended ride vehicles I vote for converting Peter Pan to an Up dark ride.

(actually, I don't vote for that, I just like to imagine the howls of outrage if Disneyland actually did it.)

The April Fools Overlay

Alex: I like the idea... not as an overlay, but perhaps as a new installation. After all, DCA doesn't have a Peter Pan, and guests freaking love it.

I'm somewhat strongly of the opinion that if Peter Pan had never been built and were opened as a completely new ride that it wouldn't be any better liked than Winnie the Pooh in Adventureland. Actually, I think that's true of all the Fantasyland dark rides.

I missed it in 2000 but I did catch it in 2001. Made me cry (because we still didn't have it at all then)

I think technology is better appreciated in the context of what was available when it was built. Plus the whole nostalgia thing. Pooh is barren, thematically. If you really look around at the amount of barely-filled space and compare that with the level of detail available in the older dark rides, Pooh comes off weak. IMHO.

Yeah, I'd have to disagree, speaking just for myself. I love Monsters, Inc., built afterwards in typical dark ride style.

So it's not the form or the limitations of it ... it's the limitations on creativity, storytelling, and implementation. Pooh sucks.

Oh, and since Peter Pan is likely the most popular attraction in Disneyland, I think it would be a success if built tomorrow.
