No. I don't personally enjoy ToonTown, but I have a child who does. And more importantly, there is no other place in DL where little kids can go and sort of just run around like manaics for awhile. If you're one of those people who hates kids at the park because they're rambunctious, but you also hate strollers because they get in your way, then be grateful for the energy kids expend in ToonTown before they go back out into the rest of the park.
ToonTown needs a lot of work. But it is far to detailed to simply get rid of. They just need to plop a ride in the area where the treehouse and ball pit use to be. That would make it worth it to walk all the way to the back of the park again. And I agree that they need some shade back there. Time to build the roof that was always planned for that area (It was supposed to have a constant rising and setting sun theme.
Broken but fixable - just like Tomorrowland.
Definitely don't destroy my Toontown! I loved the warped, inflated, toony architecture! However, I wouldn't mind if they ripped out all the half-shuddered McDonald's Playland junk on the west side of it and put in more real attractions.

Personally I'm not very big on Toontown at all... it feels too much like something you'd see in a Six Flags theme park. Not very Disney-ish feeling for some reason even though it's got Mickey and Co.'s houses. My personal wish would be that they retheme Toontown and combine it with Small World, Matterhorn, the Sub Lagoon, and perhaps Autopia into a brand new Land. Maybe some kind of Earthland or something that incorporates different places on Earth. They've got Small World which celebrates people from all over the world, they've got the Matterhorn which is a landmark in Switzerland, there's the subs which take place in the Earth's ocean, and then Autopia can be rethemed into driving somewhere specific on Earth (London, New York, etc). They could then incorporate similar elements to new attractions that would open up in Toontown and in that vicinity. Maybe like an area that could be Egyptian themed and then an area that can be based on the Rain Forest or something. The possibilities are endless.
I say keep it. I also may not go back there to much myself but that land was made for the little kids more then us same with Bugs Land. I agree they need to update some stuff in there. But it dosen't need to go.
Re: Destroy Toontown? Who's with me? Yep Destroy it! Im an annual pass holder, go to the park like 4 times a month, have little nephews, and I haven't been to toontown for years now!!!boring place !
I'd like to see what it would be replaced with first.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

While I dont go to Toontown a lot, I know that kids love it.
But I dont think it would hurt to have a few better attractions, but dont get rid of it completely.
Destroy ToonTown? And replace with what, nothing? That's a stupid idea.
No way! Toon Town is excellent. It's one of my "getaway" spots, especially during Christmas. I love to just go back there and enjoy the theming and all the little hidden magic lurking around the place. It just need an update on attractions. They could stand to add something. A 3D movie would be good!
What would a child think seeing the place where their favorite characters live being torn down?
No, leave ToonTown. It is a great place to be goofy.
Hmm.. can someone say Mickey's PhilharMagic?Originally Posted by Mel-

Just because it isn't your cup of tea and you find it boring doesn't mean it should be taken away for everyone else.
There isn't much to do for real little kids other than toontown. Kids as young as 1 can enjpy it. The little houses and shops are just right. Mickey and Minnie's house are great to walk through as they are just right for little ones. They relate to the characters and can touch everything.
I say leave toontown there cause there is alot more stuff in the park for everyone else.
Definitely a runner-up for the Most Provocative MC Thread Title of 2009.
