Actually everything there needs to be update but Innoventions must go. I also believe the Starcade as well as the Gift shop below it and a new atrraction put in. I'm up for puting in a Mos Eisley Cantina Restraunt in that corner with an Animatronic Band and aliens scattered through out the restraunt.
Get rid of Red Rockets and bring back Mission to Mars updated to be like Mission:Space at WDW but with a Mars Theme. Alien Encounter (The Original can go into the old Innoventions building. Just make it a Stationary building or tear it down and put in a new building.
I would love to see the peoplemover back in action and they could put Stitch in various locations through out the ride (The slow spots where there is nothing to look at) and have Stitch trying to derail or destroy the peoplemover.

Um, Mission: SPACE does have a Mars theme... it's where you and your 'team' uh, 'land' your craft (you guys know that the crash WASN'T my fault right, I always fulfilled my assignment, it's someone elses fault, honest! -- ).

But yeah, Mission: SPACE needs to be brought back to our TL. Not sure we need the same ride capacity, because you have such a minimal wait at Epcot with the current ride capacity there.

HISTA I have never liked this one the space needs to be used as a ride not a movie. Most 3D movies are not something you go on every time there are some ( It's tough to be a bug, I love the screaming) but for the most part if you'v seen it once thats enough.

Definately "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience". I really didn't like this one the first time I saw it. The other attractions in Tomorrowland may need some improvement, but it can do without HISTA.

Oh yeah first post on the board, glad to be here.

I agree, but The Starcade makes truck loads of money. So it's not going anywhere.

Oy. I like Mission Space but do we need another cloned ride in Anaheim? What with HISTA, Innoventions, Buzz and Space Mountain all being clones themselves. We need something original.

Innoventions was unbelievably boring, and it gave me a splitted head ache. I did like the Tom Morrow animatronic, but that was it.

I like HISTA, its a great show, but out of place in Tomorrowland. Not to mention horrible themeing in the qeue and exterior. It does not feel like you are at an Institute at all unlike the WDW version.

The Starcade used to be cool, I loved going in there when it had two stories to it. Now it just comes off as some small, cheap arcade.

Add some more games, clean it up, maybe add some cool future-esque scenery and it will be popular again.

HISTA needs to go, but Innoventions isn't far behind.

Starcade...yes it makes $$$$ so it wont be going anywhere soon... but come on, who needs another arcade...go to any mall anywhere...IMHO it's a total waste of space

(and for the record I hate Innoventions...boring, but I know a lot of people that truely enjoy it...but I would rather see starcade go first)

Does Starcade really make money? I almost never see more than five people in there at a time.

And of course, part of the issue with Starcade is that it doesn't need all that space for what it offers, either. Put a couple games near the exit for Space Mountain, put a couple more in the back patio of Pizza Port... That area's bigger than I realized. But it seems like such a big space for what it is. Same for Innoventions. And autopia, for that matter... you've got ALL that real estate, and yet how many people can you actually get to spend time there? Think of how much better the east side would be doing if you had another attraction in Starcade and Innoventions, and took out half of the Autopia's land to put in a new attraction...

Okay, so while at the park yesterday, I was on HISTA and it came to me. Get rid of HISTA and expand the Space mountain track into that area. That space is big enough to extend Space another minute. Of course this will never happen since Space has just been re-done, but a guy can dream can't he?

I voted for HISTA - Just an idea or two below.

What if the TLT stage was moved atop of HISTA. The second level of the Starcade used for SM queue. There is more than double the space for a dance floor and stage up there, the escalators in the starcade could be used for SM, and the walking ramps could be used for Redds customers to eat up by the stage. I've heard mention of lasers for the fireworks from Tomorrowland. Those could tie into a good new band up there not to mention the big spot lights.

By moving the stage up top there you're not drowning out SM with another attraction in front of it. There are how many 3D shows in DCA? Tomorrowland doesn't need one. Furthermore, below the stage at TLT is basement, dressing rooms, elevator controls and stuch for the stage. Remodel that to a queue for PM 2.0

Granted the second floor of the Starcade could be used as a loading station for the PM, however in doing the long path down from the entrance of Tomorrowland to the PM (existing) station wouldn't be necessary. The Tomorrowland hub in essance would be gone and a huge open space would be left. An empty space that very little could fill it due to space constraints for a queue. I personally don't want an unabstructed view of Innoventions.

Theoretically, if you moved the PM Station to the starcade, you could build a gantry and bridge from Innoventions over to the existing platform and place the rockets again atop of the platform. Place the queue in front of Innoventions.

Convert HISTA into an exclusive restaurant like Buyou but space themed..or a NOS'esk space port city with shops and something similar to what was the Lunching Pad before it became Disneyradio. Rid of the StarTours shop.

Whatever the case, the PM platform needs to stay with some sort of funtion. Even possibly reshaped. I wouldn't be opposed for walkways over head from the Starcade area to the PM Platform.
