They could tear out the PeopleMover tracks and reroute the Monorail and build something big on the current site of the Motorboat Cruise/Autopia. If they decide to take out Star Tours and build something else – they could utilize the room of the old PM storage space and create a HUGE attraction in there. Why limit the possibilities to only the track?Quote:

This isn’t true. Tomorrowland was suffering from big problems with theme and story and attendance for years before the refurbishment of 1998. As early as the 1980s, Imagineers were discussing the “Tomorrowland Problem” the same way we discuss the DCA problem today. The land was a mess – some rides were true to Walt Disney’s original intention – some were completely fantasy based – and some weren’t related to the future at all – and almost all of them were old, tired, and boring. Disney knew there was a problem here and they came up with several plans to completely change the area – some of which were even created by Eisner himself.Quote:

Let me just be blunt here: if you really think Tomorrowland is broken - just stay out of that area. Let Disney know that you think the rides in that area are uninteresting and boring by staying out of that area and clogging the walkways on the Westside – much like what happened in the early 1990s. That will encourage change – and also hopefully allow me to find a seat at Redd Rockets – an almost impossible task today due to the success of this land in its present form.
Turn Innoventions into a convention center and host every well known techonology event show every month thus showing the latest and new technolgies to the audience while making money.
Wasn't trying to change your mind, hence the "in my opinion" in the beginning of my post. People also love the Terminator 3-D show, but I'm still bored by it because it boils down to watching a movie for most of the attraction. I know a movie cannot physically touch me, but when they make the movie look real action(HISTA and TTBAB) it actually interests me because it is entirely plausible that I would be interacting with the things around me. That's just me, I know others do like to sit down and passively watch something and good for them, I just like to be physically involved.Quote:

What COULD happen in 30 years. Then faking it so that we can "experience" it now. And as things change... every so often, push the envelope back even more. That's what Innoventions was supposed to be.
