But I would also love to see the return of the boats. please bring back the boats to take us on a journey around Discovery Island!

Phases 1 and 2 I would anxiously anticipate. There would have to be more than a run of the mill coaster to get me excited about a phase 3. Perhaps an added colaster/flume/darkride hybrid. Yeah! That would work. Fantasia theming to the journey round Discovery Island would add some needed zap to the former ride.

Constructing Narnia all at once would be fine with me. Anything is better than Disney sitting on it's butt doing nothing.

Well, this goes to show that the "put you in the movies" concept is not without it's fans. Myself - I prefer straightforward theming - unless it's an interactive 4-D film-based attraction - such as HISTA, Muppets 4-D, Mickey's PhilHarmagic or It's Tough To Be A Bug. Now, if DHS's StarTours became more like DL's, and a "put you in the movie" interactive attraction were to be added to a StarWars land - I would love that.

For me it could be as simple as once you cross a line you are in the movie. I just have to have a reason to be on set or actually in the movie...

I just want a park to stay true to it's theme! But that is me.

I go to Disney parks to be fully immersed in other worlds, not to be fully immersed in movie sets. Movie set theming is IMO, an excuse for not having more immersive theming. With movie set theming, you can show more backstage, which cuts down costs, so executives like it, but I hate it.

I agree with you. But I also love cohesive themes! I love it when it all comes together, and all the attractions add up to an awesome experience!

So if you are filming on location in Tatoonie or at an actual Space Port, that would be fine!

I am am just not sure how to make everything work correctly with the themes and stories that have been laid out. But at least right now it matches the movie studio theme (even if the hot set looks cheap)

Here is my $.02 on the current (ok I know this isn't the most current map) themeing of the park.

I would just like to see a cohesive theme for the entire park. Which I assume is what Pixar Place is kind of about. However that being said, I am very courious on how they are going to get LMA, Muppets, Streets of America, and Honey I shruk the Audience to all play together in strong theme... but who knows... the answer to that question is years away...

RideWarrior, GhostHost, Star Wars fans like things doled out in TRILOGIES.

the caoster they had planned involved a castle, a dragon, and talking giant bats

Thanks for relaying the fact that the coaster would involve interactive and dark ride elements. It would definitely be unique - and a crowd pleasing draw. Nevertheless, such a land would need much more than the few attractions that have been ballyhooed about - especially if it is to compete with the likes of Wizarding World.

I second and third that emotion, CaliforiaAdventurer.

Sounds a lot better than the fun, but underacheiving Everest. One Yeti and a nice looking exterior isn't enough to make a great ride.

It does sound like fun, but I wouldn't call EE underacheiving
