My favorite post-show attraction at the time was at World of Motion. I loved seeing the concept cars and learning about the future of the automotive industry. It showed me the current technology and possible next steps for the industry, in a real and believable way. For that reason, I love the Innoventions Dream Home at Disneyland, too.

I’d like to see more post-show attractions that showcase new technology, whether it’s for home or business. Epcot needs sponsors willing to show their latest gadgets and ideas (Google’s Project Glass, anyone?) so the park can be a living World’s Fair.

I think the key to DIsney’s success has been their ability to dream up such timeless attractions (Small World, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Dumbo, Spaceship Earth, The Seas). I believe the original Imagination ride (and original ImageWorks) could have been in that category. I hope Chuck is right and they will go back to more of the “classic” Imagination concept. I believe it will outlast anything “current” they might choose instead that would likely have a much more limited lifespan, like “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.”

Many of the attractions in Epcot, like Test Track and Energy will always require updating to keep them current, but the concept of imagination and its impact on our “future world” is timeless. So I hope instead of creating a temporary hit in that space, they will opt for a timeless classic.

I also wanted to say that, while many of my childhood memories of Disney are fuzzy, the last time I was in the original ImageWorks was when I was 5, and it is my most vivid childhood memory of Disney. I can close my eyes and picture it. It was the most magical place in all the parks in my opinion. It was a place where you didn’t just get to see the magic, but you could do magical things yourself. The absolute best post show I could imagine, with memorable and interactive fun for the whole family.
