some of the other boards suggested they put tink up in the old skyway building for a meet and greet. that way, its right next to PPFQuote:

There are a lot of gender neutral Disney properties I feel that can work. Aladdin sticks out for me. Whatever they replace it with though will probably only be a meet and greet anyways though so it is not too exciting for me. I agree with Dragonrider also that they should add to Adventureland. Adventureland has not had anything new in forever.
Same here. Either bump them all in with the princesses or scrap the whole 'girls-only' area altogether.Quote:

I still think a Robin Hood dark ride would have worked in Fantasyland and would still be relevant if it were open. I think the speculation that families will give up a day at Disney for HP is right on the money. But I think it will have more of an affect on AK or Epcot then MK. I think when most people say I'm gong to DisneyWorld, they mean MK and not the resort as a whole.
I wish they could make something that WASNT movie related.
I with you. I want an attraction so good that they can base a movie on IT, not the other way around. Either that or stick with the Fantasy Land Forest theme and put in a Villains dark ride/coaster/mountain/dark forest area; gender neutral, thrill ride and AWESOME!!!Quote:

Good point on the "brand new icon." Still, the Villains Mountain relies on existing tradition and success but can be new. It just has to be done on the level of the haunted mansion; immersive from first sight (even before you even get to the queue). It also must be a great attraction/mountain in the spirit of all of the other mountains, including Everest (except for not properly designing the ride's finale).Quote:
