Heh, yup, sounds like board X alright.

I'll never understand why folks on those other Disney boards feel the need to be so vicious, cynical, insulting, and rude.
I really hope that they don't act that way in real life. And if they do, don't they realize that kind of behavior is offensive to people??

Anyway, I want to make myself clear here;
I think a WALL-E attraction would be cool, but I would not want it to replace Star Tours.
People can rest easy though, WDI clearly has no desire to replace Star Tours with WALL-E.

Regarding Disneyland, there are at least two locations in Tomorowland where they could easily put a WALL-E attraction without removing Star Tours.

I could most definitely support replacing Stitch's Great Mistake with Wall-E. I love Stitch enough to name my cat after him, but that attraction is. just. terrible.

Yup. Honey I Shrunk The Audience has really run its course.

Also, if replacement plans were grand enough, they also have the option of using the Innoventions space if they really wanted to.

And heck, they could even use the Pizza Port building for an attraction space.

I vote on the Star Wars side! And with Clone Wars becoming very popular, the franchise is reaching a new audience again. Now replacing Stitch I could see... :D:
