That reminds me of this old amusement park near where I was born in Pittsburgh. It's called Kennywood and they have a section called "Lost Kennywood" where they put back in a lot of rides they had removed. I think that would be such a great idea at WDW but that would never happen. :(GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Funny, but DW and I were talking about all the old attractions that we miss! WDW should consider re-creating some of them at Epcot! I bet a LOT of people would like to be shrunk into a snowflake!! And other attractions.....House of the Future?

Re: Kid Jumps In JP Splashdown Pool
This is a very good analysis of one direction Disney should consider. With the leading edge of the baby boomer generation now hitting their 60s there are opportunities to consider. One option might be to set up a new area in the park for older guests ala Toon Town. It could be called Geezer Land.Randy B wrote:I only hope that the newer management people will look somewhere other than a "spin till you puke" type attraction. It's past time for some new gentle, fun, and thought provoking attractions to return.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

"Applesauce Cafe" for refreshments of a pre-masticated variety!

Now Hobie, you know that once you cross under the train station at the Magic Kingdom, EVERYONE becomes a kid again. No Geezers there. :D:hobie16 wrote:This is a very good analysis of one direction Disney should consider.

Re: Kid Jumps In JP Splashdown Pool
Geezer Land would be beyond a new trestle by the Tomorrow Land station. As soon as you cross under you'll need a walker, wheelchair or ECV.GaTechGal wrote:Now Hobie, you know that once you cross under the train station at the Magic Kingdom, EVERYONE becomes a kid again. No Geezers there. :D:

No..that would be SG land, as most don't really need them, just get them to get the head of the line pass!hobie16 wrote:Geezer Land would be beyond a new trestle by the Tomorrow Land station. As soon as you cross under you'll need a walker, wheelchair or ECV.

Re: Kid Jumps In JP Splashdown Pool
IMO all show and ride buildings should be built like Faraday cages so SGs who are to stupid to turn off their ringers won't bother everybody else. Putting in repeaters wired to outside antennas for the frequencies that cast radios and pagers use will allow those to work but will stop cellphones from working.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:How about a "faraday pavillion, where ALL cell phones won't work!
I don't understand leaving the ringers on at Disney anyway, outside it is to noisy to hear the phone and inside most places a ringing phone is inappropriate and rude. I always put my phone on manner mode where it only vibrates, doesn't ring.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
