Rides, desperately in need of an update.

Disney havent confirmed the closing date for Spaceship Earth as of yet.
But i agree, it does need an upgrade. Hopefully the upgrade theyre planning will be great.

I love figment, but yeah. Thats a ride that seriously needs upgrading.

Test track - i hate what they did to it. Put it back the old way or change it completely.

I haven't been on the new version, but I loved the old one. From what I have seen of the changes (online videos), it seems less of an experience, now, somehow.

I agree about C of P.

I think the classics should be valued and maintained. Not every attraction needs to be a shiny, new thrill ride. That would take Disney in the direction of being a more generic theme park. The classics are a big part of what made/makes Disney unique. Shame they forgot that when removing so many classics (attractions and, even, stores) from HS.

No 'obviously' about it!

Completely replacing Jungle Cruise to a rapids ride is a good example of what I meant about removing the individuality of Disney and making it a more run-of-the-mill theme park.

That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy a few rapids on JC as part of its current, unique theme, but it's very much a family ride and family rides are the heart of MK. Many other theme parks are more of a mix of thrill rides and rides for younger kids, without much in-between.

Long live the classic Disney attractions and, especially, the family-focus of MK!

What have they done to it?

[neatfrk]

The monorails. Scrap and replace already. They are increasingly unreliable, at times unsafe and years past their intended service lives.

When they updated it from being an actual "test track" where you were a crash test dummy.
To the awful Chevron thing they have now

Oh I never did the previous one. I enjoy the chevron one, so the last one must have been really good!

What do you mean by being a crash test dummy? What was different with the actual ride? I am not too bothered about the indoors bit or building your own car, I like the outdoor bit.

Anyway to the original question, I think Soarin’ is most in need of a revamp, it is an embarrassment if you compare to say FoP. Second would be Dinosaur, it is two minutes of being bumped about for no apparent reason, I am sure something better could be done with the space and dinosaur theme.
