The slow-paced project that began in early 2018 to update Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom is now shifting to the concrete design on the main walkway into the land from the hub.

The cogs and wheels concrete is being removed

The existing cog design looks like it is being removed in favor of a more basic design.

The existing concrete is being sectioned for removal

Large areas of the concrete have now been cut and sectioned in preparation for removal.

Cuts across the concrete are very visible

New concrete is already in place in some small sections near to Buzz Lightyear Spaceranger Spin.

New concrete has already been put down in some areas

The RCA and GE lounges say hi.

It can borrow the stinging effect from It's Tough to Be a Bug to simulate a shot. The crowd squeals with utter joy when that happens!!

It'd be as horrifying as SGE! Perfect!!!

Kids *love* a doctor's visit and medical examinations!!!

Although I think the IP could work in Epcot, I think Big Hero 6 could work well for the SGE theatres if they're set on keeping the theatre-in-the-round setup. An animatronic Baymax in the middle who tests a variety of medical abilities as special effects (scanner, sprayer, etc) and starts malfunctioning to show his super hero abilities as special effects. Then throw an M&G in the Merchant of Venus space.

Buzz is fine where he is, but the ride should have an update, a refurbished queue and some new settings. Freshen it up... Monsters should be moved to DHS... it is a better fit there. Stitch should have moved into the People Mover show scenes causing havoc in the Transport system of Tomorrowland...and while they are at it they could add some show scenes in the inky blackness of Space Mountain. They really need to figure out what to do with both the defunct SGE and MILF Crerate some sort of futuristic 2 part adventure?...SOMETHING......

With a second ride involving the same gimmick.

Most of them don't have a land dedicated specifically to their franchise, though.

That's a pretty low bar.

A couple of musings: Hard disagree that the Wreck-It Ralph shooter replace Buzz at WDW. Let the OLC relish in having another attraction unique to them I will, however, agree that Buzz is in need of a redo; either refurbish the original ride or retheme it to Stitch or Big Hero 6 Whatever gets put in the SGE! space, I hope it's an improvement over what was there... Something desperately needs to be done with the Speedway Actually, something also needs to be done with the Laugh Floor. Tomorrowland's attraction roster (and its aesthetic, to a lesser extent) really ought to be spiffed up over what they currently entail

I don't see an issue with this. There are many characters that have multiple rides or are in multiple parks.

I think Buzz fit well in Tomorrowland… Until Toy Story Land opened. Now it’s just redundant and weird to have a Toy Story ride in a different park. I’d make the same argument about Star Tours. Once a franchise has a whole land, I don’t see the need for it to occupy space in another.

I'm surprised that this little tidbit from @Henry Mystic's recent information dump hasn't made it to this thread.

Dreamflight was the history of aviation that ended with a (now dated) vision of the future It was a small scale EPCOT Center kind of ride. That Delta was paying for it meant it could go anywhere as far as Disney was concerned.
