    ^^ That was one of the reasons why I went to disney to see the Osborne lights for the last time and many people who I talked to, said the same thing, see the lights one last time. ^^

    When I was there, I had mixed feelings even though I had a blast.

    It has been 12 years since the last time I've been to Six Flags Georgia, but I heard it went downhill.

    So, in that discussion about NBA pulling out of the DisneyQuest thing, someone proposed that there be a Marvel floor, a Pixar floor, a Star Wars floor, and a Disney floor, with that last one having attractions dedicated to Disney's more action-oriented things like Tron.

    That would be awesome.

    Why does it sound like this "Star Wars Land" is being built on the site of the former "River Country" attraction (or very close thereto)

    Oh shit, wrong park.

    River Country's ruins are at Orlando, Star Wars will be at Anahiem.

    DHS Makeover - What we know so far..... | Page 259 | WDWMAGIC - Unofficial Walt Disney World discussion forums



    Goodbye first Hollywood studios icon. The mickey water tower is going away along with LMA, and the honey I shrunk the kids movie set. (plus the splash fountain. The only place that movie is seen anywhere in the park!)

    Nope, I have an annual pass so just going for the day. Had a great time!
    I do want to have one of those character meals sometime though. We are at that Aria restraint in California adventure once and that was great. No characters at the time though.

    Yes they are changing the track itself and also changing it to the movie hulk. Marvel asked universal to make the hulk the movie version. (or so I heard)
