If you could re-theme ANY attraction, which one, and what would you do with it?
I'll start. I would turn The Country Bears into Lester's Possum Park.
Go!

Would bring back Eastern Airlines and put it like in United Airlines and bring back the song "IF You Have Wings!"
Change Star Wars Land into Lord of the Rings Land. It would be glorious. :pixie:
OK, well, I meant if you could take any current Disney attraction and re-theme it with any Disney IP! Not that I wouldn't enjoy a good "Lord of the Rings" land...
Bonus Points for something more obscure/loess popular, like Lester's Possum Park from "A Goofy Movie".
To get you going, here are some Disney Parks Re-Themes:
Maelstrom -> Frozen
Space Mountain (DL) -> Hyperspace Mountain
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride -> Winnie the Pooh
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -> Finding Nemo
Countdown to Extinction -> Dinosaur
(Coming Soon) Splash Mountain -> Princess and the Frog
Not sure if this counts, more of an add-on, but turn the outside of Test Track into Tron as the inside is rather Tron-esque already.
I just want to flip Imagination back to the original.
I would re-theme Tomorrowland speedway into a "CARS" themed attraction with a drive-through building to have night-time neon scenes from Radiator Springs even when riding the attraction in the in the daytime.
I would just take "Radiator Springs Racers" from California Adventure. The whole CARS land for that matter. One of the best lands in any Disney Park IMOQuote:

My kids loved the Boneyard. Lots of great memories there. We will definitely be sad if they get rid of that area, as we were sad when they took out the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground. Of course, my "kids" are now 23, 21 (in a two weeks), and 15. But, they grew up on those two playgrounds.Quote:

Their eyes got wide, they took off into the playground, she and a couple of her friends just sat down and talked like parents do, and they didn't see those boys for an hour. They LOVED it.
All that said, I like the idea of re-theming the Boneyard to be a Lion King play area. I think that works!
Even though it it 'technically' in Dinoland, turn Chester 'N Hester's area into an Indian (as in the country) themed area. It looks like there might be some area for expansion back and toward the Finding Nemo theater.....Move Chester 'N Hester's Gift Shop closer to the Dinosaur ride to make more room.
I would want to bring back Mr Toad's wild ride.. where Pooh is..
I don't think Tom Sawyer's Island is used much and, unfortunately, I don't think many even know who Tom Sawyer is. I always thought more could be done with that area. Perhaps they could make a modern Tom Sawyer movie and then put some life into that area.
I also have never really liked the Chester 'N Hester area of Dinoland. I know it is themed to look like a cheap tourist trap carnival-like area, but that always seemed like an easy cop-out to avoid spending money. I would like something done with that area. I like the Dinosaur/extinct animals theme, but prefer a more immersive area like they have been building lately.
The island was one place I've been trying to figure out what would make sense. I thought that maybe something "Treasure Island" themed, but that's no better than Tom Sawyer. Maybe something having to do with Pirates of the Caribbean? Build the town of Tortuga on it or something.Quote:

I was thinking maybe Pirates too. I guess they are having a new movie coming out. The island is separated from Adventureland, so they would have to figure our how to blend it in.Quote:

Perhaps change the boats that shuttle you over to be themed like Milo's ship, crossing under a waterfall to get onto the island. Then have a dark ride based on the movie on the island. There would be room for the Milo and Kida meet and greets and the requisite gift shop at the end of the ride of course.
