"Out of date' rides

[McLiberal8]

I was just listening to Sorcerer Radio, and they had the full ride audio for Ellen's Energy Adventure. I like the ride a lot, mainly because it has Bill Nye, who I watched on a daily basis when I was a kid, but I was thinking: I can imagine a lot of kids these days don't even know who he is, and Ellen looks very '90s' in the ride, also. When do you think they will update this ride? Or do you think it will be replaced in a few years? What other rides in your opinion (besides the classics, of course) seem outdated, and need a facelift/to be gone?

Definitely Ellen's Energy Adventure! I completely agree.

Star Tours used to be my #1 in need of replacing, but Energy Adventure has taken over that position.

The Backlot Tour at the Studios needs to be updated as well - it has SUCH potential. Ironically, I think the original version is much more interesting and relevant than what they've got going on now. The Pearl Harbor section especially has to go - it wasn't even that much of a hit and came out forever ago! I'd love them to keep it as a Backlot Tour, but really have interesting behind the scenes stuff!

I love that ride.

Muppets 3d, PhilHarmagic.

I miss the old Lion King show, that was kinda like the Nemo show at Ak. Not a big fan of the current Lion King show.

UOE could use some sort of update to freshen it up since it has become a little boring to me. But I couldn't imagine it with new characters. Even though Bill Nye isn't very relevant now days, there's really no other person who could fill that slot. I mean there's really no educational shows out that you can even look at for a replacement. Elen's still pretty popular because of her show & I like her for the part anyway.

Backlot Tour definitely needs some major refreshment. I agree that the Pearl Harbor scene needs to be replaced but the attraction also needs a lot more excitement throughout the ride. Catastrophy Canyon just isn't cutting it.

I would agree that many things at the Studios need updating. Backlot tour, Indiana Jones, Muppets. Unlike some though, I still love UOE. I think Innoventions needs updated for sure. The race track at MK is really something I associate with the long gone past.

Universe of Energy with the Mythbusters!

The Tomorrowland Speedway surely MUST be the next in line for an overhaul! As the whole "Tomorrowland" theming in that area has kinda fallen by the wayside, that leaves the options for that area WIDE open. But in keeping with the original idea, perhaps a TRON inspired attraction would be the natural choice. Dark...indoor...maybe something to do with the very cool cycles they ride, or the "ring" fighting thing they do.

Yeah Ellen's ride is due. That boat ride in Mexico is just so weird and out of place. All it has are flat screens with Donald Duck, I dont get it, I think its probably just filler to get people off other rides and into line when the park is packed. Imagination needs an overhaul or demolition as well.
