BREAKING: DOCTOR WHO THE RIDE

Inside sources have told me that in 2016 a Doctor Who ride will be coming to Epcot Park: World Showcase at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.



 My sources are telling me that it will be replacing the beloved Maelstrom ride at the Norway Pavilion. It'll be a shame to see this classic that's been enchanting guests for years go, but space is limited in the park and this is the only space they had. My sources told me that the ride will be utilizing KUKA robotic arm technology, breaking Universal's previously exclusive deal. Oh, and speaking of which, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey will be shutting down at the end of the year to make way for Sharknado: The Ride 3D.

Back to Doctor Who, the facade will be the TARDIS and the vehicles will look like mini TARDIS'. The story is that the twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald are stuck in an alternative universe where Epcot is overrun by Daleks. Join them for this fun adventure with twist, turns, and surprises! With the magic of FASTPASS+ you can book your magical ride 60 days in advance and enter with a Magic Band! (Magic Band t-shirts are optional). The ride is expected to begin construction later this year and open in 3 years, such a quick timeframe! That's all for tonight, and I'm as excited as you are!



NOTE: WHAT I JUST SAID ISN'T TRUE AND I HAVE NO SOURCES. DON'T GO COMPLAINING ON FORUMS THAT I WAS LYING.

What I'd like to see in the Imagination Refurbishment

Hey look, a new blog post! Yes, I'm going to actually give a damn about this blog and write posts. With that said, a few weeks ago Spirit at wdwmagic.com said that the entire Imagination Pavillion at Epcot will be closing this winter and all of next year for a major refurbishment. This includes making a new ride and getting rid of Captain EO. Now, let's take a dive into Imagination!



 Let's talk about the abomination known as Captain EO first. As you may or may not have known, when Michael Jackson passed away Disney decided to bring back Captain EO in it's original theaters for a limited time. Well that limited time must have been 3 years, since that's how long it's been here and at Disneyland. Insiders are saying DL's is getting replaced with a clone of Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (can't wait to see locals' reactions), but no word on what's replacing the Florida version. My suggestion? A show with Dr Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Having the Muppets in two parks isn't an overkill, and they fit really well. Remember the Muppet Mobile Labs that were at Epcot a few years ago? If they mixed that with a full 3D show, it would be amazing. I would have said Phineas and Ferb, but God knows how long it's shelf life will be.

 Now it's time to talk about the Imagination ride itself. First thing's first, DON'T SCREW UP. We don't need a reincarnation of the current version. Second, bring back Dreamfinder! Obviously this is what everyone wants. Last but not least, what should the ride be? I have a suggestion: A trackless remake of the original. I'm not sure if it would be possible, but it would be excellent to use the trackless system after that piece of crap known as Antarctica opened in May at Seaworld. The ride would bring back many scenes from the original with a few new ones and different ride paths for the trackless system.


 In the end, whatever they do can NOT be worse than the current pavillion. Thanks for reading! If you want to catch up with my latest musings give me a follow on Twitter @ThemeParks4Life
