Proposed Disney Theme Park outside Washington DC - 1990's?

alien encounter toned down with stitch

Stitch wasn't tone down, it was completely altered from being scary to be fun for a younger audience, although your point still stands. Anyways, even if this park was built, I'd doubt it would be any good anyways, would have had the same problems of DCA as it would have been to educational, and not enough disney-esque theming.

Well, you know what I mean, make it "less scary"/tone down, same diff.

more like epcot, even though that didn't go as planned either. I loved the old school epcot before they tried to lure more people in with their thrill rides that kill, totally ruining the whole concept of the front section. The only thing they haven't screwed up is spaceship earth, and I fear that's going to go soon for some rumored "launched coaster themed to time travel". As for the rest, they add ellen and bill nye to the engery pavillion, make body wars seasonal and probably closed that off all completely now (someone know if it still exists, or will ever open back up?) horizons is long gone for a nasa death trap, world of motion is now test track where you are the dummy, imagination isn't the same anymore, just lame experients and then they try to make it better by putting figment back in, they change the land and make that better by adding soarin (haven't been recently so I don't know if this is a good or bad thing) but it replaced kitchen kaberet! and then finally living seas is all finding nemo related, say goodbye to seabase alpha. I could go on about this, but I'll stop here and go vent off elsewhere and save you guys some time reading my long unecessary rant

^ I agree with you 200% on that rant. Trust me, you're not alone on that one. Rumor has it (I'll call it rumor for now until I can provide a link) that the Wonders of Life pavillion is only used for certain private functions, etc., and it will soon be converted to another Nemo attraction!!! Oh, the freakin' humanity!!

 

IMHO, Soarin' is a great ride.......one time. After I got off the ride the first time, I simply thought 'ok, you guys can bring The Land back now, thanks.' It's a great tool for California tourism, but that's about it. Hmmm, come to think of it, that fits right in with the new EPCOT Future World theme of eh, whatever goes.
