They were supposed to be doing a ton of cool new stuff at Disneyland, but they have axed most of it due to budget cuts. I have the inside scoop from ex-manager of Disneyland who's a good friend of the family, so it's pretty cool. He has his name on the license plate of a Autopia car.
-- The Jungle Cruise and the Indiana Jones ride were supposed to have a connecting part of the ride. The Jungle Cruise boat would be trapped in a whirlpool while the Indy jeeps drive by. They decided not to do it.
-- Based on the cartoon movie 'Atlantis', Disney was going to make a ride where the old '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' Submarine ride used to be, as well as where the ski boat ride used to be. The theme of the ride was that the people riding the ride would be looking for a lost expedition crew. As the ride went along, they'd arrive at Atlantis, where they would be attacked by the Leviathan monster. After being shaken around by the creature, they would be saved by the other expedition crew, and the ride would end. They decided not to do it.
-- The changing of the film playing inside of Star Tours ships has been on the boards for 4 years, since the release of TPM, but it has yet to be done. George Lucas has been demanding more money for the use of his pride and joy, but Disney can't pay his demands because Michael Eisner, head of Disney, takes millions of dollars out of company each year for his own pleasure. They have yet to do it.
Disney is starting to piss me off...
