    Default Should Epcot add Tron 3D?

    Just reading a post about MuppetVision3D and thought about the other 3D shows. At this point, I'm thinking they should scrap Honey I Can't Believe This 3D Film Is Still Here. Even replacing it with Captain Eons Old is kind of a let down. Tron is a Disney original and it definitely would fit well with Future World and the Imagination Pavilion. And with the recent movie, why not?

    I think it would fit in well at Epcot or the Studios. A new attraction at either park (especially Studios) would be a nice much needed change.

    I think Phineas and Ferb would be a better fit in Imagination Pavilion than Tron... While I hope Tron does come to WDW in some manner (hopefully a great E-ticket ride), I am not so sure Epcot is the place for it... Personally, I think a Flynn's Arcade building facade on one of the streets in DHS is a better place... Even Tomorrowland is a better fit for Tron... Epcot? I am not sold...

    Sorry but Phineas and Ferb belong at DHS as well. Epcot has been ruined recently by placing the wrong characters there!!

    Wrong??? Phineas and Ferb uses their Imagination to create inventions... Yep, using your imagination has nothing to do with the Imagination pavilion... Silly me...

    Living Seas pavilion was DEAD before Nemo was placed in there.. So tell me how fish, you know the under the sea animals, have nothing to do with um the SEAS????

    Epcot hasn't been ruined by placing characters in there... Epcot was ruined by keeping the name FUTURE WORLD.. The future becomes the past very quickly now-a-days... Disney's best bet: End Future World and just called it Discovery World.. makes 1,000 times more sense... Especially since TDO refuses to spend money on, you know, keeping Future World futuristic...

    Please, tell me what characters have ruined Epcot????

    Please, no Phineas and Ferb at Epcot. Man is that a get-on-your-nerves cartoon. I think Tron is a great fit. If you watched the new movie, you'd get it fitting into Future World.

    It just doesn't look like Tron: Legacy has the "legs" to support its own attraction. The box office takes are already dropping, to the point that it may not make it 'into the black.'

    Much like the original Tron movie, this one seems to be the type to have a 'cult' following, rather than being a Disney staple.

    Exactly right and I'm for adding attractions to Epcot that appeal to all ages, especially kids. Original Tron and Tron Again had limited audiences.

    Well, who asked you, ya stinkers I'm not looking for things that appeal to everyone. I'm looking for things that appeal to me. Sounds selfish, but they already have the The Seas with Nemo for the kids, Living with the Land for the aged, and Universe of Energy for those who like to sleep during the day.

    I want an attraction that is cool for boys. The MK has all sorts of things for girls - maybe Epcot should be more of a boy place.

    Actually I would be VERY surprised to see any major theme park open up a new traditional 3-D show in the future. Given the commonplace nature of 3-D now w/ big screen movies and even 3-D TV, the novelty just isn't there.

    That's not to say 3-D technology won't be used, I just see it being used as more of an immersive secondary element in an attraction (think Spiderman at IOA) than a main attraction.

    That being said, I think Tron: Legacy would be the PERFECT brand to leverage for a major e-Ticket attraction.
