That's the worst idea ever. Pump money and amazing new ideas in this dinosaur and make it shine again as it did when it opened.
Don't be rude. No, in an ideal world, it's not what they should do, but it's a better compromise than just slapping some cartoon shorts in there. If this was the company it should be, they would create and install a groundbreaking new film every few years that explores the boundaries of what we can do with our imaginations. That's not the company running the parks, though, and showcasing some of the cool films they've made exclusively for the parks in the past is probably the very best we can reasonably hope they'll do. I'm sure they'll eventually do a major update (sounding like it's still at least five years away), but we'll be very, very lucky if it's not some exorbitantly inappropriate IP slapped in there.Walt vision of the future transformed in a cheap museum of rotating old movies.

Disney does not own many/most of the arcade games at DQ. Especially the new ones. They just rent them out for periods of time and swap them out occasionally for different ones.Hypothetically, if the Tron rumor as the replacement for UoE, does the closing of DisneyQuest mean that a lot of those games and concept attractions could end up as part of a pre/post show arcade? (Moving the Aladdin VR would be bringing a small attraction back to Epcot as it started as a demonstration in Innoventions)
Also, did Disney limit the possible use of Dreamfinder and Figment in the park by having the current comics be published by Marvel?

Are you sure about that? When I visited Disney's warehouse in Kissimmee they had rows and rows of arcade games being stored. I've also seen them sell off lots of the older or poor condition ones at Property Control and though things like Theme Park Connection.Disney does not own many/most of the arcade games at DQ.

I don't know what to believe at this point, both Attractions Magazine and WDWNT have indicated recently that what they're hearing is that TRON is currently the frontrunner to replace Energy, and other people I trust have said that Guardians ain't happening.Also, Tron isn't a rumor for UoE. Not a credible one at least (at the moment).
I want it to be Tron, just so I'd be right. I've been saying Tron coaster for a long time.I don't know what to believe at this point, both Attractions Magazine and WDWNT have indicated recently that what they're hearing is that TRON is currently the frontrunner to replace Energy, and other people I trust have said that Guardians ain't happening.

If Ellen goes, there goes our afternoon nap in the air conditioning. Pulling for the old girl.I'm flummoxed as well. GotG has always been a non-starter--not going to build an E-ticket they can't advertise. (Tho I wonder how far along they got in the process before Legal realized that clause was there.) Tron is woefully outdated, and the sequel/reboot flopped, it always defied credibility. The only other IP remotely related to energy would be Monsters Inc. but that seems a real stretch.
Of course, until an official closing date is announced and comes to pass, I'm not convinced Ellen won't be there for another decade.

If by "proper rides" you mean roller coasters, don't bother. People like that should just stop going to EPCOT altogether and ruining it for the rest of us who want something more fulfilling, something more to chew on than just dessert. For some of us a """"proper ride"""" is an immersive masterpiece like The Haunted Mansion or Horizons or Journey Into Imagination. If people want g-forces, they can go to Six Flags. This isn't to say that the park can't have the occasional thrill, the best theme parks have a wide variety of types of attractions, but those thrills should be something that contributes towards expanding your understanding of the world.If I got to go Epcot, I will go for the proper rides.
That is an incredibly simplistic view of people. Most people are a lot more nuanced than just being a brain-dead adrenaline junkie. Most people experience some degree of curiosity and if EPCOT was doing its job right it would be sparking the embers of that curiosity into a roaring flame.The average guest doesn't really care too much about learning at a theme park and would far prefer feeling g forces.
