A rumored rehab to the Great Movie Ride at the Disney Studios has it being turned into a villains-themed ride. Another report from Screamscape talks of turning the old Sumbarine Voyage lagoon into a Journey to the Center of the Earth attraction, much like the one found at Tokyo DisneySea. The park is gearing up for a 12-month celebration of Walt Disney's 100th Birthday, and they've moved his office from the DL's Hall of Presidents to the MGM Studios tour. Also as part of the celebration, a giant Sorcerer's Apprentice hat has been erected in front of Mann's Chinese Theater. Space attraction, set to open in 2003, is generating a lot of excitement as well.
Rumors have guests sitting in four person cockpits, which replicate the inside of a space shuttle.
Mike Eisner has recently said an entire new area will be opened inside Animal Kingdom , and many believe that Beastly Kingdom will become that reality by 2004. A new park is also in the works, and could be under construction within just five years. Some known concepts include another DisneySea, a park based on Disney's villains, an extreme sports park and some sort of science fiction-themed park. Though most of Nickelodeon's production facilities are no longer in use, a Rugrat's themed attraction may well be on the way. There may also be plans for one or two new Jurassic Park rides for the resort.
