Disney World Fans Push for Targeted Fixes to Aging Classic Rides

New reports compile a refurbishment wishlist that prioritizes preservation over fresh IP overlays.

Overview

  • Fan outlets published October 9 roundups that consolidate guest complaints into concrete upgrade requests across all four parks.
  • At EPCOT, Journey Into Imagination with Figment is cited for dated tech and a muddled story, with calls to modernize visuals and refocus the narrative.
  • Star Tours is praised yet criticized for rough simulator motion, prompting suggestions for smoother ride mechanics and subtle in‑cabin effects to boost immersion.
  • Expedition Everest riders want the Yeti’s original movement restored, a fan goal widely acknowledged as a complex engineering fix without extended closures.
  • Additional asks include updating Spaceship Earth’s finale with more personalization, smoothing Space Mountain’s track, refreshing Mission: SPACE screens and motion, polishing Haunted Mansion effects, and considering a Coco reimagining for Gran Fiesta Tour as a fan proposal.
