Looks like this isn't going to die afterall... From Screamscape
2007? - Project Gemini - Rumor - (2/6/04) Our latest Spy Transmission tells us about some possible reworking of the old Project Gemini plans to rejuvenate Epcot. Ive no way of knowing just how solid any of these rumors are right now however, so take all of this with a grain of salt. This latest story claims that Future World will still be renamed Discoveryland and be given the Montana style treatment that was tried (and failed) on Disneylands Tomorrowland, by adding more earthy tones and lots of new trees. As work on Soarin near completion in 2005, they hope to have an all new attraction concept set and approved to take over the seasonal Wonders of Life pavilion. Weve also heard about some kind of small Rain Forest themed coaster or flume ride that could be added to the Land pavilion. Previous version of Project Gemini also had an junior inverted coaster built into the new treescape in front of the pavilion, but it seems those plans were quickly dropped. Im not sure if this is an old rumor that just wont die or if they are still considering this ride concept. A small jungle themed coaster is in the works for Tokyo DisneySea after all. The push to add a major launched roller coaster ride to Epcot however is still there (SSE: Time Racers) and since they cant put it inside SpaceShip Earth, they may now be looking at attaching it to the Imagination Pavilion as a new ride (old rides will stay) called Brainstormers. The basic plot of the ride is said to be a new invention from an Imagination Institute Professor that will launch riders into their very own imaginations, a twisted world to be sure, perfect for a coaster layout. Thats all for now...
