Thanks guys, edited my OP to include the others.

I'm super excited about the Tron ride. Might ride it all day.

YEAAAAAAAAAH! to all!! All needed changes. Tron ride...are you kidding me. The only 3-d movie I've ever seen that needed to be seen in 3-D. Fabulous! So excited for the future. ...and isn't that their evil plan???? It's working!!

 

[Pacolovestacos]

This is the first time in a very, very long time that I'm actually pretty stoked about all the changes.

 

[adisneyaunt]

sounds good to me....

 

[louey]

They are getting ready for Disney's big 50th Anniversary!!! 2021

 

[anniemae]

sounds cool! when will it all be done? TSL next summer, but what about the others?

Are all these rides going to be closed at the end of this year? I've read that GMR is gone next month, but that's it.

There's only two rides closing, GMR and Ellen, both on August 13th

Wow, changes that actually make sense WITHOUT messing up things people love.

Nice moves. I love the idea of the Mickey Mouse ride. We need more MICKEY in the parks.

So speedway is staying open? And im surprised they didn't mention anything new going into stitch. What about the new building on main street? Any thoughts if they are rebuilding town square theater or will this be a whole new building?

And.... I think the people on these boards have known about these for weeks/months. Not a surprise, here huh? No secrets in the Kingdom.

Nonetheless, these all sound like great and exciting additions.

Entirely new theater. There is a thread on the Rumors and News Board about this.

 

[ITALIANNYC]

That speedway needs to go. That is a lot of space that can be used for something else.

 

[hiroMYhero]

Attraction-wise: China Pavilion will have a new Circle-Vision film.

Good luck, that will be a tough FP+ to get and guaranteed to have long lines.

Yes. That was completely inaccurate information. (careful who you listen to out there) The DPB picture shows it is staying.

There is now another blogger out there saying they are converting Town Square in to the new theater but at D23 and in the DPB they clearly state(d) OFF Main Street with no mention of closing TS or Tony's. I predict it will be on the bypass utilizing a CM parking lot. Just my guess but makes sense.

They did say they have some other things but they weren't going to share everything today. I'm hoping all of Tomorrowland will get much needed love and Stitch replaced.

Also if you look at the Epcot rendering, tons happening in FW with demo and building but they didn't mention but a couple things.

Yep speedway is staying open. It was just rumored they would close it due to space. But looking at the rendering the speedway remains in tact and they are building the Tron building high enough so the MK train can run beneath it

As far as the new theatre my initial thought as soon as I saw their rendering was that they would close Tonys restaurant and just do some work on that building to transform it. That's really the only option unless like Hopper said they put it backstage but I think the Tony location is where I'd put my money
