Three little words: Disney's Coaster Kingdom!! The world wants Disney to have more extreme thrill rides and more coasters. The sad fact is at WDW there might be 6 coasters, but they are spread out over the four parks, with a total of 3 puny inversions. IOA has 5 coasters, one of which is a family and one for kids, and a total of 17 inversions, Seaworld's Kraken is a worldwide top 25 one of a kind coaster with 7 inversions, and Busch Gardens has 7 coasters and an 8th under construction right now and as many or more inversions than IOA. So, Disney needs to build a more thrilling park for older kids (grown ups) with a number of coasters equal to the cross town competition and not theme it as heavily as their other parks, instead putting more funds into the rides themselves. Instead of spending $100 million for Mission Space or Expedition Everest, a total outlay of $400 million over a 4 year period could bring this major expansion of WDW thrills on-line with an opening population of as many as 10 coasters ranging from family rides to world class B&M scream machines.
