I think some rumors have been crossed. If I am not mistaken the Lone Ranger Ride is Tony Baxter's last hurrah project rumored to be going into DISNEYLAND'S Frontierland.
But there is a rumor for something big coming to WDW's TSI
I wouldn't discount a Tony Baxter Last Hurrah project, regardless of the theme. Particularly one going into Disneyland, where it won't get "value engineered" to death. Color me interested.
Unfortunately, the only way Tony will ever head another project at WDW would be just to make sure TDO doesn't cheap out when they decide to clone the Lone Ranger attraction from Disneyland.
Much to TDO's chagrin, painted flats ain't happening! The Painted Flats fans are already shopping resumes.
From what I heard the painted flats suggestion was the final nail in TDO's coffin. Burbank is done with them.
