With a second ride involving the same gimmick.

Most of them don't have a land dedicated specifically to their franchise, though.

That's a pretty low bar.

A couple of musings: Hard disagree that the Wreck-It Ralph shooter replace Buzz at WDW. Let the OLC relish in having another attraction unique to them I will, however, agree that Buzz is in need of a redo; either refurbish the original ride or retheme it to Stitch or Big Hero 6 Whatever gets put in the SGE! space, I hope it's an improvement over what was there... Something desperately needs to be done with the Speedway Actually, something also needs to be done with the Laugh Floor. Tomorrowland's attraction roster (and its aesthetic, to a lesser extent) really ought to be spiffed up over what they currently entail

I don't see an issue with this. There are many characters that have multiple rides or are in multiple parks.

I think Buzz fit well in Tomorrowland… Until Toy Story Land opened. Now it’s just redundant and weird to have a Toy Story ride in a different park. I’d make the same argument about Star Tours. Once a franchise has a whole land, I don’t see the need for it to occupy space in another.

I'm surprised that this little tidbit from @Henry Mystic's recent information dump hasn't made it to this thread.

Dreamflight was the history of aviation that ended with a (now dated) vision of the future It was a small scale EPCOT Center kind of ride. That Delta was paying for it meant it could go anywhere as far as Disney was concerned.

Hot take?: I actually think Buzz fits fine in Tomorrowland, even with the inconsistency of whether or not you're on an adventure with the "real" Buzz or if you're supposed to be the size of a toy. Could be worse, though... in the Disneyland version, instead of having them grab Zurg with a giant claw (which, even if they're not toys, still works as a fun reference to the Aliens' origin in the movie) and putting him in jail, the episode ends with them trapping Zurg in his box and preparing to return him to the store. I mean, honestly, did Dreamflight fit super-well in Tomorrowland either?

TL94 was really beautiful when it debuted....And there was so much more that could have been done to keep it fresh and expand with more attractions etc...

I have to say, I’m shocked that Stitch hasn’t made a real return to Tomorrowland given how popular the little guy is. If I were in charge, I’d retheme Buzz to Stitch in a heartbeat. The other obvious choice for Tomorrowland is Wall-E. It’s a shame that Disney hasn’t made an effort to integrate that film into either Tomorrowland or EPCOT

Gonna be honest, I'm not the most fond of Wreck-It-Ralph as a Tomorrowland IP. I'm of the mindset that a modern Tomorrowland can be futuristic and science fiction based aesthetically without needing to expressly represent future technology, but I think Wreck-it-Ralph presents an aesthetic issue similar to what is found in Buzz. Sure, the narrative idea of using technology to transport guests into a digital world/video game fits the land well enough (Tron) but the locales in the film present an aesthetic clash with the already clashing aesthetics of Tomorrowland. Sugar Rush is the most memorable location in the film (evidenced by Tokyo's concept presented) and I think the candy colors and aesthetics of it don't match TL. I like Buzz as a concept, a peacekeeping force of space soldiers shooting evil aliens, but the flat sets, Viewmaster, and giant batteries all seem to create the vibe that these are still toys and the whole ride could be a play-set in Andy's imagination. I understand the desire to add those elements in a vacuum, they're a fun homage to the source material, but their implications do not mesh with Tomorrowland as a whole. I understand it's never coming back, but the TL'94 redo was impeccable. It made the land feel like an actual place with actual inhabitants. It framed everything as an alien spaceport with a power station, a convention center, several public transit hubs, a museum exhibit, a kinetic art installation, shopping and dining that all existed in one place and one time in one universe. Now, for better or for worse, it mirrors Adventureland or Fantasyland where a wide variety of visual aesthetics combine.

By today’s standard, that’s sort of accurate, but it was originally much closer in spirit to Future World in EPCOT.

I've always considered Tomorowland as the land for Sci-Fi based attractions, not a land that can only have attractions set in the future. That's why Buzz (Set in Space), Stitch (Set in Space & uses Teleportation), Tron (Grid technology) and Monsters Inc (Portal to Monsters World, Renewable Energy) have made sense because their stories are based on sci-fi tech or space that wouldn't make sense in any other land in Magic Kingdom. Wreck-It Ralph would fit the Sci-Fi element by technology that would allow you to enter the video game
