If they brought in a cleaner car for the Speedway, then im fine with it, shorter track should mean shorter ride times which should help with congestion in the area, I always felt the speedway and its queue really could use a good make over, it doesnt really fit with the New Fantasyland and there is nothing Futuristic about the way it looks. Update the cars, give it a good re imagine and redesign the track to take up less space, and then the speedway could stay. Give it a real Disney spin and less like a any amusement park anywhere look and feel. I understand the nostalgia / photo feelings for parents but nostalgia doesnt and shouldn't stop disney from being able to re-imagine such a basic ride. Its iconic value is purely based on photos parents take of their kids driving, which honestly could be taken anywhere, but just because its WDW people want it to never change and remain the same. You can still have your kids driving at Disney and the ride being a less obtrusive, less of a foot print and more better themed attraction. You can have your mickey shaped cake and eat it to.

yeah, my kids still love it but I get why people don't like the noise and the smell, and part of the queue is out in the sun

The one they had at Hong Kong Disneyland was pretty cool as it was electric cars and they had lights and made noises to simulate like a futuristic ride system, etc. .... if they converted it to something like that with the look to fiti in with the Tron building I think that would be the best end result

I've kept TV service through Direct TV because the pricing is so good. I pay about $100/month for the DTV Choice package and 75 mbps internet with AT&T and I don't have any services fees for the DVR or any of the receivers since there was a promo that provided all of that free of charge when I started my service. I would be paying at least $75/month for standalone internet service.

I can't stand the smell either and we have Autopia at Disneyland and I can't stand the smell there as well. But between the two I do prefer the Autopia since it has show scenes.

That's what I figure and there wasn't a streaming service that really had everything we wanted so might need more than one or just not get everything ... and just hassle of changing over it wasn't worth what minimal savings there would be (if any) for me

agree with that last point - the one in Hong Kong had some fun show scenes as well (similar to DLR's Autopia but with a bit of a futuristic theme to them)

My big thing is I watch live baseball during the summer and even if you pay for the MLB service it's blocked out for the local market and I really only watch one of my local teams. The other has a lockout deal with TWC.

Good deals for both of you.
 
I think an electric conversion could be more thrilling and easier to manage for tomorrowland speedway. I think if you look at commercial go karting as an example, you can get a pretty thrilling layout in a smaller foot print. It's all about the frequency of turning relative to acceleration. Electric karts give you more initial torque etc.
I'm sure it's not in the budget, but I'd love to see a full re-imagination of the tomorrowland speedway real estate (post tron). Make a it full indoor track with elevation changes, so you use the smaller footprint. It could also be co-themed with tron.
