Sign Petition for "Lost" Island Attraction @ Disneyland

That is, if some hardcore fans of both the happiest place on earth and the weirdest show on TV have anything to say about it. A petition for a "Lost" island attraction to replace Tom Sawyer Island has gone viral on the Web. It is making the rounds among those feeling a sense of, well, loss, at the idea that their beloved TV show will go dark as of May 2010.

So without word of a "Lost" movie in the works and looking at a grim future minus the completely engrossing world of plane crash victims stranded on a tropical island, fans' last hope is the Big Mouse. After all, Disney is the parent company to the ABC network, which airs the series. So, why not take over the sadly outdated mash-up of Tom Sawyer and Pirates of the Caribbean and imagineer something rabid obsessive lovers of "Lost" would actually appreciate?

The wishful thinkers behind the petition are making it easy for Disney: As the OC Weekly points out, the organizers even suggest components to the ride, including ruins, a smoke monster, Jacob's cabin, and a submarine ride. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into this plea to let "Lost" live.

It's not a completely crazy idea, either. No offense to the American icon who ruled the Mississippi on a raft, but that's not even retro cool. That's just plain out of date. More puzzling, the Tom Sawyer Island is now shared with Pirate's Lair and, these Disney 2.0 types argue, the whole thing could use a refresh. Maybe Disney would be open to a social-media inspired attraction attached to one of their amazingly successful TV shows.

Really? I think this would be a genius idea replacing Tom Sawyers island with Lost. Wouldn't you love to go down the mysterious hatch? Hrm? Hrm? Hrm?

so it would confusing and create a million questions and answer none of them.

OH! OH! Would you not know what ride you're on until like, the very end, but even then you're still confused as shit?

A+ for me!

^ Haha! Gold. Sounds silly to make it into a ride, but I would totally ride it having the chance.

That sounds derogatory with me saying it so vague like that.

so hold on theres seriously a petition to replace a ride that is as old as the park itself with a ride based on a series that lost its sparkle about three seasons ago?

not happening folks

I'm against, not because I'm anti-Lost, but because I'm pro-Tom Sawyer Island. It's a great attraction and it's one of the originals from Disneyland's opening in 1955. I'd hate to see it go.

exactly I'm with joshua

I'm against for the fact that 'Land is further from me than 'World.

I'm all for a Lost theme-park attraction. Though, they shouldn't have to change an existing one to give it to us.

I don't know. A decade from now, who's going to give a shit about 'Lost'?

It doesn't have that timelessness quality and universal appeal needed.

Kids and parents recognize/enjoy Tom Sawyer. Same can't be said for 'Lost'.

Now that you've all mentioned it, I guess you're right but it wouldn't be a bad idea for Universal Studios or an attraction somewhere.

Don't hold your breath, I doubt Disney will be selling ABC anytime soon.
