Antarctica definitely is the best themed area out of the entire chain. It's very impressively done and is a work of art! The ride is fine for what it is, and for most of the GP as soon as they see the real penguins at the end, it makes up for the short ride time. Sesame Street similarly is done really well! I think they'll wait another year or two before they invest in that dark ride, just so they can revitalize it once some of the excitement wears off.
I really do hope they find a way to have both the Sesame Street ride and finally redo Wild Arctic to have that flying theater. I know the focus is on coasters now, but if they do in fact build another coaster next year, they're really going to have to re balance their attraction line up. Not everyone likes coasters! Turtle Trek was a really cool attraction and now it no longer has the 3D effect, an experience I believe the GP looks for in Orlando.
I definitely agree about Brian Morrow, it's pretty clear that he had no hand in IB, and it shows. One has to wonder what types of attractions were in the vault for their parks under his lead.
Overall, I would say if next years new attraction is a coaster, I hope that it is heavily themed because essentially they would be creating a new area of the park as currently festival pathway is themed to whichever event is over there. I wouldn't mind an area like Ocean Explorer, which overall I thought was a cute themed area of SWSD, obviously the flagship ride wasn't great, but SWO could use some more flats.
