Gimmicks that have yet to appear in Modern Day: Planks, Minecarts, Night, Water, Freezing Winds, and Slider Tiles. Hopefully we'll see them in part 2. Now, there's a couple ways these could be handled:

Now, these are odd, and probably have the lowest chance out of any of these of appearing. However, since Modern Day is "Project Paradox", there's a possibility we could see some levels in part 2 where time is kind of fractured, and whole chunks of the lanes are missing. Or, they could kill 2 birds with one stone and have planks be on a lawn filled with water. Flying zombies can fly over the water, the water itself could even have tides, and boom! You've successfully merged 2 gimmicks. I really hope we see this in part 2. They could darken the lawn, or use the lawn from the Dark Ages Pinata Parties, and simply keep sun from falling from the sky. It's not that hard. If we get water, there's likely 2 ways that it will be implemented. Either we'll return to the backyard and have the pool, or the lawn will flood and we'll get tides. Or they could do the proposed plank idea. There's no reason for them not to have freezing winds in any of these levels. They've been in Pinata Parties, and Hot Potato's not the only thawing plant. It can be done. Slider Tiles are just like Freezing Winds: They can be done, and there's no reason that they shouldn't. The only hindrance I can think of is that a new sprite may need to be made for them.
 * Planks
 * Night
 * Water
 * Freezing Winds
 * Slider Tiles

Now I'm sure the reason that some of these may not happen is because Modern Day can be unlocked at any time. Therefore, Popcap may not want to add in night mechanics because of the possibility that the player doesn't have Sun-shroom. They may not want to add in water mechanics in case the player doesn't have Lily Pad, and they may not add freezing winds in case the player doesn't have any thawing plants. The game mechanic that doesn't really make much sense in the first place will likely hinder the game's finale. How sad.
