Retired Rides Poll

[DrWorm2008]

What is your most missed retired ride of all time? :(

[RedheadWriter]

Horizons. Thank goodness I have the DVD of the whole ride. When I get sad I watch it. And you sir, have STILL not watched the copy I gave you (Just kidding.....:) )

[SignguyTom]

Actually, my most missed ride is the Skyway. I always miss that one at Disney. In about 1985, I remember being on it at DLR while it stopped for about 5 minutes. We were right above the Main Street Electrical Parade. AWESOME!

BTW, since Skyway is not listed, I voted for 20k

[TexasPrincessAurora]

Since I could only pick one I picked the original Imagination. But Horizons and World of Motion are right there with it!

I couldn't agree more! :thumbsup:

Oh, and by the way....I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!!!
YAY GIANTS!!!:number1:

Why list Dreamflight, but not the original If You Had Wings? :confused:

[FlaTinkRAMESAM]

I loved alien encounter... i dunno why because it always scared the poo outta me! I miss 20,000 leagues also.

[DrWorm2008]

Why list Dreamflight, but not the original If You Had Wings? :confused:

I don't know - I kinda liked Dreamflight better....If You Had Wings also changed to If You Could Fly, after Eastern went under, and then Dreamflight went up when Delta became the sponsor. It just thought it was a great ride, and I miss it as much as all the others, :(although Buzz is pretty cool. :thumbsup:

[Polynesian Dweller]

Some great attractions on this list. Chose Horizons because it really represented what Epcot was about. But World of Motion was also a big favorite and could easily have been the choice.

[DisneyDD2]

I'm going with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but Horizons is a very close 2nd. I loved the part when you're facing the big screen.

[broadway_chick72]

You didn't list one that I miss, it's Food Rocks. I was 8 the first time I saw that. I loved it and enjoyed it.

[PinKy]

I am STILL so disappointed that they closed Alien Encounter. :(

[PinKy]

You didn't list one that I miss, it's Food Rocks.

ME TOO!!!!! ME TOO!:thumbsup:

[jwallace378]

Another vote for Horizons:thumbsup:

[wedway76]

Somehow I missed the original Figment ride.

But for me without a doubt it is 20000 Leagues!!!! It was GREAT to ride and almost just as great to watch from the outside. It added a lot of atmosphere to that corner of the park.

You didn't list one that I miss, it's Food Rocks. I was 8 the first time I saw that. I loved it and enjoyed it.Yeah, Food Rocks was good, too.


I am STILL so disappointed that they closed Alien Encounter. :(Personally, I didn't like Alien Encounter, but I do miss it because it was replaced with that God-awful Stitch attraction. :ack:

[Meghan]

I voted for Mr. Toad. Really though, I had little alternative. Growing up in Seattle, we always went to Disneyland. My first trip to WDW wasn't until 2000, and so the only attractions on the list I've experienced are Mr. Toads (technically I did this at DL, but whatev) and Alien Encounter. Of the 2 I prefer Mr. Toad.

[jclightchasr]

I vote for horizons but also miss Dream Flight great poll.

[snerd475]

I voted for the orig Imagination. I really don't like the new version. It was so much more fun and colorful - and not so "talky" - with Dreamfinder (still have my pic of myself with him holding Figment! Now I have a pic of my daughter with a giant Figment - just don't seem right)

I really liked "If You Had Wings", too.

I have a map of the park from my first trip there in 1975 that I put in a scrapbook comparing it with my dd's first trip in 2005. What a difference!

Thanks for the poll. Brought back some memories! :thumbsup:

[Disney-lovin' Dutchman]

I haven't done any of these rides, but I chose the one I regret that I can never see, so I chose Horizons :)

[GrmGrninGost]

For me I miss 20,000 Leagues the most. But Horizons and Mr. Toad are really close behind!

[Walt Lucas]

all i know is Disney would be smart to open a Lost Disney Park with all the above brought back to life for all to enjoy once again. there's no way i can pick just one. Sorry :blush:

[DrWorm2008]

OMG- How COOL would THAT be??!?!? Good idea! :thumbsup:

[scoot241]

I picked Horizons, with a close second being JII.

I would have liked to have seen Communicore on that list, though.

[MinnieMommie]

well isn't that cool! I agree that the Skyway was amazing! :mickey:

[Mickey91]

Mr Toad.

2. would be Horizons
3. would beJourney into Imagination (orig)

[RAIDER]

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea .... it was such fun
I miss the skyway as well :thumbsup:

[monkeycity]

Well, I could list every single attraction that I miss, and I know there are some out there that would criticize me (us) for living in the past, but some of these are connected with childhood memories. They really brought us happiness and when they closed, it was as if a part of me was taken away, never to be seen again. I agree with some of the other posts - let's make a whole park with all the retired attractions/rides. Maybe they'll have those delicious Dole whips that you could get by the Tiki Room and those balloons in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Remember?

I love the theme song to "If You Had Wings." Remember riding the vehicle into the earth at the beginning? Remember feeling like you were taking off and flying in that big screen room? Remember the cop directing traffic with the people and flamingos?

How about actually believing you were driving Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? I was heartbroken if I couldn't drive the blue car. I remember standing in line and trying to count the people ahead of us to see which color we would get to ride. I miss that.

The Tiki Room was one of my all-time favorites. I can remember staring at the tiki poles and trying to figure out how their eyes and lips moved. I even thought that it actually started storming outside when the 'gods became angry.' :blush: And the music was so much better than it was now. Remember when Disney only did original stuff and didn't borrow from other movies/music/etc.??? Walt didn't even believe, for the most part, in trying to get big name stars to do his voices. He used in-house staff. That made it so much more original, in my opinion.

I could go on and on... :old: Skyway, Horizons, Figment, Food Rocks, 20,000 Leagues...

[#1donaldfan]

I chose 20 gs .... it's the first ride I EVER remember riding at Disney !!!!!!!!! I truly miss it.

[laward32]

I had to go with 20,000 leagues. I didn't go to WDW until 2005, but I grew up with Disneyland and I loved that ride. :mickey:

[NJ Camper]

maybe they need a past land like future world but opposite there could be all these old or retired rides for those of us who still love these yeah i love those new faster and movie related rides also but some of these older rides are like disney history and will always have a place in our hearts :mickey:

[tiaramom]

I think I asked this question before - without a response..
But ,
Does anyone remember a show called Captain Emo- ( or something like that)
Micheal jackson was in it??
Was this at Disney?
I thought I remember it being there.
EPCOT?

[Walt Lucas]

Captain eo was a 3d film shown at the imagination pavillion untill "hista" took it's place. it was then moved to the old mickey mouse review was at the magic kingdom, which is where philharmagic is now and yes, it did have Michael Jackson in it.

[javamama]

Well since Delta paid my mortgage I loved Dreamflight:D No I didn't work for them until I was in my 20's, as a kid I loved it. But my all time fav was Mr Toad's Wild Ride, I still love the Mr Toad Movie, and make my 4 yo watch it:D

[splashtest]

Hello....who doesn't miss the Dreamfinder?

[mtown71]

I loved 20,000 Leagues!!!! I got to ride the Nemo one in DL & made me miss it again.

[PETE FROM NYC]

There are too many retired favorites to just pick one.
My choices are,in no particular order:
Journey into Imagination
World of Motion
Horizons
Mickey Mouse Revue
If you Had Wings,and Dreamflight
Superstar Television
Wonders of Life(esp Body Wars}
Probably a few more.

I do NOT miss:
20,000 Leagues
Alien Encounter
Mr.Toad
Captain EO

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

Journey Into Imagination....I miss it every time I ride the new version.

[CU Tiger]

Mr. Toad’s was not the best ride, but it was a classic. I always looked forward to riding it.:mickey:

[kbean]

Horizons and wheel of motion. both were geat and should have stayed.

[ligirlz]

I miss Mr. Toad and the first thing we went to at DL was Mr. Toad and I couldn't count how many times I road it during my stay.

[bruin1344]

Superstar TV was very fun to do especially you and family members got on TV. I was Bonanza twice.

[beksy]

I went with Mr. Toad--so many great memories of this one while growing up! I used to actually think I was driving! :secret: Dreamflight was a close 2nd, though. We would ride it over and over.

[dixielandings]

Sing with me now:

"If we can dream it, then we can do it - yes we can, yes we can..."

Long live Horizons!

If I ever become an Imagineer, I'm leading the charge to raze M:S and bring back this most blessed classic!

[makin_memories]

Mr. Toad is missed by my entire family. :(

Is it true there is a Mr. Toad statue in the pet cemetary of the Haunted Mansion???

[jszczur5]

This one was hard - I only remember Mr. Toad and 20,000 Leagues. I liked both. I voted for Mr. Toad though, because I found the "descent" simulator in 20,000 Leagues to be kind of lame.

[cal5755]

That is another hard one!! I went with the original Figment. I loved that ride and was so disappointed when we went for the first time with our children and it had changed so much.

[Von-Drake]

Had to go with Mr. Toad. 20000 Leagues and Horizons were right behind it though.

[alwaysmickey]

20,000 leagues:number1:

[CraniumCommando]

I miss all of them, but I voted for Horizons.

Cranium Command is another one that is sorely missed (Not that you couldn't have guessed that about me :D )

[CraniumCommando]

Horizons. Thank goodness I have the DVD of the whole ride. When I get sad I watch it. And you sir, have STILL not watched the copy I gave you (Just kidding.....:) )

Is there a DVD of Horizons for sale somewhere?

I wish Disney would make DVDs of all the extinct attractions. I think there would be more than enough interest to support the effort.

[jnfr2424]

Horizons was my favorite I can still smell the orange groves and I miss Dreamflight

[Duchess99]

Since I could only pick one I picked the original Imagination. But Horizons and World of Motion are right there with it!

:ditto:

Along with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
This was a tough one!!

[N2DisneyWorld]

Wow! It was hard to narrow my choice down. There are so many that I miss.

[BritCody]

I miss Mr. Toads Wild Ride

[Von-Drake]

My wife had never been on Mr. Toad's but always heard me talk about it, so lat year we had an opportunity to spend a day in Disneyland when I had to go to California on business. She rode it and loved, got a great pic of her with the Mr. Toad statue in the queue line. There is also a Virtual Toad website out there you can go to , where they are painstakingly recreating the ride virtually on the web. A lot of effort going into it.
