Which Atrraction Do You Miss the Most?

[NJGIRL]

Not counting revamped attractions, which attraction that is totally gone from the theme parks do you miss the most?

Mine is Food Rocks. Although it wasn't anything hi tech I still enjoyed this attraction alot. It had catchy songs and a feel good vibe. I feel it took alot of imagination to come up with the whole show combining the music and the lesson on eating heathy.

Don't get me wrong I love what replaced it but I wish Food Rocks still existed.

[MuchLovedMama]

Horizons - Loved the smell of the oranges. Yummy!

[Marilyn Michetti]

The Timekeeper

Tarzan Rocks

The live show in the Saloon. (Nobody asked me, but I sure don't understand getting rid of the dancing girls for that "sit and giggle" thing).:mad:

[NJGIRL]

It's funny because I remember riding Horizons many many times but I don't remember the orange smell. I guess it just goes to show you how different details are important to different people.

I liked the Timekeeper also. I only saw it twice because after that it was always closed when we were there.

[JuicyMoose17]

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

and

Food Rocks

[sorcerer fan]

world of motion and the timekeeper and the if I had wings.

[Rhetoric2000]

My vote would have to go with the original Journey into Imagination. As a kid at the time it represented a distilled version of the disney experience - the world that it created was quite different from anything I'd seen before.

Among all the votes for Food Rocks I feel rather old in my preference for Kitchen Kabaret.

With my now-grown-up eyes I'd love to ride World of Motion one more time (which obviously as a kid was somewhat boring to me).

Acually it seems like the thing I miss most is old-school EPCOT Future World in general.

(PS COMMUNICORE!!!!)

[TKDONALD]

Mr. Toads Wild Ride

[Von-Drake]

Awwww man what a hard question. Since I can only pick one...

MR TOAD'S WILD RIDE.

It one easily, but I have a lot of ties for second:
- 40,000 Leagues Under the Sea
- Horizons
- Skyway
- If you Had Wings

[Jasper]

Oh WOW!! I had completely forgotten about Kitchen Kaberet!! That was SUCH A GREAT SHOW!!

I also loved the show at the saloon as well. (wish I could remember the name)

My other great favorite was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!

I also thoroughly agree with your thoughts on the original feel and make up of Future World in general at Epcot.

[luvdiznee]

Tarzan Rocks. :secret:

[bruin1344]

Mr. Toad - was my favorite ride in fantasyland

Superstar TV - it was fun to be on fake tv shows, everyone in my party enjoyed it, i was bonanza twice

[SpecJoe Magic]

I also loved the show at the saloon as well. (wish I could remember the name)

You might be thinking about the Diamond Horseshoe Review in Frontierland.

Horizons is what I miss the most.

[passholderryan]

Have to agree with Horizons and the smell of oranges. When I was a kid, I never like watching the China movie in World Showcase. I use to ride on the double-decker buses that went around World Showcase while everyone else watched the movie. One lap around was about the run time of the movie. Not sure what they were called, but the overhead carts that took you from Space Mountain to Fastasyland was good. Now its stroller parking.

[dumbo_buddy]

Captain Eo!!!

[WinnipegDisneyFanatic]

No question...Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! :thumbsup:

Chris :hatter:

[BigRedDad]

20,000 Leagues and Mr Toad's Wild Ride

[biodtl]

On a purely nostalgic note, it would be If You Had Wings - I absolutely adored that as a child - especially the "speed room."

But the Skyway and Mr. Toad are up there, too.

[ibrowse17]

20K Leagues Under the Sea for me, with Horizons second:thumbsup:

[4ubie1]

World of Motion gets my vote :thumbsup:

[Imagineer1981]

My vote would have to go with the original Journey into Imagination.

couldn't agree more, and also Mr. Toad, El Rio De Tiempo

[Arnold Simba]

My most Missed Attraction: Horizons (by a long shot) Miss the orange groves, which along with the fires of burning Rome at Spaceship Earth, was a great Disney touch for the sense of smell. Plus the huge Omnimax Loop was mind-blowing. Too bad Disney didn't keep Horizons and update it periodically.

Runners-Up: World Of Motion, both Communicores, Skyway to Tomorrowland, 20000 Leagues Under The Sea, Anacomical Players (at the Wonders Of Life Pavilion), Journey Into Imagination.

[Goofster]

The Timekeeper - :(

I'll also miss Cranium Command.

[GrmGrninGost]

20,000 Leagues under the Sea, followed closely by Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Horizons! :( I miss them very much!

[disneygeek84]

Horizon's, hands down. Except I called "The Boy That Lost His Shoe" because of that one scene in space. I also really miss Mr Toad's Wild Ride...even though Pooh is a really cute ride, too :mickey:

[A Foolish Mortal]

Definitely Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... it was my favorite Fantasyland ride, and I loved being able to ride it still at Disneyland.

[Rich Mc]

Skyway was one of my favorite rides. Simple but what a view.:blush:

[PixiePrincess]

I would have to say I miss the original Journey into Imagination the most, along with it's post-show area (the rainbow tunnel especially)!!!

[BritCody]

This is easy, for me it is Mr. Toads Wild Ride

[dsnyfan001]

I really miss Horizons, that was my favorite ride when I was a child, I couldnt wait to get to the part when i got the chance to smell the oranges! I was soooo sad when it closed down. What a bummer.:(

[wdwfansince75]

I miss them all, but Horizons leads the list. The orange grove on Soaring and the ability to pick your future on the new Spaceship Earth re-trigger those memories.

Also miss World of Motion, the Skyway, 20,000 Leagues, and, of course, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. For special memories, I miss If You Had Wings, but love its replacement.

[AlliMo]

HORIZONS!!!
runners up...
world of motion
mr. toad
diamond horseshoe
cranium command
superstar tv

[amd780]

Horizons, World of Motion, the original Journey into Imagination, and this one has been gone for a very long time...Kitchen Kabaret! "Veggie veggie fruit fruit!" lol :mickey:

[Capt. Sparrow]

The complete Backlot Tour. I love movies and I really enjoyed (and miss) the longer version of the tour.:mickey:

[RocknBev]

Mr. Toad and 20,000 Leagues

Hey everybody...thanks for jarring my memory with some of those great attractions from the past! Too bad Disney can't keep them all uh?:thanks:

[CuteAsMinnie]

MR. TOAD:fit:

[laward32]

I miss 20,000 Leagues under the sea, Mr. Toads Wild Ride and the skyway.
I remember riding the skyway at DL when I was a little girl. It always freaked me out but it was so fun.:mickey:

[beksy]

It's a 3-way tie for me between Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (When I was little I thought I was actually driving the car!), Delta Dreamflight, and the Diamond Horseshoe Revue Show in Frontierland (I made my parents take me every day on every trip!). :thumbsup:

[GoBlueLacheta]

I know technically Alien Encounter is revamped with lovable stich buttt. i think its still my fav thats not around

[Polynesian Dweller]

Kitchen Kabaret and Horizons. They made Epcot special.

[Georgesgirl1]

I would have to say I miss the original Journey into Imagination the most, along with it's post-show area (the rainbow tunnel especially)!!!

This is my vote as well! With Horizons in a close second.

[joonyer]

Mr. Toad's wild ride and 20K Leagues under the Sea, are the old ones I miss the most.

[Tinkerbella16]

World of Motion was my favorite as a kid surprisingly.

Horizons would come in a very close second. I really dislike MS :ack:. i think they could have done something better with that area.

[Daisy'sMom]

Horizons followed by World of Motion. At MK, it would be 20,000 leagues and I loved the original shows at Hollywood Studios!

[dan864]

I miss the sky way at Mk,that was great on a hot day,also the show,from the lion king,it used animatronics,i cant remember the name of that show,it was at epcot,i loved that show.
i think it closed around 98/99.

if anyone knows the name of that show,please send me a PM with the name,so i can look it up

[slegrant]

Tough Question! But if I can only pick one, it would be the Skyway from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland. As a kid my parents, sister's and I used to try and time our ride on the Skyway with the fireworks. On more than one occasion the Skyway would stop right over Fantasyland and we would get to watch the whole show.

It's a toss up for 2nd place between Mr. Toads wild ride and Horizons:mickey3:

[Marceline]

HORIZONS!!! :sob: This ride truly was an awesome wonder to me.:sad:

It went hand in hand with the World of Motion and the original Journey Into Imagination. Those rides made EPCOT very special. Even though EPCOT Center wasn't exactly as Walt envisioned it, those rides had a touch of him within them. They truly were excellent displays of animatronic technology and were filled with so much hope and wonderment.
What they have become is quite painful.:( WHAT were the knuckle heads who decided to rip them out and thinking??:huh:
Out dated my foot.:mad:

I guess I am just lucky to have able to experience them when I did. I miss them so.....especially Horizons......If You Can Dream It, You Can DO It. wow :crying:

[WEDTOPIA]

There are several things I miss equally , so I'll have to go with a 3-way tie - Horizons, Journey into Imagination ( the original of course ), and World of Motion.
Ah yes , Epcot- The Early Years........

:mickey:

[VolMickey]

From MK, I'd have to say the skylift and 20k Leagues :(

[goofy89]

I miss Alien Encounter :(

[Gator]

I miss the Alien Encounter. I really don't like Stich in the ride.

[Arnold Simba]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Horizons, World Of Motion, and Journey Into Imagination were destroyed - to be replaced by action rides like Mission Space and Test Track, as well as gutting JII and turning it into Imagination Institute - revamping its theme and replacing The Dreamfinder with a more "hip" Eric Idle. On this occasion, I feel Disney changed things for the worse. Change: I'm beginning to become sick of the word. It's become the 21st Century mantra. Now I've received some harsh criticism from some quarters for my post regarding the movie additions to POTC. Some people embrace rides like Horizons, WOM, and JII as classics. Some feel it's time to change ("that" word again) with the times: Hence you have MS, TT, and II - which cater to a younger crowd, the oncoming generation. I must admit that I'm a bit piqued at Disney that when they do change things, they seem to ignore the present and especially the past/older generation in their designs.

[RAIDER]

I am with the majority ..I only went on it once but 20,000 Leagues was such fun :thumbsup:

[Young@Heart]

It's a tie between 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. :(

[AdventurerKim]

I miss almost everything they've changed or taken away: Mr. Toad, Skyway, World of Motion, Horizons, original Journey Into Imagination, Horizons, and Cranium Command! 20,000 Leagues wasn't my fav, but they could have replaced it with something better than that Pooh playground. I thought it could have been a LIttle Mermaid ride "Under The Sea" or even a Nemo sub ride like in DL.

[3Cabsfan]

Can't limit it to just one...Horizons, Kitchen Kabaret, and the original Tiki House. I know change is good sometimes but not just for the sake of change. Someone mentioned the old penny arcade/magic shop on Main Street. That was a huge mistake when it came to changing those out! I am sure Walt would not agree with that move. Main Street is all about the feeling and not just selling clothing.

[jefmblrd]

1. Horizons
2. Original Imagination ride
3. 20K
4. Backstage at MGM with the walking tour and the working studios, etc.

[jonahbear2006]

I remember all of this stuff, and I didnt even know I did until I started reading this thread. Wow. such a bummer. I miss all this stuff. I have to say I really wish I could take my Family on 20000 leagues and I do remember thinking, hey kids lets go see figment and thinking that was great, and then doing it and the rest of my family looked at me like,"what were you thinking. that wasn't as fun as you made it sound." I didnt realize it was different. It has just been too long for me. :-(

and........to add to the pooh playground. I hate all the playgrounds. They are a wasted space if you ask me and I don't like my kids running around like that at disney, I have 4 little ones and only 2 of us.

[Dawnya]

We've only been going for the last 12 years and there have only been a few rides shut down for good, most of them have just been revamped. The one I miss the most is Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (we have never been big Pooh fans).

[pittsburgh12]

Horizons And World of Motion!!!

[passholderryan]

The Backlot tour used to be so good. Being able to walk through those soundstages was neat. I remember walking through and seeing them film Wheel of Fortune. This had to be in the earyl-mid 90's. They removed all the old sets (Golden Girls house). Not sure if they moved them anywhere else and may be daving them for something else. How about Captain EO. I just watched that on youtube the other day, not as good without the 3-D glasses.

[Trixietink]

mr.toads wild ride!!!!

[texasteacher]

I miss Horizons, If You Had Wings, and the original Figment ride because of the great beginning with Dreamfinder and Figment.

[Stu29573]

Well, lets's see...

20K Leagues under the Sea is the one that pops to mind first, but there are many others.

I think with 20,000 Leagues the problem is that nothing came in to replace it. Tony Baxter said that you always have to go one better when you remove something. Now, I understand that many times they don't get it quite right, but they didn't put ANYTHING in to replace 20,000 Leagues! At least they could have tried!

Ok, I'm off the soapbox now.....

[EeyoresBestFriend]

Mr Toad's Wild Ride and I don't think I'll EVER get over losing all the animators/imagineers at DHS.:sob:

[MickeyChick]

The original Imagination ride and Mr. Toad.

[BandMan]

Mr Toad's Wild Ride and I don't think I'll EVER get over losing all the animators/imagineers at DHS.

I couldn't agree more. The coolest thing about going to DHS was seeing concepts for upcoming movies and seeing what the characters would look like. You felt like you were in on the planning (sigh...)

[Mad About Mickey]

For me it's the attractions that were there in my childhood, Mr. Toads Wild Ride, If You had Wings, Mission to the Moon, The Skyway, Circle Vision 360, Mike Fink's Keel Boats, & the Swan Boats :(.

[Mousemates]

Mr. Toad....glad its still at DL.

[Wickster1970]

Horizons!!
with Cranium Command coming in a close second.

[Trixietink]

Mr.Toads Wild Ride!:mickey:

[minnesotafreeze]

Captain Eo:mickey:

[DISFREAKS]

I may be in the minority but I miss Who wants to be a Millionaire Play It. I was such a geek for that game.
I also miss the skyway and the original backlot tour. Also the Hunchback of Notre Dame Show. It was SOOOO good.

[kemps@wdw]

Loved the Skyway in MK :cloud9:
Captain EO was prett cool (then):thumbsup:
Would like to see an updated version of 20,000
Leagues (don't they have something like that
in DLC w/Nemo?):thumbsup:
But my all time missed fave would be :heart:
would have to be The Main St Electrical Parade:number1:

[Cheloconnell]

For me it is definitely Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I definitely also miss the old Figment and also cannot get Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit out of my head :mickey:

[arteephact]

#1- Hands Down is Horizons - just before park closing I would go there and try to get in three rides to see all three movies (Desert was the best)

#2- Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

#3 - Journey into Imagination with Figment & Dreamfinder with the full upstairs area open.

#4 - The Skyway

[stormy57]

I would have to go with Horizons and a close 2nd Delta Dream Flight:mickey:

[Mickey91]

1. Main Street Electrical Parade
2. Mr Toad's Wild Ride
3. Skyway
4. Horizons
5. World of Motion
6. Original Journey into Imagination
7. Cranium Command
8. Delta Dream Flight

[c&d]

The skyway. I loved sitting there watching the world go on below. It was the TTA taking flight.

[ariel326]

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and when Walter Cronkite narrorated SpaceShip Earth.:mickey:
