Name an attraction/ride that's better NOW than the past

[Tom Morrow]

Star Tours is a whole lot better now. Some hardcore Star Wars fans might argue about the time-scheme continuity issues, but... whatever! It's way more fun now with the random element.

it makes more sense than actually blowing up the Death Star!

I'll go with star tours as well. Although I love the original, it had become more of a nostalgia journey. It may be a stretch, but I think the new mine train is a better snow white attraction than the original.

Does changing the queue count? If so I would go with Soarin' because now at least I have something to do whilst I wait, even if said implemented game is very hard to play, lol.
One day I will win the bird race...even if it's the last thing I do....

I will go with Star Tours. Much better now.

However, as soon as we get a new president Hall of the Presidents" will be in the running.

Star Tours. Not that the original one was bad. It was a thrilling and entertaining ride. The randomness is a nice addition, but really the improvement is adding actual Star Wars characters and settings. The original ride made some mention of the Star Wars universe, I think, but the actual scenes were a generic space adventure that could have stood on its own without any Star Wars tie-in.

I completely disagree about Dumbo. Removing that ride from the Fantasyland midway was a huge mistake.

While the location is no longer ideal, doubling its capacity, adding a waiting area inside, and adding a playground were all huge improvements.

I like the changes in the Haunted Mansion especially the attic and the 1st room with the staircases.

The Haunted Mansion. Between the whispering gargoyles, Madame Leota's floating crystal ball, the Escher Staircases and Kat Cressida's performance as the murderous Bride, the Mansion has never looked or sounded better.

It's not really a major overhaul, but once they took the CM away from Living with the Land and replaced it with prerecordes narration, I found the ride to be even more relaxing and enjoyable.

Definitely agree! Much more enjoyable!

My only problem with Star Tours is the overuse of CGI in places that don't need CGI.

Chiefly this:

Was it really too hard to build an actual puppet of Allison Janney-bot?

 

[BrianV]

As much as the nostalgia of "If you had wings" makes me wish it were still there, the space ranger spin is better. Same goes for Mr. Toad / Pooh ride. I miss both of the old ones, but the new ones are measurably better rides.

And star tours, as many have Said, is much better.

 

[BrianV]

Definitely agree! Much more enjoyable!

But I miss the song!

Star Tours is a obvious one. I really enjoy the updated Spaceship Earth also. Making stupid faces for the camera shot never gets old.

This is why we can't have nice things. Kidding...glad you enjoy this aspect of the ride.

I personally despise it and want to hold a sign up in the shape of my head that reads: "remove this concept and fix the effing ending".

 

[AmberFaith90]

I'm gonna cast my vote for Test Track, MINUS the queue! I loved/missed how the queue was before, but the ride itself is improved. I know that's a hot debate item, but that's my two cents.

Yea I really do agree, and thats why I'm glad Lucas is not in charge of star wars anymore. He was just way to in love with CG, like Disney and projection screens.

Dumbo
Snow White (does that count?)
Buzz Lightyear
Country Bear Jamboree (I actually prefer the current version, I just miss devilish Mary)
Ellen's Energy Adventure
O' Canada with Martin Short
Gran Fiesta Tour
Star Tours II

I would have to say that the current 1994 Carousel of Progress is much better than the Now is the Time version.

Now is the Time never was up to par as There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.
