Eastern Ride

[Dog Ate Mouse]

Anyone here remember the ride that Eastern Airlines had in the Magic Kingdom. I remember that ride always getting me dizzy at the very end going through the everglades and such. The chairs remained at a constant slow speed and the projection on the walls made you feel you were going 200 miles and hour.

If You Had Wings. I remember going on that as a kid. That's going way back.

Buzz Lightyear's uses the If You Had Wings ride system. It was sort of a cheesy El Rio with an Omnimover instead of a boat.
It was fun for it's time, but I'm glad it's gone.

^ Heresy! I loved that ride and wish it was still there.

"You DO have wings. You CAN do all these things. WE'll be your wings. Eastern - The Wings of Man."

I went the whole day without that song in my head...nope...there it goes again...if you had wings, had wings, had wings, had wings...

Fond memories of that attraction. Remember the tube room and the birds. Made me so dizzy.

I loved that attraction and also Delta's Dreamflight. Remember, you could buy Eastern tickets there at the attraction?

I miss Dreamflight as well. It was a cool blend of projection and practical scenes, with a tone that shifted from comic, to romantic, to futuristic.
