1986: An Imagineering Competition - HYPE THREAD

[Brer Panther]

Does our favorite now-closed attraction have to be one that we actually went on? If not, I'm going with the original Journey Into Imagination. They were stupid for changing it.

If it does indeed one that we've actually went on... I'm not sure, honestly. Does the original Test Track count?

Soarin Over California... still strange to think of as an “extinct” attraction...

Question of the Day
What is your favorite long-lost attraction?​

Ok, I have two, first one is my fav I never rode, and my second is my fav that I actually ride.
So, #1: Horizons. There is just something about it that's so wonderful, so awesomely futuristic, and so amazing that I can't believe it was a real thing. Every little detail looked incredible. I honestly have never seen anything like it, truly something special.
For #2, it has to be the original Test Track (UoE comes in a close second). Man, I was in love with that ride as a little kid. It's what jump-started my love for Epcot before I knew about the classics. I literally cried when I heard they were changing it. I'll never forget the sounds of machinery and crunched test dummies!

What is your favorite Parks original character?​

Sonny Eclipse is the obvious one here, but I think he’s actually tied with Dr. Grant Seeker on Dinosaur. I can quote every line from dinosaur verbatim it’s just so fun, and the pun in his name is too good

Question of the Day
What is your favorite Parks original character?​

Figment, easily. He is such an inspired idea for a character, and still has such charm to him.

This is my exact answer with Figment as a close third lol

I'll add the Hairy Legged Pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean to the list!

I don't known if he has a canon or fanon nickname, but I've always called him Harry lol

I absolutely love the Prison Dog from POTC. It’s just so cute and one of my favorite scenes from the ride

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out!

That... is actually much better than I thought it'd be.

All the voice acting has been top notch so far!

Nigel Channing. I love to watch his no nonsense attitude succumb to the god of chaos that is Figment.
