I was wondering if anyone here had any good photos of the animatronic seagulls in the queue/lagoon of 20k? I remember photos of three standing on a rock similar to Disneyland’s Nemo version as well as one nested up in the queue rockwork that could only be seen by cast members apparently. I...

This was discussed recently over on Micechat in the amazing Haunted Mansion thread, but since it relates to WDW I figured it would be appropriate to discuss here as well. Recently LongForgottenHauntedMansion blogger Dan Olson (HBG2) and yensidtlaw1969 unearthed this photo: Which looks almost...

I've recently been reading about how the animatronics for stitch were supposedly lying around the queue before disappearing as well as the Ellen dinos going down with the demolition. I've also been told that Ellen and the Elasmosaurus were destroyed prior to the closing of the attraction. Can...

I know all about River Country and Discovery Island and other past attractions that were abandoned for sometime but fixed up later but are there any places/rides/structures inside the actual parks that are still abandoned today ?

Do you guys miss the Skyway ? Sure it showed the ugly show buildings but I'm sure it was fun to have a ride in the sky. It closed before I was born so I was never able to ride it but it looked like fun. The tangled restrooms that replaced it do look pretty nice but I wish they could've reused...

The Burning Settler's Cabin has always been a favorite site on Tom Sawyer's Island but the burning effect has been gone for years. Many early pictures how the cabin looking rather nice despite being on fire with some plant life around it. Several images show the yard in disrepair however...

I remember going to see this show when I was younger in 2003 and although I don't remember much, I do remember it raining on the audience during the storm scene with the ship near the beginning. In fact it terrified me so much that I hid under my seat and it's all I remember about the show. I...

I was wondering if anyone misses the old version of Kilimanjaro Safari with the Big red/Lil red story ? I feel like it had a strong important message about poaching that should've stayed. Let's look back on the effects/props that were removed along with the story. First up is Big red who was...

I was wondering, what your favorite "Lost" effect is ? as in any effect that you forgot about that was there (or you it thought existed but it didn't) or maybe was removed very early on in the attractions life ex: Hatbox Ghost. P.S. Someone will most likely bring up King Louie again lol but this...

I'd like to share some forgotten effects/animals from the Jungle Cruise. I'm not entirely sure where these figures are now or when exactly they were removed so feel free to comment and add on if I missed any other effects. Photo Credits go to Widen Your World. Crocodiles attacking Horn-bill...

Thought it would be fun to share some secrets about Big Thunder. Most of the animals you see are a reference to Disneyland's original Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland ride and could very well be the same figures just re skinned. Here's a couple examples Mr. Bobcat and the pigs...

Lots of the older rides are known for having these. I believe some of the scariest ones are the numerous witches in the Snow White ride before it got updated. They used to move very fast and legitimately scare you when they popped out.

It's so sad that Disney just trashed a beautiful ride like this. Sure it was deteriorating but that was their own fault. I would love to see some pictures of any props or other items besides the subs (Which I know ended up in a landfill) that survived the demolition of this remarkable ride.

I thought it would be cool to talk about AA's from old rides that were reused in newer ones. I'll start with a couple including some before and after pics for your enjoyment :) 3 Caballeros from Mickey Mouse Revue now in Gran Fiesta tour The Vultures from Snow White's Scary Adventures are...

I know this has been talked about many times before but I'm wondering does anyone have an actual picture of this guy ? I believe he existed due to the blueprints for the area and a noticeable turn of the doombuggies where he supposedly was. I've heard from a guy who worked maintenance at the...

I thought it would be cool to talk about some effects that are no longer present in rides. This is more about actual effects or Animatronics than scenes. I'll start with a few from my favorite ride The Haunted Mansion. Sinister 11 portraits Hands on the doors Stationary Leota Old bride and...

It's been 10 years now since the attic has been changed and I feel like it really deserves another update to bring it back to it's true creepiness. Constance is boring and really annoying with her chatter. The effect looks fake and the attic is too bright now which allows you to see things you...

I thought it would be cool to document the remnants of former attractions. I know Disney likes to add tributes to the old rides in the new ones but I find the actual remnants more interesting. There's obviously a ton so feel free to reply and even update on the status of them Discovery river...

I know you all know about the ride itself and the Iguanadon, dragon cave, etc but there are some other elements you may have forgotten about. In fact hardly any pictures or videos exist of these except what I'm showing you. -Unicorn statue was reported to be just before the CMM bridge. The...
