Pirates is going to win this poll in a walk. It is my pick too. May I add that I love just cruising on the transportation boats just for fun at the Boardwalk or Disney Springs.

Most Disney fans never wanted it gone in the first place. You can tell simply by reading these boards and by remembering how long the lines were. It was a mistake to get rid of it, why are people so stubborn to admit this?

Yeah I know, that's even more disappointing. I follow Floyd Norman on social media. He posts a lot of neat stuff, just the type of stuff you'd expect a former Disney animator would post. Recently he posted the tar baby scene from Song of the South and noted how disappointed he was that such a...

So all I am hearing about Tiana is just how inferior it is to Splash. I predicted this from the get go because you simply can't replace a beloved attraction that is among the most popular ever built. It is like doing a remake of "Jaws" or "The Godfather". Without even seeing the movie we know it...

Dang, can you elaborate on that? To each their own of course but these are epic shows almost universally beloved. What is it about them you don't care for?

Haunted Mansion and Pirates are like steak or lobster for me. I think Haunted Mansion is just so immersive and an excellent attention to detail that I just can't overlook it. It's the best ride quite possibly in the world. Now, if this is Disneyland, just based on the length of the Pirates ride...

I was 10 years old and was convinced that the Presidents sitting up there were real. It amazed me. And it still does. I was so happy all of my kids loved the show. Honestly, I thought they might be bored but they weren't. I figured just based on the Walt-created charm that CoP wins this poll...

People in 2024 are so overly offended that someone actually calling them out for bad manners offends them. This is the fruits we have bore in the 21st century unfortunately.

I could have sworn I had done it right when I filled the thread out originally. Either way, a mod seems to have fixed it. Wow, a dominating 13-1 advantage for CoP? Didn't think it would be that big of a difference. Nixon was the first President when it opened in 1971. I've personally seen Bush...

Which show is better in your mind? Or which one do you enjoy the most? This is a tough one, because they are both great shows for different reasons. In a way Walt was behind both of them. We know for sure he created Carousel of Progress since it was at the 1964 World's Fair. But another thing...

Most people agree with you. I do too. So you won't get pushback. Everyone knows how beautiful that part of the park is. Modern Disney is so obsessed with what Universal is doing that instead of actually expanding things (they have land the size of the city of San Fran) they remove the charm that...

We went from Walt not wanting mustaches on his employees to the intentional appearance of Joe Rohde. So yes, Disney's standards overall have dropped.

Stay away from the old River Country location. I've heard of people doing that and then posting it. That's just common sense though. But a normal Disney video on vacation is just what the doctored ordered for them. I would think they'd want a guest highlighting their strengths.

That's some fighting words!

Certainly not my grandparents, who also went in 1973 with my dad. And Walt and Roy couldn't imagine a world like we have in 2024 either. And not in a good way either.

I guess they technically still do have one, and that would be Fantasyland in Disneyland. Most stuff in that land was there in 1955. It is the charm of it. We tend to not appreciate the charm of things anymore and that's why we have this microwave generation of needing to constantly feed an...

In Edmonton, a place even colder than the northeastern U.S., they have an excellent amusement park indoors at West Edmonton Mall. The amusement park is called Galaxyland (it actually used to be called Fantasyland but I think it got changed around the time the internet went mainstream for the...

Who went in 1971? Anyone? My dad went in March of 1973.

I wasn't sure of the exact box office numbers. But it is just bad business to cut out one of your best all-time rides for one that no one asked for. This is why Universal keeps edging closer and closer to Disney's attendance numbers.

Change can work, but you don't cut out one of the best attractions you've ever built for a ride no one was asking for. That isn't smart. In 30 years my grandchildren won't ever have known about Splash Mountain. And that is too bad. It was better. Disney is supposed to keep thriving to be better...
