Projects you're glad were cancelled

[Brer Panther]

What projects for the parks that were cancelled or scrapped are you glad didn't become a thing?

Honestly, I'm glad they reworked the Fantasyland Expansion... the princess and Pixie Hollow stuff just did not interest me at all, and apparently they were gonna turn the Barnstormer into a clown coaster. I loathe clowns...

I'm glad they cancelled the epcot table building and are building a dual sided stage performance space with enclosed meet n greet/exhibition/beverage serving space.

Turning Spaceship Earth into a coaster....horrible idea. One of the reasons Epcot was my favorite park was the lack of coasters and thrill rides. It was all omni mover or boat rides.

Building a coaster in front of the Land pavilion was a terrible idea too, although not as bad as Time Racers. I'm glad Project Gemini didn't happen in general, even though there were a few good ideas in there.

Also glad the Play! Pavilion was cancelled.

Time Racers, Play! Pavilion, Mary Poppins Tea Cup ride, Dick Tracy's Crime Stoppers (because it lead to Indiana Jones at Disneyland), Israel Pavilion, Soviet Union Pavilion, and I think they were looking to replace the Carousel of Progress at one point.

PLAY! pavilion and Dinosaur to Zootopia.

The Festival Center was just a disaster. It’s a shame it wasn’t killed sooner which might have spared the coherent spatial organization of the park.

The Main Street Theater at the Magic Kingdom was the generally right idea, but also a box plopped behind Main Street. It should have been part of a larger Second Street with additional shops and dining so that it could actually handle people waiting for the show, exiting the show and used as a bypass of Main Street.

All of the various projects that have considered killing the Rivers of America.

Replacing “it’s a small world” with a character hide and go seek game. Shame it spread to other parks.

The in-park cabana rentals.

Seconded that New Fantasyland should've been reworked from what was announced...though at the same time, it could've been much more than what did get built.

Trackless Little Mermaid, unabridged Mine Train, a new dark ride in the Snow White space, more room to expand or annex into...these would've done wonders

The ill fated and pointless Cabanas in the former smoking section in Tomorrowland..Who was smoking what thought that was a good idea?

 

[JIMINYCR]

The Iger- Mickey Partners statue that was going in the hub of the 5th park....... Ohhh, my bad. I guess I wasnt supposed to let that one slip out yet.

Poppins Tea Cups

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

Rock N Roller Coaster featuring Olivia Rodrigo.

Not that it was a real project mind you. But the mere discussion on these boards of the viability of such an atrocity was enough to cause me to seek professional help.

There are still random nights where I pop up in bed in a cold sweat and scream out “NO”.

Time racers, project Gemini seemed like a bad idea then but if we could get that makeover today with the cancelation of Time Racers I think I’d take that over World Celebration.

Technically...It's Cosmic Rewind now but, no one seems to be complaining about that...

I would love to have seen some of the side streets like DLP has (only seen it in photos)

Myst Island in the middle of Bay Lake. Not that it would be a terrible idea but just outdated really quickly
