Best Missed Attraction or Parade...

[Walter]

Not only do I think that Horizons is the best past attraction, I think that it is the best attraction ever done, by any company, ever! It has never, and will never be beaten.

Does anyone remember the walk through of the Adventures in Wonderland in MGM? I think it was part of the Backlot tour. I only remember it a little but I loved it and the show on the Disney Channel. :sohappy:

My most missed attraction would defenitely be Journey Into Imagination. I was probably 8 the last time I rode it but I still have very fond memories of it and I also really loved the ImageWorks place upstairs. It was a really well done attraction/post-show (where there was actually something fun to do after the ride was over).
Dreamflight was a good one, too, but for the same reason the PeopleMover is. There was never a wait and it's sooo relaxing.

I have no idea what the name of the parade was, but my parents have an old movie film of the daytime Main Street parade when I was 3 - back in the early 70's. It had the 3 Pigs and Wolf, 7 Dwarfs, and a lot of the other old characters you don't see much. I was so excited to see the Wolf at the Halloween Party a couple of years ago!

Can anyone help me with the name?

threaddrift -- I also miss the days of my family always staying at the Contemporary. When it was one of the only places to stay on property, and wasn't very expensive.

I miss the days when HS had parades. I just seen the Toy Story Parade videos and I love how well they played "Strange Things".

"Mas Que Nada" Does anyone else miss the Jammin Jungle Parade in Animal Kingdom. That was my favorite parade in WDW. When Minnie sang "Pata pata" I always smiled.

I miss the Skyway at the MK. Not so much for the ride itself but for the view of the park and how long it took, especially at night.

I miss the Skyway, too. It was a nice break, especially at night, to relax, see the view, and pop over to the next land, with out having to battle strollers and EVC to get there.

Anyone like SURPIRSE IN THE SKY?

But the all time clasic was that Muppet stage show they had at MGM before the Little Mermade. Animal stealing the monorail is a classic.

I never saw the Muppet Stage show. Animal stealing a monorail? Wonder if there is any video of this somewhere?

I miss the Skyway for the view. This may not be an attraction and I honestly don't know how much I would use it today, but I miss Mickey's Tennis club which was demolished with the CR Garden Wing to build Bay Lake Tower. It was a great place to get a few lessons from a pro on Har-Tru courts and play in the shadows and sounds of the CR and the MK.
