I agree all the way! Though Horizons may have just been a pavilion to the average person, it was so much more than that, and so was the ride itself. It suffered the worst fate, and it was on Dinsey property. How rediculous?!
Anyways...
Yes it's all good about IASW. Now when I saw that 20K website, it really made me want to see the ride come back. We know it won't come back due to money, time, effort, and capacity. Remember the new "Disney" idea is to get out of making both disneyland u.s.a. and disney world a classic place.
I would like to see the lagoon fully restored. I would also like to see the sets, and props fully restored or replicated. This would of course be done with the latest technology. Rather than a sub ride, what about a walk through glass tubed ride with omnivoers or conveyerbelts? The old sea cabs at EPCOT are coming back, and I have been on one of those conveyrbelts at sea world and it was neat.
I'm not sure if I would go to the extra length of adding real aqautic life, but I don't know. The ride would still be 20K under the sea, but for nostalgic purposes, I wonder if there is ANY remaining intact sub that can be restored and left outside with sepcial presrvative paint, and allow guests to enter and exit the sub at their own will, with a plaque explaining what the original ride was like and what the subs were like.
Personally I think fantasyland in both disneyland u.s.a. and disney world should be rides that strictly involve the animated movies that were made during walt's life. the rest of the lands', sqaures, parks, and towns, or what have you can focus on more modern movies both live and animated, or a mix, but I think just fantasyland should be one nostaglic place, becuase you don't have to be 80 something eyars old to appareciate the true disney animated classics.
