Hi all,
So I just finished reading the thread: "Hidden/Secret/Unknown/Unseen Disney List" and it made me think if there were any other fun Disney details that I could remember. But then I remembered certain show elements that have been removed or changed from current attractions. I could think of about five things:
So I just finished reading the thread: "Hidden/Secret/Unknown/Unseen Disney List" and it made me think if there were any other fun Disney details that I could remember. But then I remembered certain show elements that have been removed or changed from current attractions. I could think of about five things:
- The jumping fish from the first indoor scene in Splash are no longer there. (I miss these most of all. They gave that scene more energy and made it more exciting.)
- They no longer take your picture when the elevators doors first open in Tower. It used to be that the photo was shown in the giant eye when the elevator slides into the 5th dimension. Now the same generic picture is used in the eye each time. The photo made it more fun to ride! It was another oppertunity to make a silly pose!
- When Dinosaur was still Countdown to Extinction, the time rover would pause before the first dino to lunge at the vechile and you would hear a voice say that the vechile lost power. Now when the time rover pauses you hear "loss of traction" but you neither feel nor hear tires spinning. The first phrase better fit the attraction.
- Actually that attraction just seemed more fun in 1998. The name "Countdown to Extinction" was sooo much more exciting than, "Dinosaur"... and the Dino Institute looked more real without the huge "Time Rover Exhibit" banners. There was a greater sense of adventure because you couldn't tell what to expect from looking at the seemingly tame Institute from the outside or from the queue.
- And correct me if I'm wrong but the shaking bridge before the elephant habitat on the sarfari no longer shakes...
