Delta Dream Flight?

[Figment632]

I only vaguely remeber this attraction so i watched it on youtube. Im just a little confused onto how this attraction fit into tommorow land. If anything for some reason it reminds of WOM. I know that not everything in TL is futuristic like the Laugh Floor but I dont get this one at all???

The way they linked it in was that the "Metro Retro Historical Society" persevered it for your enjoyment. It was more of an Epcot Pavilion kind of ride though. Dreamflight was my favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom though I rode it thousands of times. :wave:

I too loved Dreamflight, a lot. Looking back it was more of an Epcot ride, but at the time it seemed to fit in just fine in Tomorrowland.

Thanks I think thats kind of a stretch but from what I remeber I liked it too.

Or.. it was left from when Delta sponsored Dreamflight, a ride itself being an update of a hastily conceived and built If You Had Wings for Eastern (which in itself became If You Could Fly when Eastern pulled out)

Delta left, Dreamflight became Take Flight - with minimal changes - until someone stumped up the money for another cheap retheme into Buzz Lightyear.

Did they even change the route the car takes for buzz or did they just slap in the cheap targets.

The route is the same as it has been since 1972.

That just seems sad to me

It was kinda fun, but a little short. You were in and out in seconds it seemed.

All before my first exposure to WDW. :shrug:

Every time I ride Buzz I think "this is where the "speed room" was on If you Had Wings" which was it's best part, cept maybe the music. In Buzz it's still there, the only thing different is the film shown on the screen, it's the part where you "Warp" to Zurg's weapon. They still play a version of the original ride music right outside Buzz on the speakers under the TTA.

As for how it fit into the original Tomorrowland? Well it fit about as well as Soarin' fits into The Land. It was just wedged in there as an "ride-merical" for Eastern Airlines. After Eastern came Delta's Ride-merical.

I think Soarin fits in with The LAnd a lot better than this fits into TL.

Definitely was more of an epcot pavilian. Your right.

I enjoyed Dream flight quite a bit, but I dont have nearly as found memories as horizons or wom. It seemed like a cheap version of those attractions
