Disney that could have been, should have been, or almost was.

The Nightmare Before Christmas ride is something Chris Merritt conceived as a portfolio piece before he was hired at Walt Disney Imagineering.

Did anyone catch in the Magic Kingdom section the 'Snow White Mountain' ride that would have been a kiddie coaster through the Seven Dwarves Mine?!

Just think how much money you would need to pull these off the right way and not cutting back for the sake of saving money.

IN the end....I think Tomorrowland should be refocused into Discoveryland

And? As I said when I posted the link, The Neverland Files had not been updated in some time. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was on the way to being a 'never built' attraction when Fantasy Forrest (New Fantasyland) was first announced.

Even Discoveryland has lost its way a bit.

Of all the woulda-coulda-shoulda's that were taken off the WDW plate, Project Gemini for Epcot always seemed liked the biggest whoops. It was interesting, practical, well needed 15(?) years ago. Epcot got left in the dust without it.

I read Imagineer Rolly Crump's really wonderful book "It's Kind Of A Cute Story", and he mentioned the Big Rock Candy Mountain ride that was supposed to be built in Disneyland. A Wizard of Oz scene was going to be built inside the Mountain - the Emerald City - and it sounds like it was going to be amazing. For some reason, the Mountain ride was dropped and Storybook Land Canal Boats was build instead.

You know, a Big Rock Candy Mountain ride could still be built, and themed to Sugar Rush from Wreck-It Ralph. That could be amazeballs.

BTW, if you ever hear bad stuff about Walt and wonder what he was really like, read Rolly's book. You'll then understand what an overall good person Walt was.

Villain Mountain - from the Neverland Files site posted above - sounds awesome! My daughter just asked me the other day why the villains do not have a ride… I had heard about that Volcano/Fire Mountain before and that really would make Adventureland pop…I wonder why so many of these never happened. I think of the recent expansion and sure, for little kids Mermaid ride is nice, but for me, all the time and expense and it really is not that interesting. I had expected a lot more after hearing about it. A lot of the ideas on this list seem more imaginative and unique (and would compete better with Universal…)
