Ever miss an attraction?

This isn't really a ride, but I miss the original upstairs ImageWorks. I loved it when I was a kid! There was a thing where you could put on costumes and choose a movie you would be in in front of a green screen. There was an instrument room (sort of like the thing they have now where you stand on the lights and it plays music) but it was in it's own seperate room and I remember it being much more immersive. I think there was also a thing where when you talked it made lights come on? But, I can't really remember all of it anymore. I do know that when I took my kids I was disappointed that the same experience was not there for them. When I went back with my daughter in 2008, I was disappointed to learn it was gone. And, now the area is just decripit. It makes me sad to know what it once was and how much fun I had there :oops:

Tapestry of Nations, the Wonders of Life pavilion, Snow White, and the old Epcot even though I never got to ride the rides except Imagination once. And the original Test Track

I also liked Millionaire, so did DH. Horizons & World of Motion I miss as well. But my favorite ride as a kid was 20K Leagues Under the Sea. I wish as an adult I could ride it again!
It's worth the trip out to DL to see the Nemo Subs. Yeah, it's an expensive trip, but really worth saving up if you can possibly manage it, even if it means skipping WDW (if not a local AP holder) for a few or more years.

In answer to the OP question, Horizons, World of Motion, Original(first) Journey into Imagination, 20K Leagues, and Mission to Mars. Mission to Mars was campy for sure, but the conversion to Alien Encounter and Stitch is just downright horrible.

I also miss having a CircleVision in the MK. Laugh Factory is just lame.

Epcot is a hard sell now based on so many cool things being taken away, or ruined in favor of change and left stagnant/dated (Ellen).
I haven't been on the new test track, but really, most people drive faster than that on a weekend or even during a daily commute.

I am extremely happy about the Tiki Room being fixed ,the continued support for Carousel of Progress, Country Bears, and Hall of Presidents. While they are considered minor by a lot of people, they are really what keep me coming back whenever the opportunity allows.

My #1 missed attraction would be the previous version of SSE with the Jeremy Irons narraration with the show scenes on the descent. Also Horizons and WOM. I am happy having TT and MS, but I still miss the old attractions.TK was another a favorite of mine and I would like to be able to see it just one more time. I tried to video the show years ago and my camera was almost taken away by an aggresive CM.

One ride that I am glad has gone to the great themepark in the sky is 20K. It was an interesting ride, but loading and unloading and the capacity were issues and I hated the constant smell of diesel fumes. On some days the fumes were horrible. I have not been on the new redition @ DL and I know many of those issues were corrected.

I miss Pirates with the pirates chasing the women on the turntables, not the real nonsense that is the women chasing the pirates with broom, the other way around.
Then again, I also miss the dad in the first scene of CoP tellling Sara to just iron the wrinkles out of his shirts and her saying "Yes, dear."
It was a sign of very often how things were, which was a key part of Carousel of Progress and how we have indeed progressed to the dad in the kitchen. I wish Grandma's eyes would blink though.

Definately -> Mr Toad's Wild Ride, 20000 leagues under the sea, River Country (Water Park) Discovery Island, Honey I shrunk the Kids 3D though the movies didn't stand the test of time the 3D movie in itself was fun.

Though a DisneyLand trip later this year for a wedding in California would allow me to ride the first two again (yet not the same).

can't say I do :/ will miss Snow White though. Always ran to this straight after Wishes as that is the only time there was no line at all.

Horizons (the smell of oranges), Kitchen Kabaret (Mr. Broccoli w/ the sunglasses and your hostess, Bonnie Apetit)...and River Country long before TL and BB. Those were the days!

I miss something every day!
(I even have a thread about it in Past Attractions.)

And pretty much even the things I didn't really love(Original Living Seas, Energy, Body Wars) still had something awesome about them, that is missing in the World today.

And yeah, I miss Toad too. I loved the gypsy track more than the farm track, but I still loved riding them both!
So long spooky claustrophophic dark rides.

Mr. Toad without a doubt. They should of put winnie the pooh where snow white was and kept what was the best dark ride wdw had. Horizons also, but i do really like mission to space. A huge one is miss is the original backlot tour, where you saw animators and all the houses from movies. I dont know why they got ride of body wars and that pavilion, it was fantastic. I think of all of them Toad could come back very easily.

Yeah the original Backlot tour was great. Now it's so short. It really feels rushed towards the end of the ride. The houses were neat the first time through to see but there really was no excitement to that part of the ride. Expanding on Catastrophy Canyon section would be cool really bringing the audience into the movie experience. But then again "if" they bring Carsland to HS they do have all that room where the houses were located as well as the Lights Motor Action stunt show area. The stunt show would fit well with the Cars / HS Theming.

20000 leagues under the sea, without a doubt. Loved riding it and loved watching it especially at night.

Unfortunately I never got to ride it. :( I had heard about it and seen videos, was looking forward to experiencing it, but it was shut down shortly before our very first Disney visit.
