Favorite unbuilt concept

Ok lets see...
1. Fire Mountain is ment to be a roller coaster ride through a volcano. Some of the theming ideas have been switched back and forth, but I believe at one point it was supposed to be themed to Atlantis (not the movie however, this idea I believe precedes this.)
2.Bald Mountain is esentially villian mountain, which would be some sort of flume through a mountain featuring disney villians.
3. Western River expedition is Pirates of the Carribean with Cowboys.
4. The little mermaid ride was designed for the apris park and left unbuilt after funds depleted. It would be a short, traditional syle dark ride with an inverted track like peter pan where you would ride in shells. I understand the effects were to be spectacular.
5. The beauty and the beast fell under the same financial barrier that baried mermaid, and was to be an AA show like AE or Stitch, just obviously not invlving an escape or simular breath taking effects that those attractions have featured.
6. One time rumored new pavilion for Epcot with little other information available.
7. A spiderman style ride at one time rumored to replace SSE. It was one part of the fabled project gemini.
8. And the great muppet movie ride was essentially to be a spoof on the great movie ride featuring the muppets.
Hope that clears things up.
Oh, and for those who don't know, beastly kingdom was at one time planned for AK and was to carry a fantasy theme with the main attraction being an inverted coaster through a dark castle climaxing with a close encounter with a nasty dragon. A maze to find the land of the unicorns and a fantasia boat ride were to be involved as well.

I went with Other...
My favorite unbuilt concept was the monorail expansion from Epcot to Downtown Disney, The Epcot Station was built to be 'mirrored' on the other beam. The same entrance ramp and elevator was to be used allowing guest to go to the left or right at the top, to the left would take guest to Downtown Disney and loop back to the current station. The beam was to be split to pass between the Horizons and Universe of Energy....
I have a picture someplace of the map the was up at the Epcot Outreach Center in Commincore West

villain fifth gate/ beastly kingdom
This may have been incarnated in Stormriders at Tokyo DisneySea, which is an excellent attraction. By far the best of the simulators.EpcotGirl said:
TDS also has a Little Mermaid attraction - it's a show not a ride through where the characters (full size) swim above you and the audience is "under water," so to speak. It's excellent also.
TDS also has a ride through a volcano. Awesome.
Oh, and there's a "hint" of Beastly Kingdom at IOA with the line-up area for the dragon ride.
So some of these things do get built somewhere sometime.

I voted "Other" and the "Other" is for Discovery Bay.
I know that it's a land and not an attraction, and as Tomm4004 has pointed out, parts of this were built at DLP and to some extent at TDS.
If I had to pick an attraction I would say Discovery Mountain (from DLP) at it's craziest, which again became Mt Prometheus at TDS.
But I agree with Connor002. I would like to see all of them built at different parks around the world. WRE would be a great fit for DLP's rumoured flume ride.

Great Topic!!
Even though I dont know half of the things on the list, but would like to know more..
The only one that seemed familiar was Beastly Kingdom and I think it would be a great addition.
