Hope for Horizons fans

[WDW-Imagineer]

Just read this from the Disney "Pardon our Dust " page.


While the Horizons building may be going away, you can look for more than 1,000 props and other show elements from the pavilion to appear in other attractions worldwide, from Walt Disney World Resort to Tokyo DisneySea," says Mike Lentz, director of attractions development for WDI. "Much of the building itself will be recycled following the demolitions process, which will take place over the next five months."

Not suprising...they do that all the time...the old dreamfinder baloon rig is in the epcot gears shop....the chickens from world of motion are in toontown (goofys coaster)...

I love that they do that...it keeps our eyes open to find all the old stuff in new places...

I hadn't noticed the old balloon rig in the gear shop . Where is it exactly?

That is such cool news! I have missed Horizons since the day it closed....it's been my favorite since my first trip to WDW. I'll be keeping an eye out for those mementos

I noticed it there a couple of trips ago, I took a picture, I'll see if I can get it up here. If you are standing at the cash registers, turn around and look high up on the wall, over to the left. If my memory suffices, that is where it is.

Awesome! Thanks kevlightyear! I'll keep my eyes open for it when I'm there in September...

They need to put a little of Horizons in every new Disney ride....so now there can be hope that Horizons can bring it's awesomeness to others

Wow! Interesting pic! I don't know how many timess I've been in there and looked at that and not seen it as the DreamFinder's ballon. I guess I didn't recognize it without the ballon on top of it! Thanks for the pic!

Nice!! Thanks for the info, guys!! Good to know there will be a part of Horizons left somewhere in Disney....has anyone spied a piece in WDW?

 

[WDW-Imagineer]

The page said in the next 5 months or so, so they should start showing up soon.

 

[Disney Maniac]

Instead of Hidden Mickeys, we've got ourselves Hidden Horizons. We should get a count from a CM to see how many pieces are hidden about. Make an interesting little game for us forumites, eh?

Still love you though.
