I thought of a few more..
Disneyland Peoplemover, heck even the Rocket Rods.
Discovery Island
Streets of America- those we're so fun to walk around and my family got so many fun pictures there.
Cranium Command because that was around before my time
Main Street Electrical Parade was my FAVORITE parade of all time
Riding in front of the monorail
Original Test Track, I actually really loved the queue, I was younger and I thought it was so cool. And obviously the best part is going around outside, but the original's inside part just had more stuff to look at I feel like. With the new one I never really know what's going on.
The original Journey Into Imagination, never rode it but heard it was a lot better than the current one.
Captain EO
River Country but maybe without the gators and amoebas

Reading through this thread makes me think that our memories of old attractions are SO connected to our personal experience- what was going on in our lives, who we were with, and all that we've heard about them since then.
It also makes me realize that very few of us would probably like the attractions we miss if they were brought back EXACTLY like they were. Technology, interests, immersive placemaking, and storytelling, and even our attention spans have all changed so much since then!

Not so sure of that. I do miss the simpler attractions just as they were. I could still get a lot of enjoyment from the old style things like Mr Toad, 2000 Leagues, Snow White. They were simple, fun to ride and you used your imagination.

Where should I begin?...I am a traditionalist, so I miss the rides that I grew up on in their original forms. I do like ride advances, but I miss Mr. Toad and Snow White at MK. I miss the original voice track on the people mover. What about the Keel boats? I even wish the crazy If You Could Fly/America Has Wings attractions! In addition, while I do like the movies, I wish Captain Jack Sparrow and the movie stuff was out of Pirates. I am fine with the changes to Spaceship Earth and Soarin', but I think test track is lacking in what it once had.

I loved those rides, too. I just think the me of today would be less impressed than the me of the 80's with the plywood cutouts of Mr. Toad. I imagine I'd always be thinking to myself, "You know what they should do to make this better?"

Which is why I would say "Wishes" as my answer. I remember when my parents joined us on a trip when the kids were 2 & 4. Wishes just finished and my dad turned around to me with tears in his eyes (and I had tears in mine). I'm sure we'll be blown away by everything in HEA next week, but it won't/can't have the emotional connection to all my WDW trips that Wishes had - from trips with my folks to looking over at my soon to be 15-year-old and remembering her as a 3-year-old at WDW. She feels it, too, when we're listening to it in the car, even though she listens to songs that have no melody and sound like someone is reading the terms of agreement to a car ad.
I would also agree to the post for 20,000 Leagues since my hubby & kids never got to experience it & it was magical to me as a kid.
I would also add the original Test Track & the original Soarin' & the original Barnstormer.
And I agree with another post for Spectromagic. My hubby is hoping the powers that be are recreating a new version and will surprise us all for the 50th celebration!!! He's wishing on every star for that!
