If you had Wings vs. Dreamflight vs. Buzz Lightyear SRS

[ChrisFL]

Which one is your favorite?

I have to go with Dreamflight...partially because I was too young to remember If you had wings (IYHW?) and I have a DVD of it but it didn't seem that great.

Some people have said that Dreamflight wasn't very good, but I disagree, I think they clearly made some good effort to retain some of the humor and appeal that a ride like World of Motion had.

Buzz...good idea, bad execution...they really improved upon this in the other Buzz versions around the world now...and they really need to upgrade this one to those standards at least.

I am going with Dreamflight myself... I do enjoy Buzz, but, like you said, bad execution... It is fun, but the show scenes are, I don't know the right words here, tacky... There could have been better show scenes and AAs... This ride should be on the same level as MIB, but, sadly, MIB is better... MIB does not look cheap... Buzz is filled with cheap cardboard cutouts... I'll ride it and have fun, but, I can't say it was better than Dreamflight...

Dreamflight. That was a pretty cool ride. Reminds me of WoM.

The first two never fit in TL (the mertro retro stuff doesn't work) and Buzz is a cheap carnival attraction compared to it's counterpart in DL.

Buzz needs tons of help to bring it up to snuff with its brothers(TSM and MIB), but I prefer it over the two previous inhabitants of the building.

I like Buzz but of the three I would have to go with IYHW. There seemed to be more of a partnership with Disney when Eastern was the official airline of WDW. We used to fly Eastern when I was a kid and I remember listening to Disney music on the plane and watching Disney movies as well. The characters used to meet you at the gate also. The ride was free so we used to go on it all the time. I guess a big part of it is nostalgia.

Buzz is definitely my fav. I don't remember IYHW, but I do remember Dreamflight and Take Flight. Both of those were fun, but never really fit the theme of Tomorrowland. I do admit that the Dreamflight song was catchy...

Since Buzz's 10th Anniversary is coming up, I'd like to see some improvements made, especially improving the scenes and adding detachable guns and online interactivity like in Astro Blasters at DL. You do have to take into account that SRS is the ORIGINAL shooting gallery ride, so that's why technology wize, it's not the most advanced...

Oh, and you forgot about If You Could Fly and Take Flight in the poll... :hammer:

Dreamflight was my favorite Magic Kingdom attraction when I was little. It still would be if it were open today. Buzz is just a heap of cardboard. Delta Dreamflight was so relaxing and the music was lovely.

I didn't forget them, but lets face it, they were basically just renamed attractions from what I recall, oh and the music changed on IYHW

I am going to have to go w/ buzz since I do not know the other 2.

IYHW and IYCF were virtually identical, the latter having sponsor signage removed and a tweak to the audio. Take Flight was identical to Dreamflight but again had sponsor details removed and lyrics altered in the finale audio loop.

Being old enough to experience all three, I still would choose Buzz. The reason is you get the chance to interact and become part of the attraction.

The other two were pretty cool especially with the sensory experiences that were part of each.

My Guess many would choose Buzz because many did not experience the other two.

I never knew the partnership was that inclusive...Sounds AWESOME.:lol:

 

[EpcoTim]

Dreamflight hands down.

 

[mikemietlicki]

I always thought of dreamflight designed as a parody of WoM from EPCOT (center). Transportation theme. The barnyard always reminded me of the turn of the century crash from Wom. Except Dreamflight was more over the top.

 

[matt_taylor1985]

Definately Delta Dream Flight for me. I love the music.

 

[Oddysey]

I prefer Dreamflight and it is not just because of nostalgia. Disney character themed rides should stay in Fantasyland to make room for more originality throughout the Magic Kingdom. It seems Disney does a much better job with themeing and provides a more original experience when leaving the characters out.

Of course, this is all in my humble opinion.

You make a good point - Space Mountain, Alien Encounter, TimeKeeper, and yes Carousel of Progress!
