Pleasure Island closing in a whole was not a good move.

River County would be on my list.
I have never been on Horizons. What exactly is it?
Have you seen what it has become? Its pretty sad. The creepy thing is that the lights are still on and they still play the music. There are youtube vids to proove it.

I can see why it's not there - None of the other clubs are. I think it could fit into Animal Kingdom some place, but that won't ever happen.

It used to be where Mission:Space is. It was a slow moving ride through the perceived future. Lots of animatronics. Basically, a lot like Spaceship Earth, but more well rounded. There are videos of it on youtube.
Ok thanks

Plenty more out there too.
That Horizons resurrected link is pretty cool. Really cool actually. Thanks!

Even though I never experienced them, I wish Horizons and 20000 Leagues Under the Sea were still open. Oh, and there will be a Snow White's Scary Adventures-shaped hole in my August vacation this year

Actually, yes Adventurer's Club is way at the top for me as well. I was lucky enough to be a CM during Pleasure Island hey days (though I pity the regular guests who ended up there on CM "PI Night").
My Austrian friend that I mentioned from our Alien Encouter above and I were the only one of our group that really "got" the Adventurers club. While everyone else headed straight to Mannequin's she and I would have our first two drinks at "our club". The Colonel and his fellow Adventurer's knew us by name. (Naughty Colonel was alwys trying to get me to crawl up on his knee so he could spank me with his riding crop)
Im going in August alsoEven though I never experienced them, I wish Horizons and 20000 Leagues Under the Sea were still open. Oh, and there will be a Snow White's Scary Adventures-shaped hole in my August vacation this year

Huh that would be interesting. It will take a while to gut that whole thing out. Some also say that it will become a type of private water park for wilderness lodge guests. Lots of speculation.

Mr. Toad and Journey Into Imagination are easily my top two. I liked Horizons and World of Motion but it doesn't upset me too much that they aren't there anymore. Horizons vs. Mission Space I'd take Horizons. WoM vs. Test Track I'd take Test Track.
20000 Leagues is at the top of my list of attractions I wish I could've experienced. First two trips it wasn't running and by the 3rd trip it was closed down.

True. Mission space is overrated IMO

In my opinion, if Mission Space is taken at face value, one may say it is overrated. However, once you understand how it actually works, you will find a new appreciation for this attraction.
This is quick read that explains some of the ride's technology:

I miss the original Journey into Imagination. It's ironic how much lack of imagination there was when redesigning a ride about imagination...
Also, I miss the Pocahontas and Tarzan shows in DAK. Those two characters were like the best characters to put in a park about animals and nature. They're hard to find. I think Pocahontas does meet and greets? Just because Tarzan toys didn't sell as well, they should erase him from the parks? Lame...

20,000 Leagues, Mr. Toad, Snow White, and the gondola that took you from fantasy land to tomorrow land.
