Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

[Wilt Dasney]

I wonder what ever happened to the Virtual Toad project -- but not enough to do a web search.

I was thinking that myself :lol:

I used to check that site a lot. Last I knew, the guy behind it was putting it on indefinite (and maybe permanent, he implied) delay. He said it was just eating up too much of his free time.

I personally loved Mr. Toad and was very disappointed to see the attraction shut down. It was always one of my favorites and as a kid never saw the movie until well, well, well after I had fallen in love with the ride.

Last time I rode it was a year or two before it was shut down and loved it still and that was my first time riding it in a over 10 years and first time as an adult and still loved it.

For those though that say that it was not good due the technology and would not stand today, what do they have to say about Small World? A bunch of dolls spinning back and forth? That is not very technologically advanced yet is still a very popular attraction.

Also, I do love the replacement very much as well. It is a very good attraction. I enjoy it more than Snow White, Peter Pan and Small World. I just wish they had put it somewhere else.

If they would bring back Toad in some form for the new expansion I would love it. But I am not holding my breath....

Has anyone seen the Mr. Toad T-Shirts inside the shop near PhilharMagic? Does anyone think that this might mean we may see a return of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride as part of the Fantasyland expansion? I hope so!:sohappy:

I wish!

I have been going to WDW since 1972 (yes, i was young then thank you), and we'd ride Toad (this feel's like a family guy reset for some reason) multiple times in every trip. I don't get all the haters, it was a family favorite. And when I got older I can remember taking younger kids on the ride who had no idea about the movie and they loved trying to drive the car as it went all crazy around the track.

Heck we used to get excited about which car we would get to ride in and laugh at which ever group ended up with Moley, etc...

But yep, I am a big toad fan. I pop the dvd in for fun every now and then and my kids will sit down and watch it with me.

Well, they successfully brought Figment back to Imagination so I'd say anything is possible.
