My new Magic Kingdom lost rides website

[Mickeyrulz]

I have just sporadically created a Magic Kingdom lost rides website. I plan to add the other parks in the near future when I get loads of free time.

Anyway currently it's not much of a site, but I'd like to post the link anyway.

Please visit and post what you think of it so far. don't worry it will VASTLY improve and quickly too.

Don't forget about The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter....

 

[Mickeyrulz]

But I said I don't have them all yet...

 

[Mickeyrulz]

Isn't anyone else gonna look at it?

 

[waltdisny]

Good start!

Although I'd be careful when you say 20K is the most missed ride, them's fightin' words to a Toad Fan.:lookaroun

 

[Mickeyrulz]

I just added Mr. Toad to the site and Horizons. But I really don't have full descriptions of the storylines from those rides -- just general info.

World of Motiom......Captain EO(sp)......Journey Into Imagination(with Dreamfinder and Figment)

 

[Mickeyrulz]

I have said repeatadly that the site is not done yet...be patient, those rides will be coming soon.

Hey Kevin,
I understand that you're site isn't quite done yet, so I am not ripping it apart, but there are a few things that you could probably add quite easily that would help enhance your site.
First, you need to make it a little more visually appealing. While the pictures do add to it, you need to add some sort of color to the background and it might even look good if you changed the color of the text. You know, kind of spiced things up a little bit.
Second, I highly suggest putting on each page links to all the other pages, especially back to the home pages. It is quite frustrating to keep having to push the back button. Or worse yet, having to reload your site all together.
Other than these few things I think it is an excellent start to a great site. (Duh, of course it's great, it is about Disney! )

By the way, I don't think people are mad because certain rides aren't on your site, I just think that they are giving you ideas. There's no need to be defensive. They are just trying to help you out.

Edited because of my own stupidity

Good start. Just remember to use a code that enables you to make major changes to site design as well as refine the current design.

You should also ask for donations of photos of the old rides.

 

[Mickeyrulz]

Thanks for the suggestions. I will post all updates I make on this thread. Right now I'm working on visual appeal, and yeah.

DOES ANYONE HAVE PHOTOS OF OLD RIDES that they will let me use?

 

[DisneyMemories]

Great site,hope you get it going strong and add the sounds or records to the different rides(makes it like yesterland,but with sound),man brings back memories of so many rides that are gone ,thanks for creating a walt disney version hope you build it stronger and with sucess.

Go through the photo albums, see what ya like, and then politely ask people if you can use their pics...

I'd put a link to http://www.virtual-toad.com/ under the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Page.

Pet hate of mine is scrolling text just for the sake of it.

FYI: There are a couple of similar sites out there:

http://home.cfl.rr.com/omniluxe/wyw.htm
http://www.extinct-attractions-club.com/

Just thought you would like to check them out so you don't end up doing a carbon copy of what is already available.

Good luck with the site :wave:

Oh I cannot wait for Virtual Toad to be completed...love that site.

MickeyRulez, that's a great start to your site - bookmarked it and will definately add it to my "to check out again" list.

Very cool project. (applauds wildy) :sohappy:

Three words...

Mickey Mouse Revue

It was my fave show at WDW back in the day.

Also, just a suggestion, I'd rename the page WDW Lost Attractions as not everything listed is a ride. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call shows (like Mission to Mars, Alien Encounter, Legend of the Lion King, Captain EO, etc...) a ride. Carousel of Progress is the only exception because you *do* ride around the central stage thingy. Hee!

I Like It!


There Was A Swan Ride In The Magic Kingdom Moat??????

 

[Mickeyrulz]

Yep, the Swan Boats were there! If you go to www.waltdatedworld.bravepages.com
you can learn more. I never rode them, I wasn't alive... I just read about them.
