Glacier Bay by @Disney Warrior
Glacier Bay is a neat pick to revive, and could bring some new visuals to Disneyland. I think thinking the revived Glacier Bay into the fantastical direction with the Snow Queen and Frozen is interesting versus the original plans for it be more of research center. With all that said it's a really nice concept!
Toontown Transit by @DisneyFan32
This project has broken the rules (which you have done for nearly every challenge even though I have told you along with @MickeyWaffleCo. time and time again to try and trim things down) and therefore will be not be allowed to award you points nor any rankings. With that said I feel like you have used this idea in this comeptetion before, and in other instances as well. Its a fine redo of the cancelled ride.
The Great Movie Ride by @DisneyFan32
Again you did not abide by the rules of this prompt. With that said I love the idea of bringing back the Great Muppet Movie Ride as I think it was a great and practical use of the characters in an attraction that just fit their vibe perfectly.
Western River Expedition by @DisneyFan32
Again you did not abide by the rules of this prompt. Bringing back the Western River Expedition would likely it to become the classic it was always meant to be, and who knows maybe instead of the Pirates of the Caribbean series we'd have a Western River Expedition series.
Dick Tracy's Crimestoppers by @DisneyFan32
Again you did not abide by the rules of this prompt. With that said seeing this concept revived is neat as it represents niche yet lucrative film genre, and gives Studios another action packed E-Ticket. This ride would easily still hold up till today, and remain popular even though the film it is based on has faded into obscurity.
BULLET TRAIN: ESCAPE FROM GODZILLA by @DisneyFan32
Godzilla is a pop culture icon of Japan, and still remains very popular to this day. The bullet train is also a fun way to bring a piece of transport famous in Japan, but the ending of the ride is very gruesome and a bit disturbed considering all the guests just died.
BENNY THE CAB: ESCAPE FROM TOON PATROL by @DisneyFan32
Unfortunately this concept does not meet the criteria of being a scrapped plan given the ride still opened in Disneyland as Cartoon Spin. With that said it's a neat modernization and adds plenty of action to the old concept.
Beastly Kingdome by @Brer Panther
I think another addition to Animal Kingdom is still very much needed to Animal Kingdom, and this could be a great way to add to the park. The described experiences kept most of the original plans for the land while adding smaller flat rides to round out the experience which in my onion is a great move given how great the theme and rides tie together!
Plectu's Intergalactic Revue by @Miru
Not going to lie it is a bit of surprise to see this idea revived at Pacific Wharf, but at least in this interpretation the attraction is more focused on California. I think an animatronic revue show will be interesting at DCA, and is a change of pace from the rest of the park's offerings.
Lava Lagoon by @Ticatoc_
I think Lava Lagoon was a great concept to revive as it was full of potential! It offers vastly different from the parks in Paris, and since it would be indoors was a great concept for Paris. The variety of slides you have included signal that you know about water parks, and are very passionate about this idea. Overall there seems to be plenty to do for families and thrill seekers thanks the variety provided. Good job!
Museum of the Weird is a fan favorite when it comes to scrapped concepts in the Disney Parks fan circles, and this is a great modernization of the original concept. I think making it a trackless ride was a really smart move, but I'm not sure if the Imagination Pavilion was the best area for this concept. With that said the overall concept is really solid, and a great modernization!
Geyser Mountain by @Arktic
Geyser Mountain is another beloved canned concept from the archives of Imagineering with Disney Park fans, and this is another great pick. Tying Geyser Mountain into established story of Thunder Mesa in Paris was a really smart idea as it furthers the backstories that the fans love. In addition the rollercoaster and drop tower hybrid that you used here was a great to modernize the ride, and differentiate it from the nearby Tower of Terror and Thunder Mountain. Great job!
The Villain Vault by @DashHaber
The villains concept are rather controversial as one of the more famous examples of a scrapped plan was the Great Villain Ride replacing the Great Movie Ride. With that said it is clear that this ride is not located in the Chinese Theater, and has its own purpose built area which is great. The mixture of classic villains such as Maleficent and more modern ones like Facilier was a great way to incorporate villains of all eras.
Time Racers by @DisneyFan18
This is really interesting, and a good twist on reviving the Time Racers ride from Epcot. The ride takes advantage of popularity of the Loki series alongside the lack of a standout new ride in Avengers Campus to ensure its popularity. The story is straight forward, and with the TVA's involvement will be able to explain away any continuity errors the ride presents that goes against the MCU. Overall a great modernization of an old concept with a new IP.
Elsa’s Enchanted Snow Palace by @Evilgidgit
If the original concept ever resurfaces it will 100% be as a fusion of the original plans and Frozen given the ride was talked about in the bonus features in Frozen! This ride benefits from not being a basic retelling of Frozen, and is a true hybrid of old and new with the characters we love and the gags Davis was known for. Overall a great and realistic way to revitalize this old concept!

Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition by @montydysquith-navarro
Really taking two sentences the grammatical maximum are we
It's nice to see Paris's Adventureland get the love it deserves, and just in general a new E-Ticket for Paris. This modernization of the original concept will likely wow guests, and prove that while the property is aging you can still do amazing things with it! Plus you made this version of the Indiana Jones special with its own story continuing the trend of unique stories for each Indiana Jones attraction.
Loki's TVA Time Racers by @FulcrumSolo
While it's not likely Loki would appear at Walt Disney World anytime soon due to Universal, let's just assume we're in a different timeline that the TVA has allowed to exist
While it is shame to lose two attractions this new idea seems to warrant this as it seems to be a grand adventure throughout time! Given there has yet to be a time travel ride in Tomorrowland I think this does a good job of representing that aspect of sci fi while still allowing Disney to work in a popular IP.

So great to see so many scrapped plans revived, hopefully they all become realities one day! All these great modern twists definitely does not make this an easy decision.
@Evilgidgit
Meshing together the classic jokes and gags that Marc Davis was known for, and that compromised the original Snow Queen concept with the new Frozen characters was a great idea! This is a great way to bring to life a boat ride that is actually epicness to warrant the Frozen name, overall an ice job!
@Ticatoc_
I lava your Lava Lagoon pitch The love for waterparks shown for the details of each waterslide allowing a visualization of just what the water park would actually entail. An indoor water park like Lava Lagoon would also just be very useful for Paris to further expand a guest's stay at its resort.
@montydysquith-navarro
A great approach to revitalizing the mega complex that that was to reside in Adventureland was taken with your proposal. It is interesting to see it brought back in its full glory with the most modern of technology, and really cements Adventureland being filled with just as much quality attractions as the rest of the Paris park.
@Arktic
Geyser Mountain excelled in reviving a scrapped plan while modernizing it. The fusion between a traditional rollercoaster and drop tower makes this a very thrilling mountain, and if Paris's Space Mountain shows anything then the French love the thrill! In addition the details of the backstory being interwoven with the other E-Tickets of the land was a smart move. The inclusion that the reason that this ride being built to take the pressure off the renovated Studios park was a very realistic move, and one that was appreciated. Great job!
