Over the years, many rides and shows have been retired and or cycled in or out of the Parks. Here's a question: If you could bring one ride or show back, what would it be?

Bring back..I don't know. There are many disappeared rides I'd love to do one more time. But that is not necessarily the same as wanting to bring them back.

I would love to ride Horizons for nostalgia's sake. Once, for me it was the best ride in EPCOT, probably the whole of WDW. But if I would ride it now, I think it would look like what people in 1978 thought the future would be like in 1998. Futurism doesn't stand the test of time very well.

Maybe I'll throw in the Swan Boats for my choice. Obscure, but I have this lovely childhood memory of slowly gliding past Cinderella's Castle in a stylish boat...

Question:

Which ride was replaced with something better and more popular than the original?

I'm between Skyway and Horizons. Rode em both, thought they were both great. You get such unique MK views from Skyway. Horizons sums up what EPCOT is (was) about so well, something like it has to come back.

Obviously, were it to remain as it was in 1983, Horizons would not be too hot. But whatever. I cast my vote for Horizons, which (if brought back) I'd give a shiny new rehab. It was a beautifully done attraction--the pinnacle of that form of 15-minute, AA-laden storytelling that is synonymous with Disney.

Plus, it's one of the few rides that was "retired" with a bulldozer, and that just wasn't cool. It would be nice to forget that and have the ride back.
