R.I.P. retired rides

[Jesùs_Carioca]

I need to split my answer in to two, because I refuse to sacrifice one for the other if i had the choice.


The Ride I'd return: The Original Journey into Imagination. It was beautiful, as everybody has put it so simply.


The Show I'd return: The Hunchback of Notre Dame at MGM. I never understood what gave them the gaul to take out such a beautiful show. It was amazing, you just have to trust me.

Either Horizons or Mr Toad's

I would bring back If You Had Wings and 20,000 Leagues in the Magic Kingdom; I hate seeing all of the area where 20K once operated reduced to a photo op---what a waste of space. Over at Epcot, besides the obvious Horizons, I would bring back the World of Motion show (It's Fun to Be Free!)---and since this is all hypothetical---it does not replace Test Track, but runs in tandem with it!!!!
In fact, while I'm at it, why don't we bring Toad into the 21st Century by Re-Imagineering Test Track as Mr. Toad's Wild Test Trek?!?!:lookaroun The theming would make it relate more with It's Fun to Be Free!!!

If You Had Wings/Delta Dreamflight or World of Motion

 

[BSikor]

I would say Mr. Toads but since it is disneyland, if I REALLY want to go on it I could make and exuse to go to California.

I've got to go with Horizons. I miss it a lot. It had such a great message of hope for the future and it couldn't be topped.

20,000 leagues and alien encounter

Mr toad

 

[dsnyfreak]

Mr. Toad was great!!

 

[C&D]

I know there are devisive opinions on this one, but I/we really liked "Tarzan Rocks". Another show, we really miss is the origingal "Imagination" and "The Timekeeper".

My vote :wave:

 

[LorangeJuice]

Horizons, hands down. The original JII is a close 2nd, but hopefully, there will at least be a tastefull rehab in the near future.

That is a sick picture of the original Imagination! How'd you get it?

EDIT: Staying on topic, definitely Alien Encounter.

Mine will have to be Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I have always loved that one.

I'm with Chubby. I can still here my little sister screaming from a trip 20 years ago.

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.:animwink: )

Yeah when I recently listened to the Horizons ride through from MouseBits, I had to laugh.

DANG! :lol:

If You Had Wings/Delta Dreamflight or World of Motion

Please don't lump the fabulous If You Had Wings with the travesty that was Dreamflight. What made the ride great more than anything else was one of the truly great songs in Disney theme park history - once that was taken away, the ride was never the same.

Although not officialy "gone" (it is... in reality), I want the Backlot Tour the way it used to be.
