Retroland Returns

[Yfoog]

Why did Disney bother to change Tomorrowland at all? It's become a vast wasteland. Let's do the math. The following attractions were eliminated for the "upgrade:"

MISSION TO MARS (I miss this one. I miss the free tush massages.)

CIRCLEVISION (One of the best attraction musical scores was attached to "American Journeys."

PEOPLE MOVER (It was one of the best ways to relax after a long day. There was never a line. Maybe it'll return now that Rocket Duds, er, Rods has officially been scrapped after wasting millions on an idea that really wasn't that thrilling to begin with.)

SUBMARINE VOYAGE (OK, no big lost here.)

SKYWAY (It was one of the best ways to see Tinkerbell during Fantasy in the Sky, but you had to time it just right! But now with the complexity of Believe! I doubt the Skyway would be running anyway during the show even if it did still exist).


LET'S SEE......we gratefully gave up Captain EO for Hunny I Shrunk the Audience and the old Carousel of Progress / America Sings theatre has become a sad copy of EPCOT's Innoventions.
I just wish some money would be spent at Disneyland. It seems to be the stepchild of all the parks.

Your view?

It seems that Disneyland is a copy of WDW. They put all the things that were popular in Flordia in CA.

 

[Disney Maniac]

I have to agree with you guys that Disneyland has become almost second-class to the other parks. It's like they did a 180 and went from stealing ides for WDW from DL to stealing ideas for DL from WDW. Part of this may be from a loss of the Asian market and lack of space to expand. That, or Disney has gotten involved in so many other projects that it can't spend the needed time or money to bring DL back to how it was in its glory days—popular, full of people, and the center of the Disney universe.

There is one ride that WDW doesn't have yet that DL does. Indiana Jones....similar to Dinosaur!...but totally different

I prefer Dinosaur.

Of course, that's true only if we ignore the many many things Florida took from CA....

No big loss on the Submarine Voyage? I’m glad this clown only made 2 posts.

Just think, back when this was originally posted, Rocket Rods had only been closed for a matter of months.

Are you actually responding to something written twenty years ago?

And twenty years ago at that. He's probably dead.

Was Alien Encounter DLR or WDW or both? In any event I really miss it. It would scare kids silly!

DCA is getting Who Wants to be a Millionaire in Sept. 2001. I saw they had walls up and it say WWTBM play it Sept. 2001!!! I saw it when I was in Disneyland Resort. Thanks

So has anyone played WWTBM? I hear it will be the thing to put DCA on the map.

That won't be enough, the park needs a timeless E-ticket, like Tower Of Terror for instance.
