Ride Closures-Which Would Disappoint You the Most?

Anytime anybody goes to WDW there is something shut down, be it for planned refurb or out-of-the-blue technical difficulties.

My question to everyone is this: If you were at WDW, what attraction being closed would disappoint you the most? Since I'm bummed when anything is closed when I'm there, I want everyone to limit yourselves to one attraction per the four parks. Thought this might make an interesting discussion. Also, don't think too much on the reality of refurbs for some of the rides that have them regularly. Just think about if _____ was down when you got there. Looking forward to everyone's thoughts.

Here's my choices:

Magic Kingdom- Haunted Mansion. Maybe my favorite theme park attraction of all time. I'd be fairly devastated if it was shut down when I was there.

EPCOT- Test Track. This one beat out Spaceship Earth by a slim margin for me. I love the theming and the slight thrill factor of this ride.

Hollywood Studios- Rock n' Rollercoaster. Closely edges out the Tower for me. RnR was the first coaster I ever rode that launches as it does at the start. I will say though that I haven't had the chance to experience Toy Story yet. Will be doing that for the first time next May.

Animal Kingdom- Expedition Everest. Even with all the problems with the effects, it's still a very good coaster ride.

Tower of Terror is technically the one I would be most of upset about, however, with its ride system being two independent rides, I don't think the entire attractions has ever gone done really. Has it even gone through a major refurbishment that would shut it?

The most realistic one that does happen sometimes is Space Mountain. That's my favorite at Magic Kingdom and without it I get very bummed.

At MK I'd be bummed if Splash Mountain, Pirates, Haunted Mansion or Small World, yes SMALL WORLD, were down. Throw in Country Bears

At DHS I'd be bummed if TOT was down

At AK I'd be bummed if Everest or Dinosaur was closed

At Epcot Spaceship Earth

We were there last year during the Space mountain refurb :( We knew it going in, but we were still upset when we got there. I think that has been the only time I've been where a favorite ride of mine was closed, knock on wood!

Our last trip was in January, so we experienced a bunch of refurb closings- which was SO disappointing! We also got rained out of Fantasmic last time so I've still NEVER seen it... that was extremely disappointing- especially after we sat outside in the pouring rain for over an hour... So far this upcoming trip (December) doesn't have any major rides down except for Star Tours (which is sad, but at least it's getting an upgrade!). YAY! Hoping I'm not jinxing myself!

Okay so my choices--

MK: Carousel of Progress

EPCOT: Soarin' - our favorite ride in all the parks

HS: uh... Toy Story Mania? Muppet 3D? Not one overwhelming choice here. (I WILL be disappointed if I miss Fantasmic again- since I have planned the trip around it!)

AK: Finding Nemo the musical

MK- Space mt. If I knew it was gonna be close, I wouldn't go to WDW at all or cancel my trip. If it closed unexpectedly for my entire trip while I was there, then I'd want my money back.

Epcot- hmmm, I'd guess SSE. I would still go if it were closed, but it's the most relaxing ride at Epcot, and it and maybe TT would be the only ones there that I can think of that I'd be a little devastated if they were closed.

MGM- ToT. I'd probably just skip mgm altogether that trip, or atleast go and do Toy Story then I'm out.

AK- E:E. I'd just skip AK altogether if E:E was closed as thats the only thing I do there pretty much.
