Ride Descriptions of Rides that Never where

[Phantasia]

I recently Started a Topic requesting a list of attractions that never happened but where rumored or Planned - and there where lost of replies with some really interesting and inciteful ideas - in this thread I want to go into more details about those individual rides/attractions i.e. if anyone knows more details about how a ride experience was going to be - a "Virtual Tour" as it where of a ride which never happened. - if anyone knows that is !

Hmm, where to begin? There was one rumored Donald Duck-themed bumper boat ride, dreamt up as early as 1959, to be put in Fantasyland. Part of this ride concept is actually the basis for a new 21st century version I have thought up, done in the style of Tokyo DisneySea's Aquatopia, as part of an expansion I thought up for DL's Toontown. Anyway, if the original attraction were to be built today, I'll wager that they would put it in Toontown.

Did Disney ever release any concept art of the rides that were never made... and are there any websites that have compiled all of disney's concept art pics
