There are a few rides that are the heart and soul of what Disney represents. Whether that means it has a touch of Walt for when he was still alive or if it epitomizes all that Disney is about. To me it is these ones:
Small World
Carousel of Progress
Pirates
Haunted Mansion
Snow White (still in Disneyland and I am miffed they took it out of WDW)
Tom Sawyer Island
Country Bear Jamboree (it is the simple pleasure that makes this a Disney classic)
You want a nice balance of new things but not at the expense of your core. Tough choices should be made for sure but I think you invent space around something before you tear any of these out, among others.
One thing that bothers me about Universal is that they are treating the core of their park like a stray cat. I love those two parks and the day I finally go to Potter I am sure I will love it too, but they tend to rip out their heart just for what is popular. Add Potter, but at the expense of Jaws? Come on, this was at one time the highest grossing box office film ever and to this day is a movie that impacted people at their core. If you rip out Jaws and replace it with nothing to represent it other than the tram tour at Universal Hollywood then that means nothing is untouchable. E.T. is pretty much the same as Jaws in an all-time sense and it bothers me that even that isn't untouchable either.
