The Preservation Club

[07vanquish]

Many people agree certain rides must be preserved as they are. Unfortunately, certain rides do get ''overly refurbished'' (Spaceship Earth according to a few (a lot) of people). Which rides, as of their state today (no going back in time, and does not include something temporarily (or hopefully temporarily) broken), would you preserve at least 80% (based on the standard set by archeologist and historians to keep something ''original'')?

Please list the SMALL details you would change, while keeping your rides original, below.

Thanks!

P.S. I put the more popular rides for this poll (I would have liked to put more). To add a ride, post it and we'll tally the ''likes''.

Oops, I answered PotC, thinking we could get the original back. Then I read the rules.

I'd like to change to HM, please.

Maelstrom. Back with the storms, rain, smoke....

Pirates- I love Johnny Depp, but he somehow just doesn't belong there. IMHO.

I voted HM. Still wish the original hitch-hiking ghost scene was left untouched.

 

[Disvillain63]

I voted CoP...with 80% maintained...that still leaves room for bringing one room into the 21st Century...

 

[openendedsky]

CoP, mainly.

Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse, Jungle Cruise...basically all of Adventureland except the flying carpets. Tom Sawyer Island. Tomorrowland Speedway. Dumbo.

COP with one room updated...brilliant.

Voted CoP, SE and Small World, probably should have voted HM as well. I'd add Pinocchio, the Columbia and the Country Bears to the list as well.

Yes, the BEARS! Forgot the Bears.

Yes, the BEARS! Forgot the Bears.

I understand what you mean but I just HATE the bears, I'd rather sit through the Hall of Presidents, but I guess they're both MK classics

 

[All Disney All The Time]

Don't hate on the Bears.

 

[zulemara]

The bears were already destroyed as far as I'm concerned. The heart and soul of the show is gone.

I vote CoP

Voted Everest so that it could be brought BACK to 80% original. I only got to ride it once in full-effect, I believe it was back in 2006. I was awe-stricken by the finale. Now...not so much.

I'm open to keeping Opening Day attractions updated and refreshed, as long as the original spirit of the experience isn't removed. It can be modernized, but the themes and overall zeitgeist should remain the same. I enjoy seeing Jack Sparrow on PoTC and I thought the new hitcher-hiker scene on HM was very cool too.

As I've seen others say on the board: WDW is a theme park not a museum.

 

[AllyInWonderland]

Haunted Mansion!!!!!!!!

 

[yeti]

Well Splash Mountain 'cause it just finished a refurbishment (haha) jokes aside, HM.

 

[ford91exploder]

CoP - and Small World as these were personally designed by Walt and the 9 old men

 

[Fantasmic]

I didn't vote for Everest, as if you preserved it as it is NOW it would be forever in Disco mode. Fix it, then preserve it.
