Not when I’ve been there. I was referring to all the different types of transportation, especially the horse drawn trolley cars that used the tracks on Main St. The Fire engine and Double Decker buses.

Trolley car is still there, horse-drawn.
I’ll have to check it out on my next trip! Thanks!

Took this pic on Friday morning, just as the Trolley was about to leave the barn.
Other Main Street vehicles were already out and about!
Wow. Thanks @Tuvalu !!! Do you know if the Double Decker buses are running?

I'm sure to most 40 years is quite unimaginable, but the change list goes on and on. It's my opinion that with the exception of a few the changes were very positive because the technology advance so rapidly at the 30 years ago mark the it was absolutely necessary and is partially what kept Disney Theme Parks alive. I might install a caveat here and say that many of the more recent changes were a little less than inspired.

Agree but Disney could have kept some of the old school attractions that were favored by many and also add the newer tech things. A combination of both wouuld have only added to the parks enjoyment for all. Its disheartening to see the old thrown out to make room for the new. It isnt like Dis never had the room to expand.

Most of the historic old time attractions worth keeping are still in existence. Epcot had a problem of being large scale sponsored by outside places and had a lot of connecting demands that they had to honor thus the loss of some good, classics and some that were like owning a "lemon" auto that you have to wait to trade in and then you get something that was worse. It is a very complicated scenario that we, as tourist and fans, tend to think of as a simple reason that could remain without long term loss of support from the people sponsoring them. They maybe didn't have shareholders intensively controlling in the background, but they had all their eggs in one basket with those big money sponsors and without those sponsors there would be no EPCOT, so it's kind of a trade off. It is nice to think that everything has a simple 2 dimensional reason, but sadly life isn't like that, not even in a Disney Park. Lack of room has never been the excuse, but there is a limit, however, they haven't reached that yet.
