Proposed Lyrics for "New Horizons" for Horizons done in the late 70s/early 80s. It wasn't just the song for a ride, it was for the entire park.
There's a smile on the face of tomorrow...like the heart-warming sight of a friend....where we work, where we play, dreams come true everyday, as we reach for new horizons. We have learned to get more out of living, to create a rich happy lifetime to have...for the whole human race, there's a time and a place as we reach for new horizons...as we climb out of yesterday's shadow, and the hope for our future draws near...we are free to build and grow, to choose the way we go...the promise of tomorrow is clear...tomorrow is here!...we have countless new meadows to harvest, and the challenge to dream without end, life is filled with so much more than we ever had before...reaching new horizons, reaching.....new....horizons!
Oh but doesn't that sound so outdated? You know big hair, neon clothes, Apple II and floppy disks?

Disney, if I could offer you the golden "most-effed-up-refurb" award, I would right now!
Enjoy your touch screens everyone. May the loud audio, people laughing and screaching all around you, and dark tunnel be a most inspiring ending to a symbolic attraction.
