Which is Walt's?

[MagicalMonorail]

With all of the attractions at Walt Disney World, it's hard to know where all the ideas come from. I was wondering which attractions that are still up that were Walt Disney's ideas. Anyone know what rides were his original idea? Also, before he died, did he leave a master list with a lot more ideas for rides? Thanks for any info!

These are a few that I think he did/know he did (or had plans for):

Space Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
Haunted Mansion
Most of the classic Fantasyland rides (Snow White, Mr. Toad, IASW, et.c)
Carousel Of Progress
Enchanted Tiki Room
Jungle Cruise

.. Atleast I think he was involved with all of those.. :lookaroun

POTC was the last ride he developed, the Walt attractions at WDW are almost the same as DL. Although Walt developed the plans for WDW, because of death in 1966 none of the attraction were able to come into existence with Walt directly developing them. His influence though it obviously there.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Country Bear Jamboree
& The Haunted Mansion. . . were the three he died envisioning.

Hall of Presidents was his original intent for Lincoln in 1964...

And Carousel of Progress was the ONLY attraction he told his Imagineers to keep.

And if they remove COP, Michael from Tiki Room is going to say" The gods and the spirit of Walt Disney have been angered by Michael Eisner." Then Walt will arise in the board room and chop Eisner's head off with a lightsaber.

The Haunted Mansion was going to be the next attraction that Walt would have opened. He was there for the first stages of delvelopement but died before the attraction opened. To add to this, the Haunted Mansion took 10 years to finaly open after it's first public anouncement. The show building was built but stood empty for many years before the interior was constructed.

careful there.... the facade was built, but not the show building.
