Years ago I remember going on Horizons at Epcot. Anyone remember it? Anyone have any idea what happened to it?
 
I got blown up to make room for Mission: SPACE. I don't think it's been open at all since around the time Test Track started previewing, so it just sat there for several years before meeting its fate.
 
I have good memories of that ride. :goodvibes
Like was already mentioned, it got dismantled to make a spot for
Mission Space. :sad2:

It "ran" until they closed it to tear down the building.
It didn't "sit" for very long at all.
 

"Ran down" more like. It was old technology -- expensive to maintain.
 
Great to see those pics bobp thanks for posting the link, brought back memories!!!!

Correct.

I remember it still running when Test Track was up and running too.

And it wasn't as much "blown up" but rather rammed with a wrecking ball :sad:

It was definitely one of my all-time favorite WDW rides!

It was a great ride and may people's favorite ride at Epcot right until the moment it closed. Hardly run down.
 
My favorite ride in Epcot. I miss all of the old Epcot...its just not the same as it was when I first went. Sorry, but I can do without both M:S and TT. I'd rather have Horizons and WoM back! :sad2:

And FIGMENT with DREAMFINDER in the original full-length, amazing, and entertaining version of "Journey into Imagination."
 
I loved Horizons ! and World of Motion too! And am very sorry to see the state of Wonders of Life.

While we are big fans of both TT & MS and are glad to have them, given the choice, I would have much rather seen them demolish Living Seas (sorry!) & Energy to make room for them instead of Horizons & WofM. JMO.

Anybody else miss Communicore? Don't even want to get started about the original Imagination.
 
Something happened to Horizons? You mean it won't be open when hit EPCOT in a few weeks? Bummer. Guess we'll just have to spend more time riding the Sea Cabs and enjoying the "Life" pavillion.... ;)

mission space ate it *yummmm*
 
Is Horizons the ride where you got to pick your adventure during one part: Sea, dessert, or space?

If it wasnt Horizons, then what was it?
