Attractions You'd Nix

[ToyStory3]

Imagination. Used to be a great ride back in the day. Now it's a joke!

 

[999DoomBuggies]

MK: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: The seats are too small, the carts don't rock as advertised, it takes up too much space, and is really just meh

HS: Backlot Tour: the trams are cramped, there really is no backlot anymore

Epcot: Mission Space: It's killed people! Case closed

AKrimeval Whirl: I needed a new spine afterward

agree with all of these, especially the mine train.

Captain EO, it was dumb back in the day, it is dumb now...Disney wants to keep a sci-fi ride there they should buy the Firefly rights to perform penance for ever making this ride. I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar!

Stitch. Would love a GOOD Lilo and Stich adventure, this is a waste.

Rockin Roller Coaster...not close just refurb with something other than Aerosmith crap music...see EO above, buy rights to a good band.

And I wish, oh how I wish, Pooh...bring back the Toad! But since they closed Snow White, I guess the diaper set need something to keep them busy.

 

[DisUniversal]

MK - Swiss Family Treehouse
Epcot - Mission Space
DHS - Toy Story Mania
AK - Tough to be a Bug...especially if I can get rid of the whole tree.

We all have our favorite attractions at each WDW park. I'm sure there are "attractions" some have never experienced... I'm not speaking of them. What WDW attraction at each of the parks would you most like Disney to nix and use the space to have something better?

I am not brave enough nor do I have a list of my own... I am still focused on the attractions my family WANTS to experience. I just though it would be interesting to see what you guys think.

I'd only want these closed if I were certain something better would move in (no Wonders of Life repeat).

MK: Tomorrowland Speedway - I know kids like getting to drive their own car, but let's be real, bumper cars and go kart tracks are everywhere. This is not a unique experience. Either give it a futuristic theme and make the cars electric, or get rid of it in favor of something else that could better use all that space!

Epcot: Ellen's Energy Adventure (and while we're at it, put something new in the WoL pavilion and re-open it already!)

AK: Honestly I could do without all of Dinoland...if I'm narrowing it to one attraction, I'd say Primeval Whirl.

DHS: Star Tours - this is totally selfish. But I love Star Wars and can't go on the one SW-themed ride because of motion sickness. I'd love to have it replaced with a Star Wars attraction that more people could enjoy!

 

[MattRyan]

Why do so many people dislike Mission SPACE? I think it's an awesome ride!

Anyway, my rides to remove:

Magic Kingdom: Tomorrowland Speedway
Hollywood Studios: That awful Pirates of the Caribbean thing.
Epcot: Ellen's Energy Adventure
Animal Kingdom: They're really all okay, but Triceratops Spin.

If we're talking about shutting down rides that kill/hurt people, I thought the Peoplemover has the most incidents of any ride at Disney. Stupid people do stupid things and get themselves hurt in stupid ways. Even when you tell them they'll die. At some point you gotta let Darwin take his toll.

 

[kaite]

The Nemo musical (sorry! probably going to catch some heat on this one, just not a big Nemo fan and I'd rather see the old Tarzan show)!

 

[CoolMom2112]

Magic Kingdom: Stitch. Bring back Alien...
Also ditch the Tomorrowland Snailway... 'er I mean 'Speed'way. Re-vamp with linear induction cars (people mover style) or 'pod racers' or SOMETHING! Those things were lame when I was a kid and visiting in the '70's!

Epcot: Journey into the Lack of Imagination. Bring back the 2 story wonderland that it used to be. Could you just see what that would be like with oh... Apple Computers as a sponsor??!!

Also in EPCOT, something, anything for Wonders of Life (Cranium Command, Body Wars)... The Odessy Restaurant or experience or ANYTHING.... *sigh* Epcot Future World... the Land that time (and Disney) forgot... Oh, and can we please get rid of the 'tombstones' at the entrance?!?

Hollywood Studios: American Idol (yippee!!), the super lame Jack Sparrow thing, and maybe perhaps an update to the Muppets?

Animal Kingdom: Well, I liked Countdown to Extinction, but the 'Dinosaur' re-work leaves something to be desired. How about fixing a few of the animatronics? (Yes, I'm looking at you Yeti... and the dino s....

If you know the 'story' behind Hester and Chester, that area actually has the most elaborate backstory of any land/attraction in WDW. Now that I know, I actually enjoy it....

Oh! I miss Tarzan Rocks! That bird show has NOTHING on the Tarzan show. *dreamy sigh* so glad I got to see Tarzan before it left...

Very true, I looked it up last time we were through there, very cool

 

[agavegirl1]

MK: Tomorrowland Speedway. What an oxymoron...it is neither "tomorrow" or speedy. It also takes up a lot of space that could be better used.
Stitch. Create a new experience for the space.

Epcot: Captain EO for sure. There are so many Disney IP's that could go in the space.
Use the WOL Pavilion for ride/attraction space.

DHS: Backlot Tour. It is neither.
Lights Motors Action. Been there forever, needs to be replaced
Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Needs a new show
The Big *** Hat. What and eyesore

AK: Can't afford to lose a single thing. Too few things as it is.

Yea I'm going to be that guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drachen_Fire

And the ride did not directly kill someone. If you want to go that route then Carousel of Progress should be closed immediately.

*Digression alert* Agh. Drachen Fire was the absolute worst. I went on it shortly after it opened, and I ended up with the worst headache I've ever had. I was in high school at the time, so it wasn't being old and out of shape that caused the issue. That ride was just awful. You couldn't have paid me to ride again. I was very pleased (and not at all surprised) when we went back to BGW a few years later and saw that Drachen Fire was closed. I love BGW in general, but that ride was a total fail. *Digression over*

WDW should ditch these:

MK: Stitch x 1000. Worst "ride" in the park
EP: Captain EO
HS: Backlot Tour
AK: ITTBAB (too scary for little kids)

 

[Fratthouse]

In addition to some of the other attractions already mentioned, I would get rid of the Circle of Life Video at Epcot. Seriously dated and LAME.

I would make a third theater for Soarin' with the space. (this may or may not be a practical solution given the space. I'm just throwin' out ideas)

DITTO on pretty much everything here-except everything in Dinoland is a waste...
"tombstones" at entrance to Epcot-my kids thought that is what they were!!

 

[DaisyNY]

MK - Stitch and Tiki Room (though this is my DH favorite and we must sit through it every visit),

Epcot - Captain EO, Figment (older version was so much better) and Ellen's Universe of Energy (though if it's a hot day and you need a 20 minute snooze...Enjoy!),

DHS - the attraction that changes frequently (was Lions, Witch and Wardrobe...then Pirates of the Caribbean...maybe something else in between),

and AK - Finding Nemo and yes...Bring back Tarzan!!! Great show!!!
