Favorite Closed Attraction

[Micca]

I miss a lot of the extinct Epcot rides, especially the theme songs!

 

[RamblingMad]

Back to the Future Ride.
Body Wars.

Here's a good list to go through;

[Moliphino]

Just about everything that closed at HS, especially those things that were around when it was MGM. Backlot tour (the original one), streets of America, stunt show, GMR (that one hurt a lot). I loved the old Hollywood theme it had before.

The best thing from MGM that they got rid of what the Hunchback of Notre Dame show. That was wonderful.

Spaceship Earth is still open. I do miss the Jeremy Irons narration, though.

I misread the title a bit. The border is theoretically closed for me, so it's virtually the same.

If I were to make a correction though, it's the original Journey ride. No offence to Eric Idle, but it's just not the same.

Maelstrom

Hard one. Horizons and World of Motion at Epcot. The original Test Track and Figment and Listening to the Land when they had actual people in the boats instead of the now Living with Land.

The original FWs at MK before they started projections, I'm height challenged and the projection shows are a waste for me as someone always gets in front of me. The gondolas in the sky at MK (yes I'm that old). The original bakery at MK, I'm not a Starbucks fan.

I’m that old too. The chocolate cake from the bakery while watching the electrical parade was bliss. I’m the same with MGM. Miss it.

Maelstrom

Without a doubt, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is number 1. (I've been told it's still open at DL.) Also liked the Submarine Voyage based on the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Snow White's Scary Adventure was great, but it terrified my daughter when she was little.

All 3 are at Disneyland! Now you have to go there. They changed 20000 leagues to be Nemo themed but it’s still nostalgic.

I listen to those songs on YouTube all the time.

Age alert: Battlestar Galactica attraction at Universal.

I listen to those songs on YouTube all the time.

In the 80s WDW sold cds with a number of those songs, I still have those! Some of those were Sherman Bros. songs, quality stuff!

Soarin' Over California at Epcot. The updated version just lacks the magic the old one had and the combination of the obvious CGI and the distortions from sitting anywhere other than dead center are so distracting and completely break the immersion of the ride for me.

100% this.

 

[cellomom]

For sentimental reasons The exercise cycles with video screens that were located in the “wonders of life pavilion”. When my autistic son was younger, this was his favorite activity. He would sit on my lap and I would pedal so he could watch the video screen. As you pedal, videos would take you through Disneyland, a backyard, inside a house…

I wish I knew when "next time" will be. Tampa/St. Pete might be a place for us to go just to enjoy the Gulf, so you never know.

Wonderland is local for me, obviously a more practical place to visit.

I see. Based on the topic of the thread, I thought the coaster you linked had closed. BG Tampa has a similar one, which is why I recommended that. Having a favorite coaster nearby is definitely better than having to travel a long distance to ride a similar version. I would encourage you to plan a trip to Tampa/St. Pete someday. I really miss living near the Gulf.

For truly permanently closed:
1) Horizons
2) Alien Encounter

For changed, and I want the original back:
1) Journey Into Imagination -- the full ride, with the full imagination/hands-on area at the end.

I agree with Journey Into Imagination. Every update made that ride worse. I really don't know what they were thinking.

We (here at Disneyland) have been complaining about this since they made the "new" one.

I believe sentimental reasons to be the best reasons. Some say perseveration. I call it proactively creating sentiment.
