Favorite Closed Attraction

Delta Dream flight. I loved that ride. I sometimes look at the YouTube videos of it.

GE Carousel of Progress at Disneyland. Glad to see it was still at WDW during our one trip there. Skyway at Disneyland. Gave you a great overview of the park

Osborne Lights and The Great Movie Ride.

So many missed attractions - original Journey Into Imagination is probably top of my list but also World of Motion, Horizons, Cranium Command, Great Movie Ride and Magic Journeys.

Surprisingly, I think you are the first to mention Cranium Command. Good call.

That was my mom. She didn't like WDW, but she loved seeing Carousel of Progress and Country Bear Jamboree again. She is a Disneyland girl!

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.

Oh yeah I completely misread the topic.

Last time I was in the Tampa area was May 2017. Had a company retreat at Clearwater Beach. Nice area, although I was never really outside of the hotel zone.

I never say never when it comes to trips, so Tampa is always a possibility. Especially when they've got beaches, warm water and restaurants.

Well, I put Wonders of Life - meaning I liked all of the now gone individual attractions there
Cranium Command
The Making of Me
Body Wars

I also want to echo the original Journey Through Imagination.

As a whole then. As it was. An exhibition.
My children only know the “new Figment”. So it’s endearing to me. But everyone bringing it up makes me beg the question, is it better to reimagine an attraction or to close it all together? Ooh now that would be a thread.

Skyway
Submarine Voyage - loved seeing the mermaids.
Captain EO - was a huge MJ fan in the 80s.
Golden Horseshoe Variety Show/Jamboree - was an awesome indoor place to cool down with a/c and get refreshments.
The Disney Gallery - Above Poc ride, Had an art piece during middle school on exhibit here.

I vote for neither. IMO, it's better to leave it as it is than reimagine it & make it inferior to the original. That is what happened to Journey Into Imagination.

Honey I Shrunk the Audience

the timekeeper/ legend of the lion king. both shows were awesome

I know it's not at a disney park, but the jaws ride at universal was always fun

I also don't like the new audio on the TTA
not as good

I agree. I should have said which is worse, closing an attraction or reimagining it.

Actually I can’t say definitely all changed rides are not my preference. Star tours maybe?

Gee. I’ll have to listen to the old one. I can’t say that I noticed the change.

Can I call Alien Encounter a closed attraction? I think I just did.

Damn Stitch.

If any of you wrote letters and complained, well I hate you.

Wow. Poor Stitch. There were a couple people that have that on their list. The funny thing is that my kids were no more or less afraid of Stitch than the original.
