If you could 'experience' it once again...

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but…

In 2005, Disneyland will be celebrating its big 5-0h, which has given me pause to think about how much it has changed in 50 years, not to mention how much WDW has changed in 32 years.

So I thought, wouldn’t it be cool if the Disney Imagineers got together with Pixar or Industrial Light & Magic and the producers of the Wonderful World of Disney to create a 2-hour special using computer generated graphics and attraction architectural plans and designs to create high resolution virtual facsimiles of the parks over the past 50 years and their attractions that now only live in our memories. Using a blue screen, a CM Host could take the television audience on a tour of the virtual attraction. I could see the special starting out with Walt Disney counting off paces in an Anaheim orange orchard and the suddenly sweeping into time-lapse photography as the virtual DL and/or WDW is quickly created before our eyes.

I won’t even bother ‘pitching’ this idea to Disney having seen other posts regarding responses from the Disney Legal Department. However, if given the chance, what former attractions would you like to see again or ‘experience’ for the first time even if only as a virtual facsimile?

As for me, I’d like to see Innerspace and America Sings again and having only gone recently, I never got the chance to see 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, World of Motion or Horizons.

World of Motion, Horizons, Dreamflight, CoP (not gone, but never open), Mission to Mars, TOAD, the walking MGM studio tour, Superstar Television, Monster Sound show, the Hercules parade, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the Pochahontas show that was at MGM way back when....whew, ok, so I like a lot of the old stuff.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was great! I'd love for that one to come back. The special effects, which would be hokey by today's standards, were pretty cool back then.

I also liked the old Hall of Presidents. There was more talking by the animatonic presidents than there is today. Too much slide show today, in my opinion. The reason we go is to the see the animatronic presidents, not a film.

The old Skyway system was fun to ride too.

I found an old park guide we got back in 1976. Can you believe a 2-Day Adventure Book (which got you on 16 attractions) was $15?

I have a long list, but I'd like to start with "If You Had Wings", and then maybe POC before it was PC.

COP, Toad, 20,000 Leagues, Hunchback, and many others. Just metioning DL 50th makes me wish it was next year and I could go but I gotta wait til 2005
