...which attraction would it be?

There are lots of Disney attractions that have closed and been replaced with other things. So if you could go back in time and re-ride any of them, which one would you choose?

I would pick 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I discovered it when looking up long gone rides and I was fascinated by it... and the giant squid!

Part of the reason I felt fascinated was because looking at the video footage, I felt like I had been on the ride before. I found out that I did visit WDW as a toddler right before the ride closed, but I remember virtually nothing about that trip. I also had the old "A Day at the Magic Kingdom" VHS that they sold in the 90s and there's a segment on there about the ride. So I don't know if I felt I had been on it because I watched the VHS so much or because I actually did ride it. I guess I'll never know...

I would have liked to do Alien Encounter one more time also. I do remember that attraction as a small child and it scared the wits out of me, but in a good way. I always wish they'd bring it back instead of the Stitch nonsense.

So how about you?
 
Hands-down, the Adventurer's Club. It was an amazingly unique experience. Loved the interactive nature of the performers. I was lucky enough one trip to be pulled onstage to be part of their "radio play." I got to play a Swedish nanny, and it was so fun!

Adventurer's Club, I miss you so! Kungaloosh!
 
The Timekeeper! Loved that show. Got to see it the last night it was ever open.

Also Body Wars...liked the fact it was more intense than Star Tours and rarely had a line by the end
 
The Gondolas. My very first ride at the MK. Looking down over all the magic that was the MK was the best feeling in the world.

And 20,0000 Leagues. :)
 

Delta Dream Flight.. Loved that one!! And yes.. the Adventurer's Club.. so many wonderful memories there!
 
So many to choose from. Wish I could go back and ride all the closed ones. Probably Horizons (loved the orange smell as a kid, something that makes me think of Florida). World of Motions, and original Journey into Imagination (with Dreamfinder) and Universe of Energy would be honourable mentions. Loved those sound tracks too (It's Fun To Be Free , and It's the Universe...of Energy)
 
I agree with Toon Town. I'm sad I can't show my own kids minnie and mickeys house. I wish some how, some way they could have preserved that. Moved it elsewhere. I dunno.

I remember going to MGM a Studios in the early 90s as a teenager and how it was so impressive entertaining and exciting. While I still enjoy it now, I don't feel it has the same magic as back then.
 
The original Journey into Imagination with Figment and Prof. Dreamfinder.

Runners up would be: Horizons, Kitchen Kabaret and the original World of Motion in Epcot and in the MK I miss the Skyway and Mr. Toad.
 
Adventurers Club! We would go there every night for HOURS. So much fun.

Also, the old Journey into Imagination

I completely forgot about Kitchen Kabaret. That was a great show and I loved the gift shop after (Veggie Fruit Fruit Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit , and Ham and Eggs comedy was great). Guess I like the old Epcot compared to this one, throw in Honey I Shrunk the Audience.

I also remember fondly the Monster Sound Stage with Chevy Chase and Martin Short at MGM and SuperStar Television at MGM.
 
Without a doubt, Cranium Command!! Loved that show, and the whole wonders of life pavilion.
 
Adventurers' Club!! Our favorite evening entertainment. Would sit there for hours, sometimes every night of our trip.
So much fun!
