Marathon Weekend 2018

[RENThead09]

wish i could have seen the Subs at Disney World. Have only seen the Nemo version at DLand.

And its OK to cheer against a team. I do it every weekend that the Packers play. BOOOOOOOOOOO!

Have a great week everyone.

The original Figment ride!!

Yes, yes, yes. this one.

I don't really remember anything that I went on as a child that I miss now. I do remember that I loved Figment and had a stuffed animal as a kid and was supremely underwhelmed when seeing that attraction as an adult. I don't remember the original and didn't know it changed, but I didn't understand why I would have liked it as a kid.

Body wars! I was pretty young and remember being so creeped out on that. And another vote for 20,000 leagues and Mickey's Toontown

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at MK! Was grown with children when I first went to WDW. Gotta love the irony of a Disney ride where the guests end up in hell!

Lol we took the kids to Disneyland a few years ago and I insisted we ride Mr. Toad. After we got off the older ds was like, "So you die and go to hell at the end? That's the kind of rides you had as a kid?" Yes I guess so.

Yep! And I loved it for that

Jealous of everyone booking. We're waiting until the 7 month window so we'll see what we can get then.

What attraction that is no longer at Walt Disney World do you miss most?

I'm also a fan of the original Figment ride.

Can't remember if I posted - we're booked at BWV now - Pool/Garden since Standard and Boardwalk were booked for the first night. We don't care about view at all.

Since we're getting in Thursday Night now - maybe I'll just hand out beer at the 10K instead of the Marathon...

Toss up between Alien Encounter and Figment with Dreamfinder.


We are planning on booking DVC through a friend, but her home resort is SSR and to get the resort we want we need to wait until the 7 month window. Trying to decide if I want to ask her to book it so we have the type of room we want even though it isn't at the resort we want.

AKL-value studio, booked Jan 5 (my birthday)-Jan 8! BFF from Toronto joining me!

I forgot about Alien Encounter! I missed that ride too! I love being scared and I love Aliens!

First time I went on it, I was in one of the seats that got the spot light as a 'lucky volunteer'. I about peed my pants and my bff laughed and laughed and laughed. Good times.

Horizons was my favorite as a kid, definitely miss that most.

 

[Goofed98]

Figment and Body Wars. Body Wars was the best!

.

Wow. Giving some thought to this had led me to discover that Disney has killed so many of my favorite rides!

Mr. Toad... World of Motion... Skyway... Horizons (okay maybe not a favorite, but I liked it more than I like Mission Space) ... Osborne Lights on the old residential street... Adventurer's Club ...

All worthy choices, but the winner must be Adventurer's Club.

Wait... no! Actually the original Journey Into Imagination!

Ack! That's close, but not the tippy top. My most missed extinct attraction is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Which is why I LOVED seeing the old ride vehicle during the marathon this year.

Yeah, we nabbed our home resort for now, but I have about 3 other places that I'd put above it for this trip. Fingers crossed (man, they are really going to hurt, after having been crossed for 4 months).

The Skyway terrified me as a young child. I would love to go back and ride them again. Alien Encounter also terrified me.

I would love to go re-experience Horizons and the original Living Seas Pavillion with Sea Base Alpha and the Hydrolator. I rode those when I was younger but don't really remember them.

I remember hearing someone say their parents convinced them there were 2 different endings to Mr Toad. You could either go to heaven or hell depending on how you had behaved in the park that day. They always hoped they would get the heaven ending...

Sea Base Alpha always makes me think of the preshow and hearing the lady say " And they rain, and rain, and rain. The deluge." I miss that.

And I miss Jeremy Irons say "Like a grand and miraculous spaceship." Apparently I miss people saying things.

I think I would like to revise my answer and say that I miss the 1989 version of Epcot as a whole.
