MK Attractions You Miss

[danny1649]

Since your first visit to WDW what attraction has closed you really miss?Don't laugh but I miss Mr. Toad ride.DW really enjoyed the Sky Buckets and the view of MK you got.Grandchildren now teens miss 20,000 LUTS.Delta Dream Flight was nice but we don't miss it,love Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin!!!!!!!!!!Anyone remember Dream Flight?

There are several. Besides the Skyway, I miss Magic Journeys (I think that's what it was called), it was a 3D show in MK. The reason I miss that one is that although I never did it, I looked forward to doing it one trip, then got there and found it had recently closed. I also miss the Top of the World Sunday Brunch, Streetmosphere Characters in MGM (guess they might be still around-I just haven't seen them in the last several trips-not since 2000), 20,000 Leagues, running into characters randomly instead of "Meet and Greet", eating at Aunt Polly's, Superstar TV in MGM, Sorcery in the Sky Fireworks, Future Corps band in Epcot, anyone else?

I think one of my favorite attractions that's gone now is Dreamflight. For some reason this ride stuck to me. I think though that buzz is a better ride. I also miss the Skyway, we always took from fantasyland to tomorrowland. It was never the other way because the tomorrowland station was always packed. I didn't understand why people would favorite like 30 minutes for the skyway when they can walk to fantasyland in less than 5 minutes.

The only attraction at MK that I miss would probably be the Main Street Cinema on Main Street. It was a nice relaxing place and it was fun seeing all the old cartoons in an old-time movie theater. I also miss seeing Cinderella ride in her crystal pumpkin coach in the parades insteed of having it just used for weddings or just out for decoration.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I only miss it, because I never got to do it. I was there in 93/94, but nevever made it on this ride. And it's such a shame to see the wasteland this area has become.

I also miss Timekeeper. This is such a cool experience, I wish I could have seen it more time than I got to.

I miss the Carosel of Progress... I know its still open, but it wasn't open last time I went and I doubt it will be open in two weeks when we return....


We want COP all year round!

 

[mcgrawfan]

I too wish COP was open all year round. We will be going again in January, and I am sure it will be closed. Also, although I don't miss 20,000 Leagues, I wish they would make more use of the area that onced housed it.

 

[JetMom]

I also miss COP. We try to go in the off-season, so it's very frustrating not to be able to ride.

I am sorry that my boys never got to ride Mr. Toad, even though they love Pooh.

I also enjoyed 20,000 Leagues.

In MK, I also miss Dream Flight. However, the thing that I miss the most is the penny arcade that was down Main Street.

don't laugh- i miss 20,000 leagues- this was the very first disney ride i went on in 1966 at disneyland and my kids had enjoyed it here at wdw. we know it was a bit lame, but it brings back some of the original "wonder" for me.

I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride the most, that was one heck of a fun ride! I'll admit I haven't yet been on the Pooh ride yet, so I can't say if Pooh is an improvement or not. 20,000 leagues was also a good ride - and what's worse, nothing is being done with that spot of the park... such a big open area, there's got to be something they can add there. The skyways were also a good ride, wish those were around too.

 

[DrKnow77]

Anyone remember Mission to Mars (where Alien Encounter now resides)? I don't remember the ride very well (I was a young tike!)... but I remember I liked it alot when I was a kid!

MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! MR TOAD! and the Skyway

 

[DramaTech]

I'll chime in for CoP and TimeKeeper, too. It's such a shame to miss attractions that aren't even gone yet!

We found the old movies playing in a little theater at the back of the Town Square Exposition Hall. This is the building to the right as you come into MK. The ambience isn't the same but it was nice to sit down in the air conditioning and see Steamboat Willie again.

Right now the "If You Had Wings" song is playing in my head. I really enjoyed the cliff diving scene...

I love the Expo Hall! It is such a cool place. It's not the same as the old Cinema, but it's still great. And it has seats! I actually think I like it better in some ways, but the ambiance was pretty cool at the old one. Plus, it's a nice place to look for Princesses. I know I've seem Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Mary Poppins here.

Mr Toad (I used to hope I'd ride in "Winky"!). I also miss all the rides that were "If You Had Wings" and "DreamFlight"; I remember them fondly as cool (as in cold) rides with no lines even during the heat of summer.

I also miss Superstar TV and the original Sound Show next door. My DS (teen at the time) was picked for both: he was Gilligan on STV and one of the four "Foley" artists (I think the one responsible for footsteps?) who put sound to Chevy Chase and Martin Short.

The kids and I really miss the Skyway and have great memories of my wife "freaking out" over the movement of the bucket and the height.

My son and I have great memories of playing baseball on the old mechanical pinball games on Main Street 12-14 years ago while the wife and daughter shopped.

But, like many others, we absolutely love the COP. We are arriving on January 2 and are going straight to the COP, hoping it will be open due to the New Year's crowds. Keeping our fingers crossed.
