CD-Not exactly the ones I was thinking of, but it works...soggy AAQ to you!

 

[CoasterAddict]

Oops, sorry MBabe, didn't see your earlier posting <bows humbly and hands over dripping AAQ card>.

Actually, the Epcot attraction I was thinking of was Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (dog sneeze).

Category: The World that Never Was

In the early plans for Magic Kingdom, Pirates of the Caribbean was not supposed to be installed. Rather, a similar boat ride was to be opened with a different theme. Name the theme and the name of the ride that never left the drawing board.

 

[Distriv]

Ahhhhh, I read something about this! But I can't remember it!
*hits head on keyboard*
Was the theme something along the lines of a jungle expedition?

Well, I'm out of here for a bit, I got my copy of the new Harry Potter in the mail today. Its comes out tomorrow but I guess Barnes & Noble shipped it early.

 

[carpedm]

Sorry, not a Jungle Cruise.

Hello...(hello, hello..) Anybody here this afternoon?

 

[B'rer Karen]

<gasp> You got yours already? I'm headed to Barnes & Noble after work to get my number and hang out til midnight to get my copy. And yes, I know my life is sad. LOL

To keep me honest, I'll guess the boat ride was Isles of the Mediterannean.

 

[carpedm]

Nope, not isles of the Mediterannean.

 

[Mike_in_FL]

Buccaneers of the Gulf Coast?

Carpedm.... Are you thinking of Thunder Mesa/Western River Expedition?

Eventually it was re-tooled into BTMRR instead.

 

[carpedm]

MB gets the Lost AAQ.

Western River Expedition was to be a western themed dark ride such as PoC. However, when people started demanding PoC in Florida, the effort went towards putting that attraction in instead of WRE. The Thunder Mesa theme was later resurrected for BTMRR.

What's interesting is that Disney did not want to put in PoC initially because they thought that the theme would be too familiar to people living in Florida. I've never lived in Florida, but I'm fairly certain they don't have pirates sacking towns any longer, even in 1970.

I'm done for today. See everyone on Monday.

 

[MickeyBabe]

Thanks, I had better use this before I lose it

Clearly you've never been near the beaches there during spring break.

[Distriv]

Sorry everyone, the above post is me under my friends screen name, it wouldn't let me delete the post so I thought I should tell everyone.

 

[Jay Since 72]

Gotta be the Haunted Mansion.

 

[MickeyBabe]

Distriv.... you had me going there for a moment .... I'll agree with our new player Jay72.... The Haunted Mansion....

But I would like to add that the CMs at Tower of Terror don't smile either. I'm not sure if it is in their job description the way it is at the Haunted Mansion

Welcome Jay Since 72!

We love having new players join in. Make yourself at home.





Distriv.... What are you feeding those tumbleweeds? They seem to be getting bigger

Hi MK.... Thanks for the Welcome home . Enjoy your book, I'm guessing you get to read it after your DD
