Your favorite WDW ride....now extinct?

[Stepharoonie!]

So tell me, what was your favorite, but now missing, ride at any of the WDW parks?

Mine was If You Had Wings. I actually found a website the other day about it, and it was amazing to look at the pictures and remember the ride.

My boyfriend also told me that there used to be a type of boat ride in the moat around Cinderella Castle...but I do not remember this. Does anyone else??

If you had wings was my favorite also. I do have a very fuzzy video a friend sent me so I can refresh my memory (have to use my memory, the video is really dark). The boats you are talking about were the swan boats. I remember seeing them but never went on them myself.

Probably the Hunchback show at MGM. It wasn't the greatest show IMO, but it was nice while it was here. At least one good thing happened since it was closed- Beauty and the Beast started back with shows 7 days a week.

I don't remember If You Had Wings; but I do really miss Mr Toads Wild Adventure. Is the ride still in CA or is that now gone, too?

I miss-

Delta Dream Flight
Mr. Toad
Horizons (I only got to go on this one time before it was banished. )

I also miss 20,000 leagues just for the fact that we could be going on it and not looking at wasted space.

My favorites would be
1) the original Journey into Imagination ride
2) Horizons
3) 20,000 Leagues under the Seas Submarines

I miss World of Motion...I loved the humor.

Also, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride....Our daughter drove her grandparents straight to h--- at the age of 12...on their first trip to WDW...made a wonderful family inside joke which still comes up 8 years later.

Even though the ride is still there, I miss the name "WEDway people mover". There was just something about that name that is currently missing.

I miss MR TOAD!!! Yes Soltwisch Mr Toad is still running in California, it's a little far for me to travel, but I can deal with it since I still CAN ride it.

Since I can still fly to Cali and ride Mr Toad, I have to agree the "Original" Journey into Imagination is a big one for me...

I agree... it will always be the people mover to me....

Mission to mars is an oldie but goodie... SKy Buckets... LOVE those! But prefer the ones at DL as they went thru the Matahorn (are the DL ones still there?)

And I hope and pray I will never have to add CoP to this list.....

 

[FreshTressa]

20,000 leagues. I never got to ride the other ones!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Yikes! I forgot about the ORIGINAL Journey Into Imagination!! THAT was one of my favorite rides.....along with Haunted Mansion When I was last at Epcot for my birthday, I was really upset with the new JII. What a shame!! I miss Dreamfinder! Bring him back!

Our family loved World of Motion.

My memory is a bit hazy.. was Delta Dream Flight and If You had Wings the some thing or not? Was one a circlevision (is that what it is called) movie?

I miss the skyway too. My DD was a bit scared of it, but I had to ride every time.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame's at MGM was a big loss. There were visits where I kept coming back all day!

It was disappointing to experience 20,000 League Under the Sea as a teen, return 25 years later looking to share it with my own kids and find out it is gone...

But the most catastrophic disapointment was the look in my children's eyes when I told them that they closed the Alien Encounter!

Disney's Imagineers think with the same bodily organs they use to excrete, if you please allow me to openly express my deepest thoughts on the matter...

CoolDisneyCat:
If you had wings and Delta Dreamflight were similar but not the same. If you had wings was first and Delta Dreamflight replaced it when they changed sponsors from Eastern Airlines to Delta. The circlevision you remember was called America the Beautiful.

I miss Horizons and World in Motion
I keep hearing a lot about The Hunchback show I saw it in 1996 and thought it one of the worst things in Disney i thought the juggler was much better

Am I missing something?!!
