Extinct Attractions

[stitchhead28]

Okay, if you were to pick any extinct attraction that was formerly at Disneyland and bring it back to it's old former glory (or an updated version) what would it be and why? :cool:

[protostars]

Inner space,

But keep star tours also...

[Masquerade]

You're signature is kind of scary, stitchhead. o.o

I would say the subs, and hallelujah it's come true. I can't wait for those Nemo Subs!

I actually liked Rocket Rods too. (though I never went on the PeopleMover so I had no emotional attachments or anything.) We always used Single Rider so the wait was like five minutes each time. :smile:

[stitchhead28]

You're signature is kind of scary, stitchhead. o.o

Why would you say that? He's a cute little guy :biggrin:

[PeoplemoverMatt]

I would bring back...well...do I even need to say it? :cool:

-- Peoplemover "One day I'm going to wake up & there will be a functioning Peoplemover...one day..." Matt

[zosomouse]

Bring back the subs as they were with the former ride intact. Maybe add some torpedos and a nuclear missile or two. Send Nemo back out to the cartoon ocean everyone was trying to find him in!:p

[SubmarinemanKevin]

Matt and that one day the whole sky will be gold ith butterfly's flying all over..Hahahha just messin anyways Skyway or Peoplemove cus those were fun just to chill out...

[snoozy]

The Skyway!

[TimmyII]

I'd like to see returned to the park some of Walt's original attractions that people born in the late 60's (like myself) or beyond never got a chance to see. For example: Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland (I love trains),
Stage Coach Rides, and yes, The People Mover (so you can sit down and relax for a little while) along with Sky Way (to get to the other side of the park faster!). I also liked Inner Space....specially seeing the tiny riders inside the microscope while waiting in line! I also liked Mission to Mars. It was pretty cool when I was a kid!

[barfownz]

I would bring back...well...do I even need to say it? :cool:

-- Peoplemover "One day I'm going to wake up & there will be a functioning Peoplemover...one day..." Matt

i know what you would bring back, people mover! yes mat i would bring back that ride, i could remember going on that ride when i was like 5 but i can not remember rocket rods lol

[HollandBrynn1104]

I second that... the skyway! It was great. And handy.

[TowerGal_13]

:eek: Is that a trick question? I would pick Country Bear Jamboree!! Of course. :biggrin:

[stitchhead28]

:eek: Is that a trick question? I would pick Country Bear Jamboree!! Of course. :biggrin:

I AGREE!!! :biggrin: Rip out Winnie the Pooh and bring back the Country Bears!!!

[Masquerade]

I actually like Winnie the Pooh.. I had no idea what was going on in the ride though - it didn't make much sense, but it was enjoyable anyways. If they put CBJ back, it should replace Golden Dreams (never seen it, and I never saw anyone seeing it when I was there) because that area has the whole bear thing going on and DCA needs some more things badly..

[Legend_S]

I would want the pplmover back, of course theres other rides I want back, but not as much as the good ol' pplmover.;)

[barfownz]

I would want the pplmover back, of course theres other rides I want back, but not as much as the good ol' pplmover.;)

everyone wants it back but it kept breaking down and someone died on it, but it kept breaking down after the person died on it? is the track haunted? becuase rocket ods broke down on there also!

[alsoszaa]

You may or may not agree with this,

I think they should bring the Swiss Family treehouse back to replace the tarzan treehouse. I didn't care too much for the tarzan walkthrough.

I also think that the Main Street Electrical Parade should come back

[Masquerade]

I loved the Swiss Family treehouse.. I doubt little kids would even know what Swiss Family Robinson is though, but at the same time I don't think they know who Tom Sawyer is or what that book is about..
Albeit (I hate that word), I like the cheatah/leopard thing in the Tarzan treehouse; I always forget that it roars, and it makes me jump. :smile:

The MSEP is in DCA, isn't it? I'm glad it's there or else NO ONE would be there at night. o.o

[alsoszaa]

Just have to point out that Captain Hook is replying to Mr. Smee! :icon_lol:

[TowerGal_13]

that my friend is the BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :tongue: :eek:

I wish I could put more smilies!!:) => tee hee...


I actually like Winnie the Pooh
Not this I hate Him!!! :icon_evil

[WelcomeFoolishMortals999]

Why would you say that? He's a cute little guy :biggrin:
lol. I love the movie ur signature is from. Labyrinth is one of my favorites. It has a great soundtrack too which is in my iPod.

[tnicnat]

I think they should bring back Rocket to the Moon - I remember going in and feeling the sensation of leaving earth and landing on the moon - it was very exciting as a kid

Trac

[hawkster9542]

I never got to go on Monsanto's Adventure Through Inner Space, so I would love to see it return. However, my definite choices would be the PeopleMover and the Skyway. I almost cried when they took out the PeopleMover... I may wear all black, but I have feelings too, you know! ;)

When I was little (if you can ever believe I was little) I used to love the Skyway. It was my favorite ride because it went right through the Matterhorn and you were always so high above everyone else... it was like you were invincible. I got such a great feeling every time I rode that thing...

[~PrincessAriel~]

SKYWAY: That ride was way awesome! I'm dead afraid of heights but that's what would make it intense. I use to ride it as a kid but I wasn't afraid then. Dunno:confused:

THE ROCKET RODS: I only got to ride it once in 1999 during Dusk and it was an AMAZING experience! I just make sure I ride The Matterhorn during dusk now :cool:

[hawkster9542]

See, I'm not exactly afraid of heights... I'm afraid of FALLING from that height... :icon_lol:

[~PrincessAriel~]

See, I'm not exactly afraid of heights... I'm afraid of FALLING from that height... :icon_lol:

LOL :icon_lol: True, true. I'm afraid of FALLING too.

[hawkster9542]

Kind of like those dreams where you see yourself falling but you never hit the ground. Those are awesome, but I digress...

[~PrincessAriel~]

YIKES! Those dreams freak me out! They happen when I can't fall asleep, then when I finally do I have those never-ending falling dreams. I'm too excited about my trip on Wednesday--watch I'm gonna get one of those dreams falling from the Skyway or something :icon_shoc

[Executioner]

I think they should bring back the skyway, but instead of the way the buckets were, have them designed more like a Ninja style car suspended from a track and not cables with harnesses to hold you in. I'm not saying have it a fast ride, just the cars designed so you can't hop out at anytime. The only issue still being would be throwing things overboard.

[TowerGal_13]

LOL :icon_lol: True, true. I'm afraid of FALLING too.


Me too I would hate to have the cable snap, that would be bad [Falling :eek:],
but I have never been on that. I wasnt born..lol!

Oh and by the way have a fun trip!! Go on the Haunted Mansion for me :wink:!

[Disneyland_Wolf]

I agree with you guys. I am scared of falling down on a high place.

[Indyjohn]

People Mover! I like the relaxing tour after eating.

[Indy #1 Fan]

I've always wished the Subs would come back and Hallelujah! Thank God! I always wanted the subs to come back instead of leaving the lagoon empty.

[Capstan]

I'm an old geezer, so I'm going to take some liberty with the question and say I'd bring back the entire 1968 Tomorrowland. It was such a well-integrated design, where you could have a great time, just sitting, doing nothing, just by keeping your eyes open. I think the '68 "World on the Move" should have been declared a National Monument and made open to the public, free of charge, 24/7. Get it?

[luvwaltdisney]

lol. I love the movie ur signature is from. Labyrinth is one of my favorites. It has a great soundtrack too which is in my iPod.

I wondered if that was from Labyrinth! I loved that movie too! Remember the bog of eternal stench?

[clippers2playoffs]

the skyway, i loved seeing the park and going throught the matterhorn mountain. I still walk by the now-hidden station in fantasyland remembering what it was like to climb those stairs as a kid

[strivingstarlet]

I also think it would be great to see the return of the Skyway. I remember when I was too little to go on the Matterhorn, I thought it was pretty cool to be able to see inside the mountain from the Skyway.

Although I know all the critters are now more than happy living it up in Splash Mt, I also have to say America Sings because I never got to experience that and it sounds like my kind of thing.

[koutesu]

I would have to say People Mover and Skyway. They were relaxing. The People Mover's line was short since it the cars the never stopped and the people were able to enter the cars at a good, steady flow. It's funny. When these attractions were around, you got to pass through 3 mountains at Disneyland. People Mover showed you the inside of Space Mountain, Skyway showed you the insided of Matterhorn, and the Disneyland Railroad still shows you the Zip a dee doo dah scene from Splash Mountain.

[dlander]

I would love to see the parks bring back the people mover. I was really young when they took that out so i dont remember much from it.

[sp 4449]

the origanal uncut submarine voyage but I gess I'm happy with a nemo version I'd also like to see the origanal retlaw cars back on the disneyland railroad but that will never happen its a good dream thogh

[bertgca]

I've got to put in a vote for the flying saucers and the mine train. Two classics.

[ttztotdca50]

I actually like Winnie the Pooh.. I had no idea what was going on in the ride though - it didn't make much sense, but it was enjoyable anyways. If they put CBJ back, it should replace Golden Dreams (never seen it, and I never saw anyone seeing it when I was there) because that area has the whole bear thing going on and DCA needs some more things badly..

How can you get rid of an attraction if you've never been on it before?!

[disneymaster2.0]

wat ever happened to rocket rods that used to be my favorite ride ever at disneyland and than they take the one thing i ever loved

[chadb14]

Word has it that the rocket rods were to destructive to the track, because of all of the hard breaking. I would love to see the people mover come back, but they would be using the same tracks and it is a question of whether or not the track is in good condition.
I wouldn't mind having the sky way back either.
Has anyone checked out this site - http://www.yesterland.com/
Plenty of old attractions to choose from there.

[disneymaster2.0]

well chadb14 that website is nice and it even showed the dinamics.....i think they need to bring them back, unlike when i said they need to take out thunder mountain cause it is destructictive they need to bring the rocket rods cause they were so popular and fun

[sp 4449]

check out the rummer mill rummer has it that the people mover is
coming back all there is to do is sit and wait hey the subs thing started as a rummer and look at it now

[sp 4449]

the yesterland site is cool but its realy out of date and needs to be updated

[Disneyland_Wolf]

the yesterland site is cool but its realy out of date and needs to be updated

And why it is called Yesterland? Because it is meant to be old. Get it Yesterland.

[jennifer]

America Sings they can update the songs if they like but the pop goes the weasel was cute

[disneymaster2.0]

they should put rocket rods back on.....i went on it 10 times in a row(sure it took me 6 hours),but it didnt break down once

[soleman723]

Captain EO! I seriosly loved watching that show.

I say they rip out the Pooh ride.... I've never taken acid, but I think it would be what I think a acid trip would be like.

[TowerGal_13]

are you a psyhic? lol because that is exactly what it is!!!

[sp 4449]

I just remembered the last time I was at disneyland I saw the the gullywhumper (for those who don't know she was part of a 2 boat fleet of keel boats) sitting forlornly in the river don't call me weird but she almost looked sad. she is slowly dieing you know what water does to wood she sits their now day in and day out calling for her sister who was sold on ebay why can't the get gullywhumper back in operation she had one accedent and what ever the problem was it could be fixed thats how Walt would have wanted it Gullywhumper and her sister were built because Walt thought the river was not busy enoph so I ask why not recomishen the Gullywhumper !!!

[twfeline]

Rocket Rods. So much fun that the line was very long.
Flying Saucers. Just too cool.
Only been on each once.

[clippers2playoffs]

i never got to go on rocket rods or peoplemover!!!!

[AlexLoup]

Peoplemover: For the Tron tunnel (I grew up almost on Tron)
And Carasoel(?) of Progess: just because I want to how they would up date it

And whoever has the Bleach Avatar: Spirts are always with you! Bowhahahaha!

[unit23]

both me and my dad agree that the people mover was getting kinda old, rocket rods, i think, was definately worth the wait! they just need to put something up there! everytime im there it drives me insane to see nothing moving along that track!

[protostars]

Carasoel(?) of Progess: just because I want to how they would up date it


they did...it's called innoventions ;)

[PeoplemoverMatt]

^ That would imply Innoventions is progress of some form right? :tongue:

-- PMM :cool:

[Sesshomaru-sama]

To tell you the truth, I would bring back Rocket Rods. I do like the Peoplemover, but, somehow, I would prefer the ride that soars through popular rides in Tommorowland fast. Also, I would like to return Submarine Voyage. I don't know what's going to be like with Finding Nemo in it. I don't know if the ride will be like the origional with an Finding Nemo addition, or the whole ride will be about Finding Nemo. Could someone send me a private message about that? I would like to know. So far as I could think of right now, those two rides I would like to bring back to Disneyland.
Sincerely, a brother of a half-demon,
Sesshomaru-sama

[unit23]

i agree, i do remember the people mover and it was a good ride to "take it easy" on but ever since the rocket rods went up there, theres no room for a slow ride. i think they should just redo that ride.

[Executioner]

i agree, i do remember the people mover and it was a good ride to "take it easy" on but ever since the rocket rods went up there, theres no room for a slow ride. i think they should just redo that ride.

No room for a slow ride? Of course there is. Rocket Rods was a financial blunder. Not going to mention the engineering part of it either. Bringing it back would just be stupid. They would probably have to rebuild the track for anything fast. I think they should have another slow ride up there. Or make it a walk thru thing.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

They might have to rebuild the track for anything. I also don't follow the logic that post-Rocket Rods there's no room for a slow(er) ride. Peoplemover wasn't exactly Heimlech's Chew Chew Train, it hit a pretty good clip on some places. There's plenty to see in Tomorrowland, a ride giving you a tour of it all would not at all be a bad idea. What about dear Aunt Sally who would love seeing Space Mountain but can't because of she can't take long waits or roller coasters? What about little Timmy who isn't tall enough to ride anything yet but would love having an up-close encounter with the Monorail? What about the family who just needs to get off their tired feet for a few and can enjoy some great sites together as a family in 1 car while they're at it? Peoplemover gave so much and asked so little, one of the reasons why its senseless and pointless death was so sad.

What we're going to have to watch is what they do with the portion of track that runs parallel to the Monorail track when the Monorail station is demolished and rebuilt. That should prove interesting.

-- Peoplemover "You learn from mistakes and you go with what works, you don't rebuild one of your greatest blunders of all time." Matt

[kennyrules]

I'd say update Rocket Rods so it won't be such an engineering problem. Since Buzz is where the old queue used to be, I'd start the line in the Innoventions building as the transportation section. Then there would be a new walkway leading from Innoventions to the Rocket Rods station. One of the upgrades would be to get rid of that crazy height limit. What kid has never ridden in a car with a seatbelt? My little brother never got to do Rocket Rods before it met it's end.:icon_cry: Then everyone who wanted to could do it, and it would provide an enjoyable, quick ride. Maybe they could change it to be like the cars in Logan's Run.:icon_lol: Or they should just put the Peoplemover back (but could it be a bit faster?)

[CLASSIC HM]

Rocket Rods was a great idea, but it wasn't meant to be. Bring back the People Mover. It seems to be the more popular choice.

[jennifer]

they will never bring back Skyway because it is not wheel chair accessible and it would cost too much to make it wheel chair accessible. And Disneyland wants all rides to be wheel chair accessible. I want them to bring back CBJ and keep pooh. pooh's cool for the little kids. i agree bring back people Mover just update it. It's was a nice ride that you could take a break and rest a while on.

[Chatterbug]

Have to ask this What year did they stop People Mover? I do remember it from when I was a kid although I never got to go on it. If it ever returns I will go on it for sure. It's kinda funny I want this ride to come back just for People Mover Matt since he is so devoted to it.

[ichabod crane]

I'd want the country bears to come back (Strange coming from a 13 year old isn't it)

Very Well put Matt, and not is it well said it is very very true, on my trip to WDW, that was the very first ride we went on. it brought back many great memories, even if it was not at ours. ^_^

[TowerGal_13]

I'd want the country bears to come back (Strange coming from a 13 year old isn't it)


In order YES!!! and No!!!

[Space Mountain Mike]

Innerspace and Peoplemover and I'm not sure about the order, it's a toss up. At least when they took out Innerspace they replaced it with something so that's one redeeming quality. I think they should have put Star Tours where Honey I Shrunk The Audience is....it's a movie....they should just publish it on DVD and kept Innerspace.

[RocketRodsluver123]

The rocket rods definetly, lots of people loved the ride, so yup the rocket rods need to come back now!!!

[disneycraze045]

Bring back the subs as they were with the former ride intact. Maybe add some torpedos and a nuclear missile or two. Send Nemo back out to the cartoon ocean everyone was trying to find him in!:p

Don't be so mean to Nemo! That's a great show and I can't wait until the Submarine Voyage with Finding Nemo opens up.

Personally, I wish they would bring back the Rocket Rods with the neccessary changes needed.

By the way, what's so wrong with Pooh? CBJ shouldn't have been closed, but Pooh is a nice little ride.

[Space Mountain Mike]

some dumb person might jum out of it.frown:

Some dumb person DID jump out of it, according to Mouse Tales (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0964060566/qid=1134435236/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-2901140-0279227?n=507846&s=books&v=glance) some guy (I forgot his name) was playing with the door handle and it opened and he fell out and landed in the trees between Matterhorn and Alice In Wonderland ride. He survived but was busted up pretty bad. People were also throwing their drinks down on people below.

[rocketrod21]

I think they should bring back Rocket Rods. That was the coolest ride to me. It was high up, went really fast around tomorrowland and it did wheelies. I remember riding in the front. The way the seats were positioned made the ride seem really fast.

He sustained only minor injuries becuase he conveniently landed in that tree. The Skyway car was inspected and the outer lock was working properly. He would have to lean halfway out of the car to undo the outer latch. He finally admitted to climing out of the car on his own power in court.

Why Rocket Rods? Why not People Mover?

[PeoplemoverMatt]

*stops Rods vs Peoplemover debate before it begins*

Both sides have made their cases in the past. There isn't much new to say about this issue. In all honesty, the only real thing I see happening is either the return of Peoplemover, or some sort of hybrid w/ the Rods so the outdoor part beyond Innoventions over Autopia is more high-speed while saving the indoor parts for the slow ride browsing. I wouldn't mind that at all.

-- Peoplemover "Rods were a good idea in theory, they just turned out to be one of the worst engineering blunders in WDI history" Matt

[dctrdez]

To take it to a whole different land, I think they should bring back Big Thunder BBQ. Mundane, I know, but Frontierland (being my childhood favorite) will soon become extinct if things continue the way they might (I'm talking Toy Story concept with Woody and friends). It used to be that you could walk around the Big Thunder area and really believe that you were in the 1840s near a gold mine. Now I just experience theming schizophrenia and I can't decide whether I'm still in Fantasyland or New Orleans square. It's the little things like BT-BBQ that made frontierland what it was.

And put something back on the Peoplmover tracks. You know you want to.

[guitarcutie]

Since the first time I went to Disneyland was three years ago nothing I've ridden has ever been changed. I know I will miss the origional Pirates if they change it though

[Disneyland's#1fan!]

I would bring back the PeopleMover! It was (with out a dought) the best extinct Disneyland attraction in my opinion. It was great, the relaxing journey through all the Tomorrowland rides. And (do I have to say it?) styilish vehicals.

[Jade]

what would you even do in peoplemover. i have always wanted to know that.

[buckykatt100]

i would definitely bring back people mover. or at least put something on the track. i never got to ride it, but i rode rocket rods once and it was so fun. i really want that track to be used soon!

[crystaltink]

I agree. I really liked the People Mover.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

what would you even do in peoplemover. i have always wanted to know that.

You'd not wait in line for it 90% of the time, then you'd be able to sit down and take a overhead tour of Tomorrowland. Peoplemover went through Star Tours, Star Trader, Space Mountain, Tron (2nd floor Innoventions), above Autopia, right next to the Monorail in its station, Circle-Vision queue (now BLAB queue), and around back to the Peoplemover station in the heart of Tomorrowland. It was a great 10 minute break from all the hustle & bustle, crowds, heat, sun, and gave riders a chance to really take in their surroundings.

-- PMM :cool:

[lxgfusion]

I'd Say People Mover And America Sings.

People Mover Is A Great Relaxation Ride, Plus Seeing All That Scenery On The Trip Was VERY Nice.

America Sings Was A Great Show For The Time, Always Had A Blast On Both Of Those.

Innnerspace Was Ok, I Wouldnt Mind Seeing It Come Back, Although Star Tours Is Somewhat Entertaining.

I Remember Alot Of Those Rides As If I Was On Em Yesterday, Seeing The Telescope In Innerspace, Watching The Tiny People Flow Through It :)

[Nightlyre]

I'm with the Peoplemover crowd here. The Tomorrowland Transportation Authority was one of the best parts of the Magic Kingdom in WDW. It was nice to get above Tomorrowland and relax again!

I would love to see an updated version of Adventures thru Innerspace. I barely remember riding it at all, the only thing I clearly remembered was being frightened of the giant eye!

[Kieh]

People Movers and Country Bear Jamboree

[Space Mountain Mike]

Not to mention that the circle visions cueue was a show in itself. I vaguely remember that they had a demonstration on how telephone technology works. It was sponsored by AT & Thttp://www.visionsfantastic.com/forum/gallery/files/1880-1977-082.jpg

[forgottenrelic]

lol. i actually really like rocket rods, though i remember the peoplemover as well. I don't care which one they (hopefully) bring back as long as they use those tracks. It seems so empty without anything on them. :]

[CLASSIC HM]

One wish of mine is coming true: the return of the subs. I would also like for the Skyway and the Country Bears to return as well as Paul Free's work for Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Oldhotelguy]

I would bring back the Monorail cafe or a wing of two-story garden Suites at the Disneyland Hotel.

[Executioner]

Yeah I miss the Monorail Cafe, But I really miss the underwater Atari Arcade Center at the hotel and the paddle boats you could rent.
