Which retired attraction do you wish you could have ridden?

[Scubee]

It's been asked before, but talking about old attractions are some of my favorite Dis threads. Plus, for those new to visiting (both the World and the Dis), I'm always interested in what you think. So, just for fun...

Which retired attraction do you wish you could have ridden but didn't or perhaps never had the chance to? It could be an attraction that you've heard about, read about, watched the old videos of, but it was retired before you began going to the World. Maybe it was an attraction your parents wouldn't take you on.

Here's mine: My first trip to MK was at the age of ten. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea looked amazing! The water, the ships, the waterfall and cave! We made four trips before it closed. My parents, who I think were probably claustrophobic, always had a reason why we couldn't ride the attraction. I never got the chance to experience it!

And now, my attractions calendar features Tokyo Disney Sea's "Mysterious Island" for the month of February.

The skyway. I always thought the views would have been great.

When we went in 2004, I was hoping to ride Body Wars but it was not open during our visit in August.

This. Everything else that ever interested me I've experienced. Been going to WDW since 1972. Disneyland is a different story. Even though I've been there 6 times since 1968, there's lots I never got to do.

 

[DSLRuser]

Been a regular since 1992, first trip was 1981. The only thing I think I have missed is...

THE SWAN BOATS.

I know it is cheesy, but I think it would be fun.

 

[L&Lfan]

The swan boats was a lovely and relaxing ride around the hub which my parents loved and I didn't appreciate at the time. Now that I'm my parents' age, I wish they were still around.

The skyway. I always thought the views would have been great.

We rode it several times. As YouTube videos will show the views were mostly of the tops of ride buildings that looked like what they were, large warehouse type buildings with a couple of feet of facade on them. It was an enjoyable ride but not as spectacular as one might think.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Ugh... I HATED this!


Any ride in Disneyland... Never been!

Not rides but the original Spectromagic, and the gold coach from the Cinderella live action film.

I was one of the few people who actually loved this attraction! DH and I would be terrified!!! I wish they would bring it back and replace the yucky Stitch ride.

I also wish I could have ridden Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I miss Spectromagic as well. Bringing back the MSEP was fun for a while, but I'm tired of it now. Spectro was way better.

We did get to see the gold coach, though Multiple times. I didn't think my wife was ever going to leave.

I agree that I wish they would bring Spectro back. Now I started going to Disney in 1989 when I was 4, but I grew up with Spectromagic and I would love watching the parade. MSEP does not do anything for me personally since I never remembered it and I few it as a little more childish, not that I'm saying that it is bad. I enjoyed the music to Spectro.

 

[Minnie222]

The Skyway. I have never been on it. When I first saw pics of it, I couldn't believe that they had such a thing in MK.

Another thing (not a ride) I want is Pop Century Legendary Years. I like the idea of it and I like Monopoly Game.
Every time I see AoA's Mermaid section, I would remember what it should have been.

The skyway. I always thought the views would have been great.

The skyway was wonderful, went on that a lot as a kid. I still think the park looks like there's something missing without it

Horizons

I'm so sorry. As you can see from my logo, it was my favorite. I miss it soooo much.

 

[epcotty]

Horizons

Epcot also has that "missing something feeling" to me with Horizons, that was so good and was one of the definitive attractions of Future World

 

[ChimCher-ee]

Maybe the original Figment. Then I could understand why fans love it so. (I've seen YouTube recordings, but it needs to be in person...?)
