You can find a home video recording of Magic Journeys (almost in its entirety) on Mousebits.com.
It's in Part 3 of the "History of Fantasyland" video series.

Aside from the primitive visual...

I've seen the pictures of the new Disneyland ride and I've seen a video of the Hong Kong ride and I still feel the addtions are unnecessary.

What's even more evident in the revision of SSE, specifically the ending, is the gradual mediation of experience as result of technology. I think people are becoming increasingly isolated and...

Though not exactly a "ride", Swiss Family Treehouse is amazing at night time.

I don't think the attraction needs any changes. Seriously, how is the inclusion of some Disney characters going to make it any more interesting or relevant. If anything it'll trivialize the ride and...

No offense taken. I appreciate your opinion even though I don't entirely agree with it. I was merely trying to provide some insight as to why the ride continues to be a source of fascination for some...

If you have the time, I highly recommend reading Mike Lee's article on the ride located at widenyourworld.net. It's one of the few articles I've read that does the ride justice and provides some...

I hated that wand with a passion. It felt so out of place and detracted from the beauty of the SE geosphere. The same could be said about the entrance and track around Test Track, which desecrates...

...Mr. Toad took his last wild ride.


R.I.P.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
(October 1, 1971 to September 7, 1998)

To a certain extent, I think of Soarin' as an updated version of If You Had Wings except without all the exotic locales and the theme song.

Here's a list of what I'd bring back and the changes that would be made to each attraction:

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride


Incorporate a spinning ride system like that used in Buzz Lightyear or...

I wouldn't miss any of the following:


MAGIC KINGDOM


The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management


The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Swiss Family Treehouse is really good at night.

From what I've seen on a number of blog sites and forums, a clone of DCA's Little Mermaid ride will be coming to Fantasyland in 2011 or 2012.

From what I've heard, a Snow White/7 dwarfs mining rollercoaster is rumored for the MK sometime in 2011. However, I personally would like to see Disney bring back Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and...

Must-See:

The American Adventure
Living with the Land
Soarin'
Spaceship Earth


Worth a Look:

Recreate the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

With all of its technological shortcomings, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was a very authentic experience and fairly well designed attraction. It's perhaps the most memorable and most resourceful of the...

I've been hearing a lot of rumors lately that WDW's Carousel of Progress and Disneyland's Innoventions will both be replaced with a video screen attraction based on Pixar's Wall-E. Does anybody have...

World of Motion
The Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
Epcot Entrance Music (particularly "Energy," "Fun to Be Free," and "Listen to the Land.")
Spaceship Earth (1994-2007)...

The only improvements I can think of are:

1. Mickey's Philarmagic - It's interesting to note that this attraction combines elements of all the previous attractions that operated in the same spot....

Of the many extinct attractions, Disney should seriously consider bringing back the following:

1. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
2. Journey Into Imagination
3. The Enchanted Tiki Room
4. Main Street,...

I agree that Space Mountain doesn't need music. If music were to be added, I would go with Holst's The Planets or something from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've heard the Disneyland soundtrack and I...

It's been a retail store for almost ten years now. For many years, it was a small movie theater that initially showed a variety of silent short films (by such filmmakers as Chaplin, Keaton, Arbuckle,...

Favorite Rehab: It's a Small World (2004-2005 rehab).

Least Favorite Rehab: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh over Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Pooh should have been built somewhere else. Bring back...
