    I didn't even have to think about it. I just looked for Horizons on the list. I still have a strong emotional attrachment to this attraction. I would actually make a special trip for the opening day of Horizons if they brought it back. Yep, i'd make my entire trip (I only take one a year) about seeing Horizons. That's how much I loved it.

    I went with Horizons. EPCOT was my first park I ever did at 23 years old & I rode Horizons twice the first day. I would love for WDW to take the Wonders of Life pavilion and recreate an updated Horizons type ride in it.

    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 attractions listed in this poll.

    Cool

    It's not an attraction, but I miss seeing Figment and Dreamfinder. I remember our first trip in 1983, when my oldest son was not yet 2, and he was so very entertained by a guy dressed as Dreamfinder with Figment (a puppet) with him. Then we went into the ride and there were Figment and Dreamfinder in the ride too.

    I wish they'd bring Figment AND Dreamfinder back.

    Extra TERRORestrial Alien Encounter would be my first pick.

    But since that wasn't on the list...I went with Mr. Toad.

    Just as I was reaching to click the Mr. Toad's button, 'One Little Spark' inspired me to vote for the return of everyone's favorite kind of figment of the imagination...

    Two tiny wings
    Eyes big and yellow
    Horns of a steer
    But a loveable fellow
    From head to tail, he's wild purple pigment
    and there, voila, you've got a Figment!

    I said original Journey Into Your Imagination. It was the first ride I went on at Epcot and I think I rode it 4 times that day. I loved it.

    However I also wish they'd bring back Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I thought it was great. I also really liked Horizons and World of Motion and was disappointed that they were gone.

    There is only one answer to theis question, it's 20,000 leagues, no question. It was a as classic Disney as you can get and it looked as great from the outside as it was fun to ride. It added an ambience to the MK that's been lost ever since it closed.

    Well the one I probably would have picked (If You Had Wings) wasn't on the list, so I went with the original Journey Into Imagination.

    Of the ones listed, I think that's the best one that's no longer around.

    I did, though, take into consideration what park it was in. Like I could have gone with Mr. Toad, but MK already has so many great rides that it's loss isn't felt quite as much as JII in Epcot.

    Horizons was a ride the met the spirit of Epcot as well if not better than the others. It was all about looking forward to the future and thinking about improvements. An updated, new Horiszons attraction would go a long way to bringing back that spirit to Epcot.

    I chose 20k because it's the only one I remember! I visited WDW when I was 12 and then not again until all of these things were gone...I remember that I loved EPCOT more than the other parks though so I must have liked Horizons and the others too!

    That was a toss up for me, but I finally went with Horizons! Gosh, I sure do miss Horizons! I am SO glad that I taped on that ride years ago! I watch it sometime just to remember it.

    I also do miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It was one of my favorites, in MK! I found on You Tube someone taped during the entire ride! I was glad to see that!

    Since I never saw any of these attractions, I'm picking the one that sounds best to me, and that's 2,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

    Love those submarines!!!
