I have great memories of my parents convincing my younger brother that we were actually going to be shrunk on the Inner Space journey.....and his reactions when we exited the ride and were the same as we went in.

that will always make it on to the top of my favorites list. Followed closely by the rocket rods.

Well mine is not a ride but I totally miss the Country Bear Jamboree, that was a tradition in our family to see the Country Bears at night after we ate at the Big Thunder Ranch back in the day...man, I can still smell that BBQ!

That sounds like a great tradition! Sounds like those two would go pretty well together and it would be a nice way to aid digestion by the toe tappin'!

The ride I miss that no longer exists is the classic Pirates ride!

I have to agree with the Skyway. To me it just took something away from the park as a whole.

I miss the Peoplemover and the Carousel of Progress.

Country Bear Jamboree. Oh, how I miss thee.

Imagine it at DCA in the Grizzly Peak area with all new AA's. <imagines> Please excuse me, I'm gonna need a moment.

Hi there. Where do I begin? I guess PeopleMover would top my list, my looonngg list. I guess I'm just a natural-born sightseer at heart and PM with its vantage point and ersatz music was a great time-eater. Also Country Bear Jamboree gets a special mention; great music and corny humor=priceless. And just to round things out; Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. What can I say, I'm also a history geek. Later, peace.

The correct answer is actually The Peoplemover & Adventure Thru Inner Space. Just wanted to clarify that.

I agree. The updates are great, but I really miss the old Pirates of the Caribbean.

I miss everything that's gone!! But a few that haven't made the list yet -

Walking (Climbing stairs) through the Castle to see the Sleeping Beauty Story
The Villain Shop
Keel Boats - those guys were hilarious!
Fort Wilderness - fav and ONLY spot in Dis where you could get a Root Beer.

Weren't they going to revamp the walk through of Sleeping Beauty's castle? Whatever happened? I miss that as well!

Sad, I never did get to ride the keel boats.

I thought they were revamping the castle as well. But I also heard it wasn't wheelchair accessible and so they're not going to re-open it. Whether that is true or not, I don't know. Supposedly that was part of the reason they took away the Skyride too. That it would cost too much money to make the entrances/exits wheelchair accessible.?????

The keel boats were kind of like the Jungle Cruise in the Wilderness...."Hello all you Buccaneers, Pioneers, Bombardiers, Volunteers, Engineers, Mousketeers, all you lovely lovely ladies............ And all you other ladies too."

Good times! Once when we were on them, we ran into one of the rafts to Tom Sawyer Island. Oops!! - No one was on the raft and no one was hurt. I think our Boat Driver was freaked out.

The Keelboats were great (and the '71 theme is one of my treasured tracks), and the Villian Shop was a must visit as well. I think the Heraldry shop that's there now fits in pretty well, and at least they're doing something with it. I still miss the wicked witch in the cage though!
