Groovy ~ that's a word that you don't hear much, but I like it
Yeah, groovy, I liked throwing that in, maybe another comment, I'll find a way to work Boss in, except that's back again now, so not the same

Re: What is your favorite Disneyland ride that no longer exi
Ok, I'll skip Boss then and just move up to Awesome, or go totally Brit and declare everything "Briiliant!". Yes, Groovy had me feeling very Austin Powers. The other favorite, at least here in SoCal in the 60's was Twitchin', borrowed and modified a bit from the surf culture.Amy wrote:Interesting - thanks!

country bear jamboree and people mover!!! i hate whinnie the pooh ride they should have never gotten rid of country bear that was an awesome attraction and made critter countrys atmosphear sublime
Re: What is your favorite Disneyland ride that no longer exi
Absolutely to the the Country Bear Jamboree. While I don't dislike the Pooh ride, I thought the Jamboree brought much more than the same-old dark ride style.
I just wish the whole Johnny Depp-inspiration would go away from Pirates of the Carribean, and we could get the original ride restored.

Wow, I'm impressed; that ride was open such a short time in '57-58, I've never met anyone who actually rode on it. We want pics !darthblixt wrote:Disneyland Viewliner! Always be my favorite.

I wish I had pics! Our family couldn't afford a camera. The train was a cool concept, if memory serves it traveled to tomorrowland. I forget where it started from but it only traveled between two of the lands. it was supposed to represent the future of train travel running next to the disneyland railroad that represented the past.

Excellent that you were able to ride it. I'll bet you miss an old part of Disneyland as much as I do that wasn't a ride but certainly a strong part of the Park: Skull Rock. Oh boy, did I love that, especially at night, with those glowing eyes! I was so happy when I finally got to Paris and there was Skull Rock again. Such an awesome, atmospheric element to the Parks; they should all have onedarthblixt wrote:I wish I had pics! Our family couldn't afford a camera.
