I don't really remember. I think I found it on a blog somewhere, but for the life of me I can't remember which one.

Adventures Through Innerspace followed by the People Mover. I never got to ride the UFO one or that might make my list. It looks like fun.

Horizons!!! I know I must have driven my parents crazy with that ride. Every time they would ask what we wanted to go on, I would say Horizons, regardless what park we were in....I remember going on three times in a row, just to experience each ending..... :D

It's Horizons, hands down for me. One of the best rides ever, and one of the worst decisions ever by WDW to toss it to the curb. World of Motion is probably second for me. While I like TT and MS, they can't adequately replace the legends.

Although it was at the 1964 World's Fair, I would have liked to ride the Magic Skyway.

I've never seen Horizons. Is there a good website for information on it, seeing as everyone seems to like it.

Start with Youtube, there's one ridethrough that perfectly synchs up audio with the attraction. Then check out The Mesa Verde Times and http://shanedlm.hostrator.com/horizons/

For just one day, not to bring back permanently? Hmm. I have good memories of my final rides on Toad and on Horizons. I don't think I'd want them back just for a day. Seems like that'd cheapen things somehow.

For one day, I'd pick 20,000 Leagues. I didn't get as much finality with that one as with the others. It'd be nice to have a proper goodbye.

I would go with any of these three. Toad; 20,000 Leagues; WDW Skyway.

That's tough. There aren't many attractions I don't miss.

Rio Del Tiempo (too recent to miss too badly though) and Delta Dreamflight would be my two "dark horses." Everytime I ride Buzz Lightyear that first scene with the disco ball brings me right back to my childhood and riding Dreamflight countless times over and over and seeing all the popup book style cutouts- and I loved the music! "We're gonna take you flyin', on the airways we're relyin' for non-stop fan-ta-sy" (or something like that :wink: )

Original Toad (obviously), Figment, Horizons, and WoM all are rides I really wish I could go one again really badly. I guess I can for Toad in DLR so maybe that's why I actually miss the EPCOT Future world triumpherant more.

20k, Alien Encounter, Body Wars, Cranium Command, and KK/Food Rocks are in another tier, rides I enjoyed but didn't really love until they were gone.

As stated I think it'd be unfair for me to pick just one.

Tie between Horizons and everything in WoL.

Definitely Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Even though a similar ride still exists in Disneyland, the one at Disney World provided a much more subversive and stylistically cohesive experience. Moreover, few attractions have tapped into the subconscious mind as well as this one. I miss this one a lot.
