It can be at any of the parks which are you choosing? For me I thought about Mr. Toad but since I can see that at Disneyland(which I do have to get to) I would pick World of Motion. Don't get me wrong I love Test Track. But I loved the story, narration and music. And the AA's were so funny and whimsical.

What are your picks.

America Sings is a good one...

There are several, and the best I can do is narrow it down to 4:

The Peoplemover (DL)
Adventures thru Inner Space (DL, did they have it in WDW?)
The Original Journey into Imagination
Horizons

I would have to go with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! I just thought that was a great attraction in MK.

I loved to do Horizons, the vehicle seats that were horizontal, the wonderful smell of oranges, and a choice in how the attraction would end, inter-active before they were doing inter-active. But if I could put anything back in place it would be TOAD. The music, the mischief, I really miss Toad.

The Pooh attraction is sweet and certainly more current for today's little ones. Who reads Wind in the Willows to their children any more? But I loved it, and I miss it.
Does it seem that much of Fantasyland is being geared to the young rather than the young at heart?

It's sad to see these kids not get to experience the classics...I'm all about keeping the classics alive (books and otherwise)

At the very least they should watch the Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter... Just to get a chance to say goodbye. I didn't get to when it left.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Mr. Toad. It is really saddening that the only two reminders of him in WDW are the quick hidden picture of him handing over the deed to the attraction to Owl and the back left corner of the pet cemetery.

Either Horizons or Mr. Toad. I loved both of those attractions. Then again, there is always the classic Kitchen Kabaret in The Land (however, I wouldn't want to give up Soarin.) I would just like them to bring it back!

I would have to go with Horizons, I didn't go to the parks too many times while it was there, but it is one of those rides that has always stayed with me. Plus, for me, it seems like the next logical progression from the Carousel of Progress, one of my all time favorites!

Horizons, hands down. It was my favorite ride and I would make my parents go to EPCOT just to ride it (this was back when you could park hop on a basic ticket and ultraviolet hand stamps).

That's all I've got to say about that.
