What is your favorite retired ride?

Mine would have to be Delta's Dreamflight. It was a short lived attraction at WDW yet always a good one.

I absolutely adored Dreamflight. I was probably like 9 and too afraid to go on Space Mountain so my whole family would go and wait in the line and I would literally re-ride Dreamflight like 20x in a row to wait for them. We're gonna take you flyin' on the air ways we're relying, non-stop fantasy! I used to always look so hard to catch some miniscule detail I'd never noticed before when passing Paris and Tokyo. It was one of those simple rides that there was never a line for but had a catchy tune and I found interesting and relaxing even as a kid and loved. That and the original Rio Del Tiempo. I'd re-ride the heck out of that one too. I think it's funny how much of Dreamflight they've either re-used or re-tooled for Buzz though. The whole ride layout and the rooms are all the exact same I think. They even still have the jet engine smoky/strobe effect in Buzz (which I always found slightly disturbing as a kid w/ Dreamflight- it looked like you were driving straight into a spinning jet engine...).jacobcary1 wrote:Mine would have to be Delta's Dreamflight.

SInce this thread is dedicated to WDW, I would have to completely agree with Mr.Toad on this one. 1992 was the first time I ever experienced EPCOT and it's never been the same since.Mr.ToadWildRider wrote:And I really miss virtually all of Future World as it existed in like 1992 with the old JII, World of Motion (which was my fave as a kid only slightly ahead of JII), Horizons, Wonders of Life, and old school Land Pavilion with the balloons/fountain, Kitchen Kabaret/Food Rocks, and the Living With the Land/Listen to the Land boat with live narration and older music,
My Mom would ride Dreamflight when I was on Space Mountain too! And then when Buzz moved in...look out! She loves BuzzMr.ToadWildRider wrote:I absolutely adored Dreamflight.

I loved the preshow more than I did the main ride/show itself. Tim Curry as the voice of S.I.R. was fantastic. Still one of my favorite lines (and I have used it many times at work, "No, you may not get out. You're our...lucky volunteer!"MadEye wrote:ExtraTerrorestrial Alien Encounter.

The entire cast was great in the attraction! If it wasn't for them, I don't think AE would have been as good as it was.theBIGyowski wrote:and Tyra Banks too!mindflipper wrote:I loved the preshow more than I did the main ride/show itself.
