This was a hard choice!

It was a very close race between Journey into Imagination and Horizons. I said Journey into Imagination because I think it has a chance of coming back. I think the backlash against whatever was after Journey and before the current "version" of Journey made Disney very aware of people's love for the ride.

Horizons is gone... I miss that ride, too. Very close 2nd. Probably 1st if I didn't hold out hope we have a chance to revive JII.

I also thought about saying AE only because I've seen what replaced it and don't like it. Though, it makes sense. MK is about kids and AE would freak out 90% of them (and did from my understanding). Stitch makes more sense for the parks demographic.

I loved Alien Encounter. I thought it was really fun and much better than the Stitch ride that's in there now. But I understand their reasonings for getting rid of it.

It would be cool if they could do an AE overlay for halloween or something...that had to be the scariest ride/attraction/experience/thing ever created anywhere.

I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride but I think that I miss If You Had Wings more. If you had wings had wings had wings. . . :(

I voted for Horizons but I would have to say it is a tie between that and If You Had Wings. My husband LOVES to fly and anything that has to do with airplanes so he really misses that one!

Dream Flight!

Mostly based on nostaligia, but it was my favorite ride for most of my life.

Really, if I had a chance to re-ride all of these tomorrow, it would probably EASILY be Journey into Imagination. It was a very, very close second as my favorite ride when I was little.

I really liked World of Motion. The "traffic jam" scene was my favorite. I always thought the audioanimatronics were good and the ride had a wonderful sense of humor. I like thrill rides, too, but the Test Track doesn't really do anything for me.

You know what was great about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, besides it just being a fun ride, was the cars themselves. Being able to sit in those vehicles that looked like the old cars really made you get into driving like a maniac through the different scenes.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...It still exists in Disneyland and I rode it in June and it just made me so happy! I refuse to ride Winnie the Pooh because Im still bitter at him for replacing Toad Hall!

I really liked AE. Kids were in tears on the way out. Brilliant!!! :D Possibly a clue to why it closed. I miss the skyway most though. A quiet ride with great views.

I really felt saddened to see that list. I was torn between AE, 20KL, Mr. Toad and Imagination. I just went D|L and had a blast at Toad (please bring it back). I really liked 20KL, AE scared the bejeebers out of me (I don't even go to Stitch anymore) and Journey always made me laugh. I eventually whittled it down and I picked Journey into Imagination.
