Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, does it still exist in California?

Post by Vonderbach » Feb Sun 20, 2005 2:55 pm

Since it closed over in Orlando, I had understood that California was going to keep it open. Did they stick to their promise?

Yep - when they retire them for replacement with newer cars they now auction them off and make a killing.

I'd love to have someting like like for my room. great conversation piece.

Of course, I'd be a little reluctant to buy something when a member of ebay such as Disney has a positive feedback percent of 97.6%. you'd think the Disney co. would have a bit higher, with very little negative feedback. What's more is the fact that the comments are private, so we can't even see what people said about whatever product they bought...

I thought they closed Mr Toad to make way for the Winnie the Pooh ride. Did they close something else to make way for Winnie? They closed Country Bear Jamboree in CA to make way for Winnie.

In Florida, yes they put in Winnie the Pooh in Mr. Toads place. And also filled in the sub ride and built a Winnie the Pooh Playground (that stinks IMO).

I love Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Pinocchio and Snow White's Scary Adventure...........which of those are no longer operating at DL? I am just glad that I am not the only 40+ yr old in line with out a child :D

I want to go next year, when I go back "home" for a visit.
