The Peoplemover will always be the one attraction that I miss the most. I remember when I was 8 years old, the Peoplemover would be our first ride in the park so we could plan out what we would go on for the entire day. Why we needed to do this is beyond me, but it will always be a source of nostalgia for me.

Every once in awhile I will miss America Sings, but then I think if it was still here we wouldn't have Splash Mountain and that is one of my favorite current rides so it's hard to complain about America Sings being gone lol
Sometimes the bluest part of the sky seems so far away from us, I guess thats what keeps us striving for it...

I LOVED the Motorboat Cruise when I was a kid.

I also miss:
America Sings
Adventure Through Inner Space
Mission To Mars
People Mover
Country Bear Jamboree
Skyway

I also miss the Space Place Restuarant. It used to be the restuarant with the shortest lines!

I lked the Mine Train and the Mules. This has since been replaced by Big Thunder Mountain and the Petting Zoo. Old remnants can be found along the Rivers of America.

The Mike Fink Keel Boats ("Hi-dee Ho, all you pioneers, buckaneers, souvenirs, lovely ladies, and all you other ladies, welcome aboard the <i>Bertha Mae</i>, or <i>may not</i>") were definitely a favorite - I like anything with a spiel. I also agree on the Skyway.

One attraction I <i>wish</i> I'd seen was Capt. Hook's pirate ship when it was still in Fantasyland. Alas, it was removed before I was born. My aunt has fond memories of the "Chicken of the Sea" tuna sandwiches they used to serve aboard the ship ("with Wonderbread!").

I definitely miss the Keel Boats too. I tried googling to find the script but gave up.

The people mover is a default answer. Every time I walk by the Village Haus in Fantasyland and see that little chalet for the Skyway I feel very sad.

I went past that this past December and they actually had lites inside of it. Made it look a little better than just a decrepit building. I want it back so much. I mostly want it back because it would be a great vantage point more pictures.

I was there on Saturday with the family and I always peek behind the trees to see it. It's always sad to see it still there especially behind trees. It makes it seem like they're trying to get us to forget it ever existed.

When I was a kid we would head straight to Space Mountain when the park opened, then took the Skyway from Tomorrowland in order to get to Big Thunder Mountain. It was so much more fun to take the Skyway than it was to walk between the two mountains.
