    I getcha. On the other hand, I wonder sometimes why they don't fix the things that are broke; i.e. Expedition Everest.

    I'm one of those people who never saw any of those things ... We love the "Figment Ride", and I think we would have enjoyed seeing the original.

    Yeah, I never had a chance to experience Horizons, but I've heard so many good stories about it.

    This is very true. There's more broke that's not fixed than not broke and "fixed", IMHO. As mentioned, Expedition Everest. There's probably at least 6 things broke on that ride alone. Dinosaur is another one that's been broken for years I believe...

    I wish they'd bring back Horizons! It's obvious how many people loved that ride & miss it, wish they'd listen to us & bring it back! I also loved the World of Motion ride, Mr Toad's Wild ride & Snow White's Scary Adventure but for sure most of all HORIZONS❤

    Great quote. I totally agree. Want to add Maelstrom and Dreamflight.

    I feel this way about Living w/ the Land, and hope it stays forever, as well as COP.

    I love Jeremy Irons' narration. It was much more grand. It hink they should have at least replaced him with someone else with grand voice, like David Attenborough or his brother Sir Richard Attenborough.

    TIGGERBUDDY - The only problem with the at least two of the attractions you mention, and I think all three (SE is the one I am not positive off), is that the changes were prompted by the companies that sponsored the attraction. It is one of the pitfalls of getting a corporate sponsor to pay for the attraction.


    DIZNEYROX - You are correct about EE and Dinosaur, however, as long as the main ride system works fine, and there are still long lines in the queue, I do not see Disney closing those attractions to fix them. At least not until Pandora land (Or whatever they are calling it ) opens.

    I didn't realize Japan was at one time supposed to get an attraction. That would have been wonderful!

    That is exactly what I have heard. Kodak, who was a major sponsor at the time was not happy about an attraction that shared a name with their main competitor.

    I second Walter Cronkite on SSE. For those of us of a certain age, his voice was the wisdom of the ages, lol!
