Is it sad that I taught my daughter the music of Kitchen Kaberet by watching Youtube videos? She's 14 now and will still occasionally pop off with "veggie - fruit!"
What about the World of Motion, which was replaced by Test Track
Surely the Castle Mystery Tour in Tokyo DL would count if only because only in the 80s would Disney conceive an attraction where the ultimate villain was The Black Cauldron's Horned King (man I hope they kept that AA figure somewhere...)
I miss Kitchen Cabaret and Cranium Command
Call me old school but I much prefer the original O Canada film compared to the update released a few years ago. Love Martin Short, but it just lost that spark even though they kept some of the original clips. Never should have redone the theme song, either.
What about The Kitchen Krackpots in the Land? They killed it and now we have Soarin'.
I am unhappy that the EPCOT attraction featuring Body Wars, The Making of Me, Cranium Command, etc. is now closed. I have been told that it is open "seasonally" but we are there during every season (as Annual Passholders) and haven't seen it open at any of these times. While technology certainly is high on our collective RADARS, some of yhe old rides and attractions and much more welcomed.
@ Donald St. Georges: Wonders of Life pavilion. The entire thing is gutted inside and the building is only used for conventions and special events. The Body Wars vehicles were shipped to Hong Kong Disneyland for their star tours, and afaik, Buzzy et al are still backstage, but obviously broken down and not in use...
I think many of us could write volumes (and have) about missing the original Journey Into Imagination. The present attraction, fun as it is, pales in comparison to the original which would still "fit in" today.
But Horizons could have lived on with some updates. The abandoned Wonders of Life pavilion is proof that new ideas aren't necessarily better ones. Horizons gave all of us an opportunity to dream about what could be. As long as there are new dreams, there's no lack of material with which that attraction could live for generations.
Dream Flight's disappearance is a shame although it would be considered "boring" by today's guests. But the artistry and detail and the nod to when air travel had class makes that ride worthy of being housed in the Smithsonian today. Especially as we see the decline of hospitality in the skies.
