EPCOT

Splitting the remaining 29 attractions among Disney World's other three parks isn't that tough since each has far, far fewer rides than Magic Kingdom. But at least for EPCOT, it's not just the park's current ride lineup that offers attractions to be memorialized... For a park ostensibly built to celebrate the future, EPCOT has a past that can't be ignored. Perhaps more than any other park, EPCOT's golden statues would probably lean toward the nostalgic... which is perhaps why Disney purposefully avoided building a history-focused 50th. (Admitting that you've closed a lot of beloved rides isn't exactly a great PR move.) 

So for our selections, we've chosen 14 EPCOT attractions of the past, present, and future who – together – tell the story of Walt Disney World's second gate from its ambitious, intellectual, industrious start to its much more modern march toward the future. Try to name each ride we were immortalizing... We'll list them below to help you out, and again link to any in-depth attraction histories we've published here.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney's Hollywood Studios is wrapping up its own multi-year transformation with three brand new anchor experiences: Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Toy Story Land, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The days of being a "real, working studio" are long, long gone. But even the reimagined Hollywood Studios has a history of landmark attractions that tell its story – and by extension, the story of Walt Disney World.

With just 15 statues left before we reach 50, we dedicated a full 10 to Studios stars. While they're far from all the attractions this park has hosted, they are ten very pivotal ones.

36. The Great Movie Ride
37. Muppet*Vision 3D
38. Toy Story Mania
39. Voyage of the Little Mermaid
40. STAR TOURS

41. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
42. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
43. The Backstage Studio Tour
44. Fantasmic!
45. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Disney's Animal Kingdom is both infamously short on rides, and the least old of all of Walt Disney World's parks (though it's 23 – nearly half as old as the resort itself). That's why only the last five of our 50 golden statues are dedicated to the park's lineup. 

Still, condensing Animal Kingdom's contributions to Walt Disney World to just five attractions isn't easy. Millions and millions of memories have been made across the park's offerings, not the least of which being these five landmarks... 

46. Kilimanjaro Safaris
47. Pandora: The World of AVATAR
48. DINOSAUR
49. Expedition Everest
50. Festival of the Lion King

Your 50

What do you think? Would 50 golden monuments to Disney World's landmark attractions have been a better fit for the resort's anniversary than 50 characters? More to the point, did we pick the right attractions to memorialize? Which quintessentially Disney rides (of the past, present, and future) do YOU think would make the best celebratory icons of five decades of memories? Let us know in the comments below!
