Our discussion about the Swan Boats last week got me reminiscing.
If you could revive one extinct attraction and experience it one more time before it goes back to that Theme Park in the sky again, what would it be?

I've said it before and I'll say it again--Horizons. I loved that attraction and I have NO idea why!

NO CONTEST - Imagination with Figment and the thingy, whatever it was.

I would love to re-experience 20,000 Leagues under the sea, and those submarines.

Does it have to be an attraction?
I would LOVE to be able to see Tapestry of Nations again. In my book, this is THE best parade that I've ever seen at WDW. Only Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade come close to the elements that was in Tapestry. And to this day, I think "Tapestry of Nations" (and not the bastardized "Tapestry of Dreams") is THE BEST Disney music ever, EVER, EVER, EVER!

This may be an odd one, but I'd love to go through the old Eastern Airlines "If You Had Wings" attraction in Tomorrowland again.

What was the name of the name of the ski lift thingy?

I'd like to ride that again too. It was so funny seeing the bland, very 'unmagical' looking rooftops of Fantasyland!

Not odd at all! In fact, it's one of the most vivid memories I have of my earliest trips to WDW as a small kid. I can still hear the song in my head!
Also, that attraction had a certain "retro charm" to it, with the video looking like something you would have seen on 'Wonderful World of Color' in the 60's.
As a side note, I was in Cracker Barrel tonight and suddenly heard "Its A Small World" playing in the store area. They have that little unit up front where they feature primarily off the wall, country artists but right now one of the CD's for sale is a Walt Disney music one.

I would have never thought of the skyway, but that actually sounds pretty fun. Those really did wind up getting closed down at just about every park I know of. Did too many people fall out?
Regarding the Skyway, I know an older Disney employee fell to his death from it shortly before it was shut down and removed.

I'd also have to throw in 'Mr Toads', which I always found charming, and the Mickey Mouse Review, which was sort of replaced by Mickey's Philharmagic.

That's too bad. I always like when they keep a particular attraction alive somewhere.
Have to agree with, If You Had Wings. My neighbor was an eastern airlines pilot, back then in the day. I loved the song, and that big rush of air toward the end of the ride, like you were speeding up, maybe take off . The Biggest, Best, thing that I would like to do one more time is to go through the Penny Arcade for 24 hrs, with all the neccessary change in hand. I miss those games, I truly wonder where they have all gone. Thanks for the memories.

It's interesting, a lot of those kind of games actually wind up in private hands. I actually knew a guy who had a few stand up games like that in his apartment. Hopefully they don't get destroyed, that would be dreadful.

I remember the penny arcade. I would like to ride the submarines one more time. That said though, it would be a great time to bring back Captain Eo.

I'm envious that you got to ride the submarines at all. I assume that was at Disneyland?
I remember 20,000 Leagues from when I was a kid - I remember being claustrophobic and afraid of the octopus (squid?). I wonder how I'd be now...?
Zipadeedoodah -- yeah, man

Probably claustrophobic, but not so in awe of the tentacled creature.
