Rather than hijack the modeling thunder messa thread this seemed more appropriate.

America on Parade, Electric Light Parade, America Sings, Phantom Boats, Mission to Mars, Fantasyland Autopia, Sumarine Voyage, People Mover with Tron, Journey Through Inner Space, Mine Trains, Skyway from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland, the Monorail Cafe, the original Disneyland Hotel pool, the waterfalls at the hotel (yes they are gone now), the dacing water show, the original golden horseshoe show, Swiss Family Tree House, America the Beautiful in Panoramic, Capt Hooks Pirate ship and Skull Rock, the prime rib dinner at Blue Bayou, Fantasia Ice Cream, and the 21 scoop Matterhorn ice cream bowl.

At 26 I can only remember 8 things on your list but would have liked to experiance the rest. Well 7 know that I think of it because the phantom boats where Care Bears when I was a kid. I would add the old Pirates, Fort well all Tom Swayers Island, Mine train along the river and waterfall, Keel Boats, and canoes not sure if they are still using them. Retro that I would like to have seen is the Indian Village

I miss America the Beautiful in Circlevision 360. THAT was a trip! Also Monsanto's Journey through Inner Space, because of Paul Frees's hypnotic voice. And the Carousel of Progress. I'm sorry to hear that the Swiss Family Treehouse has been Tarzanated.

Disneyland - yes

Magic Kingdom - no

I miss just about everything mentioned so far, but the Skyway and PeopleMover in particular.

Here is one. I already miss the Golden Gate Bridge and letters "CALIFORNIA" from the front of DCA. It now looks like Disney's Hollywood Adventure at WDW entrance.

I also miss the NASA exhibit which was where the Gonk Droids are now for Star Tours Fast Pass.

All of the above!!!

What happened to Carousel of Progress??? I know it's been gone for a while....did they just toss it in the trash??? I remember the first time I saw it how AMAZING it truly was.... and while it may not hold today's audiences it still would hold my attention. After the 'show' the ride up the escalator to the HUGE model to top it off. Man...I'm feeling old..... :cry:
