| What Canned Disney Idea Would You Want Ressurected I gave out this link for the passporters to find out what idea do you think Disney should've never abandoned. Disney and more: The Wikipedia list of never built Disney Attractions, Theme Parks, Resorts, and more... I started a poll on my personal favorites and what I thought the website would generally like. Because there's more than 10 and I can only fit 10 I have to narrow them down to what can assume would be most popular just a guess. I do not know anyone's personal favorite abandoned Disney Ideas. If you have any favorites outside of the poll on the list you can share those.

| HMMMMM..this was certainly a tough one. There's so many I would love to see revived and put into action. I would really love to see more themed deluxe and moderate resorts, especially another one on the monorail. In particular, an Asian or Venetian resort would have been great. I also love the Westcot idea and the planned Indian Village in Frontierland idea. It's really too bad so many things were never followed through.

| Mythia : A Greek and Roman myths and legends inspired land planned. Beastly Kingdom : A myths and legends inspired land planned for Animal Kingdom, Florida. The above 2 go hand and hand IMHO Geyser Mountain : A Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror style ride to be built in the Frontierland. Digging through the mountain in a huge drilling machine, guests would have become caught in a massive geyser and thrown into the air. Godzilla Bullet Train Ride : Similar to both the Mt. Fuji and Bullet Train ideas, though having the bullet train run afoul of Godzilla in Tokyo Bay, leading to a race against time to get to safety. Planned for the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. Common it MT FUJI not Fujifilm. GRR this would of been cool Fire Mountain : A roller coaster ride through an active volcano. Planned for the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Would have started like Matterhorn bobsleds but a lava spout accompanied by fissures would have sent the cars flying in the air. Intended for Adventureland or Fantasyland. These get my vote

And give me a break. It was to be named after MT FUJI not Fujifilm!! Fire Mountain : A roller coaster ride through an active volcano. Planned for the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Would have started like Matterhorn bobsleds but a lava spout accompanied by fissures would have sent the cars flying in the air. Intended for Adventureland or Fantasyland. These get my vote

| Very interesting. I voted for the Tim Burton ride, but there were several ideas I liked - and some that weren't on the list that I liked even more. Disneyland East : A park to be built on the former grounds of the 1964 New York World's Fair in Queens, New York. It eventually became the Walt Disney World Resort. To have a taste of Disney so close would be awesome. Beastly Kingdom : A myths and legends inspired land planned for Animal Kingdom, Florida. Was replaced by Camp Minnie-Mickey due to budget cuts. May be built in the distant future. This sounds awesome. Hopefully this will be reconsidered once the economy picks up. Geyser Mountain sounded cool too, but since I don't like dropping rides I didn't pick it.

| I voted for Disney America. I think the Virginia is a great place for this type of park. I dont think that we salute our country enough and this theme park would be a wonderful place for school trips, group tours, etc. I could only imagine how great this would be...

| There were several ideas I would love to see. I acutally voted for Port Disney, I would love to see a America version of Disney Sea (especially after seeing Chez's recent trip to the Tokyo parks). I would love to see some new pavillions in the WS... And while Disney East would be hard due to the weather I would love to see some type of Disney Park close to home. Great way to get your fix when a trip down to WDW is far away.

| Ooops, I posted before I finished: Quest for the Unicorn: A hedgemaze planned for Beastly Kingdom. I LOVE this. Maybe it will come back as an idea!!! Fantasia Gardens: A boat ride designed for Beastly Kingdom featuring the mythical animals in Fantasia. This sounds cool too! The Excavator : A runaway mine car roller coaster through an abandoned dinosaur dig planned for Dinoland USA. I would definitely ride this. Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy : A "Star Tours" style simulator ride based on Baby Herman, a character from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Toontown Trolley : A madcap adventure that would have flight simulators surrounded by animated screens to take guests on a hare-raising trolley ride through a zany cartoon world with Roger Rabbit at the helm. Either one of these would be great. DH and I went to this movie on our first date (no, no calculating how long ago that was) and we would love to see more of Roger Rabbit at WDW. I like the Toontown trolley best. Ariel's Undersea Voyage : A Little Mermaid-themed dark ride. My girls love Ariel. Disney's Mediterranean Resort : A Greek themed resort to be located on the Seven Seas Lagoon in Walt Disney World, Florida. I would love to stay here. So many cool ideas.

| I'm voting for Discovery Mountain. WestCot and Disney's America are close seconds however the Discovery Mountain expansion would've been breathtaking.

| In terms of rides, Toontown Trolley and Godzilla Bullet Train ride would've been breathtaking as well.
