Disneyland:

Skyway; Now the only skyway in ANY Disney park right now is in Blizzard Beach.

PeopleMover; Don't forget about the short lived Rocket Rods!

Submarine Voyage/20,000 Leagues Under The Sea; At least the DLR one isn't currently a Winnie the Pooh Playground, I wish they'll make the Pooh thing into an Ariel dark ride or something or just any Ariel ride, you know, what that spot was SUPPOSED to have and keep, It's right next to Ariel's Grotto.

Nature's Wonderland; I've actually never heard of that ride.

Fort Wilderness at Tom Sawyer's Island; I'm guessing that's where Fantasmic is.

Bear Country Jambouree; Now, it's a lovely Winnie the Pooh ride! Too bad WDW had to take down Mr. Toad to make theirs.

America Sings; Which was in Tomorrowland before the Ride Plastic Surgery to that land. Innoventions, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Space Mountain 2.0, Star Tours, Astro Orbiter being relocated, No Peoplemover, & The Nemo Subs. That's basicly every ride in that land that they added.

Disney California Adventure:

Superstar Limo (If you missed it, don't be too disappointed!) I agree! no joke.

-The attraction was not very popular, and did not get good reviews?

-The attraction was constantly not working properly?

That is why I think they closed some attractions at Disneyland. I really wish that they could keep those attractions open, they seemed so interesting. Does anybody have any different opinions on why they closed?

I do know that the Rocket Rods closed because they didn't work well. But I just wish they would add it with a Peoplemover again. What reason was there for them to take it down? It's not like the other rides where something is in it's place. There's nothing in the Peoplemovers location now.
