List of Disney attractions that were never built

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of publicly known Disney attractions that were never built; that is, rides, shows, and other Disney park attractions which never reached the final building stage. Some of them were fully designed and not built, often due to budget cuts. Others were concepts, sometimes with preliminary artwork. Some ideas were later reused in other attractions.

Pirate's Land A pirate-themed land.

Attractions

[edit]

Disneyland

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition A huge complex housing the Indiana Jones Adventure, a minecart roller coaster, and part of the Jungle Cruise, with the Disneyland Railroad traveling through the middle. [39]
The Museum of the Weird An attraction-within-an-attraction at the beginning of The Haunted Mansion. Suggested and named by Walt Disney after a sleepless night, it was intended to use various of Imagineer Rolly Crump's ideas, such as a chair that stood up and talked. Cancelled when The Haunted Mansion attraction was changed from a walk-through to a ride-through attraction. Several of the Museum of the Weird's designs were incorporated into the final Haunted Mansion, including the wallpaper in the "corridor of doors" scene. [40]
The Enchanted Snow Palace A dark ride that was planned for Fantasyland at Disneyland, with Marc Davis instrumental in its design. Extensive surviving concept art shows a boat ride on a river of melting ice, past naturalistic scenes of Arctic wildlife, beneath a display of the Northern Lights, and into the realm of the Snow Queen, a fantastical land populated by frost fairies and snow giants. Later became inspiration for the Frozen Ever After ride in the Norway Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot. [41]
Geyser Mountain A Frontierland drop tower, in which guests riding in a huge drilling machine would be caught in a massive geyser and thrown into the air. [42][43]
Fireworks Factory A Discovery Bay shooter ride, in which guests would travel through a fireworks factory, shooting at skyrockets, pinwheels, and other fireworks. A much smaller version was placed in Mickey's Toontown. [44]
Lightkeepers A nighttime pageant planned for "Tomorrowland 2055", featuring a race of aliens from a far-off mythical galaxy who had created light, and intended as a possible Main Street Electrical Parade replacement. Eventually inspired the short-lived Light Magic nighttime parade. [45]
Duck Bumps A Fantasyland bumper boats ride, to be built against International Street alongside the lagoon. [46]
Circus Hot Air Balloons Would have bordered Discovery Bay and Dumbo's Storybook Circus. [25]
Dumbo's Circus A nutty adventure underneath the big top with Dumbo leading the way. [25]
Mickey's Madhouse A funhouse adventure featuring clowns and such. [41]
Lafitte Island A retooling of Tom Sawyer Island based around pirate Jean Lafitte. Guests would enter Lafitte's crypt in a graveyard across from the Haunted Mansion and travel through a catacomb themed tunnel under the river to the island, which would also feature shipwrecks and Lafitte's treasure vault. Became inspiration for the Pirate's Lair rework. [47]
Critter Country 500 A soapbox-derby-themed proposed replacement for the Country Bear Jamboree, rejected in favor of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. [41]
Paparazzi Pursuit A near-clone of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, placing guests in the seats of actors trying to make the premiere of their newest hit film at the Chinese Theatre while dodging paparazzi and freeway traffic. Reworked at the insistence of Michael Eisner after the death of Princess Diana under similar circumstances. The final Superstar Limo, a much slower dark ride featuring celebrity caricatures and entertainment industry inside jokes, was hated by both park guests and Imagineers, ultimately closing less than a year after it opened.
Robin Hood in: Princess in Peril! A proposed retooling of Splash Mountain that involved re-theming the ride and surrounding Critter Country sub-area into the Sherwood Forest, with the story of the new ride centered around an archery contest being held for the hand of Maid Miriam; at the same time, Prince John has opened his castle for tours, and guests are sent in to test his newly designed transit system as a distraction so Little John and the other Merry Critters could stage a rescue. The idea made almost no sense at all from a thematic standpoint, so while a handful of written treatments were given for the project, the idea was scrapped relatively quickly in favor of a theme that could be easily implemented at both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom, which led to the adoption of the Princess and the Frog IP for both projects; some of the technology that was originally in-mind when this concept was proposed will be used in Disneyland Paris' upcoming Lion King flume ride.

Walt Disney World

[edit]

Disney's Animal Kingdom

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Dragon Tower A dragon-themed roller coaster planned for Beastly Kingdom. Laid-off Imagineers took the idea to Universal, where it became Dueling Dragons (Dragon Challenge); however, the original design of the ride featured only one track with no inversions, and was supposedly another collaboration between Disney and Arrow Dynamics, this time using the same ride system Arrow had already used on several other coasters, such as the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, then operating as Busch Gardens Europe. [48]
Quest for the Unicorn A hedge maze planned for Beastly Kingdom. Laid-off Imagineers took the idea to Universal, where it became The Flying Unicorn. [48]
Fantasia Gardens A boat ride designed for Beastly Kingdom featuring the mythical animals in Fantasia. The current Fantasia Gardens is a miniature golf course located near the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts. [48]
The Excavator A wooden runaway mine car roller coaster through an abandoned dinosaur dig, planned for DinoLand USA but replaced by Primeval Whirl due to budget cuts. [49]

Disney's Hollywood Studios

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy A Fantasyland-style dark ride based on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, in which guests would play the role of Baby Herman's stunt double, riding in giant baby carriages through the scenes of the cartoon Tummy Trouble, bouncing over hospital beds and whizzing around the wards of St. Nowhere Hospital. [41][50]
Benny the Cab Ride A dark ride based on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which eventually became Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. [51][50]
Dick Tracy's Crime Stoppers An enhanced motion vehicle ride through the streets of Chicago, based on the 1990 film Dick Tracy. [42]
The Great Muppet Movie Ride A Muppet-style "misguided" tour through movie history, intended as part of Disney's planned Muppet Studios. [41]
Toontown Trolley A madcap flight simulator in which animated screens take guests on a "hare-raising" trolley ride through a zany cartoon world with Roger Rabbit at the helm. [51]
Creatures' Choice Awards A comedic animatronics show taking the form of an Awards Show for classic movie monsters, hosted by Eddie Murphy (as "Eddie Frankenmurphy") and featuring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark as one of the presenters. The main subplot of the show would follow Godzilla, the guest of honor and recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award, on his journey from Japan to Walt Disney World, where he would literally bring down the house in the finale. [52]
Villain Ride A possible replacement for The Great Movie Ride, in which three-dimensional recreations of Disney's most famous fiends would menace the guests until the forces of good finally came to their rescue. [27]

Epcot

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Simulated Bullet Train Ride A unique variation on Disney's CircleVision 360 show. Guests would have found themselves standing aboard a vibrating recreation of the passenger compartment of a Japanese bullet train. Looking out through the oversized faux windows in this passenger car, they would have been treated to a high-speed travelogue as some of Japan's most beautiful scenery whizzed by the windows. The attraction was planned for the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. [27][dead link‍]
Bobsled Ride A roller coaster, similar to Disneyland's Matterhorn, planned to be built inside a mountain behind the failed Switzerland pavilion. It went through two different iterations before being scrapped. [53]
Time Racers A high-tech thrill ride about fast-forwarding through history that was to replace Spaceship Earth. [27]
Rhine River Cruise Ride A cruise down Germany's most famous rivers, including the Rhine, the Tauber, the Ruhr and the Isar. Detailed miniatures of famous landmarks would also be seen, including one of the Cologne Cathedral. The ride entrance and the building that would have housed it are still visible at the Germany pavilion. [27]
Thames River Cruise Ride Designed as part of the UK pavilion, this full-scale water ride would visit key London landmarks. Concept art from 1986 shows the Tower of London, Victoria's Tower, and the Houses of Parliament. [41]

Magic Kingdom

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Western River Expedition A Pirates of the Caribbean-style ride through the Wild West. This was first proposed for Walt Disney's Riverfront Square. The land proposed for the ride is now used by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. [26]
Fire Mountain A ride themed after the 2001 animated movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Set in 1916, two years after the film, the story of the attraction would focus on Preston Whitmore seeking to make Atlantis's existence public and offer expeditions to visitors in newly developed vehicles. However, due to mishaps, the vehicles would be forced to make a detour through the lava-filled caverns of the volcano. This ride would be cancelled as a result of the underperformance of the film and the downturn in tourism after the 9/11 terror attacks. [41]

Hong Kong Disneyland

[edit]
Name Description Reference
Drill Drop The second of Disney’s three different treatments for the Geyser Mountain proposal, this version was planned as a second-phase expansion for the park’s Grizzly Gulch area, with the ride’s backstory telling the tale of a local inventor trying to use the steam trapped underneath the town as a power source. Instead of building two large lands with a full-sized Grizzly Gulch and Adventure Point areas, the second attraction and land expansion were cut from Grizzly Gulch, Adventure Point was reworked into Mystic Point and given one dark ride and a restaurant, and the land meant for the indoor Glacier Bay sub-area was given to Toy Story.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Curse A hybrid of a traditional log flume and a boat-based dark ride in the vein of the original rides at other parks, this take on the Pirates formula featured both indoor and outdoor segments winding their way through and around the fortress of Port Royal as the Black Pearl launches its attack from the first film. The ride was planned to feature at least one large outdoor drop, many indoor drops of varying heights and steepness, and state of the art projection and special effects technology.
