What simulator next to Montu?
I think it was a rough ride, but it has memories for me, and I like to visit the old faithfuls :)
However, whatever comes will have to be based around the same machinery etc, I suppose, with an update? |

I thought The Mummy was superb myself, an absolutely cracking ride.
BTTF was good, but it is dissapointing when you sit in the front as you can see all of the other cars which reminds you it is far from real.
The only shame with The Mummy was that it replaced King Kong just before the new King Kong film was released which could have been capitalised on.
I agree about Earthquake as well, very dated but interesting for film buffs all the same.

| Well we tried to ride on BTTF in Feb, waited in the queue for 15 mins actually got to the reception room just before entering the car, then the door to return to the queue opened and we were told not to get into the car if the door opened. As we have not been on the ride before we thought it was part of the build up, but no the next instruction we got was that the ride had to be evacuated!!
Not to worry we thought we would try again on our next trip, but having read this thread it looks like its not to be, although also after reading the thread i may have had a lucky escape, as i'm not the bravest when it comes to rides. |

| I'm not surprised that rides like this one are starting to go. It's old, tired and throws you about more than being in a tumble drier. We have only been on it once and we came off black and blue. When you put this ride next to The Mummy, Hulk, Shrek 4D, Spiderman and even Twister it can't compete.
It will obviously have it's die hard fans who will get all nostalgic and teary eyed when it's time comes, but I'm sure whatever replaces it will be worth the wait.

| Went on it last Thursday, the day before it closed, still a great ride, went on it the year it opened, now the year it closed as well. Must be getting old. Had a 40 minute wait, not too bad considering.
What a shame they closed it, the other one I really liked was the King Kong ride, now also gone.
At Disney there used to be a ride (more an Audioanimatronic show really) called the Carousel of Progress, came from the New York World Fair of 1961 and was the last ride there that was actually done by Walt himself they tell me. It went through several changes, during its long life, does anyone remember it? It never stopped, even when loading/unloading passengers. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Carousel of Progress was still there last time we went to Disney...we don't go much its not one of my fav parks...my daughter loves the ride...
Maybe they are making room for more rollercosters....you'd think seeing as the places are theme parks they would have more imagination and make rides the whole family can injoy...

I think Monsters Inc Comedy Club is going opposite Stitch's Great Escape.
As you go into Tomorrowland from main street it will be on your right,

| Has anyone heard anything new about the Simpsons ride??
We are in Florida from 8th May for 3 weeks, and I know of one young man who is praying that the ride will be open while we are there.
