After watching the CA Adventure TV special, I thought of a question I'd like to ask you MouseWaiters out there... As incredible as Disney Imagineering is, they have had their share of flops over the years. What is your top attraction/restaurant/show in the parks from the past or present that made you want to exclaim, "What were they thinking?!?"

I think changing Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse to Tarzan was a bad idea. I also prefer the rockets on top of the Peoplemover platform. The empty Peoplemover track is a constant reminder of what should be there. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 8:24AM
This is so true, Though the rockets provide a nice touch of tomorrow at the entrance of tomorrow land where it is now, they were more exciting when they were higher up. If only the imagineers would do something with that "setup" that's up there now. A light show or something. - imtheghostinthehatbox  13.6 #5899 9:01AM
Yeah, I've been going to Disneyland for 52 years now, and that empty track to me is the greatest missed opportunity I can recall. Seeing vast tonnage of empty concrete and steel year after year is, kind of a "fail" in my opinion. The creativity of the imagineers over the almost 58 years of Disneyland's existence is second to none, and I believe the reason it is still empty falls on the hands of the people "upstairs". It's time for them to come "downstairs" and just commit to fixing it by putting the people mover back and expanding it to make it a true People Mover! - CVDisneyland  256.9 #934 9:33AM
I agree! I miss the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse :( - TicTocCroc  233.3 #1194 9:38AM
I read that the people mover had tons of accidents involving stupid teens jumping in and out of it and getting body parts stuck. - Princess Daisy  156.6 #2198 9:45AM
I miss Country Bears Jamboree, America Sings and People Mover. - MrsSchnooks  573.9 #191 1:24PM
First thing that comes to mind is the space that innoventions is taking up, bring back the people mover! - ribidib  404.0 #323 12:40PM
Bring back Country Bear Jamboree! - CMsMom  445.2 #276 12:48PM
Rocket Rods were bad and good. They looked kinda cool but Disney should have figured out a way to make them run properly. And when they didn't, they should have brought the Peoplemover back. Just my opinion. 🚀 - minigirl1156  411.7 #315 1:06PM
That park replacement where the Maliboomer used to be. Eh... - LifeyLand  42.2 #3928 9:40AM
Hollywood land in general. There is literally nothing there - vincentchase  642.0 #169 12:38PM
So... Tower of Terror just doesn't account for anything? lol - JRDrummer_CM  789.6 #119 12:54PM
the band at Mad T. Restaurant would be Pizza port, they should have themed after Pizza Planet in Toy Story. - vincentchase  642.0 #169 12:55PM
I know its considered Hollywood land but its placement could have been better IMO. - vincentchase  642.0 #169 12:57PM
HTH, from a storytelling standpoint, isn't supposed to be in the limelight of the Los Angeles skyline anymore. It is in a forgotten part of town (the "dark side" of Hollywood), off the beaten path. I still think the location makes sense. - JRDrummer_CM  789.6 #119 1:30PM
Agree and disagree. There is alot of wasted space there, but the tower is well placed, so I agree there with JR, but that area needs something. - imtheghostinthehatbox  13.6 #5899 9:05AM
Toon Town. - BambooMike  121.8 #2698 12:50PM
Seriously. It needs to go now. - handstamp  164.6 #2089 8:10AM
nooooo! I love toon town! - GarnerPhotography  321.4 #516 8:14AM
Yes toon town should go now. Alot of nothing and wasted space. - imtheghostinthehatbox  13.6 #5899 9:03AM
Super Star Limo...it was bizarre!! - Linzee  516.8 #226 12:55PM
I would also like to add the OSHA fix on Alice should have been made better years ago, it's just ugly and sad. - Linzee  516.8 #226 1:00PM
What is the fix? - meridafan  1036.1 #83 8:46AM
The ugly plywood and railings in the upper outdoor portion - Linzee  516.8 #226 9:11AM
The fact that you can walk quite a ways in DCA and not pass a single ride. - CantWait  1033.2 #84 1:34PM
Superstar Limo. o..m..g.. - tuesday737  1076.5 #78 8:35AM
how dare you!!! that was my favourite ride!!! - nicoleface  1248.2 #65 9:40AM
Adding Jack Sparrow to Pirates. :( - happiestplace  44.0 #3884 9:34AM
It would have been fine if he was just in up to three scenes. But I think they went overboard. - MousekaNinja  335.6 #448 9:41AM
IMO Finding Nemo.... I just dont get it. Such a miserable process to climb down into that tiny claustrophobic submarine, just to watch a tv screen... Not for me. - lohofosho  283.2 #710 9:39AM
Agreed!! - TicTocCroc  233.3 #1194 9:46AM
I would love to see the return o the peoplemover! It is too bad they took it out. It would have been neat to have my kids be able to grow up with it. It was such a classic. Also, the front of Alice lost its charm when they had to cover up so much. Hopefully they can come up with some sort of resolution soon! It is Disney, so I am sure they will invent a way to make it work. - 7mouskedoodles  161.1 #2137 9:57AM
Why did they have to cover up so much of Alice ? - greenalien39  319.8 #522 10:25AM
