The Greatest Attraction that never happend...The Western River Expedtion...it was supposed to be at WDW instead of POTC and created by Marc Davis and art by Mary Blair as well. The attraction was to be just like POTC but since WDW was on the east coast they figured to make a western themed attraction instead of an eastern one...here is a ride thru with the real models created by Marc Davis that was shown at the D23 Vintage Tony Baxter pannel on Sunday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-svXcgAmwY

Wow, that looks interesting, but I'm glad they stuck to pirates. One thing I love about disney is they really make the best decisions - TinkerBrat
