I think I’d pick Mickey and Minnie’s run away railway. I think the trackless system and the projection mapping would blow his mind. It’s IP he’s familiar with, but it’s refreshed and I’d be curious what he thought about the new animation style.

The Caroursel of Progress. I would give him my opinion that we need more scenes to keep it "current". As is there is too much of a jump (of years in time) from scene#3 to scene#4

I would take him on a competitors ride. Demonstrate to him that his legacy will be lost soon if Disney Parks doesn’t get busy.

He'd be really old, so I think Small World would be all he could handle.

 

[Kitty 34]

Tower of Terror.......my favorite.

 

[CGB]

Soarin' - The simple yet breath-takingly beautiful appreciation of our world from a new perspective... well, I think he'd love it. Especially that last firework.

That would be mine as well.

Would he be old, or just the age he was when he passed? He was fairly young when he died, so depending on whether he still had any health issues that he had in 1966, he might be up for something more. I would like to think he would.

My first thought was to take him on ROTR. I think he would appreciate the combination of up to date technology and the acting of the CM’s to fully immerse him in the experience. His attractions were all about the story. Then I would want to pick his brain for new attraction ideas once he understood how far technology has come since 1966.

Lets pretend he's still 65

I think I'd like to grab a burger at Pecos Bill's and sit and just talk to the man for an hour....... That would be the coolest attraction I could think of - for me, at least. Maybe not him!!

 

[dizneegirl]

I'd want to sit with him in Tiki Room or Country Bears or the Carousel of Progress. If it has to be a ride, Haunted Mansion or Pirates.

Na'vi River Journey is pure Walt.

 

[RuntheMouse]

Kilimanjaro Safari

 

[dcassetta]

We would enjoy a Dole Whip float while visiting with the Tiki Birds and then take a Minnie Van (because I think he would get a kick out of that) and go over the AK and ride Kilimanjaro, because he loved nature. The transfer between parks is so we can chat.

Not so sure. Those competitors, and some would say what Disney Parks are today, are exactly what Walt did NOT want.
I think all the Star Wars stuff would be the first things he took out.

 

[bcla]

I'd think maybe take him to the iteration of a Disneyland opening day ride that he actually experienced to see how it changed. He would appreciate improvements. That would leave out attractions that more or less stayed the same (supposedly the Disneyland Railroad was his favorite because of his love of trains).

So - I'd think Autopia.

Here's Walt Disney actually riding it like everyone else.

Not quite sure what he would think of Honda as a sponsor.

I agree with this because it also would go in line with his love of trains. I think he would be blown away that what he started would come all the way to what that ride is from an A/V standpoint. It’s absolutely amazing how far media has come.

My choice is one I believe would be a source of much enjoyment for him --- the Fort Wilderness RR.

[Pea-n-Me]

I think he’d really enjoy the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I’d go with him on that.
He’d like when it slows and you’re in the mine, and the music.
It’s one of my favorites.

I like the idea of something modern yet classic - MMRR or 7DMT are great contenders. They may not be the most technically advanced, but they are the most artful.
