Have you ever wondered why your favorite classic Disney movie didn't get a ride at DL? I mean Gadget's Go Coaster got a ride and how many people even know who Gadget is? I know there isn't room for a ride for every movie, but when Honey I Shrunk the Kids gets a movie, or A Bug's Life gets a whole land I wonder why others can't get some love...
I always thought there should be a Robin Hood dark ride or a Bedknobs and Broomsticks ride focused on the island of Naboombo (sp?), or even a Jungle Book dark ride. And how does Mary Poppins not get anything more than a character greeting? (Don't get me wrong I love that Mary, Bert, Baloo, etc... have characters at DL, but why doesn't Robin Hood, Lady and the Tramp, Bambi etc... even get this courtesy?
Basically my question is if you could add a classic movie ride which movie would it be and what would the ride be?
My choice would be Bedknobs and Broomsticks where you ride Brass Bed cars to the island of Naboombo with the songs "Substitutiary Locomotion", and one of my all time favorite, "The Age of Not Believing" (probably too slow for a dark ride, but I love the thought that the song was written as a tribute to the recently deceased Walt Disney and symbolized the fact that Disney would have to move on without its beloved founder). Perhaps it could start with finding the book and magic words on Portobello Road and then magically transport you to the island of Naboombo where you try and reclaim the Star of Astoroth before returning to route the German invaders with the Substitutiary Locomotion spell and a whole lot of armor.
Thought it might be interesting to hear the creative side of people on what rides should be there (perhaps replacing HISTA, Mulholland Madness, Innoventions, etc..., but that's a whole other topic...).
