With the current rumors and some actual announcements of some major attractions being radically changed, like the Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy, the Great Movie Ride into a Mickey Mouse attraction, and the latest rumor though not as big of Wreck It Ralph replacing Stitch, it has me wondering if there are any attraction that are truly untouchable. And when I say untouchable I do not mean that they cannot be updated with new technology, scenes, effects, but that they would not lose their overall look and primary theme.
In the Magic Kingdom there are probably the most untouchable with attractions like its a small world, the Haunted Mansion, the Hall of Presidents, and the Mountain attractions not likely to ever change. A lot of other attractions could change at any point. Even something like Tom Sawyer's Island could change and we only have to look at Disneyland for that.
Epcot has really only two attractions that are fairly safe and those are Space Ship Earth and the American Adventure. All of the country pavilions are not likely to be changed but the attraction within certainly could.
Disney Hollywood Studios has nothing that is untouchable as even classics like the Tower of Terror and the reason for the entire park to exist the Great Movie Ride being under rumors of change.
Disney's Animal Kingdom both Kilamanjaro Safaris and Expedition Everest seem to be the most secure in their continued existence.
Universal Studios has maybe two attractions that may be on an untouchable list for now, those being E.T. and Men in Black. Both have not changed since they opened at the park, but Universal Studios Hollywood proved that at least one of those may not be safe.
At Sea World I would have thought that the Shamu Stadium would be untouchable but fallout from the film Blackfish as well as the discontinuation of the Orca breeding program means that it may not be long for this world.
So what attractions would you consider untouchable or which would you be the most upset if they were changed dramatically from their original theme or intent?
