Canceled/Failed Disney Projects?

[pumpkinbot343]

I’m talking stuff like the failed (in terms of expansion) DisneyQuest, or stuff like Disney’s America theme park and proposed pavilions of Epcot that never made it past planning. Those are the ones I know of. I’m interested in all the stuff Michael Eisner planned as part of his “Disney expansion” before the opening of “Euro Disneyland”/Disneyland Paris shut all them down.

The indoor St. Louis park was always one of the more wild ones. The OG Fantasyland concept for Magic Kingdom which was to have all new dark rides. New Orleanse square expansion to Village Marketplace. Asia and Persian hotels.

The Presidents Square area or whatever the exact name for that scrapped land was always pops in my head whenever I walk through Magic Kingdom's Main Street. Once you know about it, it's hard to not picture that branch street off to the right being so clearly prepped for expansion that will never arrive haha.

For those wondering, I believe the films that advanced in development were Sleeping Beauty, Sleepy Hollow, and Mary Poppins.

Also the Snow Queen

The Enchanted Snow Palace? I thought that was designed in the late 70s by Marc Davis, while Claude Coats was doing the original Fantasyland for MK which would’ve included 3 dark rides and a show to mirror the opening day offerings at DL. I could have my wires crossed, tho. But I remember hearing they wanted mirrored versions for the “east coast Disneyland.” Sleepy Hollow (Mr Toad), Mary Poppins (Peter Pan), Sleeping Beauty (Snow White).

For me what comes to mind is WestCot, the over engineered Mary Poppins flat ride for Epcot, the OG Muppets Courtyard that fell through after Henson passed away, the original Quinjet Avengers E ticket for DCA that was canned due to capacity logistical reasons, and finally the Play Pavillon.

But TBH, the list can go on of Disney projects that never saw the light of day for a vairety of reasons.

Disney Wharf at Sydney Harbor can be added to that list. It seemed almost perfect for the market but the project was shelved nonetheless…

Is this where the Main Street Theater would've been? Wish we still got that...
