Scary Adventures was really in bad shape last I rode it. Maybe it just needed a refurb, but the ride hadn't aged very well at all. I honestly think this family coaster will be a great addition of the park. It will bring a little excitement to FL.

I do think a Frozen ride or show is definitely coming..I think it;s time to tear out the speedway.

I would be all for tearing out the speedway. Line is always way too long because of the limited capacity and it stinks up that entire area. Makes for being in that area sometimes not nice. Also, it is the type of ride many local theme parks have, so it is not really future or fantasy worthy.

I'm not really asking for a extreme new ride just something less bland. You have to admit that scary adventures was way more polished than pooh and especially Peter pans flight. It just had more scenery and more to it. It had that wow feeling and that finale with the witch and dwarfs was just badass. I know Disney has too many dark rides but honestly dark rides are cool and fantasyland could've easily used a wonderland or pinnochios daring journey to make the area more lively and atleast comparable to the beast that is the fantasy land in Cali. A rollercoaster just isn't what fantasyland needed. Also the speedway has gotta go, that whole area with cosmic rays is just pretty tacky and bleh. I don't know if frozen should replace it though, I'd be more down with putting frozen in the studios along with the other billion properties that could be used. That park desperately needs some time in rehab. MK is looking pretty dang good as far as not needing future additions..as much as we would like them COUGH great escape COUGH

I prefer Pooh or Peter Pan any day over Scary Adventure. And honestly the wait times showed it too. The wait times were much lower for scary adventure than they were for any other dark ride in Fantasy land.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was better than Scary Adventure IMO.

I think we can all agree with this lol, i'm not saying this to be a troll but have you been on pan lately? Good lord it's aged. I'm sorry but when people point to dudley and ET for being dated, I feel like peter is the biggest example of something that needs to be refurbed ASAP. Same with pooh but not nearly as bad. I don't think scary adventures was taken down for lost interest otherwise the mine train wouldn't have even been conceived. It just had a bad rep for being scary for kids, not a ride i'd take a toddler on. That was the main problem and for that I can see why, just wish it was replaced with another ride instead of another meet and greet

They just refurbed Pan last year. I honestly don't remember scary adventures at all, I only went on it a few times and was terrified of it and forgot about it until I heard it was removed.

that's insane, it could really go for new AA's, audio and a interactive queue because it looks ancient

They are adding an interactive queue in Pan, but I agree, it is a little dated and the AA do need changed. But then people might scream about that too lol

But even in the current condition Pan is better than Scary Adventure :)

yeah no doubt in my mind people would flip if they announced little mermaid like AA's to pan. "It should be preserved and classic" bull. I really didn't think Snow White was that bad looking or was becoming dated. That forest scene and the caves looked pretty amazing for cardboard. Only gripe really was the limited movement on figures witch still isn't that bad compared to pooh. It had atleast a couple decades left

I rode Pan just recently and it was fine. It's a classic attraction, and depsite it's age still holds up pretty well and is entertaining. it has one of the longest lines in the park for a reason.

Pooh Is just ok, Toad's Wild Ride was one of my favorite rides as a kid, so I will always hold a bit of a grudge.

Speedway is loud, smelly, and boring. But the people seem to love it. I'll admit I had fun on it last time I went on it, but that's because I let me 3 year old try and drive, which was hillarious to watch. It takes up such a huge area of the park, that it's just a shame that it's wasted on go carts with training wheels.

I like how some of you are so harsh on this ride before you even ride it. It was never going to be Thunder Mountain or Splash Mountain, but for a "family" coaster it looks to be pretty far above the competition. I'm sure it will be themed incredibly well inside and out.

I was complaining about ET the other day...and then I rode Peter Pan..needless to say eck!

Mine Train will do what it intended to do...add capacity. It is not going to be a ground breaker the likes of FJ and Transformers, but then again if you thought it was going to be then you had the wrong idea of what the whole vision for the project was..capacity

Speedway is only fun if your under 13. If you drove all the way to orlando why the hell would you go on a ride where you drive? It's a ride where it's only really fun for minors. That smell will kill you though, feel bad for the cast members there. It's not that we don't want to like it, it's just with the details announced, ride time and how long it took to make the damn thing it's just hard to like. Of corse it'll be well themed but it's a minute long and it has one show scene. As a Disney mountain goes it's pretty pitiful

Yeah I let my daughter drive when she was two. I got off and said there is a reason you can't drive at two and man did I get a headache from banging back and forth on the railing. But I do have to say it was hilarious!!! I have not done it again though, it was a one time laugh, never do again thing.

So the full ride consists of getting in a cart filled with gems then as you go up the lift hill you jump out and fly around the Cart in the mountainside in around 16 seconds? I take back what I said about this ride, it's badass #sarcasm
