Vanished World of Disney 12 - El Rio del Tempo

[BadIdeaBearCub]

Mexico didn't sponsored this ride/pavilion. The story goes that when Disney approached the Mexican tourist office they weren't interested in sponsoring the pavilion, but Walt Disney believed important to have Mexico and Canada, being borders of the U.S., so they build this pavilion anyway. The designers built the pyramid based on a postcard which had an error: it was mirrored. So, this pyramid it's a mirrored maquette of the actual pyramid.

i remember i was the only one who like this... and i was the reason we went on it

[gomeat27]

I used to live in Florida, and when I went back a couple of years ago my whole family agreed that they ruined EPCOT.

[TonyWDWCP]

its pretty much like the one now except the one now has the 3 caballeros and it has much more of a colorful disney theme

[SlasherV8]

my dream it is true, there is a mexican based ride in disneyworld

[hadla]

when did it get changed?

[redique]

Man the new ride is so much better than this.

[SouthCarolinaFan]

this building is the coolest :)

[GooglFascists]

That's what "Pirates of the Caribbean" was until the movies came out

with Jack Sparrow. There used to be no line and the AC was icy down

in the grotto where the boats are. You could relax & cool off on those

100 degree Orlando days in summer.

This July 4,(2011) we stood in line 70 minutes to ride and "search" for

Johnny Depp, whom we say appears 3 times but it might be more!

[MangledMaggie]

its kind of like them turning that awesome authentic norwegian resteraunt in the norway section of epcot, into some stupid meet and greet with the disney princesses. I'm going there tomorrow, =/ oh joy.

[ramkidd123]

well its not a ride but a theme night............disney grad night is gone as of this year.

[Dandy5th]

Compliments to "cristelvideo" for these vanished videos they brought back a lot of great memories. Thanks

[JosTheHardyFan]

i remember this ride.....i went on it when i was 5

[PinguPinke]

I loved the 2 people trying to sell you stuff as the boat was passing their area of the ride... The Three Caballeros isn't as good as the old ride... :(

[slave2moonlight]

I love this ride, though it's kind of oddly similar to It's a Small World, only in some ways. But isn't the Three Caballeros version practically the same ride with some tweaks to the video parts? To this day, I can't remember if I've only seen the Three Caballeros version on YouTube or actually experienced it. I last was at Disney in 2004...

[sideslide23]

They still exist because 2 years ago I went on this unless something happened which I didn't know of.

[RealSkyDiver2]

what happened? did Mexico run out of drug money to support this one?

[NemoTVChampion]

Personally I prefer the original ride over the new one with the 3 Caballeros >>

[OptionalKid]

@NemoTVChampion I completely agree

[MelanieMak1]

The 3 Caballeros version is terrible in comparison to this. It's just a series of videos if I recall correctly. I would love to see them improve this ride in general, but they don't seem to invest much into any World Showcase rides; most of them have been the same stuff for my whole lifetime. I'm almost 30.

[lotsabears]

I hated the song, but it was still a pretty cool ride.

[runswithscissors86]

Oh God...this stupid song used to stick in my head. La, la, la, la, la...But it was still fun.

[nightmarefan1994]

Omg I used to freaking love this ride! I go to Disney World basically once a year and the year I saw that this was gone and replaced with that Three Caballeros (although I adore Donald) bullshit I was so upset. This is a great addition (as sad a list as it may be) to your list of forgotten Disney attractions~

[2muchreality4u]

Thank you for letting me see this once again. Have not seen this since forever. Good memories...

[nitemareglitch]

I am so happy I went so often as a child, and did not get to miss out on the intelligent and nerdy Disney World that once was. Thanks for these videos, very very much.

[Justin29150]

I like the new one better, it holds younger audiences/riders attention better

[sunshinecheer26]

heres some other attractions you could do:

-Tarzan Rocks

-Wonders of life Pavillion(Cranium Command, Body Wars...)

-Alien Encounter

---thanks for doing this it brought back so many memories!!

[007SBond]

some of my favorites and all gone : (

[TTG669]

I love this original ride, wish it would have never been removed.

[Smithfilmproductions]

I kind of like the new version but I miss that big Apocalypto guy in the beginning.

[peterdinosaurous]

wait, isnt this still there?

[cristelvideo]

@peterdinosaurous There is a new ride occupying the space. Still a boat ride "Gran Fiesta" features the characters from 1944 Disney film, The Three Caballeros: Donald Duck and his friends Panchito, a Mexican rooster, and José Carioca, a Brazilian parrot.



[peterdinosaurous]

@cristelvideo ohhh yeah thats what im thinking of, they are very similar

[nayy121]

@cristelvideo you mean 1994? lol :)

[cristelvideo]

@nayy121 No, I mean 1944 !
