To be fair, ALL Disney rides are great, BUT whenever they take an existing ride and change it, they risk comparisions to the original version. I don't think putting the cartoon Donald 3 amigos in there was a good idea. Disney is like a jewel in the middle of an area of Florida that is otherwise not much. I hope a recession doesn't hurt attendance in the parks like it did years ago.

It will. Recreation like the Parks will get hit as people pocket books get hit. The one good thing out of it; Disney really puts together some great packages when they feel the pinch. - _ RU

@ru42 I was reading an imagineer interview that had mentioned that some things are/are not done in the parks based on money,

@FanMa5ter - yea, the Imanigeers are great dreamers. The financial folks are great squashers of dreamers.

They killed this ride to make it appeal to kids. Losers.

Because I have never been on this one, I can't really say I like it or not, but from this video, it looks as if it was a nice and relaxing ride :) I really do like the new one though, mostly because I am a Caballeros fan! And I love Test Track and Mission Space, but I never went on the old rides that they replaced.

I will continue riding this newer version of the ride, however, I did like the old version better. Same is true for O'Canada, and the previous Spaceship Earth. I liked the older versions much better. Thank you for this wonderful video. A great memory to keep, of the older version.

I, for one, do enjoy the new ride. I am, however, still sad about Extra TERRORestrial Alien Encounter being gone...

@jdohe Recessions/depressions are hard to understand. On one hand, entertainment businesses can get hit hard because no one wants to buy such luxuries anymore. But on the other hand, people may feel more tempted to blow what little money they have on a great movie or one memorable vacation; something that will help them forget how much life sucks right now.

I miss the voiceover near the end of the boat ride (like):

"Het lik gu-baya, may it go well with you"

I hate what they've done to this ride and Spaceship Earth. They took away all the mysticness and wonder of both rides and replaced them with pure tackyness.
