(1990) DLR: The Disney Decade That Never Was

For Disneyland's 35th anniversary, Michael Eisner took the rather unprecedented step of actually announcing the next ten years' worth of attractions for the Happiest Place on Earth. This is a lesson on why you should NEVER believe websites (or even Disney) until you actually see ground being broken and walls up around it!

how funny that NONE of this ever became of anything! LOL

[CSUFSteve]

@TikiBoy382 Well, you know how it is, no idea ever truly dies at Disney! Someone below posted ways in which the ideas have manifested, at least in one form or another...

Hell yeah, there needs to be more love for Alien Encounter. Sickest ride ever, I loved it to death. Replacing it has to be Disney's biggest mistake since Euro-Disney.

[CSUFSteve]

I also have to agree that Alien Encounter is far superior to Stitch, IMO. I personally don't know anyone that likes Stitch but obviously there are those that do. And hey! Go easy on Euro Disney. Disneyland Paris is an AWESOME park, it's the Studio park that sucks (but is improving). :-)

this one is great. im still looking for ernest goes to splash mountain.

[CSUFSteve]

Look how young Ariel is in that clip.

oooooooh! great preview I cannot wait until 1991!

Euro Disney was Disney's biggest mistake. In a financial sense of course. It is one of the most amazing Disney parks ever, one of the most beautiful and unique. But it was Eisner's fault for putting 7 hotels with one park, overspending on most attractions, and for pissing off the French. Out of those things, the hotels were the biggest problem. 7 hotels, 7, for 1 park! WDW opened with 2!

This clip had me excited when I was 10 years old, though alot of those rides are like the flying cars and personal jetpacks that they said people would have had by now...they never materialized!

I wish we we have the Muppet stageshow at Disneyland. Oh well.

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

I don't recall that scene in The Little Mermaid, or at least the look.

[luisrox94]

Actually that Muppet show they mentioned was to a live action stage show. Don't even get me started on why Muppet Vision 3D wasn't at Disneyland in the '90s

[jediscum11]

Me too! lol

[Bleachfan241]

Why Lie about Disneyland?

[PumpkinKingMatt]

Wow, what a bunch of lying crap, lol.
