- Lanny Smoot, a Disney legend who has already patented over 100 inventions, 74 of which are at Disney Imagineering—including Madame Leota’s floating head.
- You’ll be familiar with his work on that incredible lightsaber he made as real as possible with retractable “laser” action. And now he’s made a very real HoloDeck-inspired invention, a game-changer for the world of VR. “We call it the HoloTile floor,” Smoot shared in a video released by Disney Parks to celebrate his induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame; he’s only the second Disney inventor to become a member. The first was Walt Disney himself, for his work on the multi-plane camera.

- Epcot
- World Showcase
- The Missing Rides that I would LOVE to experience again
- Body Wars (1989 – 2007)
- We did a whole segment on this attraction. But it was super cool and starred Elizabeth Shue, and Otter from Animal House. AKA, VP John Hoynes in West Wing. AKA Tim Matheson
- Honestly the entire Wonders of Life pavilion, which has been teased several time to re-open with various themes – PLAY being the latest.
- Horizons (1983 – 1994) (1995 – 1999)
- Think of riding through scenes similar to Spaceship Earth, but this focused on living life in the future vs. just communication.
- But then you got to choose how you would return to Epcot, either through the desert, from Space, or from an undersea research station.
- The Great Movie Ride (1989 – 2017)
- Riding right through the scenes of the greatest movies ever was just so cool
- The montage at the end was so well done.
- Big John!
- Maelstrom (1988 – 2014)
- I LOVED learning about Norway this way, and it made me wish every nation in World Showcase had an attraction that walked you through the culture like this combo ride & movie.
- A lot of folks walked right through the movie portion, but those that never saw it were missing out.
- Extra Terror-restrial Alien Encounter
- I’d even take the Stitch version, although I prefer the super creepy, legit scary version that gave people heart attacks.
- Frankly, this is a HUGE attraction area in Tomorrowland that is going unused – and frankly Tomorrowland could use another major attraction.
- Skyway
- This was an aerial gondola ride that carried guests from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland (or vice versa)
- It existed at Disney land from 1954 – 1994
- MK 1971 – 1999
- And DL Tokyo 1983 – 1998
- Maybe there is a market for it considering the success (or at leasy I think success) of Skyliner
- This was an aerial gondola ride that carried guests from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland (or vice versa)
- World Showcase
