Buff, Melvin & Max from Bear Country Jamboree are still there. They turned the building into the Winnie the Pooh ride. When you are leaving the heffalumps and woozles/ Winnies dream room, look back and up.

Is there still a keelboat or am I thinking of Paris?

At the Disneyland Resort a keelboat was recently ADDED. It's called the GULLYWHUMPER.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

There are plenty of traces of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Play It! left at Sound Stage 17. The lighting rigs and cameras are still up, as well as the "phone a complete stranger" phone outside the building. The Hollywood & Dine counters are still intact behind the Mad Arcade. Perhaps one of the most interesting remnants is the Rocket Rods queue tunnel beneath a Tomorrowland walkway:







Also, some props from Fort Wilderness are now in the Haunted Mansion. Follow the link below, and scroll halfway down the page.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

The old ticket booths can be found throughout fantasyland. You can see where someone shot the glass in Haunted mansion (and supposedly on the Grand Canyon panorama, even though I've never seen it) but idk if that's really traces of past attractions as much as its traces of former guests... A replica of the TWA Rocket from Rocket to the Moon sits in front of Redd Rocket's Pizza Port but has a Coke Logo instead. Fort Wilderness can still be walked around on TSI but is not open. On autopia the statues you drive past are old ride vehicles from junior autopia and Mr. toad's wild ride. The same structure used for Carnation Plaza gardens is being used for the tent for Fantasy Faire. On a random side note, you could have owned a piece of past Disney attraction history. The old shooting sets from the shooting gallery was recently up for auction on eBay.

In the Buzz Lightyear store, there is a display case made from an old Rocket Jet ride vehicle.

Behind the Space Mountain Fast Pass machines there is a sealed up opening that used to be a quick service food counter. Can't remember the name of it though.

I was about to say the Gullywhumper is one. I would still say yeah. They just refurb it due to neglect from just being in the Rivers of America. It was really "abandoned" before they took care of it.

I don't know if this counts. But I took a picture of that old Midget Autopia car. It's just something old to Disneyland.

In the Mr Toad queue, the queue goes around a planter on the side of Toad Hall. This was where one of the towers for the Skyway was located. The concrete might still be there. The planter had a potted plant last I remember.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

Looking at the map, I do believe that there would be enough space for a nice 2 story (like Alice) darkride where the skyway station now is. Combine that with another new dark ride across the street where the motorboat pond is, and you'd have a fantastic expansion for Fantasyland!

Here's some photos I got off of flickr of the old skyway and Mine Train:

From what I hear the problem is the hill there is too steep for current standards for getting wheelchairs up there...maybe if just bulldozed the hill and made it at the same level as Fantasyland you could put the Q there...and then use the rest of the hill for a two story ride

They would just need to add a lift at the steep parts.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

I wish they'd just find a new use for the Skyway building. It's absolutely beautiful. However, I've also heard it's a sanctuary for some of the feral cats who live at Disneyland, and they are most important.

There's also:

- the Eeyore parking lot sign in the queue for Indiana Jones
- the robot host from Star Tours 1.0 is now located in the queue for Star Tours 2.0 and every now and then he perks up and says something before falling silent again.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

While thinking of this thread. I was trying to remember these YouTube videos I watched many years ago.

I found them. They are called "Forgotten Disneyland". They show alot of "Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland".

Forgotten Disneyland Part I - YouTube

Forgotten Disneyland Part II - YouTube

Forgotten Disneyland Part III - YouTube

So far, I see that they go up to part 3.

Re: Old/Abandoned Traces of Disneyland

I have a few pics of old parts of the Park: First is the tunnel to Natures Wonderland over Bear Lake. #2 is what is left of Natures Wonderland at the BBQ place. #3 is an old Autopia car in the Disneyland Hotel:
