“So Much Could Be Done With That Space” Disney Fans Reveal the Next Rides That Need to Permanently CLOSE
Disney World rides really are like no other.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
And they come in all shapes and sizes, from spinning rides shakers, and safaris and full-on roller coasters. The thing is that nothing lasts forever and will eventually retire, which got us thinking about how many rides will be permanently closing over the next year due to all the changes coming to Disney World. About that, we wanted to find out from you what your takes were on which rides would be next. Well, we asked and you delivered!
We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “We’re losing a lot of rides over the next couple of years. In your opinion, which Disney ride should go next?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!
What do you think?
Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!
Swiss Family Treehouse
Our reader Kristin started us off with, “Swiss Family Treehouse is forgettable. There was a much cooler jungle-themed play area in Disney California Adventure, which might require a bigger footprint, but was more fun than climbing the treehouse.”
Swiss Family Treehouse
Let’s face it, while the Swiss Family Treehouse has its nostalgic appeal, it’s not exactly a “must-visit” for most Disney-goers. Many of you agreed that the space could be reimagined into something more engaging. Could it be time to bid farewell to this relic?
Flying Carpets of Aladdin
Next, Elise pointed out, “Flying Carpets of Aladdin. MK has another spinner ride and it will open up the pathways in Adventureland so people aren’t as squished walking through that area.”
Flying Carpets
Elise isn’t wrong. Magic Kingdom already has Dumbo (and the Mad Tea Party). Meanwhile, the Flying Carpets can feel a bit redundant and, as Elise mentioned, a bit of a bottleneck for crowds in Adventureland.
Tomorrowland Speedway
It’s no surprise that Tomorrowland Speedway showed up in our poll. Christina named it outright, and Tom doubled down, saying, “The Speedway. So much could be done with that space.”
Tomorrowland Speedway
While the Speedway has its fans, many of you see it as an underwhelming use of valuable Tomorrowland real estate. With electric vehicle technology booming, many of you also feel it’s time to give the Speedway a modern update, or replace it entirely.
Mission: SPACE
Shan put it simply: “Mission space bc I cant ride it…..ever.” (Honestly, Shan, we get it. That ride can get intense!)
Mission Space
For some of you, the simulator’s heavy G-forces make it unapproachable. While not everyone is on board with its closure, Mission: SPACE definitely has a divisive reputation.
“it’s a small world”
Now, this one sparked some controversy. Steven admitted, “Most people probably would disagree with me on this. But I think small world should go. They don’t take care of it really. Mold on the walls, animatronics don’t work, audio issues in sections. Put something cool on that prime real estate.”
“it’s a small world”
That is a bold take. While “it’s a small world” is iconic, some of you agree that its maintenance issues are hard to ignore. Could Disney consider a major overhaul to revive this classic, or is it time to dream bigger for that space?
Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid
For Dan, it’s all about trading one classic Disney princess for another. He shared, “Little mermaid in MK needs to become the Beauty and the Beast dark ride.”
Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid
While the Little Mermaid ride has its fans, Dan’s suggestion isn’t far-fetched. A Beauty and the Beast dark ride, like the one in Tokyo Disneyland, could be an incredible addition to Fantasyland.
Hall of Presidents
Reader Jon kept his feedback short and sweet: “Hall of Presidents!!! 
”
Hall of Presidents
Love it or hate it, the Hall of Presidents often divides visitors. Some find it educational and inspiring; others feel it could use a more engaging overhaul, or be replaced with something less “snooze-worthy.”
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
Poor Figment. He’s beloved, but his ride gets no love. Sarah said, “Figment needs a refurb sooooo bad!! Keep some kind of Figment but update it. It’s just sad!” Janie agreed: “Figment!! He deserves so much better!!! Give him a ride worthy of him!”
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
The message is clear: you don’t want Figment to disappear. Rather, you want him to shine by giving his ride a modern reimagining of this ride to give the whimsical purple dragon the respect he deserves.
Kali River Rapids
Over in Animal Kingdom, Kara made a case for this water ride: “Kali River Rapids! It needs some TLC, vehicle remodel, and possibly retheming. I understand the current theme; it just doesn’t translate well in its current form.”
Kali River Rapids
Between its inconsistent theming and shorter ride experience, Kara and others of you feel Kali River Rapids could use a serious refresh or a whole new concept.
