Co-Hosts: Tim Hicks & Willie Crocker
Host Aaron Rittmaster and Co-hosts Willie Crocker and Tim Hicks go right back to the Top 9 well, but with a new twist. This time, they take their first look back at Disney History (or, rather, un-history), talking about their favorite attractions that didn’t end up getting built in U.S. Disney theme parks. All of these attractions reached at least the concept art stage, and some were even publicly announced before being canceled.
Thank you to the DISDads Podcast PLUS Sponsors, who help make this show possible:
What do you think of our list? What unbuilt attraction should have been in the Top 9, but didn’t make it? Which unbuilt attractions did we overrate? What’s YOUR favorite unbuilt Disney attraction?

Geyser Mountain was considered for both Disneyland & Disneyland Paris

Mt. Fuji would have given the Japan Pavilion a totally different profile.

-
Concepts originally developed for this attraction made their way into Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

-
Hard to understand how this concept could have been so thoroughly botched TWICE

-
The attraction’s story was that guests were visiting a top-secret Swiss bobsled training facility

-
Bat-themed ride vehicles invade the Dragon Tower
-
-
The Excavator would have stretched across Dinoland U.S.A,

Tony Baxter never gave up on this attraction. Could it be what the WDW Frontierland needs to be relevant again?

Atlantis Exhibition actually had a construction banner in Disneyland Theme Park.
