I remember the people mover and the Stormtrooper in the shadows. Wow, I remember hearing they shut down the sub, didn't know they brought it back with the Nemo theme. The days of Disneyland having rides that are not based off of movies is quickly fading away looks like.

I miss the peoplemover too... althuogh mainly I was a mark for the Tron segment... and even I have to admit that was extremely dated. Same with Captain EO. Even if Jackson hadn't turned into a pariah, the imersion technology had grown to far surpass mere 3D. The Honey I Shrunk the Kids ride is a big leap forward.

And had you riden the submarine ride before it closed? It looked like crap. It was a 40 year old animatronic ride, and technology had left it behind a long, long time ago. It needed some kind of facelift bad.

Disneyland always based many of it's attractions on its tv and movie properties, since the 50s. Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, Matterhorn (Third Man on the Mountain). Frontierland was practically built with Davey Crockett-mania.

Although I admit I'd like to see Captain EO again, I for one don't feel any particular sense of nostalgia or regret that the old rides are gone. Disneyland has always been constantly changing since it was built.

Although I agree I wouldn't mind having a DVD preservation of the original Star Tours just for fun.
