The Best LOST Disneyland Rides 

It’s been 3 months, where are you!!!

Yay a new Disneylander Vid

Yo your one of my fave RU-vidrs! I need entertainment my dude!

I have visited Disneyland 100’s of times. My first visit was when I was 3 years old...I will be 63 in June. I was a passport holder, then also worked there for 6 years {1999 to 2005) and recently, summer 2019. I went many times a year once I reached 21. As a child, I vividly remember all of these attractions. My favorite of the group was the Peoplemover. When I was a kid, they sold ticket books (10 and 15 tickets). However, the Carrousel of Progress, America the Beautiful, and Adventure Thru Inner Space did not require a ticket for a child. The Mine Train was nice and relaxing, but, during the summer (which is when we were usually there), it was hot sitting in the train cars. The caverns were beautiful and it was air conditioned. Thank you for presenting these.

Thank you! Delightful to see these rides again.

Videos never get old

Wow, great video! Thanks for the memories. I almost forgot what it was like to be a kid. I remember all of those rides, and they were all great. I remember other things like the Tiki Tiki room and Bear Country Jamboree. I still have a partial booklet of tickets, including the valuable "E" ticket. Funny story, I remember when I was about six or seven, (ca. 1974) we were waiting to get on a ride and I was begging my Dad to let me hold my own ticket, the E ticket. He finally gave in, it was like holding my very own bar of gold. The next thing I knew I dropped it. In a water feature. Oops. Needless to say that was the last time I held my own ticket for many years to come! Lol I was fortunate enough to have family down there. My grandparents lived just across the street, literally within walking distance at the time. So close in fact we would walk to the corner bus stop and watch the fireworks display at night. We were members of the Magic Kingdom Club so every year on the park's anniversary the entire family would gather to go. Then on Mickey's birthday and a few times every summer with just the grandparents and cousins. Turned out my future husband's grandparents lived across the street on the other side of the park so he was there often as well. We used to joke that was clear evidence we were meant to be. The last time we went was 2002 when my daughter was just three. We were dismayed at the crowds and a lot of changes so we just didnt feel it much after that (sorry). I guess when you experience some greatness in the heydays it carries with it a certain irreplaceable magic. Im grateful for it all. Sorry for the long post and thanks again.

Great video!! Of these 5, the one I remember most is Inner Space. As a kid, that little tube with the miniature vehicles and people really freaked me out. Even though it looks cheesy now, I seriously thought we were getting shrunk down to atom size! Of course....I was only about 5 years old:). No wonder my kids never wanted to ride Tower of Terror when they were little!

Love the intro

How I miss the old Disneyland’s Tomorrowland and Epcot Center from the 80’s! I did all these rides, but Nature’s Wonderland Mine Train. Good old times!

Happy thanksgiving Disnneylander

Another amazing Disneylander

I look forward to your videos all the time, thx for giving something great to look forward too. Keep up the great Bram

One ride that was awesome but went defunct is Rocket Rods. It was what replaced people mover. The structure originally designed for the PeopleMover was not suitable for the much greater speed and weight of the Rocket Rods ride vehicles, which caused the structure to weaken. The constant changes of speed in the ride often caused malfunctions, resulting in frequent closures of the ride and was one of the main reasons why the attraction permanently closed.

Loved the video! You should do one with California Adventure!

Adventure Thru Inner Space And Mine Train through Nature’s Wonderland are two of the greatest losses, but in particular, as someone who grew up riding Adventure Thru Inner Space in the 1970’s and 80’s right up until it closed, I miss ATIS the most. It is my all time favorite extinct (sadly) Disneyland attraction.

Every ride on the list I was able to ride on

Back in time BEFORE everything had to have an IP attached. I was on ALL of them! I was never on the stagecoach or the mules they got pulled before my time. The funny stories I could tell.

Well, its like in Roller Coaster Tycoon, Planet Coaster or all the other theme park games: If you build a transportation attraction like a monorail, train or something like this, always have at least two stations to give the people the chance to move faster from one side of the part to the other or back.

Imagine the Haunted Mansion without sound. The part that made 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea so cool was menacing pipe organ and James Mason Narration of underwater sea life and the discovery of Atlantis. I see though how it did not age well. As child my nose always pressed to the porthole and it was cold on a hot summers day. You should check out the on board soundtrack. Thanks for posting Disneylander!

The Mine Train is definitely the attraction i wished I got a chance to experience (born in 1980), even though there's an homage to Rainbow Caverns in BTMRR, I thought with the big renovations that happened to the Disneyland RR for the building of Galaxy's Edge, it would have been the perfect time to rebuild Rainbow Caverns as a Disneyland RR scene. Lost opportunity IMO. For the ones on the list I did get to experience: as a kid I called the People Mover the "Tron Ride", because of the Tron tunnel portion. Lots of great memories of the original Submarine Voyage, but the one that stands out the most was riding it with friends my junior year if high school, New Years Eve, 1997. We thought we were hilarious and unique singing "Yellow Submarine" when the ride started. Had no idea it would be my last time ever riding it since in closed in '98.

Amazing High Quality Video!!! This was the first video I watched from you and I just have to say, wow was this video amazing!!!

Going through the Matterhorn was super fun. I wish they would have more educational stuff. Disneyland taught me about gravity and showed me what I would weigh on Mars. Tom Sawyer's Island used to have these fun rocks kids could run around on. One of them moved so you could have people on it and it would move a little like a see saw. Obviously they got rid of it and that was a sad day for me. Kid probably got hurt. Anyway. Pretty sure I saw that same rock during the Mine Train footage.

Just what I needed. Thank you Bram. You never fail to entertain me.

been on all of them...

I was born in '74, and from 3 months old, until about 16 years old, we went to Disneyland every summer. I distinctly remember being on every ride, except for Nature's Wonderland. I know I was on it, but the memories of it are pretty vague. Sadly, my Disneyland really only lives on RU-vid now. We will never see original themed rides like these again. All going forward is IP. I still love going to Disneyland, but I go more for what it was, than what it is.

Hey Bram it's Rodney, I absolutely love Defunct Disneyland rides. The history about them is so interesting and I love it. Great video, this one was very entertaining. 👍🏻

The cartoon character effects of The Finding Nemo subs take away from the aesthetic beauty and undersea wonder that the used to have. I vaguely remember it.

My biggest complaint about long gone attractions is the loss of the Peoplemover. The tracks are still there. It can be rebuilt. BRIND BACK PEOPLEMOVER.!

Pls Dianeylander do Disneyland vs Disney World toy story mania

Also, can we all discuss how weird it is that people used to go to theme parks in suits and pearls? Like holy uncomfortable outings, Batman. Can you imagine the parks in heels 👠?! (Actually I’ve seen girls do that in my lifetime, and for what tho?)

Also they need to bring back the people movers

the peoplemover they added ring bars on it which makes the cars look like football helmat in order to prevent passengers jumping cars by cars and get crushed under them.

One thing to add about Inner Space, it was one of the few rides that didn't require a coupon to ride (when rides had A-E ticket ride coupons), which was nice when your coupons were running low.

the sub in the old day had a Mercedies benz Diesel engine, but now it has a Tesla electric motor on it.

Vaguely remember a round theater where you stood in the middle and a 360 degree screen played a movie around you. Was that ever a thing? Not sure if it was even Disney...but I remember something like it.

I rode them all I miss them all and shame Disney for removing them. Dave in S. CA.

I rode the peoplemover and the sky buckets and they were both super cool from what I remember I was only 9 at the time so... I must say you found some incredible footage for this video considering the lack of personal video recording devices in those times. Anyway another great video oh and nice to see the teaser video for future peachyo vids too :)

Are you going to do an extinct WDW rides list??

I can tell you, having had the great experience of riding ALL of these rides, you would have loved them. The Skyway was a pleasant way to relax for a moment, and be above the crowd!! The Peoplemover also, but had the whisper of promise of a bright future. The current mess in Tomorrowland is depressing, and, unnecessary.

House of the future and the making of Nylon?

I've never been to Disneyland but I'd give anything to ride 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Magic Kingdom again. I loved the Nautilus ride and think it would have been great as a Little Mermaid attraction. Nooooo we can't ever lose Star Tours! It's one of the last pieces of Original Trilogy Star Wars remaining since they stupidly themed Galaxy's Edge during the lame Sequels.

Thank you for your fabulous job ! I wish these attractions could run today ! They are so Disney !

people mover be lost very very long long time

Disneyland needs to have a new adventures thru (inner space) the quantum realm dark ride in omnimovers. Have Michael Douglas (Hank Pymm ) narrate the journey.

I 100% agree about slow paced rides, I wish there was more of them. I love just chilling out on the Disneyland Railroad and taking in the sights, especially the amazing part where you go behind Tom Sawyer Island and it’s almost like you totally forget there’s a theme park on the other side. Thrill rides are great but I love the feeling of just being in Disneyland, taking it slow and soaking in the atmosphere. Can you imagine living in that magical time when the monorail, skyway and peoplemover were all open at the same time? So many cozy rides, all close to each other and almost interconnected. It would’ve been amazing to just look up at and appreciate all these people moving around the sky.

There bram goes again. Fading away out of existence

Even though I never got to ride the Peoplemover or the Rocket Rods, seeing the abandoned tracks all around Tomorrowland just bugs me. A lot.

Didn't they have a fatality accident with the buckets and that's why they closed it? Maybe it was just a rumor? BTW, I remember adventures through inner space and it was super lame.

Whoops, seems like you forgot Superstar Limo, easy mistake

I’m glad you’re back! I went to Disneyland 2 times when I was a kid (around 1987 and 1990) and the only ride on your list I remember riding was the skyway buckets. All I remember about them is as a kid I thought they were really boring 😂. Hopefully that makes you feel better?

Thank you for time traveling back with all the nostalgia of the original and CLASSIC rides that will never be ridden again! Im just glad that I had my share of most the rides mentioned here of getting to ride them several hundred times in my lifetime. I will hold to the fact that Disney had made some extremely bad decisions in getting rid of these rides. The original Disney Magic has been fleeted away with these rides! I know Disneyland will always be changing and moving forward BUT I cant help but to imagine if these rides were still open today with millions of new people and new generations getting to able to experience them! I really do wish they would bring back ATIS but in a new updated form! Just keep the simulators from star tours and change those into the new ATOM MOBILES! But alas I really do thank you Disneylander for making this video in honor of the forever lost Disneyland attractions that deserves the attention and admiration! I miss them dearly!!

As said others here, I’ve had the privilege (and old age) to ride all of these rides lots of times. I still miss the Mine Train and remember when they added the new expansion to the ride into the Beaver Valley. I rode the stage coach and the saddled ride (but don’t remember whether they were mules or horses. also miss the Skyway ride. I am in the vast group of fans who believe that it was removed because of deviants spitting and dumping things on the people below, but the unpatched Matterhorn did look a bit like a KKK hood. I was depressed to see the old Submarine Ride replaced with the corny new ride and was thrilled when I got to ride the one at DisneyWorld that first year it opened because those subs looked like the ones from the movie. I also miss the hovercraft In Tomorrow Land. I just now found your thread here and have subscribed. . . Thanx!

Wait omg how old are you? This is making me feel old and I’m not that old dammit! I’ve been on some of these I’M NOT THAT OLD! *shakes fist*

A few critiques here: I had the pleasure of riding the submarine ride in both iterations. The finding nemo submarine voyage was just as good as the original. The use of the projections under the water was rather amazing. However, I do miss the sea serpent scene that goes along the submarine. The skybuckets were an awesome ride to just sit for 5 minutes. I agree, I do miss them. BUT I think the other more pressing issue with the ride was non compliance with the ADA laws. The buckets would have needed to be modified to carry wheel chairs and I don't think it would have been possible. As a kid it was nice to go from one end of the park to the other without walking a large distance. It really did cut down the walking time, and as a 4-5 year old going from the Space mountain area of Tommorrowland to the far corner of Fantasyland near the Casey junior train is a very long walk that the Skybuckets could do efficiently, The people mover is also a great attraction and one I miss. But it also had its share of issues. The reason the Magic Kindgom's ride still runs today is due to the drive system they use. They use I think LIM motors to move the cars. Where as the Disneyland ride had used, not kidding, tires. The vehicles were propelled down the track using tires that were evenly spaced. The ride would close or shut down if one of those drive tires stopped working etc... I had the pleasure of being stuck in the space mountain tunnel when the ride had broken. We had evacuate through fire stairs and evacuation stairs through space mountain and then back into the area near starcade. The peoplemover had a wonderful ride length and as a parent now that sitting time of 15 minutes is needed. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of the other 2 rides and would love to have ridden them.

Ooo I really thought you where going to add splash mountain instead of mine train threw wonderland

How many drinks do you have before you start? ;-)

In the words of the Great Offhand Disney... BRING BACK THE PEOPLEMOVER.

I knew skyway people mover and mine train was gonna be here but that order is idk

YAY! We finally have this video discord.gg/3Vwm9Rq join now. It’s indy btw

Disney seems to know kids want thrill rides. (I, on the other hands, love and miss the old rides)

I’m guessing if you did honorable mentions, super star limo would be number six

not exactly "lost"

Love the intro
