Two rides closed (8/13/2017)

we are going to miss these, especially Ellen's Energy Adventure. It was always a nice place to get out of the heat for a while and My oldest granddaughter loves dinosaurs. Every time we saw the show I thought of her and how she would enjoy it.
We tried to get them to Disney and pay the way when I was working, Daughter won't fly and son in law won't drive that far.

I don't get the reference to Mickey and Roadster Racers as there appears to be NO connection between "Mickey and Roadster Racers" and "Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway" as there are not one in the same.

The ride will be themed upon the Mickey Mouse shorts shown on Disney Channel, and will be the first Mickey-themed ride-through attraction in the history of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

"At the beginning of the ride, guests will be invited to watch the premiere of a new Mickey Mouse cartoon, in which Mickey and Minnie Mouse prepare for a picnic outing and encounter Goofy conducting a train. According to Imagineer Kevin Rafferty, guests will then pass through a simulated movie screen (as in the 2013 short Get a Horse!) where they will experience a “zippy zany out-of-control adventure”. Guests will then be transported into the cartoon and aboard Goofy's train, which takes them on a wild adventure.  The ride is described as "2 and  1⁄2 D" since no 3D glasses would be needed for the ride.  It will also include more hidden Mickeys than any existing ride."

You have to be 4 to get the connection doc???

Circle of Life Show in The Land Pavillion is also supposed to be closing in February. (Feb 3rd per WDWMagic)

Wonders of Flight closed this past weekend to be replaced by PIXAR "Up" bird show.

Yes, Circle is Life Show is closing forever on February 3, 2018.  Circle of Life has been running for almost 22 years now.  Disney Performing Arts, which currently holds workshops and performances in a trailer located between the Germany and Italy pavilions in World Showcase, will take over the space shortly after the closure for student workshops and performances beginning February 9, 2018.

Yes, Stitch's Great Escape closed. To some people, this attraction has been listed as one of the worse attractions in all of WDW history. It really wasn't even a new attraction but a revamp on the Alien Encounter attraction.

The one and only...that is the only Wonders of Flight in WDW.

Mike, that subject and comments are covered under the thread...."Wench Auction" gone
