List of Disney attractions that were never built
This is a list of publicly known Disney attractions that were never built, that is, rides and shows of Disney parks that never reached the final building stage. Some of them were fully designed and not built. Others were concepts, sometimes with preliminary artwork. Many were developed as far as it could but funding was either reallocated, consolidated and optimized in the "best possible" return of investment. In other major projects, signs of reuse documentation was evident in some of the parks.

Attractions
Disneyland
Name | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|
Atlantis Expedition | A re-theming of the Submarine Voyage in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, in which guests would have been able to use a mechanical arm that extended out into the water from their submarine window to grab at gold coins & gems lining the sea floor. The box-office failure of the 2001 animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire caused this planned revamp to be scrapped. | |
Candy Mountain | An addition to the Casey Jr. Train Ride in Fantasyland, it was supposed to be a mountain, that looked like it was made out of rock candy (and other various types of candy, such as licorice, lollipops, and candy canes), with a glossy, translucent appearance. The planned Rainbow Road To Oz attraction, was supposed to go underneath the mountain, and the ride would be inside it. It was cancelled due to Walt Disney being concerned about how they would be able to maintain and clean the mountain "because of all the smog" that came from around Anaheim, California. | |
Geyser Mountain | A Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror-style ride to be built in Frontierland. Guests riding in a huge drilling machine would be caught in a massive geyser and thrown into the air. | [29][30] |
Herbie The Love Bug Ride | An attraction conceived in 1976, to be placed in Fantasyland, it would take guests through scenes from the first two Herbie the Love Bug movies, The Love Bug and Herbie Rides Again,(in Largerst Herbies) such as Herbie driving up the Golden Gate Bridge, or the famous scene where Herbie skips across water. At the end of the ride, the Largerst Herbie ride vehicle wouldn't split in half (like in the movie). It was cancelled for unknown reasons. | |
Fireworks Factory | An interactive shooter ride designed for Discovery Bay, housed inside a fireworks factory, where guests would shoot at skyrockets, pinwheels and other fireworks. A much smaller version was placed in Mickey's Toontown. | [31] |
The Enchanted Snow Palace | A dark ride that was planned for Fantasyland at Disneyland. Marc Davis was instrumental in its design. It was designed as a boat ride on a river of melting ice, past naturalistic scenes of Arctic wildlife, beneath a display of the Northern Lights, and into the realm of the Snow Queen, a fantastical land populated by frost fairies and snow giants. Although eventually scrapped, extensive concept art still exists for this attraction. | [32] |
Lightkeepers | A nighttime pageant that was planned for "Tomorrowland 2055". The show would have been about an entire race of god-like alien creatures that created light. They were alleged to come from a far-off mythical galaxy, where light was the source of everything. Created as a possible Main Street Electrical Parade replacement, the idea eventually inspired the short-lived Light Magic nighttime parade. | [33] |
Indiana Jones and the Lost Expedition | A huge complex designed to house the Indiana Jones Adventure as well as a mine cart roller coaster and part of the Jungle Cruise, with the Disneyland Railroad travelling through the middle. | [34] |
Duck Bumps | A bumper boat ride planned for Fantasyland, to be built against International Street alongside the lagoon. | [35] |
The Museum of the Weird | A planned attraction within an attraction to be included at the beginning of The Haunted Mansion attraction. It was suggested and named by Walt Disney after a sleepless night spent thinking of a way to use all the strange and unusual concepts created for the attraction by Imagineer Rolly Crump. It included a chair that stood up and talked and many other weird things that had been collected from around the world. It was eventually cancelled when The Haunted Mansion attraction was changed from a walk-though attraction to a ride-through attraction. Several of the Museum of the Weirds designs were incorporated into The Haunted Mansion attraction including the wallpaper on the walls of the corridor of doors scene. | [36] |
The Old Ferris Mill | A ferris wheel ride next to Duck Bumps which would take guests twirling around on a windmill. The concept might have been based on the 1937 Silly Symphonies cartoon The Old Mill. | |
Dumbo's Circusland | A sub-area of Fantasyland where Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Casey Jr. Circus Train would have been relocated. The idea eventually inspired the Storybook Circus subarea of the Fantasyland expansion at the Magic Kingdom. | [37] |
Circus Hot Air Balloons | Would have bordered Discovery Bay and Dumbo's Circusland. | [37] |
Dumbo's Circus | A nutty adventure underneath the big top with Dumbo leading the way. | [37] |

The Walt Disney Story | A film presentation & exhibit about Walt Disney coming to California which was to be housed inside the current Cathay Circle Theater building. The attraction was cancelled when it was decided that more film based attractions were not needed for the park, and the space would better serve as a restaurant to increase revenues. | |
Mickey's Philharmagic | A clone of the popular 3D film attraction from Walt Disney World. It would have replaced the current "Muppet*Vision 3D" attraction. The attraction was canceled when it was deemed that the entire Muppet*Vision theater would have had to be rebuilt in order to incorporate a screen wide enough to properly present the film in its intended size. | |
Toy Story The Musical | A new production of the same stage show borrowed from the Disney Cruise Line. The show would have replaced Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular inside the Hyperion Theater. |

Epcot
Name | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|
Simulated Bullet Train Ride | A unique variation on Disney's CircleVision 360 show. Guests would have found themselves standing aboard a vibrating recreation of the passenger compartment of a Japanese bullet train. Looking out through the oversized faux windows in this passenger car, they would have been treated to a high-speed travelogue as some of Japan's most beautiful scenery whizzed by the windows. The attraction was planned for the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. | [17] |
Godzilla Bullet Train Ride | Similar to both the Mt. Fuji and Bullet Train ideas, in this case having the bullet train run afoul of Godzilla in Tokyo Bay, followed by a race to safety. This ride would be planned for the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. This ride inspired Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom | [17] |
Rhine River Cruise | A cruise down Germany's most famous rivers, including the Rhine, the Tauber, the Ruhr and the Isar. Detailed miniatures of famous landmarks would also be seen, including one of the Cologne Cathedral.

Time Racers | A high-tech thrill ride about fast-forwarding through history that was to replace Spaceship Earth. | [17] |
Jr. Autopia | The Disneyland attraction would be added next to the new Test Track for a new Transportation pavilion. The concept emerged in response to Test Track's high rider height requirements. | |
Thames River Ride | Designed as part of the UK pavilion, this full-scale water ride would visit key London landmarks. Concept art from 1986 shows the Tower of London, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament. | [38] |
WEDway PeopleMover | When the Communicore (now Innoventions East and West) buildings were built, they were designed with a second level and very high ceilings. This was because a peoplemover system was destined to be installed on the second level. | |
The Incredible Journey Within | An omnimover ride to be part of the health and fitness pavilion which "shrunk" guest to tour the human body. The idea was similar to Adventure Thru Inner Space, formally at Disneyland. The idea was scrapped due to concerns regarding the costs in maintaining the giant props and set pieces (such as moving heart valves, air sacks breathing in the lungs, etc.) The premise for the ride eventually led to Body Wars, a motion simulator through the human body. |

Name | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|
Western River Expedition | A Pirates of the Caribbean-style ride through the Wild West. This was first proposed for Walt Disney's Riverfront Square. The land proposed for the ride is now used by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. | [39] |

Disneyland Paris
Name | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|
The Undersea Voyage of the Little Mermaid | A Little Mermaid-themed dark ride, due to open on the hillside facing Pizzeria Bella Notte, so that it would fit the "Mediterranean" look of this part of Fantasyland. However, since Disney California Adventure Park and Magic Kingdom have built this ride, it may open in the European Resort in the future. | |
Matterhorn Bobsleds | An updated replica of the popular ride from Disneyland which would have been placed behind Fantasyland Station. A still existing tunnel was created below the station so that the ride could have been accessible from both the Toad Hall area and from Le Pays des Contes de Fées. | |
Indiana Jones Adventure | Since 1995, the large "Jungle Exploration" space behind Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril has been reserved for an attraction of the size of Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. It is unknown if it may become reality or whether the space is entirely for that attraction. | |
Splash Mountain | Since Splash Mountain and Disneyland Paris were built at the same time, the ride was not part of the original design. However, Imagineers intended to have it built in the Cottonwood Creek area of Frontierland in the following years. They designed Frontierland Depot so that the station can be easily removed and relocated elsewhere. They decided against it due to cold weather in Paris and for budgetary reasons. | |
Geyser Mountain | A free-fall ride envisioned for Frontierland, possibly located in the Cottonwood Creek area. Designed as a mining facility in the middle of a geyser field, it would have taken guests to subterranean caves filled with golden ore, until they reached the heart of an active geyser known as the Old Unfaithful.
