  • Please can you do a time line showing all the attractions have have gone? Like when River County went and the Legend of the Lion King etc

  • I was really suprised in looking at your Walt Disney World timeline, that Big Thunder for 1980 was not included. Besides being the first real stone mountain in the park(I still have my “I Skied Space Mountain” T shirt from 75), It was also a test vehicle for contractors who might also work on EPCOT.
