Alrighty, who wants to make up a list of old rides from the Disney parks
>>that are not being run anymore?

Here you go kids-- a correct list as of 4/1/94.

Main Street:
Walt Disney Story (currently used to show cast members occasional movies)
Main Street Cinema (used to show several short films including "The Great Train
Robbery" and some Chaplin, changed to all Mickey Mouse shorts on his 60th
birthday.
Swan Boats (by best accounts, this was a seasonal attraction only. When it did
operate, the line would back up into the hub, reaking havoc with foot traffic)
The Omnibus, or double-decker bus, is still in operation at MK, but only on
peak days.

Tomorrowland:
Circle-Vision shows: Magic Carpet Around the World, America the Beautiful,
American Journeys (about to be replaced by "Metropolis Theater" showing
English-speaking version of "Time After Time."
Left-concourse shows: Flight to the Moon, Mission to Mars (about to become
"Alien Encounter."
Home of Future Living (Space Mountain post-show)
If You Had Wings (now Delta Dreamflight)
Carousel of Progress (original 1974 show & early-1980's update, now a
mostly-new (though inferior) show.
WedWay PeopleMover (currently being re-themed to Tomorrowland Transit
Authority)
StarJets (currently being re-themed, i'm unsure of the new name)

Fantasyland:
Mickey Mouse Review (stolen by the Japaneese for Tokyo Disneyland, replaced by
the now removed "Magic Journeys," which in turn was removed from "Journey into
Imaginations" "Magic Eye Theater" to make way for "Captain Eo," soon to be
replaced by a "Lion King" stage show.
Dumbo, the Flying Elephant (the old 10-arm model was recently replaced by a
16-arm attraction)
Currently slated for re-hab: Snow White's (Scary) Adventures in July.

Frontierland:
Country Bear Vacation Hoedown (back to Jamboree show, Christmas show runs
during holidays.
Scheduled, but never built, due to demand for Pirates of Caribbean: Thunder
Mesa, including "Western River Expedition."

Originally planned but never built, "Holidayland" between Fantasyland and
Tomorrowland.

Hope this answers some questions!
