What Might Have Been (And May Yet Be)

Could your favorite Disney park have been a much different place to how you see it today? The Disney Diary's Shaun Finnie looks at Disney's planned theme park attractions that haven't been built... yet.

There have been so many Disney park attraction rumors and announced plans over the years that I thought it might be fun to collect as many as possible together. No details, as some of them will form the basis for further articles, just tantalizing names and ideas at this stage.

If you know of any more, or have details of any of the following, then please feel free to mail me. I’d love to hear more about some of them myself.
