8 Awesome Disneyland Attractions That Were Never Built

Unfortunately these movie based rides never left the development stage, but I am still holding out hope that they will build an Atlantis: The Lost Empire attraction.

The Nightmare Before Christmas ride

The Nightmare Before Christmas ride

Ride Description: Guests seated in flying coffins and would have embarked on a journey to help Jack Skellington "save Christmas." The ride would have been constructed right next to It's a Small World at Disneyland

Why It Wasn't Built: Reportedly, Tim Burton (who owns 50% of the rights to the characters) nixed the idea. But, elements from the ride are incorporated into the Haunted Mansion's annual Nightmare Before Christmas overlay.

Dick Tracy's Crime Stoppers

Ride Description: Based on the Roger Rabbit short “Tummy Trouble,” the ride would have had a similar feel to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Why It Wasn't Built: The economic problems caused by the failure of Disneyland Paris in the early '90s cancelled the project. But elements of the ride were incorporated into Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.
