I rode Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and that completely delighted me. It was a classic black-light dark ride, with a great deal of fog and red/orange lights (could be mistaken), where it seems Mr. Toad is going through hell! I'm completely bummed to know that, at one time, the Magic Kingdom had a version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride--I think that got converted to Pooh. So, if you're making a special trip out to Disneyland to see the HM there, do not miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (if you're a fan of all manner of dark rides; safe assumption here I think). :-)

Major bummer dude...

Pirates), and just too much of a classic to forsake even though it's not very long or thrilling by the conventional sense. I read a DL guide recently that gave this ride the lowest rating of any Fantasyland ride. Couldn't disagree more. I would say that's like comparing Wizard of Oz to Lord of the Rings. Without putting the old movie into context, it can't compare. But, when it was made, it was brilliant compared to what came before it. Plus, I love the dark twisted undertones to the wild ride.

I was sorry to hear that it was gone. At least they gave him a statue in the pet cemetery. Anyone else want to admit that the "Merrily" Song is a reoccurring anurythm (ear worm)? And I haven't been on it in DECADES!
