That's the main reason I'm looking forward to Cars Land, so that I can share that memory with her. I barely remember the Rocket Rods, but I vividly remember waiting in line for them and how loooooong it took!

Originally Posted By tashajilek I think the nemo subs are a huge improvement! besides the subs being re done i wouldnt want any of those attractions back. well maybe the skyway.
Originally Posted By Moon Waffle I liked Rocket Rods in concept, look, and, (when it was working) it was a fun little ride. It was by no means the major attraction it was hyped up to be. And the breakdowns...frustrating.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA In watching the movie that has the Mine Train portion on it... That's how I remember Disneyland. See how quaint and old-fashioned it was back then? No FastPass. No Standby line. No Interactive queues. Notice that the walk-around characters were just...walking around.

Originally Posted By phruby I only rode RR once in my life. I used the single rider line so I missed the movies in the queue. It made the wait 10 minutes instead of two hours as posted. The ride was worth a ten minute wait but no more. I have vague memories of MTTNW but we must have rode it multiple times since it was my mom's favorite ride. She didn't like BTMR because she considered it a faster version of MTTNW.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Agreed Jim, watching the video with the Mine Train brought back great memories, a time where Disneyland seemed like it would just get better and better.
