What Disney Property deserves park representation?

Personally, Disney Television Animation NEEDS some sort of representation. One of the main inspirations for my History of Disney Animation ride was the fact that there would be no other way to get Darkwing Duck into The Disney Parks.

Also, Humphery the Bear and the Park Ranger (Whose name escapes me if he has one) Should be meetable characters.

As to the Park Ranger:

Humphrey's foil is usually Donald Duck; otherwise it is the officious park ranger, voiced by Bill Thompson. The ranger was never identified in the theatrical shorts, but when the films were re-edited into an hour-long Disney TV episode, the ranger now had a name: J. Audubon Woodlore.

The Humphrey shorts always looked like what I pictured northern California parks to look like around that time. It seems that they would be a natural fit, even if there aren't a ton of people who know them. They could be some of those more obscure characters that show up all the time anyway (like Little John, Fowlfellow, or the three little pigs). It could totally work.

The 1970's are completely under utilized in the park, and there are people who find that movie to be the pinnacle of the Ron Miller-years. Disney's "Ten Who Dared" of the 1970's. A classic.

What a great homage it would be to able to speed through the fake snow covered canals on a roller coaster themed to a snowmobile with AA Johnny Whitaker's and Dean Jones' witty banter. Imagine the thrills, as you whisk past Harry Morgan and Dick Van Patten and finally win the snowmobile race and save the hotel. The theme song blazing with all it's flugal horn glory. I can feel the rush just imagineering it right now.

There are no other attractions at Disneyland anywhere that use the snow setting, so I think this would be perfect.

Yes, crazycroc kids around, but not in this instance.

Thrills, humor, excitement, Dick Van Patten audio animatronic figure. The Johnny Whitaker AA doing the, "Hey, you in the Mickey Mouse ears, how did you like the hotel?", bit like Roz in MOnster's Inc.

An on-ride photo, as you pass Dean Jones in some wacky predicament !!!

This could be the new fantastic E-ticket the park hasn't had since Indy opened.

I might have to change the name of this to "Snowball Express Scary Adventures", if I leave that in.

Everyone could have their own Love Bug to ride in and be made FBI Agents and go to a kissing booth and everything!

WOW... you really have this down STIL. I wanna see this in action! hehe

{Personally, I think the Ugly Daschund also fits the bill. I've never been prone to hitting a woman, but the way that Pleshette treats Jones in that movie is the female version of misogny}

"Which way to first aid?"
"Just follow the rivers of blood."
