The Barnstormer is a junior roller coaster located in the Storybook Circus section of the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini is the successor to The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm which closed in February 2011 as part of the Fantasyland expansion currently in progress.
The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm appeared to be an airplane school taught by Goofy. The story behind this ride included guests flying in Goofy's homemade airplane as it swooped, twisted and turned. It then went full speed into a barn, wherethree Audio-Animatronic chickens from Epcot's former World of Motion attraction appeared. A Hidden Mickey formed by a jumble of wires could be found in the attraction's queue near the "popcorn plants".

Goofy's Sky School (formerly Mulholland Madness) is a steel wild mouse roller coaster at the Paradise Pier section of Disney California Adventure.
Walt Disney Imagineers have designed the updated theme (changed from Mulholland Madness in 2011) around the Disney animated cartoon "Goofy's Glider". Riders board a plane and navigate a crash course of flying which features sharp turns, steep drops and sudden stops. Goofy is pictured on billboards throughout the ride teaching guests the step-by-step process of flying a plane.
The attraction's original name came from the famed Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, California, named after the famed engineer William Mulholland. Within the first month of its operation, three accidents occurred on the ride causing it to be shut for a short period of time for repairs.

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, commonly referred to as the Enchanted Tiki Room or the Tiki Room, is an Audio Animatronic production located in Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
The attraction marked an important milestone for Walt Disney Imagineering, as it was the first show to feature Audio Animatronic characters, in this case, a group of birds and Tiki gods performing a tropical serenade.
So innovative was the technology by 1963 standards that an Audio-Animatronics talking "barker" bird (Juan, cousin of José, one of the four main birds in the show) once located near the walkway to beckon visitors inside, caused enormous traffic jams of visitors trying to catch a glimpse of it.
In 1998, the Walt Disney World version was refurbished into The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management, and introduced a storyline where Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King purchased the Tiki Room. After a fire in the building, the attraction was returned to its original production in 2011, albeit edited to a shorter running time.

Horizons was a dark ride featuring the Omnimover technology, also seen in the Haunted Mansion, to take guests past show scenes depicting visions of the future on land, in sea and in colonies in outer space.
Horizons was the only attraction in "Future World" to showcase all of Epcot's "Future World" elements: communication, community interaction, energy, transportation, anatomy, physiology, and imagination, to depict how humans might live in the 21st century.
Horizons began with a section entitled "Looking Back at Tomorrow," showcasing visions of the future as perceived from the era of Jules Verne through the 1950s. The ride then moved past two immense OMNIMAX screens (groundbreaking technology at the time the ride was built), showing modern technologies and ideas that could be used to build the world of tomorrow. Afterward came the main part of the ride: visions of futuristic life in cities, deserts, undersea, and even in space. The only Disney attraction at the time with multiple endings, Horizons then allowed riders to select which path they wanted to take back to the FuturePort: from the space station Brava Centauri (depicting space colonization), from the desert farm of Mesa Verde (depicting arid-zone agriculture), or from the Sea Castle research base (depicting ocean colonization).
As the final part of the ride, guests in their "omnimover" would push a button to select amongst the three choices and would be presented with a 31-second video sequence. A film would then be displayed to riders in each individual car.
If you chose any option other than space you were lame.
