Polynesian Beach Wave Machine
Where is the point in waiting for the ideal surf set when you can have a wave machine create it for you? The Polynesian Resort decided in 1971 that they wanted to offer surfing as a recreational sport for their visitors, and thus the wave machine was created! The neighboring Seven Seas Lagoon and its beaches suffered as a result of the attraction’s popularity, despite its success. Rumors spread about the early closure of the attractions, with theories ranging from mechanical failure to the more widely accepted explanation of catastrophic beach erosion. It has been reported that some of the machine’s remnants were left to decompose in the bottom of the lagoon, according to local legend.

Discovery River Boats At Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The Discovery River Boats, which first opened their doors in 1998, were meant to take passengers around the Beastly Kingdom. There were supposed to be fire breathing dragons, unicorns, krakens, and other exotic monsters on display during the trip — perhaps a Hippogriff would have shown his or her face! Unfortunately, the kingdom of creatures was never brought into the light. The Radio Disney River Cruise was rebranded to the Radio Disney River Cruise in 1999 when the attraction was given a much-needed renovation. It didn’t make a difference. Visitors appeared to be more interested in animals than in listening to a Radio Disney program — who would have imagined? That year, the attraction was permanently closed.
