Rainbow Corridor

This futuristic tunnel was part of Epcot’s Imagination Pavilion, specifically Imageworks on the second floor, despite the fact that it was a little psychedelic and possibly the source of many epileptic seizures. The attraction gained popularity shortly after it opened in 1982, when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, posed for a photoshoot inside — very clever of Disney to take advantage of free marketing opportunities! When ImageWorks was relocated downstairs in 1998, all of the technicolor was reduced, and the tunnel remained abandoned until quite recently. In an announcement made at the 2019 D23 Expo, Disney stated that the Rainbow Tunnel would be reinstalled in the new “Epcot Experience Center” later this year.

Mike Fink Keel Boats

The Mike Fink Keel Boat ride at Magic Kingdom first opened its doors to guests in the year 1971. The vessels were intended to depict the keelboat races that took place between Davy Crockett and Mike Fink in the television show Davy Crockett and the River Pirates, among other things. But what good is a competition if there isn’t a prize? The winner of the high-stakes race was dubbed “King of the River.” and he was hailed as such. They were free-floating motorized boats that traveled around the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. Fink’s Gullywhumper and Crockett’s Bertha Mae were two such boats. Because to a capsizing incident, the attraction was no longer appealing to visitors, and the boats were no longer in operation as of 1997.
