Plaza Swan Boats
Starting with the obvious question of who wouldn’t like to cruise about in an oversized swan? The Swan Boats were widely regarded as one of the most soothing sights in the area. Although it was no Splash Mountain, it did provide some spectacular views of Cinderella’s Castle. Some claim that the cost of maintenance during the busy summer months was prohibitively expensive, but the true cause for the attraction’s closure in 1983 remains a mystery. A handful of the original Swans made their way to auction, where they were eventually purchased by long-time enthusiasts of the theme park attraction. Let’s hope the buyer had a swimming pool large enough to accommodate a massive swan boat.
