Thu 1/1/2009 11:03a | I've been out of the country for over 19 years. Over the past 10 years, when we've come back to visit family, I've headed to the Magic Kingdom.
One of the best attractions of my childhood was the Great Moments with Mr Lincoln display.
I understatnd that it was removed due to an anniversary theme of the park, but so far, it's not been restored.
Has Mr Lincoln gone the way of the singing bears, and the people mover? |

The rumors are that Abe will be returning soon. Also appearing will be an animatronic Obama which will give the show more of a Hall of Presidents feel.
Again, that's the rumor. No official word yet. |

I hope it returns. I know it is not the most exciting attraction to many, but it was a landmark event in the development of Audio Animitronics. |

It would be so PC to have "Honest Abe" next to "Honest Obama".
Really...I'd have a hard time sitting through such schlock...unless the other Presidents of the United States were up there too.
I'd suggest we actually wait for the new President to actually do something....you know...Presidential before we even contimplate building a robot in his name..... |

You mean the 200th aniversary don't you? Or are you talking about Uncle Walt? {;-) |

Fri 1/2/2009 7:28a | Yes of course the 200th Anniversary...the mind has some problems now and then. Thanks for the correction.
I still hope they decide to do something to celebrate this anniversary of one of the most beloved presidents. |

I was sad to see Mr. Lincoln go. I think they could incorporate him into a new show if they feel they need to update it. I also missed seeing Walt's office for some odd reason. |
