Hmmmm He did green light the SM concept before he died.

EDIT: Actually, he gave supstantial imput on the SM project and it was the last project built that Walt gave his approval on.

The last project he saw to near completion and approved was Pirates. He actually walked the attractions but died before it actually opened.

Fej is calling in an answer:

He says: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Ok - Haunted Mansion - Walt was involved in the development, but nothing conclusive hence the dispute and delay about whether it should be goofy or scary

We;;. so far we have named all attractions opened between 1967 and 1979 that are still in existance. Now, throw in all of the Tomorrowland '67 attractions (AtIS, PM, COP, etc.) and it could be any of these depending on the criteria.

Carrousel of Progress was an earlier attraction, but it was green-lighted to be moved to anchor the New TL which opened in 1967.

You are all wrong. Heehee.

I'll give you more time.

This was the last attraction that Walt came up with the concept for, in 1966, before he died. The attraction obviously opened later than that.

Walt came up with the concept for Space Mountain in the early 60's. All the ones you guys mention took a long time to build, and were thought of before this attraction. Big Thunder was a Tony Baxter project, and I don't think it was a Walt project at all.

I'll admit there's a slight trick to the question.

I told GD the answer, he's not allowed to respond.

)

I believe that was the Disney moniker that was to be given the Mineral King property.

My question - What Disneyland "Opening Day" attraction didn't actually open and operate until almost a month after opening Day?
