List of Former Disneyland Attractions - Frontierland

Frontierland

1955–Present, Golden Horseshoe Saloon
  • 1955–1986, Golden Horseshoe Revue : An old-west show featuring singing, dancing, joke-telling, banjo playing, and general fun and rowdiness, starring Slue-foot Sue and a gang of cowpunches. An extremely popular show, it ran in the Golden Horseshoe Saloon nearly unchanged for about three decades.
  • 1986–2003, Golden Horseshoe Variety Show: A similar show.
  • 1999–2000, All-New Woody's Roundup: A live-action show featuring characters from Toy Story. This shared the Golden Horseshoe Saloon with Billy Hill and the Hillbillies (who still perform in this location).
1955–1956, Davy Crockett Museum
Mostly given over to retail space, with a few exhibits detailing scenes from the television series of the same name
1955–1956, Pack Mules
Real mules in a line upon which were ridden to view simulated frontierlands and deserts. After renovations and upgrades, the ride was renamed:
  • 1956–1959, Rainbow Ridge Pack Mules
  • 1960–1973, Pack Mules Through Nature's Wonderland; in 1973, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Big Thunder Ranch replaced Nature's Wonderland.
1955–1956, Stage Coach
A real stagecoach drawn by real horses. After new scenic landscaping, it became:
  • 1956–1960, Rainbow Mountain Stage Coaches
1955–1960, Conestoga Wagons
A real Conestoga wagon drawn by real animals.
1956–1959, Rainbow Caverns Mine Train
A mine train ride through the new Living Desert. After the scenery was again redone in 1960, it was also upgraded and became:
  • 1960–1977, Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland. The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction replaced this sedate train ride with a roller-coaster version. The only attraction that remained from the scenic vistas was the mighty waterfall tumbling from Cascade Peak into the Rivers of America, visible only from various boat rides around the Rivers. The structure that formed Cascade Peak and its waterfalls was demolished in 1998 after it was found to be suffering structurally from the decades of water that flowed over it. Only one of the four Locomotives and two cars from the ride remain on a stretch of track where Cascade peak once stood, as a staged wreck scene. The train, however, was removed in early 2010 during the Rivers of America refurbishment. The cacti that were a part of the Living Desert section were mostly relocated to the Magic Kingdom version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Other remnants from Nature's Wonderland include the tunnel from Bear Country, the buttes from the Living Desert, the tunnel into Rainbow Caverns (though half buried in concrete), and the jumping fish seen in Bear Country, all visible on Big Thunder Trail. The animals, however, were buried in concrete as the Imagineers didn't know where to place them.
1956–1963, Mineral Hall
Mineral Hall was a shop located next door to the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train/Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland ride. Operated by Ultra-Violet Products, the Mineral Hall featured a free exhibit, which included a mineral display lit by black-light. The shop also sold related gifts and mineral samples. Selling anywhere between 10 & 50 cents, the Disneyland-themed mineral samples were labeled Walt Disney's Mineral Land - Rocks & Minerals. (description taken from FindingMickeys.com).
1956–1971, Indian War Canoes
Now Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes, and part of Critter Country.
1955–1971, Indian Village
Now Critter Country.
1986–1996, Big Thunder Ranch
A western-themed casual area for seeing shows, viewing Disneyland's horses on their breaks and days off, and dining at Big Thunder Barbecue which served ribs, chicken, potatoes, beans, and such. The Barbecue remained open for a few more years after the Ranch area became the Festival of Fools stage for The Hunchback of Notre Dame show. The area is still referred to today as Big Thunder Ranch and is used for special events and seasonal attractions.
1956–1994 and 1996–1997, Mike Fink Keel Boats
Shut down due to an accident in 1997 when the Gullywhumper boat began rocking side-to-side on a trip on the Rivers of America. The boat capsized shortly after it was rocking side-to-side. The attraction never returned. The Gullywhumper's sister boat, the Bertha Mae, was sold on Disney's auctions site. In 2003, the Gullywhumper returned to the Rivers of America as a prop and is moored on Tom Sawyer Island where it is visible from the Mark Twain Riverboat, the Sailing Ship Columbia, and the Explorer Canoes.
2004–2005 Little Patch of Heaven Petting Farm
Petting zoo located at Big Thunder Ranch to promote the film Home on the Range.
