Hey all,

Check out this vintage item on Ebay.

A car from Horizons!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Epcot-RARE-Horizons-Retired-Attraction-Vehicle-/200525034851?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb0393563

I only remember riding this very vaguely as I wasn't even 10 when we got to go.

I wonder if the destination buttons still light up?

Thought you'd all get a kick out of this.

Have a good start to your week!

This has been on there for awhile. It used to be much more expensive, but over the last couple of years the price has dropped.

If you really want to ride Horizons, go here: www.horizonsresurrected.com

A bit more than I have to spend, and I don't think my wife will be ok with putting it in the living room.

Beside, great for a ride, but I don 't recall them being that comfortable. might have to add cushioning

What were they asking before? I've always seen it listed at 10k, but I see they got desperate to move since it's now on ebay (which means they have to pay to them as well).

I wonder how much they paid for it (I would imagine disney isn't selling it on consignment)?

I've always said that Disney is one of the few companies that can sell it's garbage at a profit. When disneyland hosted a disneyana convention in 2001 (it was so 9/10) they had "Walt's Garage" which was all the trash and people snapped everything up at a premium, signs, old hotel room stuff, costume parts, even the used and abused fiberglass bodies from autopia.

This reminds me so much of my dad. Although he could never afford this kind of thing, he is always looking for Horizons ride props on Ebay. Recently, there was a boot that was on the ride that sold for several hundred dollars.

When my son was a college intern at WDW he purchased one of the old seats from Space Mountain. I think he paid 15 bucks for it. He won't take off the tag they put on it, because otherwise there isn't any other markings on it to let you know what it is or where it came from
