Trivia / Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour

• What Could Have Been: Quite a few things changed from pitch to final product.
  • The original pitch was that the racers were kids from around the world, racing around Epcot's World Showcase. This generic, un-Disney idea excited nobody.
  • The game was originally intended to have Mickey, Goofy, and the gang...but then they learned a different team at Disney Interactive gave Nintendo exclusive rights to Mickey, and he was already getting his own racing game. Further complicating things was that Roy E. Disney was incredibly stubborn when it came to the other characters. He originally only allowed Chip 'n Dale; he had to be begged to let them use Jiminy Cricket!
  • Due to the rushed development schedule, many planned levels never made it in. They included The Living Seas, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Journey into Imagination, Peter Pan's Flight, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This also meant many courses were incomplete as the deadline loomed, forcing them to turn them into coin collecting courses instead.
