Mr. Toad is a motorized car using a guide rail to follow a predefined
path through an essentially flat area
And sadly, Mr. Toad is gone. The Grand Adventures of Winnie the Pooh opened
in its place yesterday.

Pirates is a
guided boat ride, small world an unguided boat ride, I think, and
Haunted mansion is a undercar tracked ride (again uses chain conveyor
technology).

Pirates and Small World are both unguided. The system that the Haunted Mansion
uses is an omnimover system also used for the Toy Story ride in Orlando.
