    Peter Pan...we don't get it. We waited an hour one time. And that's the last time we rode it. Pretty darn boring.

    I'm with the Toy Story Mania crowd. To quote Stewie Griffin, "what's the appeal?"

    Test Track was my first thought. Haven't bothered with Astro Orbitor since they made us ride 2 in a car. Also the Speedway is so not worth the long hot wait.

    I have always loved TTA, but the new audio is the most boring audio I have ever heard on any ride anywhere in the world, it is now as boring as Spaceship Earth!!!

    Definitely Toy Story Mania. Good ride, not a great ride, and definitely not worth 70 minutes plus wait

    Soarin here too. It is nice, but I wouldn't do a stand by queue. FP ok. I never saw the WDW version since I think it is the same as DCA (DL) one.

    Soarin'. I think for whatever reason my eye/ear system doesn't work properly and I never feel like I'm flying.

    The Seas with Nemo. It's like they said, "Look people are really going to complain if we give Disneyland their subs back and not the Magic Kingdom, so lets put an attraction in Epcot that uses the same character projection technology! They'll HAVE to love that!!!" NOT.

    Nemo ride is a total waste of time. I would not wait again they should have put the money elsewhere.

    Fantasmic.

    I agree with an earlier post that said the Fantasmic at DL is awesome. I got to see that one 14 years ago. But two years ago I went to see the one at WDW, and both my DW and I were completely underwhelmed.

    As far as rides like Astro Orbiter, TTA, Tomorrowland Speedway, and Peter Pan...I wouldn't say that there is any buzz to them. But people seem to rave about Fantasmic, TSM, Soarin', etc.

    I would have to say the Nemo ride in the living
    seas. I love turtle talk. It is such a cute show.
    Why would anyone not like Soarin? It is a great
    ride but then we always get a fast pass for it.

    Post fuss

    I would have to agree with Nemo - it really doesn't make any sense to me.

    Soarin' I like mainly because of the music. However, why can't they make a film of Florida sites, or even Southeast U.S.?

    I'm going to go with a defunct ride at WDW- Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I road it. Never thought it was that amazing or special. It seemed like it could have at least been updated to make it more in keeping with technological advances in rides. I had no problem with seeing it closed. Love the characters, but the ride was like a hokey old carnival ride. Maybe that's the appeal, but it was lost on me. And people are so nostalgic about it! I don't get it.

    Peter Pan. The ride itself is fine, but I don't understand the ridiculous waits.

    I totally agree with most of you.

    1. Nemo - maybe it is fun for the kids but I was totally bored.

    2. Maelstrom - first ride was the last ride.

    3. Fantasmic - saw it once it was fine. Saw it twice and I want my 45 minutes back.

    Let me add Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse - did I miss something? All I did was walk through a tree.

    Test track - the first time is a lot of fun...but I don't get the long waits by folks who have ridden it multiple times and are no longer surprised by any of the "near incidents" or special effects (i.e. you know you don't ever "crash" or have a sudden drop)...the best part of the ride is the equivalent of riding in a convertible on a state highway....yes, a ride in a convertible with the top down is enjoyable, but I would never dream of waiting 90 minutes for the experience.

    i completely agree there is always long lines for these but why waste your time when you can go to some other park and do them there? As fir having three of the same type of ride is weird for Disney.
