    JC is one our favorites.

    But I would say skip Swiss Family as it's nothing but a bunch of steps to look at furniture. I see no appeal at all to this attraction.

    Also, the movies at Canada and China. I won't go through any movie where you have to STAND. France has a nice seated theater.

    And the Hall of Presidents, at least until maybe the next election

    Wow, you're right. I just looked it up. I could have sworn it was closed a lot longer than that!

    I must have been thinking of Disneyland's version, which was closed from April 10th, 2003 until July 15th, 2005.

    And this would be exactly why WDW didn't get the Disneyland version.

    I may be stretching it with 'ride' and including an 'attraction', but give me Monster Sound Show ANY DAY over Sounds Dangerous. Sorry, but I'd go on Stitch 10x over this embarrassment.

    Yeah, except remember that the OP was talking about rides he wouldn't stand in line for. There is *never* a line for Figment.

    To me, the lamest ride at WDW is the TomorrowLand speedway. My boys won't even wait in line for it. I get that it is fun for little kids to "drive" a car. But this attraction is nothing more than a 1950's amusement park ride with no Disney theming or magic whatsoever, unlike CoP or other originals. They could do so much more with this attraction "Theme-wise" and still have the cars to drive. But they don't. It's almost an embarrassment IMHO. But at least you can see what you are going to get. There's no surprise about exactly what it is, so no reason to be disappointed. We won't even bother to ride it when there's nobody in line. There's better car rides at most local amusement parks.

    Wow, all the hate for Imagination, Nemo clams, SSE, TSMM, Mexico, and even Ariel?!?! I'm shocked. I've enjoyed the refurbs as have my kids.

    But the real shock is that no one has mentioned the greatest let down of all time. Ellen's Boring Universe of Unfunny. Holy cow this ride stinks! 45 minutes of yawn. There is NOTHING worse at WDW than this attraction, inlcuding Stich. I actually thought it would be interesting, being a science buff. But Ellen and Bill Nye drove the oak stake into the heart of this bloodsucking ride.

    My vote goes to Ellen. The ride is way too long and boring! The space it occupies is HUGE, and I'd love to see something really exciting and new go in there.

    Amen. You know why I didn't mention it? Because I had blocked it out of my memory. And it fits the OP's request about bad attractions that have lines. This one ALWAYS has a line, and it's sooooo not worth it. Yes, my DW rode it once with my youngest DD, and the DD loved it. So, for THAT reason alone it has some merit.

    Agreed. A quick upgrade would be a movie based on Dinosaurs that leads into the dino part of the ride. I have a better chance staying awake for that than Ellen playing Dream Jeopardy.

    Stitch is the ultimate WORST attraction ever.

    But since I was asked for another one besides Stitch - I'm going with the new Test Track. Lame, Lame, Lame. Looks like it was built on the "cheap."

    And Honorable Mention - to the Original Tiki Room. So boring - you'd have to PAY ME to wait on a line for that!

    My vote goes to Tomorrowland Speedway - smelly and loud and kind of boring after you do it once.

    Second vote goes to Ellen's Energy Adventure. A great big yawn for the storyline, but a great place to catch a few zzzzz's.

    Yeah, I missed the joke, too. I'm trying to figure out what Judge Judy has to do with this ride. I'm sure there'll be someone along to address our lack of "social culture". But I stand by what I said. There was a point on that attraction I was hoping the dino would eat Ellen. I'm unfamiliar with her comedy stuff, but she is so obnoxious on that ride.

    I think they are referring to 'Stupid Judy' from the attraction. ???
