    I honestly don't know what Disney was thinking when they created Stiches Great Escape!!! On the other hand, my daughters and I love American Idol. Every time we've gone in, there was a big crowd!!

    I agree about Idol.... It just never seemed worth the time to me. Not very Disney.

    Also, I know it's been there forever, but Tomorrowland Speedway. They really need to theme that and give it some Disney flare. Boring!

    You know, I never really thought about American Idol.....mainly because I never had any desire to see it. I would have said Sounds Dangerous, but its now thankfully gone. I guess Stitch. Went once, and that was one time too many!

    I have to agree with the Tomorrowland Speedway. If they rethemed it with let's say a Cars motif, I would change my mind. We have a local theme park, very small, that has the same exact attraction, just not as long of a track. There is no real theming or storyline.

    I would have to say DisneyQuest is probably the most "non disney" thing I've done in WDW. I don't know if it's just because I generally hate arcades, and this one is a mega arcade, but it's definitely my least favorite thing I've ever done in WDW.

    That would be a great area for "Cars”. I also agree on Stitch. I get what they are trying to have happen in there, but it just doesn’t go over well. I think the Chester & Hester should be made into a water park area like in Sea world for the kids to get wet and cool off. Not cheap carnival rides that you can go on at home. It’s always empty when we pass through there.
    Been there, done that and going back!!! See ya real soon !!!

    i really enjoy American Idol and think it's a perfect attraction for Hollywood Studios. this park is supposed to be about Hollywood, so what' more hollywood than a show about the behind the scenes and then the taping of one of the most popular shows in the last 10-15 years?

    Stitch is always the obvious choice for "terrible attraction which only serves to frighten small children and bore everyone else."

    I honestly can't believe that someone listed Tiki room here though.

    Another vote for the Speedway. Yes, it was part of the original Disneyland (Autopia), but the same ride can be found in almost every cheesy tacky roadside amusement park anywhere. It took no imagination to create, merely a copy of other rides that is easy to produce and maintain, even though it takes up a lot of space. I know it's popular with little ones, but so are lots of other common amusement park rides. That's no reason to include them in the Magic Kingdom. My kids thought it was pretty lame after the first time they rode it, and they never wanted to waste time waiting in line for it again. I think it should be replaced. That space is big enough for two (or 3) better attractions. Even a re-theming to "Cars" would be a huge improvement.

    Mission Space. Just seems to not fit the disney feel to me.

    Primeval Whirl and the whole Chester & Hester Dinorama in general.

    Rides like Primeval Whirl can be found at average amusement parks (and done better). Little Kennywood in Pittsburgh, for example, has a better version.

    The area itself seems like it was "Imagineered" so it could be done on the cheap and the quick. It's almost like they wanted to announce an expansion so they did one as quickly as they could. It really is out of step with the rest of the park's meticulous theming, and the rest of Walt Disney World for that matter.

    IT JUST DOESN'T BELONG ON PROPERTY!
