I used to love BTMRR. But over the years it's gotten faster and rougher (it certainly can't be me getting wimpier!) It's just not worth that long line any more.

Please Support INTERCOT's Sponsors:
-
Speedway at MK - not gone on since '78 - Neither of my children ever wanted to ride on it.
AK
Primevil Whirl was so jerky I will not ride it again.
Epcot
I don't like watching the films
DHS
Sounds Dangerous
Seen Lights Motor etc twice and don't see the need to see again.
If I never see fantasmic again I would be sad
Pretty much anything else I might go on again at any of the parks depending on the wait time.
LY I went on Phooh because there was no wait. It's cute and we are big Phooh and friends fans

We've always just walked through the theatre, as most others did as well.

I'd say...... Indiana Jones, O'Canada, Mission Space (just a bit frightened now), and Swiss Family Treehouse
I love Walt Disney World!!!!! :)
A Happy Visitor since 1974!!!
-
Hollywood Studio's- Sound's Dangerous. Once was too many. I would have left the theater early but it was too dark to see. I guess that's how they keep you in there till it's done. LOL!!
Magic kingdom- Small World. I wanted to hop out of the boat and swim back to the exit 1 minute into the ride.

Stitch- a waste of valuable time
Tea cups- just makes me want to throw up every time.

BTMRR is just too rough and jerky for me now. I don't think I'll be riding it anymore. The same can said about Dinosaur and Prime Evil Whirl.
I saw HISTA once and would never do that agin either...the mice ans snakes scared me way too much.

MK:
Dumbo (too many kids, too little seats, and it does exactly what?)
Magic Carpets - Dumbo rethemed on the other side of the park!
Snow White (just - isn't there)
Peter Pan (Ditto)
Winnie the Pooh (triple ditto!)
Tomorrowland Speedway (I drive I-95 and the Florida Turnpike - I need a lawnmower-engine-powered runaround as amusement?)
STITCH! (What a WASTE! Bring back MISSION TO MARS!)
Never been to ToonTown or whatever it's called - and see no need to go.
And Tom Sawyer Island - it's great if you have days there, but with limited time and the time and difficulty to get there (and for what?) - it's just not high on the list.
I'd love to do Treehouse, but my sister can't climb the stairs anymore, and she's threatened my life if I say I want to go to the Tiki Room again (I want to see the new show!)
EPCOT:
Universe of Energy - it smells, and Ellen gets on my nerves.
The Seas - the retheming did nothing for me (except the seagulls outside - "MINE!") - I go there just to sit in the quiet and watch the fish and meditate. And cool off. (I miss the old film you saw...)
3-D film - Saw the original and loved it, saw the Michael Jackson one once; was massively underimpressed (especially knowing who was behind it!); have no desire to see the current one.
Circle of Life - can we say preachy?
Reflections of China - have they ever updated that film?
Malestrom - should be renamed MaleYAWN, and then holding you hostage to see THEIR movie (Run fast!) - tacky.
Disney Studios:
Stunt Show - I watch NASCAR. They do this for real.
Sounds Dangerous - it just isn't as good as the original version.
Narnia Attraction - more like a mini museum. Boring.
Most any of the stage shows - just not up to fighting to sit and watch
Fantasmic! - I was so hyped about this, HAD to see it, defied rain and lighting and thunder and did the package deal to go and get seats and - I was disappointed. Maybe from what everyone had said, my expectations were too high, but....it was a letdown. More projecton on water screen, less flash, less beauty....just missing something.
And I've never done Animal Kingdom - when Lion Country Safari, which has been around for decades, is a short drive away, and a better chance to see the animals active in the cool of the day (and pay less than half the price of Disney!). What? I'll miss Everest that way? I hear the Yeti's broken again!
RedHead, with all of that being said why DO you go?

In MK I don't do the speedway (it lost its appeal when I got my license!) or Stitch. I can't do the Treehouse or much of Tom Sawyer Island because of health issues. Anything else, I'll do.
In Epcot I can't do the Space ride (I can't remember the name either!) because I'm clausterphobic. I'm not crazy about HISTA because of my fear of snakes but I'll do it.
The only thing at AK is the Bug's Life film. I'm terrified of spiders!
Usually I'll do anything if someone else in the party wants to unless I physically can't do it. I find that this is a good time to sneak in a snack! Some rides are outdated but I love them anyway!

What I don't ride anymore...
I avoid 3 rides because they make me feel sick - the teacups, primeval whirl, and the speedway. The only reason I avoid speedway is because once I was crashed into by the car behind mine....and ouch I felt that in my neck the rest of the day!
-
Ok, with fairness to RedHead, there are many other things to do. However, I love just being there. There is somthing about the music piped in everywhere, the people watching, the smells...That being said...
I HATE the Tiki Room make over. Sounds Dangerous was boring. I like the Speedway but I can not stand the smell while in line. It makes me sick. Indiana Jones we do every 5 trips. I can not remember the last time we did the Backlot Tour.

these days I can skip the following rides and not be too glum about it...
the backlot tour. the once mighty tour is now a shell of itself and needs a revamp like crazy. i don't think it needs to go away, but it just looks like WDW forgot about it.
tres caballeros/rio del tiempo. i love WDW, but they killed this ride. No nice way to say it, it's ruined. It was beautiful the way it was.
indy speedway. i love cars and racing, and driving. but the annoying rail breaks your thumbs and wrist each time you hit it. been there, seen it, done it. don't need to do it again.

I think Stitch is the only one I can think of that I would never do again. The teacups I don't do because I get sick going in circles. I have promised my girls to ride it next time, but they can't spin me alot. I have never done Sounds Dangerous and don't care too.

Wow! That's more negative opinions than I've ever heard before. Redhead, I think you are spending way too much time and money at Disney. Have you tried Six Flags?
-
At the MK, the Jungle Cruise just isn't worth the wait anymore and the Speedway should be replaced or updated. Three of my nephews (ages 7-10) took a pass the last time they were in Tomorrowland.
I also think the Great Movie Ride at DHS is a dud.
-
I think you have to look at certain rides and think about what they about before you judge them.
The rides in Fantasyland are bascially for small children. Peter Pan, Snow White, Dumbo and the rest might not appeal to you, but I know that they appeal to young set. Look at the smiles.
The thrill rides appeal to teenagers, young adults and the brave at heart. But to some, they belong somewhere else.
Rides like COP, Jungle Cruise, Pirates and the rest are to me, nostalgic. They are sweet and represent Walt Disney.
I love most, but feel some shows are a waste. I do not like the Stunt show at HS, I love the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.
The first time I went to WDW was when Main Street was a dirt road with construction all around. My dad worked there and I remember he brought us for a tour. I was not impressed and did not have the vision to see what was being created. Over the years, I saw many changes, some I like, some I don't. But I try to respect the fact what is my favorite is someone's "taking up space". Isn't it amazing we all feel differently about what's in the jar, but love the jar.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

I prefer not to ride:
Stitch's Great Escape
Tomorrowland Speedway
It's A Small World
Mission: Space
Ellen's Energy Adventure
It's Tough To Be A Bug 3D
Kilimanjaro Safaris
That's all I can think of...for now...

The Great Movie Ride.
I went on it on my honeymoon in 02 and never went on it again. It's soooo long and dull. The Wizard of Oz scene was cool, but not enough to make me go through the rest of the ride to see it.
My name is Gator. You killed my Sorcerer's Hat. Prepare to die.
