Least Favorite Attraction!

[Wincaps]

ok so we had alot of people talking on the thread about Favorite Disney Attraction that i started so how about everyones least favorite. :clown:

What's your least Favorite Attraction?!

[Wishing0nStars88]

Stitch's Great Excape.
You just sit in a seat and they put a harness on you although you dont move at all.
They spray this NASTY smelling stuff at you. It made me gag. And they did it twice!
You just see this big thing of Stitch in front that moves and all.

It was such a waste of time!!! :sad1:

yeah i though it was ok... all the little girls freaked out screaming when the lights went off which made me think they were getting murdered or something... but i will have to go back and ride it a second time. I never road Alien Encounter but some people LOVED that attractions... :woohoo:

[snowprincessofAK]

SPLASH MOUNTIAN!!! I hate getting wet!:sick:

[spectroaddy]

"Its a Small world", continous song and dolls rocking back and fourth, gets kind of scary at times:eek:

[shastatikipunch]

I wasn't a big fan of the Buzz Lightyear ride. The guns don't aim all that well, and I kinda found it boring to be honest.

[Flower4Pwr]

I totally second the Stitch's Great Escape. It's such a waste of time that I don't ride it even when there is no wait. When they spray that hot dog smell in your face it literally makes me sick. The whole ride is just epic fail!

[ThinkTink510]

I have to agree with Stitch's Great Escape. I don't like that attraction very much.

[nikinicole13]

yeah i though it was ok... all the little girls freaked out screaming when the lights went off which made me think they were getting murdered or something... but i will have to go back and ride it a second time. I never road Alien Encounter but some people LOVED that attractions... :woohoo:


haha, yeah. Alien Encounter was great. Stitch sucks. Nothing like the old ride. Seriously, such a waste to change it all. :(

hm. yeah, I dont like Stitch & I also didnt see the big deal over Buzz. idk.

[Wishing0nStars88]

SPLASH MOUNTIAN!!! I hate getting wet!:sick:

:eek:
You dont like Splash MTN?!?!
Oh man, I love that ride. I always feel like such a little kid sitting there singing the songs with my friends.

Maybe if you wear a poncho to keep from getting wet?
ALOT of people do that!

[Pendragon1515]

"Its a Small world", continous song and dolls rocking back and fourth, gets kind of scary at times:eek:

i do agree with you!!! i just do not understand how the CM's do it

What's the point of wearing a pocho on a ride you are meant to get wet on,lol. Although they should warn you that Pirates pirate: is a 'log ride' with the rather large splash at the end,

[kimsuenew]

Absolutely ~ positively ~ "It's A Small World"... ugh!

[lamagique]

Well, for rides like Splash Mountain, I think people go on them for the ambiance. It's a fun ride even if you don't get wet--ie, why people wear ponchos.

[Pendragon1515]

maybe it is just me but i never have gotten wet at all on that ride. though i am 6'3" in height.

[nikinicole13]

i dont usually get wet, but i did the last time i rode. its bc i rode with my bf & sister ha

[snowprincessofAK]

Fair enough but I have gone on teh ride and seen all there is to see, so why have to get wet on something I've already experianced? I have to say 'It's a small world' can't hold a candle to the carouselle(sp?) of progress. When it comes to the annoying and catchy song.

[Wincaps]

yeah Splash is pretty sick! i have to 2nd that! :banana:

[Wincaps]

ppl love Splash... usualy on almost any warm day it has one of the longest wait times in the park!

[Joanna71985]

One word- STITCH. That ride really annoyed me.

[joepic]

Same with me. I think there was a thread on another section of the forums like this, and almost everyone chose Stitch.

That wouldn't surprise me. I tried it once, and I will not do it again.

[spectroaddy]

Speaking of scary and creepy rides and shows, have they gotten rid of those ugly new dolls in spectromagic??? They are even worse than the first chucky dolls!!!! Nothing against spectromagic, I love parade theme and song!!!! But the first part of the parade is SCARY!!!!!!!!!

Spectromen? Nope, they are still in Spectro.

[spectroaddy]

Spectromen? Nope, they are still in Spectro.

Yea, thank you, I really could do without them in the parade!!! I guess that's the theme!!!

[PosessedEeyore]

i dont like stitches great escape when he does the chili dog burp...gross!

[Joanna71985]

Yea, thank you, I really could do without them in the parade!!! I guess that's the theme!!!

I don't know. I rather like them. I can't imagine Specto without them.

When i first saw Spectro, i thought the spectromen were so scary!! haha!
their faces were glowing, and their laugh... uuuhhhh!! chills!:scared:
but their faces don't light up anymore! they are painted on the men... kinda takes away from the magic a little

[shastatikipunch]

Spectro is the one with the people and characters running around in Christmas lights isn't it??? On the topic of least favorite attractions, I've never been a big fan of the parades. The upside to that though is while the parades are going on, line wait times are down:thumbsup2

[Joanna71985]

Yes. Spectro is the parade with the lights.


I am just the opposite. I prefer the see the characters and the parades over doing the rides (especially when I am by myself). Not saying that I don't do rides at all- I do love rides.It's just that I prefer characters.

I think the problem is that when I was little, my parents shoved parades (inside Disney and out, like the 4th of July parade and stuff) down my throat, so I became really tired of them over time.

[jbellgator]

I like this thread...my least favorite attraction in Disney World is Sounds Dangerous at the Studios. Unbearable. Although it sounds like most people are talking about MK attractions..in that case my least favorite attraction is Peter Pan. I love Peter Pan the movie, but it drives me insane that the line for the attraction is always like 40 minutes, and the ride is so short and unimpressive. I know it's a classic, but I think it could stand with some revamping.

Other WDW attractions I could do with out...Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Journey into the Imagination, and Narnia at the Studios (just a glorified movie preview in my opinion).

I like most everything else though!

As far as Narnia goes... I was roommates with one of the girls who does the White Witch and spent an entire day with them. I have to say they have the best job in all the parks!!!

[Berlioz70]

What's your least Favorite Attraction?!

Star Tours and Body Wars. They are both the same basic idea and when they start moving I get sick!!! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the Star Wars movies, but I always feel like I need a barf bag on those two rides.

Oh wait - Body Wars is gone now :confused: ?

Maybe just Star Tours then!

[shastatikipunch]

I was pretty upset when I found out the Wonders of Life Pavilion (the pavilion that had Body Wars) shut down. I feel like Disney closed part of my childhood, I mean come one we all remember how health and exercised obssesed everything was back in the 90's. That and the closing of Nickelodeon Studios in Universal Orlando really made me sad. :(

[Leslie2010_Joshfan]

i dont like stitches great escape when he does the chili dog burp...gross!

totally gross! I hate that ride! You're strapped down and everything! Creeps me out! I can't imagine being a little kid and enjoying that!

We actually joke with my sister to this day about "chili dog burps" b/c after we rode that ride for the first time, it started pouring and we had to go take cover in Casey's Corner, where hot off the grill chili dogs and fries were being served. She feels queasy just thinking about it lol!:laughing:

Honestly i feel as though Universal Studios is going WAY down hill...after closing King Kong...Back to the Future...and now nick studios....i live in florida and i feel as though i do not want to pay the money to waste my time....that is just like disney taking away the tea pots or the pirates of the caribbean...such iconic rides. It is just dumb. I rather go to disney than universal. Though when they get harry potter that will be a MUST. :) other than that universal compaired to Disney....there is no competition! Disney always wins! they always have.

I've always enjoyed Universal, it's no Disney, but if you're looking for a bigger version of MGM for an older crowd, I think Universal is pretty cool. Nickelodeon Studios really made me sad though, I mean I remember visiting Universal and running over to Nick Studios and seeing the slime geyser. We used to watch them make Gak and Slime and all that stuff, and now seeing it all gone just makes me really sad.

The White Witch is no longer there.

[SweaterInJune]

I agree with:

-Stitch(anyone else feel like their collarbone was breaking when he "bounces" on your shoulders?)

-Buzz Lightyear

-Sounds Dangerous (Outdated! Sounds of the Rainforest at DAK is much more impressive!)

-Honey, I shrunk the Audience (Again...oudated! I loved the original film, but this 3D movie is not worth the time...)

and now, I must add, though I'm sure to get flamed for this:

-Dinosaur ...am I the only person that finds this ride really boring? I ride it with friends, but I don't really get anything out of it...
I do, however, find the technology in it interesting--the animatronics and the ride vehicle itself, but as a whole... :sad2:

[wdwgirl03]

"Its a Small world", continous song and dolls rocking back and fourth, gets kind of scary at times:eek:

hahaha, when I was in Disneyland with my dad last January, we got stuck on iasw for atleast an hour. Annoying at the time, but now I think it's kind of funny actually.

As for my least favorite attraction, I really don't know. I guess I'll agree with everyone about Stitch...it's just strange.

is it just me or is Casey's Corner always packed?! i was there last year during my spring break and it was packed! i couldnt imagine having to do QF&B there :scared1:

i knew the closed down king kong for a OK Mummy ride but they shut down back to the future?!?!?!?!!?!? :scared1:

Yeah they did :( They're building the Simpson's Ride where Back To The Future used to be.

[Flower4Pwr]

Yeah they did :( They're building the Simpson's Ride where Back To The Future used to be.

I think that the simpsons ride is going to be similar to back to the future though...so I'm excited!! Bring it on!

[zada82]

Well I had to reply to this one. I also dislike Stitch but I think I have a better one. Have anyone of you ever road "Carousel of Progress". The song and the ride drive me nuts.

[zada82]

Fair enough but I have gone on teh ride and seen all there is to see, so why have to get wet on something I've already experianced? I have to say 'It's a small world' can't hold a candle to the carouselle(sp?) of progress. When it comes to the annoying and catchy song.

OH YEAH! Thats what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!

[SweaterInJune]

Aww...now see, I like COP. It was Walt's thing... Of course, I'm a CM and we tend to gravitate to the stuff like that (well, many of us). Plus, I have fond memories of it from my first trip to WDW.

[Katy0708]

I do agree with everyone who said *Stitch*... terrible, terrible.... i've wasted like and hour of my life riding that... i was forced to go on it like 3 times.
BUT i will disagree with you about COP. It's truely an original, and one of the firsts. It was one of Walt's ideas, and it's really interesting how they predicted what the future would be like. i enjoy COP...
I also don't want to ride Star Tours or Dinosaur ever again... i had the WORST headaches afterwards.
As far as shows go, i'm not a huge fan of Finding Nemo, Disney Stars and Motor Cars parade, or A Bugs Life (super scary!!!).

Want to go to the parks and play? ;) I'll be back in November!

[zada82]

I'm so sorry. I love Walt and Disney! I am a manager at Disney! It is just my personal opinion about the ride. Classics are great but this one needs a tune-up.

[Joanna71985]

What! COP is a classic! Where else on property can you get a 30 minute nap, in the air conditioning, in the middle of the day?
If they want a 2nd ride to get rid of I can think of a couple at EPCOT that are a waste of space. Honey, I shrunk the audience? That is only good the first time once you know the tricks it's just dull.

[Joanna71985]

I love the ride, but I agree the song can be a little annoying. Whenever I worked with Buzz, he stands right outside the ride. So you hear that song ALL... DAY... LONG!:headache:

[SweaterInJune]

Haha... Oh, Joanna! I agree that would be rough...and I like the song. It is infectious though. Once you hear it, it's permanently embedded in the brain for a few days... They Might Be Giants did a cover of it for the 'Meet the Robinsons' ST...nicely done, but whenever I hear it, I can't stop 'hearing' it for days!


Zada82, you don't have to apologize. Everyone is entitled to an opinion :thumbsup2

1. Of course!! haha! i will be there beginning in May, and i'm always up for some play time!! :rotfl:
2. i'm sorry if i made you upset! that was not my intention at all! :lovestruc but i understand that it can use a little update!
3. Totally agree with Honey, I shrunk the audience... pointless, old, not good

i have never done A Bugs life... but how is it scarry?! jw :banana:

[Sparkie]

For me it is Stitch's Great Escape (formerly known as Alien Encounter or the original Mission to Mars) I do think that the Stitch version is more kid friendly. The Alien Encounter was scary.

The only purpose I see to the shoulder harnesses is to keep you from getting up to leave either from fear or boredom.

[shastatikipunch]

i have never done A Bugs life... but how is it scarry?! jw :banana:

Bug's Life is has a couple of jumps in it, nothing too big. The animatronic grasshopper (the character's name escapes me at the moment), is very impressive.

[SweaterInJune]

Hahahaha...too true! :lmao:

[shastatikipunch]

I never saw Alien Encounter, unfortunately :( Stitch wasn't that bad though, if the crowds are heavy, or the weather is really hot, or if you're just looking to kill time before a reservation or a Fastpass time, then it more then serves it's purpose.

do u mean Flick?! :3dglasses

[shastatikipunch]

Nah, Hopper.

[klacey1]

yeah i though it was ok... all the little girls freaked out screaming when the lights went off which made me think they were getting murdered or something... but i will have to go back and ride it a second time. I never road Alien Encounter but some people LOVED that attractions... :woohoo:


i LOVED the alien encounter ride when i was 8-- lilo and stitch was a sad, sad replacement. (and bar none my LEAST favorite ride at any amusement park ever.)

wow i didnt think lilo and stick was that bad... i rode it once last year and thought the acting and movements were entertaining i though it was decent... but i will be sure to ride it over Fall Advantage and see what i think. :cool2:

[zulemara]

Stitch's Great Excape.
You just sit in a seat and they put a harness on you although you dont move at all.
They spray this NASTY smelling stuff at you. It made me gag. And they did it twice!
You just see this big thing of Stitch in front that moves and all.

It was such a waste of time!!! :sad1:

agree 110%

[sandicinderelli]

Yep, Stitch's Great Escape was a big disappointment. The queue was better than the attraction.

[IcingSugar]

That's a hard one since all attractions are amazing maybe the videos at epcot @ the world showcase

[Piglet22]

Was anybody else heartbroken when they changed the Figment ride a few years ago and added the guy from Honey I Shrunk the Audience? I have so many memories from that ride (little brother's fav) and now it is totally different.

[dancin_princess]

Well i'm a huge Stitch Fan which is the ONLY reason i went to see this attraction and Stitch's Great Escape was a big disappointment. I dont understand why they have to strap you in and you dont even move.

[jbellgator]

I wouldn't call this my least favorite ride by any means, but was anyone else a little bummed out by Spaceship Earth when they reopened it this year?? I was never in love with the ride, but it was something I would do and I enjoyed it. When they reopened it though, I was definitely disappointed with the second half of the ride.

On the flipside though, I loved the work they did on Haunted Mansion! For me it was a must do before, and now I think it's even better.

[Berlioz70]

I agree... I also found the ride disappointing... but I believe you are strapped in because of the dark and strobes, they don't want people to get scared (children) and start to wonder around in the dark.

[Berlioz70]

Have anyone of you ever road "Carousel of Progress". The song and the ride drive me nuts.

I'm very behind on this comment... but I LOVE the CoP song!!! That, Pirates, and the Tiki room are some of my phone rings (I have 23 Disney Phone rings). When CoP goes off, I always smile :laughing:

I haven't been on the new Spaceship Earth yet, but the fact that they replaced Jeremy Irons narration with Judi Dench's voice is just blasphemous.

[CheshireSmile]

I'm with everyone else on the Stitch ride. I don't know what was going on, but those shoulder things did NOT stop when they touched my shoulders, so I got shoved down in my seat in this odd position, so when Stitch was 'bouncing' on me, I was whimpering in pain!! The lovely person next to me kept whispering what was coming next so I could be prepared, and I was so happy when she said 'it's almost over'!!! Never ever again for me.

[CelticBelle]

I went on the alien ride the one time I went to wdw and I thought it was so cool! They changed that to stitch? Does anyone know why? It kind of sounds gross not scary like alien was.

Same here!!! (...and for all of my friends) I can't believe collar bones haven't been broken by the harnesses! I discovered that if I slumped down in the seat and bent my elbows, positioning my hands palm up an inch or so above my shoulders, I could bounce the harness up before it could crush me. This is a terrible attraction in sooooooooo many ways... It's really too bad...

I only went on it once but as the things were coming down I pushed up, No idea why I did, just kinda did. This prevented me from having any problem with the thing crushing me, my brother however hated it, he said it was like having somebody hit the pressure point on your shoulder.
