Biggest Disney Park Blunder

[Kycha]

Killing Toad

Amen!

Definitely a toss up between mr. toad (pooh is adorable just miss the toad) and the 25th anniversary pepto bismol cake/castle! YUCK!

I would have to say "Stitch". I didn't ever get to do AE but remember something space related before AE.
I don't care for the color scheme in Dinoland either, I'm sure they have their reasoning.

Biggest Blunder? California Adventure....the whole park is a blunder.

Second Biggest Blunder? Dino-Rama, I've seen better theming and rides at Busch Gardens

I must agree California Adventure is just a waste of time.

The castle birthday cake that stayed forever was my least favorite. I think they should just leave the castle alone. To walk up Main Street USA on your first day and see something other than the castle as we all know and love it just doesn't cut it for me.

IMHO to even classify Stitch's GE as an 'attraction' is just plain WRONG!!!! It is truly horrid!!!!

Agree with previous poster who mentioned the theming for the Values...maybe not a 'blunder' per se, but I really think they could have come up with soooo many other things that would not be quite so obnoxious....I can't stand the 'words' on all the buildings most of all!!!

And most importantly, the biggest blunder of all was building it waaaay too far away from me!!!

Closing the Hunchback of Notre Dame stage show at the Studios. Still the best live show they've ever had on property, and the worst part is they replaced it with NOTHING. The theater is still there and the structure holds up the San Francisco street wall. Sad.

A close second is ending Tapestry.

The changing of the Journey into Imagination ride. The present ride is a pale shadow of its former self.

Not putting the WL on the monorail...

Ending of Tapestry.

I agree Dan

"Tapestry" was the BEST

 

[AdventureGuru]

Dinorama...it reminded us of our state fair...toss in a couple of carnies and you are all set...

I'm in the minority here, because I LOVE Chester and Hesters Dino-Rama(mmm, Primeval Whirl! And the theming is darn cute!) and I LOVE California Adventure (spacious, neat retro rides, great exhibits, great shows - what's not to love?) .

But I'll never do Stitch (pay to have something burp chili at me? I think not!), and having done it once, can't understand why anyone would wait on line to go on Tomorrowland Indy Speedway - huge lines, stairs, the heavy smell of fuel all around, and then the payoff is putt putt cars.

I agree. I miss the old Journey!

In order of magnitude:

#1) Hunchback Show (I agree, it was the best show going)
#2) Tapestry of Dream Parade (The "Way-la, Way-la" song is the best)
#3) Main Street Electrical Parade
#4) Imaginum: A Statue Act
#5) Diamond Horseshoe Review (As good as the Hoop-de-Doo but free)
#6) Stitch ('nuff said)
#7) The Lion King Show in Fantasyland (Philharmagic is the BEST but the Lion King Puppet Show was a lot of fun)
#8) Characters on Holiday (That was a great way to see about 15 characters in 30 minutes)
#9) Small World Pins (There used to be a little cart outside of IASM that sold little button pins with the faces of the IASM characters for 50 cents apiece. There was about 30 different faces from the children/animals in the ride.)

You are right I would like to know what the reasoning behind this was, because they must have had some thing or idea about what they were going for.

To me it looks like a low budget carnival that rolls into town once year, all they need are a couple of ex convicts with tattoos operating "the scrambler"

 

[tlev]

The Swan and Dolphin. Ugly as sin, zero Disney themeing and they can be seen from everywhere in the Epcot area. It hurts me everytime I look up and see them dominating the skyline.

 

[Fitswimmer]

The Birthday Cake Castle-please tell me they fired the person who thought that up!
Ending Tapestry in EPCOT-is there a parade in EPCOT at all anymore?
Swan and Dolphin designs-too much corporate, too little Disney

You just answered your own question. Its is sopose to look like that. I think they did a very disney job with the cracked black top the car that they have parked there with the mcdonalds wrapers and disney stuff in the windows. Not sure why everyone picks on this area and you all need to leave Stitch alone first its an attraction not a ride and its cute!!!!!!IMHO. I rode Mr Toads Wild ride and frankily I was board it was just carboard paint and blacklights once again JMHOP

50th anniversary castle -the mirror and the gold "barbed" wire wrapping the castle

I must be weird because I loved the castle cake.-I thought it liiked like a Christmas tree decoration but I do agree that the castle should be left alone.
