Every year when we visit WDW, there are more rides and attractions the kids are able to experience and/or want to experience. However, there are some that the kids flat out refuse to ride or have absolutely no interest to ride. Also, there are some we've ridden and once was enough. To be honest, I am not heartbroken to miss them either. :lmao:

Here are a few on our must "miss" attractions list for WDW:

Magic Kingdom
The Enchanted Tiki Room - Under New Management *
Snow White's Scary Adventures *
The Barnstormer *
Stitch's Great Escape! *
Tomorrowland Indy Speedway *

Epcot
Universe of Energy **
The Circle of Life **
Living with the Land *
Journey Into Imagination with Figment *
Reflections of China **
Impressions de France **
O Canada! **

Disney's Hollywood Studios
Sounds Dangerous **
Voyage of the Little Mermaid *
Studios Backlot Tour *
American Idol Experience **

Disney's Animal Kingdom
It's Tough to be a Bug! *
Dinosaur *
Flights of Wonder **

* We have experienced this attraction.
** We have not experienced this attraction.


Are there any attractions that ...

:surfweb: Jennifer

(Reminder: This is my personal opinion. I love WDW and am in no way against Disney or it's parks. )
 
Off the top of my head without much thought...

Stitch's Great Escape...hate it.

Sounds Dangerous...total waste of space.
 
Tomorrowland "indy speedway"...which is pretty much a misnomer...since the ride puts along at a pathetic pace... while riders huff the fumes from the car in front of them and get a migraine. Worst waste of Disney space ever.

Too bad they aren't re-vamping it with a Cars theme with the other renovations
 

Hmmm... well some of the OP's list of attractions not to do are on my MUST do every trip list! :rotfl2:

MK - Stitch & Teacups (although the kids love the teacups...just not for me or dh)
AK - Primeval Whirl (aka Primeval HURL!)
DHS - Sounds Dangerous
Epcot... nothing really...hmm maybe Mission Space Orange!
 
Mission Space...I actually like the ride, but it makes me naseous the whole rest of the day.

Stitch's Great Escape, terrible attraction, why is it still there?

Sounds Dangerous, I've never done it, but heard enough terrible reviews not to bother.

Malestrom....I do not understand why this ride has or needs a FP? :confused3

American Idol. I watch the show, but have zero interest in it at Disney

That's how the dining boards usually are when people ask for their worst restaurant pick at WDW.
Eventually, every restaurant ends up on the list. :lmao:

The above and everest rode it once and couldnt tell you anything about the ride had my eyes closed thougt i was going to pass out dont like thrill rides. Just thought i had to try it because it was disney my biggest fear i would turn into a disney death story i wanted to sit there longer but had to get up. My mistake was riding it my firt day let say i couldnt eat that day made my dad ride it twice and he was pail white and felt in a couple day later. Let just say i wont do any more thrill rides that why i could never be a cm my luck and get put to work tot and have to ride so i could describe it and have to refuse i could never do that even if it meant i get to work for disney. No i wrong i probely do it if it meant i could work for disney but have to have an amblunce waiting to rush me to the hospital lol.
 
Stitch's Great Escape, terrible attraction, why is it still there? I totally agree!

Sounds Dangerous, I've never done it, but heard enough terrible reviews not to bother. Same here.

American Idol. I watch the show, but have zero interest in it at Disney.
I forgot about that one. I need to add it to my list. The kids have no desire to sit through it. Maybe, when DD7 is older (if it's still around.).

I can't say there are MUST miss things...but more like "unless we REALLY have time to kill and the lines are too long elsewhere..."

MK:
Tomorrowland Speedway: We actually NEVER did the speedway until last year. But the kids love it now. I always thought it was a huge amount of space that could be used by something better, or several somethings.
Riverboat: Slow ride to nowhere.
Tom Sawyer Island: Crowded raft to leave you stranded on an island, where you walk around, then wait for another crowded raft to take you back to where you really want to go.
Stitch: I was actually scared/thrilled by its predecessor. Now its only if the kids must go, and I don't think even they are that interested.
Country Bear Jamboree: I like the classic attractions, but this wasn't good.

Epcot:
The country movies in general. Seen them. Don't really need to again. If we had to do one, we'd probably do Canada.

DHS:
Sounds Dangerous, unless its really hot.
Backlot Tour is a maybe, maybe every few trips.

AK:
Primeval Whirl. DD#1 will beg for it though. Hurts my back.
Triceratops Spin. Already got two of these rides, don't need a third. And we're getting a second Dumbo (if that is still in the plans).
 
I would go on any ride at disney if i was getting paid, No matter how awful it is.
 
First of all, WHAT'S wrong with Oh Canada movie? It's the best 360 movie going (and I'm not being canadian biased, I just think it's good). And Journey to Imagination? Although it's nowhere near what it once was, it's still Figment.

Heck, even American Idol is worth it, especially in the summer heat (I renamed it the "Over Air Conditioned experience".

For me, the only two would be Stitch and the tea cups. Dinosaur was good, but a tad too jerky for me.
 
i would go on any ride if i was getting paid to do ! heck, i have to pay Disney normally, if someone wants to pay me , even better !! i cant believe the OP said they dont like Living with the Land !! i love that attraction! oh well, to each his own. i will agree with Sound dangerous, that is such a HORRIBLE attraction. but if you want to PAY me, im all about it !
 
I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like Sounds Dangerous. Then again, I'm a big Drew Carey fan.

The only rides I won't go on are the ones that I know would make me sick... like the Teacups, any of the coasters, ToT, and especially Mission Space.
 
Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland...

At nine years old I had what I think was my very first panic attack in one of those darned things and I haven't been back up in them since...

(It's kinda funny, though... Rock 'n Roller coaster ? No problem. That "kiddie rocket ride that spins in circles" ? Forget it ! ) :rotfl:
 
I'll agree that Sounds Dangerous isn't THAT bad. It's worth doing once. We've done it, so its on "the list"...

I think you're biased and there just for the Moosehead...:) Oh, and Martin Short.

There are only a few rides/attractions that I won't do. The Country Bear Jamboree and Stitch. I tolerate Stitch because my daughter loves Stitch but it is pretty bad. I don't think there are too many that really like that ride out there. The Aliens ride was probably better, but before I started going to WDW on a regular basis. Most of the rides and attractions are great no matter how many times I go they are fun to ride. I mean heck you're @ Disney.
