Haven't rode Astro Orbiter attraction.The ques are always so long we've passed on trying it.Some day though I will que up and wait so I can experience it.So what attractions at MK or other parks have you not experienced even though you've been by them many times?Just last year we did Indy Speedway it was fun and glad we finally did it.I did feel a little guilty,I thought all the little one's waiting to go on it were saying whats that old geezer doing,this ride is for kids.Hey I'm just a big kid in old body.::yes:: :wave2:
 
I confess I have never ridden Astro Orbiter either, and I have been to MK at least 6 times! Indy Speedway, first time ever our last trip! I don't think it's for kids!! Believe it or not I have never ridden the boat to Tom Sawyer Island, actually I have never set foot on the island! Guess I'll have to go back to MK!
 
Astro Oribiter
Indy Speedway
Snow White's Scary Adventures
 
On my tenth trip to Disney World, I finally went on Dumbo! Every time I seen it before, the line was always huge! But on my tenth trip last January, I wandered by Dumbo right before closing, and the line was so short that I finally rode - it was very cute! I rode it again on MNSSHP last month, too! :)

We have only ridden Astro Orbiter once in four trips because of that very reason. Long lines.
 
I just rode Astro Orbiter for the first time this summer. DH went to Space Mountain when the park first opened, and DD and I rode Buzz twice and TTA and Astro once each during that time. No lines at all.

I was suprised at how fast Astro actually goes, and how much it is "banked" for lack of better terms. I was yelling at DD to put us down and she refused, laughing the entire time!

I have never seen the Tiki Room...
 
I've never done Cinderella's Carousel, and I don't really know why. I WILL go on it two weeks from now, though.

I've never done:

Indy Speedway
Astro Orbitor
Dumbo

I think they just never interested me very much.:wave:
 
Indy Speedway
Astro Orbiter
Dumbo
Tiki Room (since I can remember, anyway)
Liberty Belle

I'm really looking forward to doing the Tiki room this trip... we somehow just missed it last time!
 
I think we have finally done everything...lol

we only do AstroOrbitor at E-nights, and as the last ride b/c the line is always TOO long!
 
The only things DH and I have not done are Swiss Family Treehouse and The Shooting Arcade...

We will do these on our trip in December though as long as DH's knee feels up to the Tree...How hard is it to climb? Are there any places to rest his knee on the way up?
 
Astro Orbiter
Peter Pan
Indy Speedway
Dumbo (I rode it as a child, but not on any recent trips)

I'm hoping the crowds levels will be lower in December so I'll get a chance to try out some of these rides :)
 
Tea Cups
Merry Go Round
Indy Speedway
Dumbo
I rode Astro Orbiter just this last May. I had no idea it would incapacitate me so much. Once it started up I could not move at all in my seat. That centrifical force is really powerful.

astro orbiter, tea cups, tiki room, tom sawyer's island

We will be in WDW next week and might try tom sawyers. My 5 yo grandson wants to go on the astro orbiter and tea cups, but I don't do well on round and round rides. Aladdin's carpet is fine, but I worry I will get dizzy on astro and tea.

You can take your time -- there are plenty of places to move to the side and let others pass. I think there were a few benches higher up. We had a great view of the sun setting one time from the Treehouse.
 
This thread made me think a little. In the 40 or so visits to the Kingdom, I think the only thing I didn't get on was the Mike Finn Keel Boats. Sadly they are now beached. That is too bad.
 
In all the trips I have to WDw I have never done the astro orbiter, indy speedway or tom sawyers island at all

then there is the ride I have only done once and that I haven't been on in 30 yrs (Dumbo) I was last on that when I was 6.:eek: Way back on my first trip to WDW in August of 73!!
 
Last September, KarenNY and I were lucky to find Dumbo with NO wait, so we just had to ride ;)
 
As of May we had experienced everything except Timekeeper -because it's never open when we are there. Hopefully it will be open in January now that Alien Encounter is closed.

Of course now there's also Mission Space (which may make me sick, but I'm going to try it sometime) and Mickey's Philharmagic. Yay!

I think I took my kids on most of the Fantasy Land rides when they were little, including Astro Orbiter, Tea cups, etc. Whoops, I just remembered - I haven't been on the Magic Carpets in Adventureland. Darn.

Always one more thing to see/do!
 
I was just thinking of this the other day! We returned on 10/31 from a glorious 8 days and I feel like I missed so much, but we are now DVC members so we WILL be going back - but not until Dec 04!

The MK has never been my favorite park so we only spent one night there for MNSSHP but we rode a lot of rides with NO lines!

First time on last trip:
Snow White's Scary Adventure
Peter Pan (surprisingly cool!)
Splash Mountain (I'm a log flume wimp)

Never done:
Tiki Room
Dumbo
It's a Small World
Indy Speedway
Aladdins Carpet Ride
Cinderella's Carousel
Oh my gosh! That list is too long! And I think there's more!

WE HAVE TO GO BACK *NOW*!
