Have you ever taken a ride at any of the parks in WDW that you have no desire to go on again? I'm talking here about actual "rides" as opposed to other attractions (ie. Stitch) which I think of as more of a "show" than a "ride".

With me it's Space Mountain. I went on with the family back in '99 and I still have absolutely no desire to go on it again. I was really hoping to like it, but it was just not enjoyable enough to me to be bothered going on it again. On the plus side I know I'll never need to ever schedule a FP+ for it.

I've read other accounts on the boards in the past about Mission: Space, and I confess that I've not attempted to go on that ride.

Anyone else ever ride something at WDW that they just have no desire to go on again?
 
Nope. I think I'd be willing to ride everything again. The only ride I've ever been "one and done" for is Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. Never again. Not worth it.
 

YES. Got SO sick on Mission Space - really should have heeded the motion sickness warnings. And was terrified in both Dinosaur & Tough to be a Bug. Seriously. I'm still embarrassed by the thought that somewhere, someone has a picture of their family enjoying Dinosaur with me in it, face buried in my husband, sobbing. Oh yes - terrifying to me as AN ADULT. When we go back next year DH & my kiddo can go...I'll be finding someplace quiet for a cup of coffee...
 
Mission Space is mine. I've done it 3 times. The last time left me not feeling very well and I figure it's just not worth it. I can handle about any thrill ride you put me on. I go to Valley Fair in MN on slow days and literally ride coasters all day long with the only breaks being lunch and the time it takes to walk from one to another. Mission Space is not my friend.

Another might be the 3 Cabelleros Ride (not sure the name of it) in the Mexico pavillion in Epcot. I liked the romantic feel of its predecessor (El Rio del Tiempo) but could not stand them adding Donald and company in that ride making it obnoxious instead of relaxing. Only road it once. Kids may enjoy it, as well as those who never experienced it without them. But I feel like they ruined the atmosphere of the ride.
 
Dinosaur. Didn't hate it or anything. Just didn't love it, either. I'd go on it again if someone I was with wanted to, but if I'm making the plans for the day, that one won't make the list.
 
As others have said, Orange side of Mission Space. I don't think I could be convinced to go again, I really felt terrible both during and after it. I didn't want to go on in the first place!

Sometimes images of crying look like laughter. Maybe they'll think you're having the time of your life!!!

Orange Mission Space. I have never been motion sick in my life before or since my encounter with this ride. I felt sick all day. Not an enjoyable park day. They didn't have a green ride back then, but I still won't try it. I am still mad at that ride!
 
Small World, hands down. Never had a problem with Mission Space but wifey can't take either side, she waits outside while I ride.

Great Movie Ride. Admittedly, I've been on it more than once, but unless and until they update it, it's a relic.

I've been on Peter Pan's Flight exactly once, and although I'm not ruling it out, the only way I could see myself getting on it ever again is if I had done literally everything else I wanted to in MK and there was a wait time of zero minutes.
 
Mission Space......I have ridden several times. One side too intense, other side not enough
teacups
Space Mt.....WDW, DL is fine. WDW's is too rough
Astro Orbiter
Star Tours....:sick:
 
Kali River Rapids. No need to be drenched by a giant wall of water ever again, tyvm. Also, Mission:Space -- green side (won't set foot on orange side, ever). I was surprised at how much motion there was, even on the green side, and it did still make me feel a little off. I don't need to do it again.
 
TOT. I rode it many times in my "younger" days, but then I went on it after my son was born (he was a baby he didn't go on) and I walked off knowing that it would be the last time I ever rode it.

And Kali is a NEVER DO for me. It looks really fun, but I don't want to get that wet. If it were at a water park, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but not for me in the middle of AK.

Star Tours is a once per trip for me and done. I'd love to be able to ride it over and over but my body can't take it (I've frequently been told by other guests and CM's that I am very green when I exit).
 
Probably Space. Ridden it on every trip but the last trip it was too bumpy for me.
I get motion sickness also.
