One and DONE

[johde]

I guess first I would say, there's nothing at WDW I wouldn't go on if I was with a group of people who wanted to go. As opposed to one and done, the attraction I like in "small measured doses"

Hall of Presidents - Once per administration is plenty

Mission Space - On my first trip, I talked myself into getting real sick (although fortunately didn't need the bags) from reading all the reports here on the DIS. My stomach was in knots before I even got to the ride. Took several hours to feel normal. I thought it was going to be my "one and done". But a couple of day later, was walking by it again late in the evening 8:45 or so. I figured I survived ones, the line was a walk on so no time to talk myself into getting sick. I handled it fairly well. It's now an I'll ride it on a good day ride. For me, like someone else mentioned we need a blue option. I love the takeoff and slingshot around the moon. Hyper-sleep is OK. It's the movements at the end with the crash landing that get me.

Universe of Energy- Dinosaurs are cool but the rest of it is too long. I do prefer the Jeopardy overlay to the original.

Dinosaur - It just too dark and Jerky to enjoy multiple times. Indiana Jones at DL is a whole different creature. The brighter scenery make a huge difference.

Most of the Movies in World Showcase are also an occasional attraction.

I plan to try ToT again because it's so spectacular, but I also wish it had a wimp just-drop-me-once option

I really prefer ToT before they changed it to be more than one long drop. The way they have it randomly drop a few times now seems like total overkill & you miss out on the whole affect of the big drop.

Primeval Whirl- I stood in the line for a few minutes once until I got closer to it to see exactly what it was & walked out of the line. Don't know if that counts...I guess it's a 1/4 & done for me.

Tea Cups- Even as a kid, I never enjoyed smaller motion type rides. It's a shame because Alice has always been one of my favorite characters & that movie one of my favorites. It would be nice to have another attraction for it instead of something that could be a carnival ride. At the same time, I couldn't imagine this ride not being where it always has been in the 'gray area' between Fantasyland & Tomorrowland. And the ride itself is really cute to look at.

Swiss Family Treehouse- Definitely a once and done. ITA w/others: this is too much exercise for a WDW vacation on top of the miles you walk in the parks each day, all day long.

Jungle Cruise- This just bores me. Especially after they opened AK & you get to see real animals on the KS, I have no interest to spend my MK time doing this one when there are so many other classics I really do enjoy like Tiki Room & CoP.

Hall of Presidents- Also boring. I thought the American Adventure in WS was better than this.

The TTA might be a good break to get off your feet but I've gone on it once years ago & never have been interested in it since. I can rest when I sit down to eat.

Nemo Show at AK- I saw it for the 1st time several months ago & thought it was good but nothing I'd sit down for that amount of time again.

Stitch. They could do so much more with that space. Love the movie, hate the experience.

 

[Satchmo128]

Definitely Mission Space, Captain EO, Stitch.

Rides/attractions I really dislike: Dinosaur, Tough to be a Bug, Rafiki's Planet Watch (though I bet it would be fun with kids).

 

[mullysisters]

I have once per trip and done. ToT just isn't terrible after the first time. The theming is great but not the one hour wait. Just not scary enough.
Soarin' is really cool the first time but, again, not worth the wait for me. Enjoyed it once per trip, that's it.
I waited 70 minutes for TSM and was disappointed. It is what I call an empty room ride. Just a big warehouse with painted panels. I ejnoyed the waiting"room" better than the ride, but not 70 minutes worth.
On the other hand-lol- I could go round on People Mover all day. Also love SE

 

[SamRoc]

Mission space. Went on it after the Biergarten Restaurant. HUGE mistake! lol I was green!

 

[ZephyrHawk]

Probably Summit Plummet. Neither DH nor I feel any pressing need to ever ride that thing again. I'm glad I did (for bragging rights), but once is enough.

 

[wallskm]

Another vote for stitch!

 

[Networth]

Lots of Mission Space hate in the thread lol. I don't know if it's physiology or perception of the ride but it seems like either you can ride it or you can't. I love the ride personally and wish it was longer(closest I'll ever get to ride a rocket) but fiancé hates it, brother loves it, father hates it, sister hates it, and my other sister loves it etc.

As for my one and done. The Speedway, Stitch, TOT, IASW until I bring someone new to WDW I refuse to rides those.

 

[Spacepest]

Stitch--its just stupid and the seats they strapped me in hurt my shoulders

Soaring--my home park is Disneyland in CA, this ride is identical (you fly over California landmarks but the ride is IN FLORIDA) and not worth the two plus hour waits that we saw everyday, I was mad I even wasted a fastpass on it.

Nemo Show at AK--it just goes to prove, not everything should be made into a musical...the songs and music were terrible. JUST KEEEEEEEEP SWWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMINNNNGGGGGGGG

Beauty and the Beast show--a 90 minute movie condensed into a 15 minute live action show with the characters in costume, not worth standing in line for. Even a character meet and greet is better than this.

Rafiki's Planet Watch--stop guilting me about the Earth and then try to make me pet some dirty goats.

Another vote for Stitch and also paddle wheel boat.

 

[YodaGirl]

- RNRC
- ToT (technically I rode it twice - once not long after it opened and I said never again, then once on DH's 1st trip. If the kids want to ride eventually, they're going with him.)
- Astro Orbiter (again, I rode it twice. Second time thinking it couldn't be as bad as I remembered. It was.)
- Soarin'

These are one and done IMO, but I'd ride them if the kids wanted to:
- Swiss Family Treehouse
- Magic Carpets
- Riverboat
- Stitch
- Living with the Land
- Maelstrom

 

[Ravenne]

The Great Movie Ride. We were disappointed and bored with it.

TSMM - like most people's response with Soarin' here, it was meh. I mean yeah, it was fun, but not worth the long waits. Especially since we have the console game for it at home, and it's not that much different other than you sit in a car which moves you through the different screens, the queue with massively long line.

 

[DontCallMeJunior]

Stitch, Astro Orbiter, Tommorowland Speedyway,

That Energy ride with Ellen DeGeneres. I honestly didn't even know it was still around. All I remember is it's bookended with an outdated overly long Jeopardy skit...and it's just completely ridiculous seeing a creepy Ellen animatronic in the same scene as giant dinosaurs. First and last time I rode it was the early 2000's.

Soarin'. It was cool to ride once. But I'm seriously just in front of an imax screen with some soft wind. Not worth a 90+ minute wait.

Fantasmic. A really nice show...but I'm not going to line up 3 days before it starts like some families do. It's a character parade with some water projections.

That "lights, motors, action" car stunt show at DHS.

Mickey's Philliharmagic. Big honkin' "Meh."

Animal Kingdom as a whole pretty much.

 

[scrappinam]

Captain EO(Honey I shrunk the audience was much better)

Astro Orbiter: the only ride at disney that I find difficult for a pooh-suited person

 

[whitney37354]

Space Mountain

 

[awalker1015]

Sadly I can't seem to take space mountain any longer. Feels like it rattles my brain and have a horrible headache afterwards. But I can ride rock n roller coaster a dozen times in a row and love it.

This. And I hate it. I've come to the conclusion that sitting that high up in the coaster is part of the problem. The second part is the turning 40 thing and equilibrium. . So love RNRC though!!

Haunted mansion, space mountian and stitch

 

[fadingjamie]

It's Tough to be a Bug... blech!
