What Ride/Attraction Were You Excited For, But Ended Up Disappointed?

I may be in the minority on this one, but I was most disappointed by Beauty and the Beast-Live On Stage at DHS. It's not that it was bad...to me it was an unimaginative rehashing of the movie and I just didn't see the appeal. But, it still seems pretty popular, so I guess they're doing something right!

I will say a close second is, as many have already pointed out, Under the Sea. It's a good point and odd to think about, as some have mentioned, that the queue is actually better than the ride itself! Wow...

I never realized until I read it here that the ImageWorks area after Figment used to be so different. I'm sad I didn't experience what it used to be like.
 
For me I would say Illuminations is a big disappointment. I personally find it boring and I can never tell what is playing on the globe for half the show.

Also, not a big fan of the finding nemo show. I've seen it twice now and both times I remember wishing for the show to end soon. It was very long and did not hold my attention.

After going to Epcot regularly (at least once annually and in 2006-07 when I lived there bi-monthly) I finally saw Illuminations this July. I was glad I saw it but I'm not going to stay again and fight the crowds out. I am a rope dropper and when I leave a park for a day, that's it, I don't return. So 9 am until 9:30 pm is a real long day. In July I just went at noon.
 
IllumiNations, and It's Tough to Be a Bug. (Never again!) Dinosaur, too, although I'll go on it grudgingly.

Mostly there are rides I love, rides I can take or leave, and rides I expected not to enjoy that either I haven't actually ridden, or ones I didn't enjoy.

I was expecting Seas w/ Nemo & Friends to be horrific and it was worse than I expected. I've never ridden M:S or ToT and probably won't. I haven't done Stitch's Great Escape because I was so turned off by Alien Encounter.

I love Soarin' and Test Track and quite like TSMM and Under the Sea, assuming it's the same ride as at DCA.
