Everyone has their favorite rides - for me, it's Test Track, RnR, and Space Mt, in that order. However, I cannot ride simulators, ToT, or Splash Mountain. The simulators make me physically ill, and the "drop" rides give me the heebie jeebies. What rides do you avoid and why?
p.s. I'm looking forward to Soarin' next month - from what I've read on these boards, I'm guessing it will be added to my list of favorites.
 
Space Mountain I avoid. I will ride it. But to me it is too jerky and rough.
RnRC is more my type. :cool1: And I have been told that ride is not near as smooth as it was when it was new.
M:S I could take it or leave it. I rode it once, and not really in a big hurry for a return trip. Even the storyline leaves guests hanging. You crash on Mars and that's the end. :confused3
 
The Stitch ride at Tomorrowland.
I just found it boring and not worth the wait.
 
I avoid Space Mountain and Splash Mountain because, due to physical limitations it's hard for me to get in and out of the low ride vehicles. I was also avoiding Rock 'N Roller Coaster until earlier this month - when I discovered they have one 'limo' with a door that opens so you can step in and out instead of climbing over the door!

And, for waste-of-valuable-park-time factor, I have to agree with Torontogal. Stitch - been there, done that, ain't going back.
 

Tea Cups = spinning
Merry Go Round = spinning (I'd do it I had to for my DDs)
Dinosaur = too jerky
It's Tough to be a Bug = we just didn't enjoy it...bugs, yuck!

That's about it.
 
My mother has to avoid Mission Space, and actually, quite a few of my other friends and family have to as well. It just makes them sick...

I, on the other hand, think of it as good fun! One of my favorites actually.

I, personally, tend to avoid any kiddie rides with long lines, haha. Im a roller coaster/thrill fanatic. :goodvibes
 
Tea Cups - husband cannot contain himself and I end up with a headache.
Space Mtn - don't like the long walk (after a very long walk).
 
Space Mountain - it is just too rough for me. I have given it several tries, but I end up in pain for the rest of the day. Never again!!

TOT - just do not like drop rides like that.

Mission Space - have ridden it once, but needed a good hour to recover afterwards, chronic inner ear problems. Once was enough for me!!
 
"What rides do you avoid and why?"

Mission space.

a.) It's no fun passing out on a ride.
b.) It's no fun puking on a ride.
c.) I don't want to have to lay down for several hours to recover
 
it's a small world because 1/2 way throught the ride i am ready to jump out of the boat and walk just to escape that song

tom sawyer caves: way too many embarassing "crazy claustrophoic woman freaking out memories" and no desire to create new ones.. :rolleyes:

used to avoid the sky way since i was sure the car i was in would be the only one in history to fall from the cable... glad that is gone
 
Mission Space due to dizziness and motion sickness. Not going to ruin my whole day over this ride.

Indy cars due to slow loading process.
 
it's not a ride but we avoid Epcot, it jus does nothing for us.
 
I ABSOLUTELY HATE Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom. I don't know what it is, I just don't like it (I think because I don't know what is around the next corner). Also I never go into the Hall of Presidents...being Canadian is just does nothing for me. BUT I will go on everything else.
 
Mission Space, Star Tours, Body Wars are rides I will not ride. Mostion simulators make me very dizzy and usually give me horrible headaches.
 
Tea cups! I hate the spinning, but ironically I love Mission Space! I didn't know we were spinning there. Must be a mind trick thing for me!
 
MK: Space Mtn. - Too jerky

AK: Dinosaur - Too Jerky

Epcot: Body Wars - Made our whole family sick for the entire day
 
ToT- did it once-never agin. I don't like the dropping feel

Space Orbiter- what a waste of time- just a carnie ride only up high(glad we only waited 10 min for that one!

Mission Space-probably not again-I was bruised from that one

Splash Mount.-I ended up with a sore neck. I thing it was the way the ride was at the end of the big down.
 
I'll ride anything. Mission Space made me sick last time I rode it, but I don't care, I'll ride it anyway. Lol.
 
Simulator rides - too closed in for me
TOT - never been on but I hate dropping
Dinosaur - too jerky, rough
World of Energy at Epcot - does it really last 4 hours or was that my imagination?? DH loves it - he'll go on it by himself this year
