rubbish rides?

[Happy Hammer]

What disney/universal rides would you be glad to see the back of?and why?

[richieboy07]

Stichs escape

Boring or what !!!!

[Sue]

At Universal - Back to the Future, it nearly ruined my holiday one year by aggravating an old whiplash injury! I go on every ride, including coasters - this was the only one that caused me actual pain - never again. And IMHO it is seriously dated.
I really loathe IASW, but know that many love it and it is one of the few original Walt Disney rides left, so would not ask for that to be closed, even if those dolls are possessed:pgig:

[Chelle27]

Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot! Snooozzzzzzzeville!!

[Happyshopper]

Back to the future DEFO! My neck was sore for days!

[Princess Mizzy]

In IOA it would have to be Hulk, just looking at the thing makes me Ill!!!

[buffy]

Stitch's Great Escape! the kids were terrified and for what? Nothing! What a waste of money IMO.

Snap, had to lie down after the BTTFR ride and didn't enjoy IASW last time I went on.

[mcknigma]

scrap back to the future - nearly made me sick - very unimpressed with it

[Lana]

Stitch!!! What a waste of money that was!!! And we waited til late at night to use our fastpass - the only good thing about going on Stitch is learning that you will never have to go on again.

Peter Pan - another wasted faspass!!

IASW - my daughter is afraid of talking dolls and it was fun to watch a 16yr old freak out as we went through it, after all there is no escape once you are on is there:pgig: :pgig:

Well served her right for moaning all the time:blush:

spaceship earth - :zzz: :zzz:

[MichelleP1]

All simulators - they make me throw up! Oh and Stitch was crap too! On our first visit last year there was a 90 min wait for it and no fast passes, we decided to give it a miss and we rode it on our second visit. If I had waited 90 mins for that load of rubbish I wouldn't have been happy!

[Sire_bobbie]

O Canada, made me want to be sick, too much 360

[deano1212]

O Canada, made me want to be sick, too much 360

Not realy a ride is it?

[frances01]

I agree - Back to the Future. Also Stitch's Great Escape. The ride it replaced was brilliant - a great thrill but Stitch does nothing for me.

[alisonjones]

Twister - the most disappointing ride i have queued for.

[SusieK]

Ellen's energy and Carousel of Progress - Boring!

[rafiki]

I agree with the above Dibbers, BTTF is now very dated. It is time for an update/replacement.

At MGM star wars also falls into this category.

I've not been on Stitch (and am unlikely to based on the comments I've seen). I enjoyed AE but can appreciate that it didn't really fit with the theming of the Magic Kingdom.

[br196]

I agree that Twister has a big build up with no pay off. The first time I saw it I thought we were still in the "hidden queue". What a disappointment to find that it was all over.

[Paul R]

Yes back to the future for me as well, very painful!:( But I did also break a rib on Thunder Mountain but I still love that.:grin:
I think that the unicorn ride at IoA should be ditched as well boring.

[Nikki'Andrew]

Its a small world, my DH and I toss a coin to see who has to take the DS's on it. Also Stitch, my DS 8 thought it was the best thing ever, so we did it 3 times in 1 day........6 months on he still says its the best ride at MK!!!!!!

[ClaireB]

Got to agree with the majority about BTTF, its jolty and bangs you around and likewise aggrivated an old whiplash on me. Also ET is dated

Claire

[Tinker and Hook]

Ellens energy ride - the only benefit is that you can rest our weary feet for half an hour.
DH dislikes the possessed dolls at its a small world. He'd hoped it had closed forever when it was closed on our last visit. He is very disappointed its reopened and is already is trying tell the kids its not worth going on.:omg:

[gala]

ET - the worst ride in the universe. Oh dear, I am so glad that Ive only done it once. I agree about the simulators. I still havent done IASW so I'll pass judgement on that in August!

Margaret

[FloridaBound]

Back to the Future seems to be an aggressive ride for the sake of being aggressive - it just hurts, which is not really the point. Get over to Universal and get on Jimmy Neutron to see how they could do it so much better (and funnier!).

Don't like Mission:Space, but I could be in the minority for this - take it or leave it, to be honest. Test Track was possibly the most disappointing ride for being let down after a very long queue, and Men In Black has never worked when I've got to the end of the queue anyway!

[jdybnsn]

The Stitch ride....just what are the shoulder restraints for exactly ?

- are they to stop you leaving early, or just to maintain you in an upright position if you dose off ?????


On the subject of IASW ... on his first trip to WDW my Welsh DP was consumed with :mad2: to think the Welsh had been omitted from the huge cast of world dolls on the ride .........luckily I managed to spot the Welsh doll hanging off something high in the roof, this time round, but I've had 2 years of welsh :angry: in between.
But happy to say a diplomatic incident has now been avoided, as the threat of setting fire to the Castle has since been withdrawn.........:blush:

LOL, well that's saved us some time.......unless I'm feeling tired from the heat and need an afternoon kip :zzz:

[Cinders Mum]

BTTF/Star Tours both need a major overhaul.

IASW demon dolls from hell, I used to have to cut deals with DD to go on it .... "I'll go on Splash mum if you come on IASW with me" now I have her trained really well and she hates those mutants as much as I do. Original or not there is no sane reason for their existence .... hmmmmmm Lana wonder if any of them wear crocs??? ;)

[Gully]

Definately Stitches Great Escape. Also Earthquake is starting to lose it's originality, a bit dated. :(

LOL mutants !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For me MIB thought that was dissapointing. Sad to see that Xtra terrestrial has gone especially as you all say that the stitch ride that replaces it is poor.

[Cinders Mum]

Tanya

Stitch is a bit of fun but pretty lame when compared to the wetting your pants alien it replaced.

[KAY-Partyof5]

Ellen's energy and Carousel of Progress - Boring!
As above!!!
How can anyone say IASW is rubbish, come on its Disney, THE CHEESIER THE BETTER so we say:pgig: (as we all humming the tune!! LOL)

[Scotsmomma]

Definately Stitches Great Escape. Also Earthquake is starting to lose it's originality, a bit dated. :(

Same for me Steve....I'll never go back on Stitch...complete waste of time...and I've missed Earthquake out the last few trips....I reckon US would have been better off getting rid of Earthquake instead of Kong

[trekkie]

I was disapointed with Stitchs Great Escape and Twister.

[ursula]

Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot! Snooozzzzzzzeville!!


I LOVE this ride. We went on it twice or was it three times while we were there in February!!!! :d: :d:

[Karen Mouse]

Carousel of Progress - Boring!

:nonono: :nonono: One of my favourites. Sing the tune all holiday!:pgig:

[Friday'sChild]

Mission Space........ I hated it :blush:

:nonono: :nonono: One of my favourites. Sing the tune all holiday!:pgig:

Thanks for reminding me Karen! I read your post an hour ago and haven't been able to get that tune out of my head since.

[_tinkerbell_]

Tiki room and Small World, sorry to all you fans but they bore the life out us, inc my kids. They never like them, even as 3 year olds.

Norway film after the ride - what a waste of ten mins, do the ride and then escape through the door. You will get some funny looks off people but when they have finished watching the film they will know why you ran ! !

Swiss Family Treehouse, i was really ecited about this when i first done it but its boring. Think they need some interaction there somewhere. Have Dole Whip from the stand outside when the rest of your party want to walk through it.

Agree Twister is a long queue for a disappointing expereince.

[Scarlett's_mum]

Yep I have to agree Stich is beyond boring. We queued for ages back in October 2004 when there was a test ride before the official opening - what an anti climax.

I didn't have my head straight back in the seat, so I missed out on some of the "tricks". It's more like a pre ride show than a decent ride.

I was also very disappointed with Poseidon's Fury - what a waste of time :zzz:

[twinklebelle]

Same for me Steve....I'll never go back on Stitch...complete waste of time...and I've missed Earthquake out the last few trips....I reckon US would have been better off getting rid of Earthquake instead of Kong


Is the Kong ride gone :confused2 that's just not good btw i've not been to Florida in 6 years so I may be a bit behind

[Vabeth]

We thought Poseidens Fury was a complete waste of time - we were wandering through waiting for something to happen - and in our opinion it never did!:( Back to the Future was also a big disappointment! Jimmy Nuetron is soooo much better!:grin: And i'm sorry to say i'm a big fan of IASM - it just wouldn't be Disney without it!:spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

[kirstielou]

Twister & ET

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Scotsmomma]

Is the Kong ride gone :confused2 that's just not good btw i've not been to Florida in 6 years so I may be a bit behind


Yes King Kongs left the building....been replaced by the Mummy...which is a great ride

[kevbrydon]

Men In Black!!!:mad2: not sure if it should be actually scrapped but it was a big dissapointment when we first rode it..we were there the year before it was built and they were going on about how fantastic it would be e.t.c:grin: . and when it opened the following year :mad2: " WHAT A BIG DISSAPOINTMENT" :mad2: epecially compared to the blockbuster movie!! Yep, SCRAP IT:mad2: !!! or make it a lot better..:d:


KEV

[Amyrlin]

Its a small world... My OH has not forgiven me for taking him on that ride 6 months ago, he hears the song and says it stays with him for days!

I quite like the Ellen ride, it was a nice cool sit down on a hot day, but, that was what we used it for :)

[jeremy]

I didn,t like the submarine ride at Disney,thank goodness it,s gone.

[loopydiamond]

is dumbo the flying elephants at MK... always a huge queue for this ride and i just dont know why???
:tounge:
Jules

[twinklebelle]

^

probably because little kids see it and think that it looks like a good idea, so force their parents to queue for hours, I've been told that as a 4 year old I insisted on going on the ride, and mum had to queue with me for the best part of an hour

[robitay]

Its a Small World :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

[florifan]

Ellen's energy and Carousel of Progress - Boring!


no way! I love carousel of progress, part of the holiday:angry: :angry:

[florifan]

Thanks for reminding me Karen! I read your post an hour ago and haven't been able to get that tune out of my head since.


I agree - it;s a great big beautiful tomorrow!!!:d: :d: :d: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:

[florifan]

My DH and DS still haven't forgiven me for making them go on The great movie ride in MGM, are you listening, you know who are!!!!

:d: :d:

[Pebblesuk]

Astro orbiter makes dw feel dizzy round and round we go after a very long wait
and a very cramped lift :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

[TyphoonTilly]

I love 'Carousel of progress' and loved it when it was 'carousel of life' many years ago - same sets but different song.

I say DITCH STITCH - the most boooring ride EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[yatomi]

Its tough to be a bug....*shudders* Id stay outside if I could but my dad dragged me in last year, anyway I sat with my eyes closed for half of it...

Oh and pirates of the caribbean ride...I dont like it, far too dark, half the time i cant even see when walking to find the boats

[mushyp]

is dumbo the flying elephants at MK... always a huge queue for this ride and i just dont know why???
:tounge:
Jules


i love dumbo
