The only possible exception is Motors Action, or if you consider Philharmagic an e-ticket. I suppose the safari is family friendly, but that's not many. No doubt EE is cool, but that made for at least an hour where the little ones and nana did not ride with us. I'm not anti thrill, but when you list all the thrill quality vs non thrill quality, thrill has been leading the charge.

But yes, I do agree that the thrill side has been top-heavy...really since they came up with Tower of Terror I think. How I wish they would come out with something akin to Tokyo's Pooh ride or Sindbad someplace else!

Not sure I consider the stuntshow one either. I don't know why, but I prefer the DLP version. I would prefer to see attractions more like Pirates or the Safari - high quality, nearly everyone can ride.
Originally Posted By finallygoing I think Disney has forgotten how to build non-thrill rides that appeal to adults, like Pirates. That new Nemo ride in Epcot was boring ...even my kids thought so.

I don't think it matters if the ride is a thrill ride per say, I just think they should continue to build attractions with the quality of pirates. I think they did a great job with everest and from what I saw of TSM so far, I thinks its gonna be right up there.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Looking back, it appears that the last full blown, non-thrill ride, E-Ticket dark ride to be added to WDW was The Great Movie Ride in 1989. Since then, the E-Ticket dark ride attactions that followed were: Splash Mountain Tower of Terror Rock n' Roller Coaster Test Track Dinosaur Plus, we got some other non-dark ride E-Tickets like: Kilamanjaro Safaris Mission Space Expedition Everest And a few 'D' Ticket redo's or new attractions like: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Journey Into Imagination redo's (personally I feel this was downgraded from the E-Ticket it was) The Seas With Nemo and Friends Gran Fiesta Tour and soon to open, Toy Story Mania. WDW desperately needs a new grand and glorious E-Ticket dark ride (without the thrill ride element) in the vein of the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World, 20,000 Leagues, Spaceship Earth, Horizons, World of Motion, Universe of Energy, Journey Into Imagination, and the Great Movie Ride!
