I don't like it and I really don't think it belongs in the Magic Kingdom, but I will do it everyone now and then - perhaps to remind myself The Great Movie ride. It's a nice concept, it's sometimes fun, but mostly it's just boring. And, of course, Small World. And I'm just plain scared of the Rocket Jets. I think that's it for me. Everything in Epcot and Animal Kingdom I pretty much like. Anyone else??? Doobie.

Figment Lives!) D/MGM: Fantasmic (DL does it so much better, it's not worth the long wait.) MK: Speedway. It's never really worked for me; Autopia is far nicer.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I avoid most of the attractions mentioned above: Alien Encounter is just plain dumb (Kathy Najimi in alien getup is scary enough!!), Test Track (yes!! this ride is still under testing), the train ride to Rafiki's Planet Watch (where you see why this "theme" park is really a glorified zoo) and Rock and Roller Coaster feat. Aerosmith (Disco-Coaster feat. Donna Summer would have been more enjoyable and colorful...), last but certainly not least, the WDW monorail system, where you are held prisoner while you stand waiting for further traffic clearance EVERY time you ride it. Those are my "must avoid" rides!!
Originally Posted By wtg2000 I'm glad it's not just me who dislikes the monorails anymore. They used to be fun way, way back. Well, I don't do most of the stuff in Fantasyland, or Tiki Birds, or Hall of Presidents. I did them once 15 years ago. EPCOT - I saw the Making of Me once. That was enough. Of course, JIYI was on the list until they shut it down. AK - I have no desire to ever see Legend of the Lion King again. STUDIO - The Backstage tour is pretty much a pass. It used to be fun, again, long ago. Also, as much as I like Indy Stunt Show, I agree with the person who said that it takes a long time to get to the point. It was a strange way to design a show - what with having to move those gigantic sets out of the way. Last time I saw it they cut half the Cairo scene out so the show was mostly moving stuff. I don't how many people saw the New York Street show during the main stage rehab, but I think I liked it just as much. It was corny, but it was continuous.

Originally Posted By lesherb Poor me, I cannot go on anything remotely fast or involving height. I just tried the Aladdin ride and had a panic attack (well, almost).

There is so much more there to entertain but thrill rides. I envy all of you your adventures on the rides. So now you can figure out what I walk past no matter what. Please tell me I am not the only one!

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost I don't see it as a complaint so much as it is a group of us that hate to see our old favorites replaced by the spin and puke rides. Thenurmis, if I understood you, you haven't ever been. You won't believe what you have missed already and will never see because it is being replaced. I'm so fortunite to have gone over a span of 20 years. I remember some of the ones you will never see. They were what made me go back, but don't get us wrong we still love the place and there are so many wonderful things to do and see that it is staggering. We just miss our old favorites. However, some of the ones that have been listed on this board have been around a long time. Go figure! Leave the one's we don't like, get rid of the good ones.
Originally Posted By grinchy After simply loving both rides at DL, I just could not again go on Pirates or Small World. They are just sooo much better at DL. However, if we could ever afford to go to WDW again, I would not say that I would miss anything else. that place is a wonder.

Originally Posted By rasvar Attractions I avoid? Really only one; Journey into your imagination. Worst rehab in the history of Disney. I don't ride Dumbo; but, I would if I had a kid.

Originally Posted By Dlmusic There are no attraction I specificially avoid at WDW besides Alien Encounter. Well I also don't do Tower of Terror or Splash Mountain, but that's just because of the drops, not because of poor design.
