Originally Posted By Dabob2 Me either. Apparently, the Francis ride is fun enough for adults, and some say Flik's Flyers, too. Opinion is widely mixed on Chew Chew. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that Tuck n' Roll is ultra-lame, even for kids. Bumper cars turned into "barely tap the other guy" cars.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I've been on all the rides. Tuck-n-Roll is truly lame but the kids in my family still love it. On adults-only trips, the land is either skipped or we have to be feeling pretty silly. With kids - we can spend an hour or longer in there. I personally love the flying food cartons. ;>
Originally Posted By LadyKluck I don't even want to mention how many endless hours we spent in Bug's Land this last trip. The joys of travelling with 2 4 year olds & a 3 year old!! LOL! Both of my kids STILL talk about the Chew Chew Train! We were there in April.

Seriously of all the attractions they could rave about it's generally pirates, Peter pan's flight, Fantasmic! and Heimlich's Chew Chew Train... I wish I was joking..
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance lol It's okay EmmaJayne. We all have skeletons in our family closets.
Originally Posted By crazycroc I've said it before and I'll say it again. Heimlich is a must ride due to the narration. Some of the most brilliant attraction descriptions ever exist on that ride. It is almost you are given a descriptive sound system for those who are visually impaired. Heimlich is AWESOMELY odd!

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I guess I have to ride it once now, to say I've done it. But only on a really slow day. It looks like it's over practically before it starts.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 The narration is very cute and cracks up the kids in my family every time. Dabob2 just go ride it late at night when no one is around and there's no line.
Originally Posted By tashajilek I totally have to ride again. Heimlick is an awesome charcater! I loved it when he would eat the Candy corn at Halloween.
Originally Posted By CDF1 Old guys two cents worth on Matterhorn - it was the first coaster of its kind and its still a good ride on the order of Big Thunder Mountain where the whole family can ride together. Its really a tribute to Disney that they do the yearly maintenance to keep the old girl running all these years - and lets hope things stay that way. Its one of the few Disneyland attractions that hasn't been cloned elsewhere so lets let DL park keep it as a tribute to Walt who had such a big part in bringing it to life.
