It takes a lot of people an hour, more so than any of the rides in Fantasyland. Yet I always see people on it, and most (if not all) boats are full. I guess everybody wants to ride it just like people like looking at car accidents. Small World could use a rehab, but it certainly is not the dreadful attraction that many report it to be.

Oh and I almost forgot...any Circlevision (China and Canada in Epcot)movie. They get me VERY sick.

Conservation Station is a pain in the butt to get to and not much there, at least not last year. Backstage Tour to me is like being trapped with no way out...
Originally Posted By meomi I haven't ridden tea cups since I was a child. I probably would never ride it again!

Now here's an interesting thing, as I got older I never went to the Hall of PResidents as child or as a teen and most of my twenties but now I like this attraction. I guess it shows that age does make a difference I would probably not have waited to go on the Land in Epcot, the old one. I took my husband on the newer version of this and maybe one more time but I wouldn't always seek it out. Also I guess they are redoing the Imagination pavillion, but I would not have gone back to Journey into the Imagination again. (the new one) I too dislike bodywars and decided to sit this one out on group visit of last year. I have done the animation thing once at MGM, pretty much may not ever do that again. I really like the display at DCA much better and probably would go to that everytime. Camp Mickey Minnie at DAK, I wouldn't do again unless I wanted to see the Festival of the Lion King again. I realize I was not the target market there.

MGM: Indy stunt show, Star Tours, Drew Carey sounds dangerous, Tower of Terror (yet again...the drop, but probably one of the best rides I've ever been on...I've been on it at least 10 times, but I never want to go.) AK: Conservation Station

DAK: Conservation Station and the Pocahontas Show. I'll admit I enjoy all the other attractions at DAK - some more than others. I guess, in the end, I really enjoy all the older campy Disney attractions that are TRUE Disney to me - like Spaceship Earth, Carousel of Progress, Living with the Land, American Adventure, Great Movie Ride, Mexico Boat Ride, Small World, Pirates (even WDW INFERIOR version). Alot of these are attractions that other can't stand.
Originally Posted By CastMemberWannabe How could someone not enjoy Spaceship Earth? I mean, that is probably one of the best attraction "shows" I've ever seen. It truly is sad that people in this day in age do not enjoy these classic attractions as much, but prefer the newer thrill rides like The Rockin' Roller Coaster and Test Track. I'm not saying that I do not enjoy these attractions, but I just miss the classic attractions like POTC. Does anyone agree with me? ~Kristen~
Originally Posted By rasvar I still like the old Walter Cronkite narration on Spaceship Earth. I was always waiting for him to sign off..."And thats the way it is." I did get a good chuckle when he did that in the animation attraction. Of course, I doubt a lot of folks under 30 know that line very well.

Originally Posted By CastMemberWannabe I must agree with you that Walter Cronkite was fantastic as the Spaceship Earth narrarator, even though I must admit that Jeremy Irons does a pretty fine job as well. And about the comment that jmuboy made about most people under 30 only enjoying the more thrilling rides, I must say that I must have an old spirit because I am only 15 and I definitely prefer the classic attractions over the thrill rides. ~Kristen~

Originally Posted By PrincessJasmine251 Magic Kingdom- Alien Encounter Dumbo- I luv Dumbo, but the lines are so long and it always seems to attractive every single foreign group while we're there.

Animal Kingdom- Kalli River Rapids- again another ride i love, but i don't like walking around wet... not fun. Epcot- China- long story-Shon Yu, bad guy in Mulan, was out and he was like stalking people. My dad took his picture while he wasn't paying attention. After he took the picture, he noticed and chased my sis, mom, and me out of the China Pavilon..... Only time we went in after that was to buy my sister one of those dalmation puppets... Living Seas- Just Boring after a couple of times.

Originally Posted By chipm This came up before in another topic.

I'd go for: Innoventions (Buy me!!) Anything at Animal Kingdom Disney Quest Grand Prix Raceway (?) Umm..can't think of any more right now.
Originally Posted By DC7800 I avoid the thrill rides which scare me half to death: Space and Splash Mountains, Tower of Terror, Rock n' Roller Coaster, and Dinosaur. The only non-thrill attractions I avoid are Backstage Pass (perhaps the least interesting attraction in WDW history, in my opinion), Astro Orbiter, Dumbo, and Alladin. I should point out I do like Dumbo - as an observer - in Fantasyland. I just have no desire to ride.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I hate to admit it, but certain attractions just aren't appealing anymore, at least to me.

Mad Tea Party, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, & Astro Orbiter - Just can't take the spinning anymore! DISNEY/MGM STUDIOS: Backstage Tram Tour needs a MAJOR overhaul. They really need to update this once promising attraction like Universal Hollywood does. And PLEASE give us a new attraction in the former Superstar Television worthy to watch!!! ANIMAL KINGDOM: Wild Life Express - This train looks great, just make it go somewhere interesting!!! (My wife would add Dinosaur, she HATED IT! Too Scary for her, she said. I LOVED it, though!) EPCOT: Universe of Energy - Ellen's Energy Adventure, NEVER AGAIN! What a waste of time! Living Seas is also getting old. After visiting Sea World, it just can't compare. I really miss Horizons, Journey into Imagination (original), and World of Motion; 3 of the greatest Disney dark rides ever removed!
