So if you didn't like this one brotherdave, you are soooo lucky you didn't see the original.

Originally Posted By Jack Skellington Personally, I can't stand Ellen, so the idea of seeing her in the ride makes me avoid it. I PERSONALLY think it should be Steve Irwin's Energy Adventure! watch the Croc Hunter fighting all the Dinosaurs! You wouldn't even really have to change the animatronic fugre much. Just throw some Khakis on her!

Now, the humor in it keeps me interested, not just Ellen, but Bill Nye has a upbeat voice that maked everything he says sound intriguing. And, unlike the original, I actually walked out of the attraction feeling as though i learned something!!!!

The new show presents mostly the same infor on Enenrgy in a much more entertaining fashion. To me the same thing can be said for Circle of Life at the Land. Symbiosis was a beautiful looking film, but I think I fell asleep the 1st time I saw it. The using the entertaining charatcers, and re-editing most the of original Symbiosis film, you get the same message but don't sleep through it.

I like Test Track and Universe of Energy I avoid at all costs: Dumbo ( unless we are at rope drop-- way too long a wait and no little kids in our group any more Mission: Space - just don't enjoy Backlot Tour - this is a recent addition to my list because it is just so sad now-- I used to love it I am still pretty much a sucker for other rides-- even if some need updating / or aren't that great - I know PotC is better in DL - but I don't get there anywhere near as often - so I overlook it......I still enjoy the Enchanted Tiki Room a lot ( I know I am in the minority on this ) - Jungle Cruise needs some updated AA's - but it is still JC and I will ride no matter what...etc.....

Originally Posted By Chelledun I second Country Bear Jamboree, also Mission Space makes me sick and so does Primeval Whirl . I'm not good with the spinning rides.
Originally Posted By mickey_ring Never went on Alien Encounter, so that's the one I've avoided as the topic title suggests. Tower of Terror is a once-and-done.

As a kid, it was Space Mountain. Didn't know what was in there, but no way did I want to find out.

Originally Posted By EpcotRules >>>Avoided the Drew Carrey sound show until our most recent trip. I ended up liking it!<<< Me too! I really like the originality of the concept. However, on my last visit there was a child in the audience that started to scream the minute the lights went out and screamed continuiously throughout the program. All that, in spite of several warnings that it was going to be in complete darkness. A CM went over with a flashlight and asked the people to take the child out but they refused so the whole theater missed almost the entire show. No class at all!

No class at all!<, curious -- when they left did they place the child in a nice 'double-wide' stroller ? ( had to ask )

Animal Kingdom: Primeval Whirl and whole Dino Fair area in general...although I do like Dinosaur/Countdown to Extinction. Studios - Star Tours.
