It was a badly conceived idea from the beginning.

I nearly had a panic attack the first time I tried it.

Just rode it again a few days ago and honestly, I don't understand the problem. A fun story, great inside effects and a great dramatic ending, why all the hate? I do like the fact that you can ride it anytime after 7, its always only 10 minutes wait. Great for us that love it, sort of like Sinbad .

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hey TDR_Fan, sorry so late with my response, but I guess I would have to say either Sinbad or Indy.

Least favorite is Aquatopia and Raging Spirits (but I ALWAYS ride RS lol and it grows on me more I ride it ).

Journey to the Center of the Earth doesn't feel any shorter to me than Indiana Jones Adventure. If I remember correctly, they are both around 3 minutes long. Raging Spirits is also growing on me, especially after they made it a bit smoother last year. While not as impressive an attraction as some of the other E-ticket attractions, it sure is beautiful.
Originally Posted By Mr X I wouldn't call Spirits an "e-ticket" at all ("D" at best). As for beautiful, I assume you're only taking about the neat looking entrance (with the fire on water effect)? Other than that, it just looks like an off the shelf mouse coaster with a loop to me (similar to one I rode decades ago at Busch Gardens). I haven't ever clocked Journey vs. Indy...but if they seem the same to you, that's great but I don't feel THAT way...Indy always seems long and exciting, but maybe that's because Indy is bumpy and fun all the way around, where Journey is rather slow til the end (somehow, that makes it feel shorter to me).

Originally Posted By TDR_Fan ^ That makes sense, though I've never felt that way. As for Raging Spirits, I was indeed talking about the entrance with the waterfall staircase and fire. I wouldn't call it E-ticket, but somewhere between that and a D-ticket. D-plus or E-minus if you will. I think it's an improvement over the Indiana Jones coaster at Disneyland Paris. And the only part that resembles a wild mouse coaster is the shape of it. The track and vehicles are completely different.

Indy starts out action packed and moving right out of the gate where as JTTCOTE starts up okay, but the buildup takes too long considering when you really start to get into it, the ride is over already . Indy just feels more complete and why its slightly better in my 'favorite' dept. But Journey is a fantastic ride and certainly well detailed with that climax at the end. But, it needs to be about a minute longer for me or a little more action to my favorite .
Originally Posted By TDR_Fan Both are very close in my opinion. For a while, Indiana Jones Adventure was my favorite attraction. Then it was Journey to the Center of the Earth. It has continued in this pattern for a while now. While I do like the fast-paced nature of the Indiana Jones Adventures, I also like the slower pace of Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I also find that Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea are packed with more detail in their sets and show scenes. Overall, I find Journey to the Center of the Earth more thrilling. That final drop really gives you a lot of airtime surprisingly. More so than Splash Mountain's final drop, probably due to the acceleration prior to it. I read that the vehicles reach a maximum speed of 47 miles per hour during the launch.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I meant.. many "parents", not "adults". Way two different things! Many parents go there to take their kids to it. Most adults go there to enjoy the place sans brats, which is the way to enjoy WDW. There is no "poll" on this.. it's just TDLFAN's assessment.

I still am not sure I agree (I think lots of parents enjoy visiting the place, with kids or not), but I'm sorry that I misquoted you. I hope you'll accept my apology, I should not have misquoted you that way!
