It follows the recent Disney tradition of build a good queue with decent-to-great theming, and then building a barebones, uninteresting ride. For more examples, see Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids.

I consider both Tower of Terror and Haunted Mansion to be part of the show from the time you enter the building. Why do I not feel that way about Rockin' Roller Coaster? Not really sure. I really liked the Muppetts pre-show the first dozen times I saw it, but now it seems just as stale as the old Star Tours seemed.

The final product is a shell of what was originally planned for a mgm rock n roll coaster experience. Granted blue sky. Still no excuse for superficial final product/theme. 3rd most over-rated WDW attraction. My opinion

I like all the 70's touches... the Lava Lamps, vintage guitars, etc. I think they also do a very good job of integrating the film with the set. I think putting live action into the show with "Chris" getting the Les Paul for Joe Perry really added to it. I tried to figure out for years if he was part of the film or not. I finally decided that he was part of the film. Soon after I read that it was a live Disney Castmember.

Also the CM participating added another demension... Nice set up to one of the best indoor coasters in O-town.

Just because there are CMs or locals there ruining the show for the others doesn't make it a great preshow. <<one of the best indoor coasters in O-town.>> It's not hard to be one of the best of something when there's only 4 to begin with. Haha

Originally Posted By Bolna I find this a rather difficult question. I can come up with a handful of real favourites, but those are less than ten. And then there are a lot of attractions which I enjoy a lot, but it is very difficult to just pick a few out of them to fill up the ten. But when I approached the question asking myself which are the attractions which I would be really sad to miss when I am WDW, things became a bit clearer: 1. Tower of Terror 2. World Showcase (or if I only can have one pavilion: Japan) 3. Splash Mountain 4. Expedition Everest 5. Soarin 6. Illuminations 7. Wishes (or better: fireworks at the MK just in general) 8. Streetmosphere at DHS 9. Maharaja Jungle Trek 10. TTA
