Good Evening Everyone,

In lieu of being able to sleep this evening, I was thinking of some rides and attractions that I enjoy that probably won't make anyone's top 5 list of favorites. They're not bad rides but they're not blockbusters either.

So I was wondering what are the attractions that you all feel are the most underrated. This can be a ride or a show, or anything you like. Just something you really enjoy but does not get a whole lot of love when the "favorites" threads are written.

What a great subject to discuss :clappy:

I personally love the great movie ride but it never really makes it onto the "top" list.

Some of my other faves that often miss out are -
TTA
Carousel of Progress
Lights Motors Action
Astro Orbiters

The Boat ride at the Land - brain cramp can not remember its name


The ride is called "Living with the Land" and its one of my personal favorites too...

For me though mine would have to be:
TTA
Primeval Whirl
The monorail trip from the TTC to Epcot
The Hall of Presidents
The "Grand Circle Tour" on the Walt Disney World Railroad

1-Living with the Land
2-Carousel of Progress
3-monorail rides
4-TTA
5-Great Movie ride (nobody ever puts that in their top favorites?)

Hmm.....notice how these are all slow rides? A SO unlike my thrill seeker self.

I still like the Jungle Cruise. It's one of Walt's "oldies" - he struggled with it lots before he got it how he wanted it.:mickey:

Howe true, I even forgot it when making my list and I love it even though one of the birds hit my head as if returned to the stage last time I was there

There are so many things that are left off the favorite lists. I love the Carousel of Progress. It is a must. I love to drive DH crazy singing that song all year round! :haha: I also have to agree with the Great Movie Ride. I especially love the Wizard of Oz section. Dinosaur doesn't seem to be on the fave list often either. I love that ride. Shakes your guts out, but hey, it's fun!

Peter Pan
Primieval Whirl
Tiki Room

It used to be Dreamflight, before it was closed and Buzz took over.... now... and since so many have said TTA... I'll have to go with the Winnie the Pooh ride in MK. Its pretty nice actually. I'm 28 and have a group of similarly aged disneyfanaticfriends, and we all love it when we "bounce" during that ride.

I love Peter Pan. I know the lines are long but only because it is so slow loading.
I think the charm of this ride is very underrated. Ditto for CoP and Muppets.

-Impressions du France
-TTA
-Walt Disney World Railroad
-Living With the Land
-It's a Small World
-Cranium Command (Yes, it's probably gone for good. It may not have been considered a headliner, but it was so much fun.)
-Any Disney fountain that would produce wet guest on a hot, summer day.

All fun and perhaps underrated.

Over at AK is Flights of Wonder. I don't miss it when I go, but apparently nearly everybody else does.

I like this one too. When we visited last month it had a full - almost packed - house. Other favorites:

TTA, MK Railroad, Barnstromer, COP, listening to the fife and drum group in Liberty Square, Astro Orbiter (or as we called it back in the day - jet stars), jungle cruise, Tea Cups, primevil whirl, Little mermaid (MGM), impressions of France, I better quit while I am ahead - I know I am leving out too much as it is :mickey:

Call me crazy... But I really like that Circle of Life film in the Land. It sends a VERY important message and offers for of the most amazing wildlife shots... and with the music, I just find it very moving! I always drive my wife nuts and make her see it with me everytime we go.
