Besides Stitch's great escape..biggest ride disappointment

[Bruegge]

Fire away,

It's been 7 years and I don't want to stand in line for the "dog" of a ride

Thanks

The Figment ride at Epcot was a big disappointment to me

[Bruegge]

Yep, I agree.. 7 years ago we wondered why no one was in line... we said "it cant be THAT bad... "

we were wrong

Jungle Cruise is my ride disappointment. Do we really need fake animals when we have real ones down the street?

I actually like Jungle Cruise for the nostalgia factor. It was closed when I was there in the fall, so I'm hoping a refurb helps.

[Scallywag]

Figment for sure. I also wish they could do something else with the first part of Ellens Energy Adventure. I always want to skip the movie and get right to the dinosaur part.

We were very disappointed with The Legend of Capt Jack Sparrow at DHS. You enter a room and stand there and listen to Capt Jack give a monologue. Wasn't worth the 45 minute wait IMO.

[MrPeetrie]

JIYI. Wow, what a waste of a refurb.

Also, Expedition: Everest. Now, I don't mean it's a bad ride. On the contrary, it's one of our favorites. I just had it hyped up in my head too much for it to live up to expectations.

I had watched the TV shows on Making A Thrill Ride about it. I watched YouTube video ride-throughs before I had arrived so I missed out on being "surprised" the first time I rode it. (Big mistake. I won't do that for Seven Dwarfs.) I already knew it went backwards. I couldn't wait to see the magnificent audio-animatronic Yeti, but he was already in disco mode the first time I rode it.

It's a good ride, but I was very underwhelmed the first time I rode it.

I could pick off the low hanging fruit like Journey Into Your (lack of) Imagination, but I think I'll go Spaceship Earth. I was very excited to see what they did with it and IMO it was a big dud. I don't like the new narration, the new ending is awful ... just totally unhappy with the way it turned out.

Honorable mention to Space Mountain. We thought we were getting the Disneyland version and when we found out it had been close for 18 months so we could get ... well ... the Disney World version again I was very disappointed.

To me (and I think most people), Jungle Cruise isnt about seeing animal animatronics - it's more about the skipper's terrible jokes and bad puns! Not to mention the nostalgia factor, Walt's vision and reasoning for the ride, and the background that goes with it. I think being at WDW requires you to check reality at the door and go into a world of fantasy. If you ride it expecting or wanting real animals, then I can see why you'd be disappointed.

My biggest disappointment is Dumbo. I know it's popular, but I honestly don't see the appeal. It goes up, in a few circles, then back down... PLUS the fact that you're not riding REAL flying elephants

[spoiledraf]

I agree with Dumbo being dumb but I a thallus enjoyed Stitch. Mainly because it was air conditioned and I got a chance to sit down when I was having a very uncomfortable day. And it was the first time we ever tried it. And it beats Figment every day of the week

[JerseyDad]

......after waiting 2 yrs to get on to TSMM .....I was incredibly underwhelmed.

[1DisneyNut]

I have a list that I couldn't pick which one I was most disappointed with. They all contain those silly unimaginative screens that show animation:

The three cabaleros. I don't know how they could have ruined the ride in mexico anymore.

Nemo......big yawn.

The new Little Mermaid attraction in Fantasyland....don't care if I ever ride it again......tear it out and put the old Snow White ride in its place.

Finally, Toy Story Midway Mania.....I can't for the life of me figure out what the draw to that attraction is......it is just an updated Buzz Lightyear for crying out loud. The best I can come up with is the fact it is one of the few attractions at Hollywood Studios that young children might enjoy.

Discovery River Boats...I had more fun on the tram at the airport!

18 months?

It more like about 7 months (April-November 2009)...but, yeah....even working there during the refurb, we all (the Space CM's) thought we would be getting *the* Disneyland ride soundtrack and all the cool special effects and stuff...yes, it was a big disappointment even with us "dedicated" CM's....it was like, "That's it?"

[DKA041177]

I hate to say it, but another vote for Jungle Cruise. I am all about nostalgia, but with the amount of real estate it occupies I wish they would update it.

[LudwigVonDrake]

Probably Little Mermaid in MK. Basically an "eh…"

[SurferStitch]

Well, since DH and I love SGE, I can't agree with the OP's title for this thread, but as for greatest disappointment with a new/overhauled ride, it would probably be Spaceship Earth. The ending really is a letdown.

[The Dad]

I've got to go with the Jungle Cruise......it is so lame that even the nostalgia factor can't salvage it.
