    Default Disney Updating Rides but Actually Making Them Worse

    As opposed to the "rides that need updating" thread I think the bigger problem is Disney using advice like this to actually make attractions a lot worse.

    I can think of a few that just made me angry:

    The Enchanted Tikki Room Under New Management was mangled to death. I've thought this since the 90's too. Noone wants to hear Gilfred Godfrey singing, no one. They took something that was cute and quaint and made it completely corny and annoying in an attempt to hawk new characters. Thank god they went back to the original style recently.

    The Mexico ride with the addition of Donald Duck and the Three Caballeros. This did nothing for the ride. It was much more enjoyable before they randomly editing Donald into every scene.

    The Seas with Nemo and Friends. While, the original ride may have not been the best thing ever, just dumping character tie-ins that have little to do with the theme of structure of the pavillion or Future World was very annoying. The 3D effects while interesting, seem a bit lazy as well. Over all, this ride does nothing to teach anoyone about anything.

    Ones that are so so:

    Pirtaes of the Carribean. Adding Johnny Depp into the ride and Davey Jones just seemed very stupid. Thankfully, this is only pushed down our throats a few times. Thank god, the Haunted Mansion movie bombed. I can only imagine how much that ride would have been destroyed if that wasn't the case.

    Ones that worked imo:

    Ellen's Energy Adventure. The original Universe of Engery was the most boring attraction in existence. The people that don't like this ride now obviously have not been on the previous version. It was something you had to sit through like a million hours of boring films that wouldn't make the cut in a High School science class to see dinosaurs for. The new version is several times more entertaining my comparsion. And unlike the Seas, the new version actually still ties in with th educational aspect of the park.

    Rides that should not be touched even though people may feel a need to:

    The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios. I'm just too paranoid about the fact they would try to jam in <snip> popcorn movies that aren't actually classic films to appease a bunch of idiots with no taste. The people on this ride should be exposed to actual great movies so they actually see something that doesn't use CGI and "shakey cam" to cover up a lack of actual film making and plot. Maybe they could update some of the animatronics, but the line up of films should reamin as is.
