ToT...That way my family can't keep on me about not riding it and telling me "just try it once"...I guess if that would work then I would get rid of RnR too...:blush:
Did I mention that I am a :chicken:

The speedway in MK, such a waste of space for a ride that is so boring!

I second that one. I despise it, especially when I'm standing in line with the grandkids, breathing fumes and going deaf.

Sounds Dangerous, although I think it may be going already.

It would definately be Stitch. Such a boring attraction.

Wow, between Sounds Dangerous, Speedway and Stitch...hmmmmm I would say the Speedway. Although, I think we could do without all 3.

Agreed, could be the worse attraction of all

For me it's a toss up between Stitch & Sounds Dangerous. As pp stated, it looks like SD is already on the way out so that leaves me with...

most definitely Stitch :ack: - biggest waste of 20 minutes that I'll never get back.

Personally, the Speedway, yepp. Heh, the one time we went on it, a car ran out of gas or something, so we ever so literally got stuck sitting, inhaling the fumes. It's nice that it's longer and goes through treed area, so it's better than Six Flag's but... eh! There are SO many better rides they could put in that space. I think that's the purpose of it though, something that's cheap to run and takes up space (without being utterly empty) so they can eventually do something with it.

But, I think that if I were a child, being able to drive a car would be really cool to me... so I can see even the Speedway's value.

Stitch has some value to me. Kids really like Stitch, don't they? And how the big arm guns move is sort of cool. It's not something you need to see more than once, but... eh. (Though- it is always without a line, so that's nice!)

I soooooo wish they kept that original alien one in it though!

Oh, and I actually like that little ride in Mexico. :P You sip a Margarita under the stars, and then hop onto a boat ride and float about... it's a nice way to get out of the sun.

I would definitely get rid of Stitch but first I'd get rid of Winnie the Pooh and bring back Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Unlike many who have already posted, I love the Tomorrowland Speedway because it's nostalgic for me. I waited for what seemed like forever to ride it (to get tall enough when I was a kid) alone and see if I could go the whole way without hitting the rail beneath the car. Yes, I've done it! I ride it every time we go.

I will never ride RnRC again; once was more than enough, and I'm still psyching myself up to ToT which I will ride one day.

07-06-2009, 04:40 PM

I'm surprised that I have more than one, but here goes: The Speedway, Stitch, Snow White. I have to admit, I have a soft spot for The Speedway, but it does seem like a waste of prime real estate. By the same token, my kids really loved it when they were small, so who am I to say it should go? Stitch just stinks, literally AND figuratively (sp?), and Snow White is incredibly lame by Disney standards. Of course, PPF is lame, too, but it's one of my all-time favorites.:mickey: Guess that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla, right????

07-06-2009, 05:00 PM

While I don't want to open a big can of worms and I know it's not a ride, my choice would be Fantasmic. I would much rather see the Sorcery in the Sky show they used to have there than Fantasmic. It's hot, always crowded and it's a madhouse after the show is over. Just my :twocents:

Stu29573

07-06-2009, 06:07 PM

It would definately be Stitch. Such a boring attraction.

You know, I hadn't been on Stitch and I kind of felt sorry for it because it got bashed so much. Then I went on it a couple of weeks ago with a wide open mind and a desire to like it.

I was disappointed. Very disappointed.

Although it's no Sounds Dangerous, it is a stinker (in more ways than one). Yep, I'd prefer Mission to Mars back. It's gotta go. Sorry, Stitch.

another vote for both stitch and speedway.. i've already told DH that we won't be doing either.. lol much better things to do

Ellen's Universe of Energy must go. I guess it used to be a good nap ride, but it's hard to sleep with Ellen scraping the chalkboard with her voice and corny jokes.

I'm with folks on the Speedway, basically because it is SO big and takes up so much space that could be used for many new and fabulous rides! I would also toss in Astro Orbiter, simply because I can ride that same ride at any local theme park (however, without the nice views of MK to go along with it). Then again, I'd love to see the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea reopened! No matter how cheesy, I still recall being about 8 years old or so and thinking at that attraction in Disneyland, that those fish (yes, they were real to me) were the closest to real fish that I was ever going to see.

MarknTara

07-07-2009, 08:52 AM

Wow...

I suppose I see why adults don't really like the Speedway. It's noisy, crowded, and there's always a long line. However, I distinctly remember LOVING it as a kid. It's so exciting for little kids (to whom 16 seems so far away) to be able to drive. The reason it's so crowded is because the kids love it.

As to Ellen's Universe of Energy, that's one we make a point to hit every time we go down. We love Bill and Ellen and the ride is a great way to get out of the sun for a bit.

Well...yeah.

If left up to me I'd get rid of all the rides that don't scare ya or challenge ya.

I guess to be "fair" and not turn Disney into a "thrill" park (except for the Jungle, Pirates and the shooting rides...) I'd have to keep several. I'd like to dump Stitch and bring back Alien Encounter...I'd liked to watch 'em scream :thedolls:

Some of the rides I think just need some serious modification over total eradication. The People Mover :confused: this "way of the future" has been there for 30 years and it's useless...why not extend this to get from one end of the park to another? Charge a $1...I'll bet they pay for the mod in a year.

Ellen's Universe of Energy...Nice ride but...Let's bring it up to speed a little. Whatever they call the "ball". UPDATE it. It's OLD news...same with the house of the future. A lot of the stuff you can easily buy today.

I guess if I can't think of RIDES per sae (to be fair to the little ones)...but I can think of "attractions"...Sounds Dangerous, Narnia (Prince Caspian wasn't even that good).

07-07-2009, 07:40 PM

Stitch I know its not a ride but I can't stand it but ds likes it. I would like them to make the speedway more disney. The only thing we like about Ellen is the dinosour part.

Gator

Ellen's Universe of Energy - too boring and too long

Right on the money. My daughter thought it was great to steer a car (even though I had to press the pedal). It was a great experience. That's what Disney is about...the children.

AlexinWonderland

07-07-2009, 09:46 PM

Tomorrowland Speedway
Reasons:
Takes up a lot of room in a prime location
Not thrilling or entertaining enough
Loud and distracting from the area's theme

I know some kids love this, and they have been talking for a long time about giving it some Car's flair but oy, so much room for such a dinky little ride, it seems like two rides could fill that real estate.

Stitch's Great Escape
Reasons:
So mangled from it's previous fun incarnation that I really must agree that if you can't do it with X-S it shouldn't be done at all.

Imagination Pavalion
Reasons:
Another ride manhandled and deformed to me, I miss Dreamfinder, and if it had to be updated why such a minimalist dull makeover??

Also, this is my first post, so Ello!

KatrinaJ91

07-07-2009, 10:32 PM

I disagree with all of you! I wouldn't get rid of any rides because someone, somewhere loves the rides you want to get rid of or have not even experienced them yet. I personally hate the Speedway but understand the reason they keep it. I do wish they would update it to the Cars theme though. :mickey:

JavaDuck

07-08-2009, 01:09 AM

Very easy question for me...Stitch.

My partner and I walked out of that attraction and looked at each other and both said that's 10 minutes we will never get back.

laprana

07-08-2009, 10:26 AM

I totally agree with everyone else who said Stitch should go. That would be my first pick!!

DisneyOtaku

The Astro Orbiter. For me, it's because I have a horrible fear of heights and I keep feeling like I'm going to fall out of the car :sick:

:ditto::exactly:

If the speedway was revamped and really upgraded, it might convince me to leave it in, but as is, it is the biggest waste of theme park real estate in WDW. You can argue that other attractions are worse (Stitch's Great Escape, Swiss Family Treehouse, Sounds Dangerous, etc.) but none of them takes up so much space.

Mickey91

07-10-2009, 01:32 AM

Stitch.

The speedway always has a huge line is way too popular to warrant a removal. The only revamping acceptable for it would be to give it a "Cars" theming. That would make it more of a fantasyland or toontown ride but it sits on those borders anyway.

Rhetoric2000

07-10-2009, 05:37 AM

Speedway. Too much space for a ride that you can do at a local venue.

I agree with a previous poster that they could easily fit a Cars themed ride there as part of a replacement. Or indeed, anything else.

Personally I'd also shift One Man's Dream to that venue so they can give a much needed extension to Pixar place in DHS.

Stitch. I was never so disappointed with an attraction.

Disney Doll

07-10-2009, 09:59 AM

I'm not a fan of Stitch or of Speedway, but I think some people do like them. For me the worst attraction is HISTA. It's just so old and that movie is not what I would consider a classic. I've seen it once and that's all I really need. It's high time to replace that one.

I almost completely agree with you...but...does anyone love Sounds Dangerous? That is the worst attraction WDW has ever had. They blew out Stitch's Dance Party in two weeks and kept this abomination for how many years??!

I wish it were revamped using Cars (would like to ride Mater going backward)

Sounds Dangerous, although I think it may be going already.

My kids loved it! I don't!

AllDisney

07-11-2009, 01:13 PM

I'd say the speedway at MK. There is so much valuable space being taken up by a ride that has had it's day. It's time to replace or drastically update this attraction.

We have not gone to the speedway for years now.

chaodj9

07-11-2009, 09:04 PM

Agreed, could be the worse attraction of all

sounds dangerous if i wanted to listen to sound effects i would go on you tube and turn the volume up

07-11-2009, 10:43 PM

that's hard. let's see...

stitch- because we have all been stitched to death

re-do, not destroy, imagination and energy pavilions, sounds dangerous, speedway, tiki room, hista

destroy and rebuild to something new with completely different theme, mission space, wonders of life pavilion, swiss family treehouse (does anyone remember what swiss family is anymore?)

i agree with a lot of the posted, but i am suprised no one else mentioned tiki room. unless i missed that

Stu29573

07-12-2009, 08:46 AM

I would vote for Stitch but Sounds Dangerous is the worst attraction I have ever been in/on. What a horrible waste of time. Didn't it used to be a fun special effects presentation? I have a vague memory of that...

It used to be "Monster Sound Show" which was light years beyond SD. It was funny, interesting, and educational- None of which counts for SD.

Dickson Thunder

07-12-2009, 09:20 AM

As far as a "ride" is concerned I would say the
Speedway. If you include attractions I would
say the LMA Stunt Show.

IloveDisney71

07-12-2009, 06:44 PM

It's not a ride, it's an attracion - Sounds Dangerous!

If I had to chose a ride, I guess it'd be Star Tours...just because it made me sick.:blush:

Bellerella

07-13-2009, 12:12 AM

Maelstrom in the Norway pavillion. It's horrible! I hate the poorly done animatronics. It could have potential if they would renovate it perhaps?

GhostHost999

07-13-2009, 12:48 AM

i would say stich...however...that's not really a ride though...
other things that are not rides, but i'd love to get rid of or change...
the indiana jones show..i like it, but it's time to change it.. it's been there so long...
the same w/ the honey i shrunk the audience. I love that show, but it's based on a movie that's over 20 years old!!!! disney can come up w/ something better for a 3-d show.

How about a heavy duty 3-d/4-d show based on The Incredibles?? They seem made for this.

Imagine Frozone spraying the audience and some cold fog cannons spray the patrons... :cool:

TheVBs

07-14-2009, 08:27 AM

We've never had any desire to go to Sounds Dangerous, so it wouldn't break my heart if it went.

I've never been on Stitch (loved AE!) but DH (wasn't impressed) and DD8 (loved it) have.

Ellen's Energy Adventure is always a nice long break, but it wouldn't break my heart if that went.

My kids love the Speedway, so I wouldn't want to see that go, but a revamp would be great! Cars themeing and electric?

The Swiss Family Treehouse is not a must for us, but I do still like it. I think it's a great place to get a special view of the park, especially at night.

We love the Tiki Room! Would not want to see that go, even in it's current version.

And, I have to say that I wouldn't be broken hearted if COP went *hides behind the desk* but I think DH would.

Same here! Dreamfinder was awesome. The old Journey Into Imagination was so inspiring. It's like you came off that ride wanting to create things! Now it's just dumb and boring. The rainbow light tunnel was so cool. Why did they have to get rid of that?

Jll3Sonex

07-29-2009, 03:45 PM

There's a couple of things I'd like to see revert back - pull the Three Caballeros from the Mexico ride and change it back to the River of Time... and pull the Nemo stuff from "The Seas".

But the big thing, and I know it's just been updated... is to revert back Spaceship Earth. The kids talking to each other from half-way around the world may have seemed dated for a 'futuristic' scenario - but THAT to me really used to show what the future was going to bring.

MistressGracey

07-29-2009, 05:09 PM

I read a rumor over on Screamscape that stated that Fantasyland is getting a total overhaul: additional Dumbo ride with an interactive queue between the two, a new sit-down restaurant, new Little Mermaid ride, and much more! To do this, rumor has it that Toontown's days are numbered and I won't be sorry to see it go, TBH. It's Ok for a one-time look-see, but it's rather boring after that. Of course, if I had little kids I may be singing a different tune....:piano:

MistressGracey

07-29-2009, 05:20 PM

To be honest, none of the "cycle rides" being removed would hurt my feelings in the least. Even when our kids were younger, we never bothered with Dumbo, Tea Cups, Astro Orbiter...long, long lines for rides you can experience anywhere. I know I'm probably WAY in the minority with this...maybe I'll just go now...:bolt:

07-29-2009, 06:59 PM

This was much harder for me than I could have imagined. That's mostly because Im a hugely sentimental softie, and have great memories of just about EVERYTHING at WDW (dont get me started on Mickeys Backyard BBQ...)
Anyhow, after lots of thought, Id have to go with Sounds Dangerous. I dont hate it, but Id have to say it has the lowest value/appeal overall to the most people
