    What is a ride that you don't understand the 'craze' about?

    The new Nemo ride - hands down.
    Luckily, we got on during the Florida resident only try-out phase and did have to wait for it.
    The whole seas pavilion needs to have something done. After my kids saw Crush once they don't ask for it any more.
    We skip the Living Seas pavilion every time now.

    Toy Story Mania. It's a fun ride but not worth the wait at all.

    Test Track...I enjoy riding it but, to me, it's no big deal.
    Nice work, pal.

    One of my favorites is Living With the Land, and my family thinks I am crazy for liking it so much. So, to each their own

    I totally agree talk about cheep. I don't even see how kids could like it. It would have been better to make it a walk through and up grade the living seas then to make such a lame ride.

    Next trip in Jan 2017 I hope!

    Ditto on the Nemo ride. I love Turtle talk though.

    Another thing I was underwhelmed with was the Nemo show at AK.. Something about it just left me really bored.
    All of our dream can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

    Remember, we must always believe in our wishes, for they are the magic in the world.

    Current CM at MK! If you're in Adventureland and craving Dole, Ice Cream, or an eggroll, look for Sarah from Front Royal, VA and say Hi!

    I have to agree with the Nemo ride in Epcot. It is very boring and not really worth doing. However, in Disneyland their Nemo ride is the 20,000 Leagues under the sea and this to me is the BEST thing that WDW should have done with that ride instead of taking 20,000 Leagues away.
    But if any of you ever make it over to Disneyland, CA, the Nemo Ride, their pirates of the caribbean and their Wishes fireworks with Tinkerbell will blow your mind!! It blows WDW's out of the water!!!

    Soarin. Don't get it, it's a neat ride but the fact that every time we've been down it's at least 60 min in the standby line.

    Test Track. I rode it many times, but the only part I enjoy is when you go fast outside (which lasts about 5-10 seconds). Not worth the long lines or wasting a fast pass on it. If my family didn't want to ride it, I would just skip it.

    'Soarin' for me. It's a nice ride, but I don't get the overwhelming popularity. 'Toy Story' I understand, because it's still pretty new, but 'Soarin' has been around a while now and still has mega wait times. If I can fastpass it, i'll ride. If not, no big deal. I won't do standby there.

    Ok so maybe there isnt a craze about them but I have two:
    The astro orbitor and Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. Both are carnival rides to me and should be scrapped for something better. On top of that, the Orbitor is basically the same as Dumbo and the flying carpets of Aladdin. Why have three of the same thing?
