    Default The Silver Lining: Find the Good in the Bad.

    Think of an attraction you generally dislike, and try to find something in it that you do like about it. Perhaps you like a part of the song, the queue, the safety spiel, or a particular animatronic figure. It could be anything, really.

    For example, I don't like Journey Into Your Imagination, but I do like Figment, He's an adorable character with such untapped potential. The ride simply lacks what it's supposed to represent...imagination. I also like the song. It's very catchy!

    What about you? Do you have one?

    I don't like ToT or Soaring because I have probs with heights. But they are done so well that I try to ride them every couple of years. It takes me a few months to work myself up to do it. I always enjoy them after I ride them, but I always say never again too. Kudos to Disney for that!

    For me it's mission space. I have never ridden it due problems with motion sickness and because I have seen too many people come off the ride and immediately lose their lunch. I have seen the video on YouTube and think it is really awesome, especially since Disney gets the Mars images from NASA.

    I'm not a big fan of Journey Into Your Imagination either. But it usually has a short wait time and it's a good way to get out of the heat for a few minutes. That's about the best I can say about that attraction.

    I don't like Sounds Dangerous, and it's the one attraction I can't think of anything redeeming about... well, okay, if you're hot and tired at DHS, it's a cool dark place for a nap. Bonus if you're the one odd person can't get enough of Drew Carey. This one is finally gone, right?

    This is an interesting question.

    Journey into Imagination - It is at least better than it was when they first re-opened it after ruining it.

    Tomorrowland Speedway - I can see the point for it being there, it's clear that many kids like the idea and for some reason I like going past it in the air of the TTA with the facing report soundtrack.

    Stich's Great Escape - There are at least a couple of well done bits in the pre-show. And again there is enough to remind me of when this was actually a good attraction.

    Magic Carpets - NOTHING. An eyesore, irrelevant and probably my vote for most pointless attraction.
    I've got a dirty thumb.

    I also think Journey into the Imagination. I hate what they have done to it, but ride it for the nostalgia of what it use to be.

    Lilo and Stitch. The air conditioning works well for the ride. Other than that. Horrible.

    Hall of Presidents. It's something that you certainly don't need to do more than once, but it sure makes a nice spot to take a rest.

    Hmmm... I don't really hate anything at WDW. Is that weird? I mean, sure, there are things I like better than others, but there's nothing that I look at and go "Oh my gosh, that is just TERRIBLE."

    The Tower of Terror - I'm deathly afraid of heights - the "chicken exit" allowed me to see all the great cool stuff up until hubby got on the main part of the ride.

    Stitch's Great Escape - It's air conditioned.

    Journey into - Figment!!

    Me 2. But I lived through it and am glad I did. I would suggest you do it at least once. I will not lie. It was a horrible experience when they dropped me. Not once but several times. But, the effects are Disney x 10 up till that point and are well worth it.

    Was the Stitch ride different at one point? B/c i feel all the rides that occupied that space were bad too. I feel that area is cursed to always have horrible attractions. I wish they would have left the time keeper thing, and put monster's inc there..

    Aladdin's Magic Carpets. The best part is having a chance to see the beautiful Jasmine for a photo shoot after.

    I'm always a silver lining guy no matter what in life, so I can find something good in any of the WDW attractions. My most disliked attraction is Stitch. However, I do like the effects and the fact that in a previous life it was Mission to Mars.

    I don't like Dinosaur because it is so jerky that I come out with a neck ache...but the special effects really are awesome...I don't like Sounds Dangerous or Figment either just can't think of anything positive to say about them

    I love Journey into the imagination. I don't know why, but i'd say it's one of my top 5 attractions at WDW.

    but for me the Stitch ride. and to be honest, I can't think of anytihng i like about...well maybe one thing, people ride it so those people aren't on other rides and making my wait time longer. haha......
