But "Slave Church" gives it a whole new meaning...might that have fit into Disney's America theme park? :wink:

Hmm. This is a rather tricky question to me. An overlooked attraction, eh? Well, I would choose Casey Jr.'s Circus Train. It seems overlooked to me.
Love Tomorrowland and Adventureland, but hard to decide to which one is best.

Love RCT3

Tomorrowland Transit Authority, for sure.

Also, the Lion King movie above Living with the Land.

The most overlooked attraction I'd have to say is either the Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom or El Rio Del Tiempo in Epcot. I love both those rides because they are relaxing and dark and you can just sit there and watch. Its good to do these rides when the more popular ones have long lineups.

bad news? What the fact they made a decent update to the Mexico Boat ride and now people actually ride it? The new Grande Tour Fiesta still has many of the old films, just Donald spliced into them....and it has many new ones. The intro is completely the same so you can't tell from the restaurant. Big difference is now there is a wait and its not a dead/dying attraction.

The point is sgrfunk liked El Rio because it was relaxing. You can't really say that about it now.

Also I don't think any of the old films are in use, although there were some homages to the old ones.

El Rio, COP, and TTA are some great ones. I also love Tom's Island, it also has to be the most kid friendly hands on attraction. My boys loved to go there when they were little.

I don't know if this counts. My DW and I love to sit or stand up in Canada and people watch. It always seems to be empty and it gives you a great view of the area. It being close to the Rose and Crown (Half Yard of Beer) helps, Remember you have to keep Hydrated when people watching!!

I don't know if these are 'overlooked' often, but I certainly skipped them over for a long time: the walking trails over in DAK. I think they're called 'jungle treks' or something like that. Beautiful and educational! The couple of times I did explore them, I hardly saw anyone around most of the time.

I would pick the Lion King show in The Land. I'm not an environmentalist at all but I love that whole area.

I'd have to say in my opinion I have found the Tiki Birds to be way overlooked and only found by some when it rains and they are looking for a place to wait out the storm. :shock:

I would have to agree that the Circle of Life film in the Land is defnitely overlooked. I love hearing the lion king songs in loud sound, plus it is very educational too
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.
