What ride/attraction won't you ride?

[figmentaholic]

I have to admit I LOVE the talking heads on the wall, but I could skip the rest of it, so I dont usually watch the Jamboree when I go to Disney

I like the silly songs so I probably wouldn't skip over the Country Bear Jamboree, but once or twice a trip is enough.

Completely forgot about the talking heads, they're so great!

My Dad loved CBJ, and he loved country music....I have to say, Blood on the Saddle is pretty funny. Way back when, we saw the Christmas version, and one of the characters was "back stage" stumbling around trying to get the power back on. You could hear everything, and it was very funny

What ride will I not ride on, it would be Mission Space at EPCOT, why you ask, It has something to do with this ride just spinning you around at a couple of G's to experience space flight. , yet, I might ride it just for the sake of experience and say that I have gone on it.

Seems I'm in good company in my extreme dislike for Mission Space. Rode as orange team once and was ill for hours afterwards. Just ridiculously unpleasant. And yes I do have a touch of claustrophobia, but my brother does not and he too was pretty ill afterwards. Meanwhile Dad had gone on green team and thought it was completely boring. So since the bro and I needed a rest and had to wait for Mom and Sis (sis was pregnant at the time) who were sleeping, er, riding Universe of Energy, Dad jumped in line for orange and absolutely loved it. He was 60 at the time and still mocks his mid 30s kids for being wusses.

I'm also not a fan of Test Track...they make crash test dummies for a reason. The acceleration test is great though, and almost worth all the other tests. I'll give the re-skin a try in Jan 2013 if I have the time and the line is short enough and it's before my dinner reservation.

I hate driving in general so I usually skip the Speedway, but as someone else mentioned, I love that the queue is usually so full. Means those folks aren't in the Buzz Lightyear or Peter Pan queues slowing down my day. As kids, we all loved it because it was a chance to be a grown-up and drive a car. So I understand why parents stand in that ridiculously long and boring line. It makes their kids very happy.

I don't have a problem with the spinning rides (MS excepted). And I love the view from the Astro Orbiters. I have a soft spot for the boring rides too, 'cause sometimes a mid-day air-conditioned nap is just what you need and the Great American Movie ride as well as the Universe of Energy are perfect for that and you don't have to go back to your hotel.

But apparently there are only a handful of us who love the Country Bears. Definitely goes back to childhood and how at age 4 I was convinced a few of the bears were real. So yeah, I'm the one adult in the theatre who actually claps her hands and stomps her feet (and sings along) and doesn't care if people roll their eyes at her antics.

I'm quite surprised that no one has mentioned the Spirit of Norway movie. My family all hate it, but I adore it. Absolutely adore it.

I usually try to ride Splash Mountain as the last ride of my day so that I'm not trapped in wet clothes for very long. I've never ridden the water ride in the AK though cause like everyone who isn't crazy, I put my clothes in the dryer before wearing them because wet clothes are very uncomfortable. Might slip on a poncho and try it as a last ride of a day on the next trip because the scenery does look beautiful.

The imagination pyramid was once a favorite, but now is hardly worth the time. I've always wondered why they haven't re-done the ride portion as a Buzzlightyear style interactive ride where you help Figment and Dreamfinder capture inspiring items. And I really miss the play ground of old. I don't hate the current version, but I do feel resentful that it's so thoroughly un-inspiring.

Wow ~ you had me laughing here and nodding my head several times. I enjoy the Spirit of Norway movie too, but I'm good seeing only every once in awhile. And put me down as someone who would welcome some sort of Imaginative attraction for the Imagination pavilion!

I was so bummed that the Norway theatre was out-of-service during my last trip (Jan 2012). I asked the cast members at the exit if there was a DVD I could buy, and they laughed so much. They told me no one had ever asked that before!

[theBIGyowski]

I know I can get my late 80s fix by going on Maelstrom followed by the Spirit of Norway! It's one of the only places you can go in Epcot where it's just like it was in the 80s.

It tells me that Norway is just a late 80s version of America...right?

I wanted to ask them that too, but I kinda figured that would happen lol. Now I know they don't see them

It was closed in October, too. I bet it's going away permanently.

Working fine as of last month.

That is a relief. I was starting to worry...

If you want to see it, just go to YouTube and look it up.

I have a whole slew of attraction videos that I ripped from YouTube and put on my computer and/or phone so I can watch/listen to them whenever I want. Ripping them and storing them on my phone also keeps me from using up all of my data on SSR when I can't connect to Wi-Fi.
