I'm not being negative as I truly love Disney and this type of thread may have been previously posted. However, in my opinion here are some rides that need to be renovated:
1. Space Mountain-To me, the ride itself just is so anti-climactic. I know the queue is just been renovated but the ride is the same. This should be the greatest roller coaster in North America and it's not even on the list. It's a minor roller coaster in the dark. Rock and Roll Roller Costar is much better in my opinion.
2. Dinosaur-my neck still hurts when I think about this ride. This ride is really LOUD and really jerky. The queue was great but the ride was disappointing.
In your opinion, What other rides, shows or presentations could use a good renovation?

Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
I agree with you about Dinosaur...I wear ear plugs when on this ride and it is just way to jerky for me as well. I do like the theme, but tone it down a bit.
Space Mountain is nostalgic for me, so I wouldn't change it.

Carousel of Progress
Country Bear Jamboree (most of the bears have lazy eyes...)
Expedition Everest (Yeti hasn't worked for years now...)
Dinosaur (Most of the effects are off or broken. Turn them back on or fix them!)
Great Movie Ride (finale and a few of the AAs)
Backlot Tour
Narnia - Prince Caspain (do I even have to say anything?)
Honey I Shrunk The Kids Playset
Universe of Energy (I like it but it's been a while since Bill Nye and Alex Trebek's mustache)
I'm sure there's more but that is off the top of my head and I'm still waking up.

Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
100% COP!!! JII could use a reverse renovation, lol. Living with the land as well.
"hold on to them hats and glasses, cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!!"
Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
Seeing as how JII has lost Kodak's sponsorship, I doubt JII will see much work done any time soon.yodiwan1 wrote:JII could use a reverse renovation, lol.
Maybe when (if) they get a new sponsor, hopefully in the next few years if not months.

1: Test Track, 1995 was a very unexciting year for the auto industry.
2: Please fix the Yetti
3: Honey I Shrunk the Audience. 3D tech has really made that show pretty lame

Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
I'll echo that the most outdated seems to be Test Track. GM doesn't make the Pontiac anymore, do they?
Country Bear Jamboree needs to be repaired! Several of the bears' eyes don't go back to the center position, so you end up with a very funny effect with different varities of the bear looking in two directions at once. I wish I was able to snap a picture. I was cracking up the whole time.

Now all they need to do is get rid of EO for something a helluva lot better and modern...Amy wrote:But they already "fixed" Honey I Shrunk the Audience by putting Captain EO back in the theaternorthernmousefan2007 wrote:3: Honey I Shrunk the Audience. 3D tech has really made that show pretty lame

Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
Pontiac is being phased out and Hummer was sold off. That GMC jimmy in the pre show is embarrassing to the new image GM is trying to portray.

In addition to fixing the Yeti, I'd also like them to fix the running carnotaurus that was the big innovation of Dinosaur. He hasn't run at me in a few years, and I miss watching him.
Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
He was running just fine 2 weeks ago. It's one of the few effects they work on to keep it working. If you haven't seen it running, then it's probably on an off day, kinda like the Gangster car in GMR.momeja wrote:In addition to fixing the Yeti, I'd also like them to fix the running carnotaurus that was the big innovation of Dinosaur.

Re: Rides That Need To Be Renovated
That's good to hear. With so much of the ride dark and the fact that there is another key AA in the park that isn't getting fixed, I was worried last trip that he'd also been neglected.MadEye wrote:He was running just fine 2 weeks ago.
