Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
I love the WedWay, too.
Also, Tom Sawyer Island, the WS movies at Epcot, the One Man's Dream museum at the Studios, and the walking paths under the Tree of Life.
I miss Cranium Command.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
I would have to agree on the TTA. I think a lot of people skip this as it isn't thrilling but I really enjoy it

Then again, the short line works in our favor - I often ask to just stay on for a second ride and they let me!Amy wrote:I would have to agree on the TTA. I think a lot of people skip this as it isn't thrilling but I really enjoy it

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
MK - Monsters Inc - This attraction can be hilarious yet we rarely have to wait very long for it. And it never seems to be on anyone's "Top" Anything type list.
Epcot - Innoventions - Love the Piggy Bank Adventure, StormStruck, The House of Innoventions, and I even sat around just watching other people ride Sum of All Thrills. I haven't allowed myself to see everything but I try to do one more thing in Innoventions with each visit. I love it.
DHS - One Man's Dream - too many people walk by this attraction/museum, and the movie at the end gets me choked up every time...I don't know why, it just does.
AK - Flights of Wonder - I love this show, and I try to see it with each visit but it's another attraction that I see too many people passing by without giving it a try.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Did you ever get to go on the ill-fated rocket rods? Those were there taunting us on our first visit but they never did run while we were there. And I believe they were completely shut down not long after that visit...MmeLeota wrote:These are all good ones!

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
With all of the votes for TTA, Flights of Wonder, and One Man's Dream (all my choices too) it is a wonder that they are "overlooked". The one park missing in theis list is EPCOT and I have to say I love the movies in Canada, France and China and we never have to wait to see any of them.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
You bet! They weren't very enjoyable (except for the front seat...you felt the movement of the car rising up and going down with the acceleration and braking), but we kept riding it because we actually wanted to get stuck on them and have to be evacuated off. The closest we got to that happening was we just exited the ride, by the time we got downstairs, the CMs were walking the track starting to evacuate the folks that were stuck.Amy wrote:Did you ever get to go on the ill-fated rocket rods?

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Might I ask why they weren't very enjoyable ~ were they too slow, too bumpy, too short of a duration? Looking at youtube videos it seemed like they would have to slow down for maneuvering around corners just as soon as they would get up to speed. I can see why you would want to have to evacuate along the track, that would be cool!MmeLeota wrote:You bet!

I'm wondering if the Car's attraction will be similar to Rocket Rods but with the proper track so it will actually work?!

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Carsland's cars ride is going to be based on Test Track, not Rocket Rods.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Malestrom- I absolutely love this ride. It is under-appreciated.
