Nope, you're not alone Jacca!!! DH and I LOVE The Land! It's a must for us on every trip to WDW! We even did the "Behind the Seeds" tour on our last trip. It was great!

Hmmmmm, it's not a favorite overlooked attraction, but...

The current Journey Into Your Imagination has become to me like the Universe of Energy ride of old...a great place to go to get out of the heat and get some welcomed air-conditioning on a really hot day. There's no lines...no one actually rides the ride anymore because they like it...so you don't have to stand around long to get on the ride to seek some heat-relief. So, in a way, it is a favorite overlooked attraction to get heat-relief! :wink: :lol:

I agree that hour long breaks in air conditioning are a really good thing. I love looking around and seeing all of the people who are sleeping.

I would have to agree it's overlooked for the most part but this attraction always has one of the longest and slowest ques at epcot, at least when i'm there.

It might not be THAT big of an attraction but DCA's Animation Academy is a great place to hide away and relax since it's air conditioned. Send the kids to go watch Turtle Talk with Crush and just take a quick nap in the dark.

Really? I'm shocked! :shock: The last few times I've been there the whole area is like a ghost-town. The cast members are so desperate to see another living soul that they rather talk to you than let you get on the ride. I guess it gets lonely being stuck working a ride no one wants to ride.

I don't think I have ever seen a line since they changed it :shock: I'd love to have done an exit poll on the riders that day! "So, did you think the attraction warranted a 25 minute wait?" "Insert any number of not so positive (and more than likely unpublishable) comments here"

I say bring back Figgy and Dreamfinder! :(

Also, can someone explain to me why they love Maelstrom so much?! It's been years since I was on this '05, I just can't remember it being all that fantastic?! Am I missing something?!

Hey, he's not dead! He's just on an extended "flights of fancy", searching the universe for sights and sounds, anything that can spark the imagination... :wink:

I totally agree! The tour was really a cool experience. I would love to have a greenhouse with high-tech gardens like that! I was really surprised that more people are not interested in that tour.
