i picked winnie the pooh, mainly because it went from an all ages ride to a mainly children ride, and i think that they should've kept country bear jamboree in there, for that reason. because winnie the pooh is only like 2 minutes long and makes you feel like you're on LSD. and i haven't been to epcot so i couldn't pick world of motion or spaceship earth. but my vote, although i never went on it, but did see a video of it, would be captain eo. wow, i thought that was pretty lame. and i can only begin to imagine what it was like in 3-d *shutters* don't get me wrong i think michael jackson is one of the greatest dancers ever. i just don't really care for his look (i think everyone would agree with me on that one) and what he does with children. i just thought it was a totally corny ride and couldn't see anyone wanting to go on that ride more than once. although captain eo was a show, i would consider it a ride. so you can add it or not i don't care i'm just saying, i think that the worst ride ever was captain eo. :D

SuperStar Limo made that berry-smelling dark ride at Knott's look like Peter Pan!

The carousel in fantasyland is kind of boring, all you do is go around and around.

True... but as far as carousels go, it's pretty impressive... the details, the music, etc. Though, there is a massive two-story carousel at Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara, CA, that always looks amazing.

Ugh... I waited an hour for SuperStar Limo, went on it, came off, and looked at my aunt and we both wondered what in the world the whole point of the cruddy attraction was about.

I'm going to go in a different direction and say Tuck 'n Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies. I just don't see the point in cars that move less fast than an average person walks, even for young guests.

I'm reviving another old thread....

This was difficult because it usually takes a lot for me to not like something. I usually try to find something positive and then it grows on me. As far as Disney rides go (aside from the ones I won't touch with a 10 foot pole - ToT, I'm talking to you), I like them all. But there are a couple that stand out.

Superstar Limo in DCA...glad it didn't last long!
The idea was kind of cool (considering you're in a "Hollywood" setting, but the execution was lousy (I think this is what happened with the whole park...IMHO but I like DCA anyway). It was obvious that budgets were slashed.

The other one is not a ride...Tiki Room Under New Management
When I saw this for the first time, I almost walked out! The Tiki Room has long been a favorite of mine and I was looking forward to seeing Tropical Serenade since I had been told it was basically the same show. When I saw it had been changed to UNM, I thought I'd give it a chance anyway. Yeah, I won't be going there again! :shock:

The choices in this poll perplex me. Peter Pan, Spaceship Earth, and World of Motion? Huh?

I loathe the Tomorrowland Speedway. A giant waste of space with a height limit that keeps the target audience from driving the cars. :?

For historically bad I'll have to go with the boat ride at the Animal Kingdom. It was the most boring thing ever - nothing to look at and the lines were always huge because it was slow and they only ran two boats. I think it lasted 18 months with three or more different variations before they just shut it down.

I never got around to visiting DCA to see the Superstar Limo but I cannot stand the Monsters Inc. ride. I would have liked to see the Superstar Limo executed better, though.
