Myself, I'd never gotten the chance to ride superstar limo (seeing as how the first time I'd even been to DCA was last april). I don't think I'm missing much based on what's been said here and the comments that are thrown around at mouseplanet.
hum, im surprised i didnt pick superstar as the worst ride there. maybe its because i've only ridden on it once, and its not fair to automatically mark it as the worst....although thats what im going for.
i take back what i said about the casey jr train and storybookland boat ride.

It was funny looking at the deserted building on my last visit. Poor old Superstar limo. Ihe immagineers put a lot into it.

I don't remember the ride impressing me at all. It had the feel of a fantasy land ride that was designed 40+ years ago technology wise. It just felt like no effort was really put into it, they just needed to fill space.

40 years ago Fantasyland rides DID have effort put into them. That's the different. I agree that little effort was put into Superstar Limo. I'm happy to know I've been on it so I can remind myself of the lowest Disney has made themselves.

The ride was crap. I experienced it after waiting 1 hour. It wasn't worth it. Thank god they took it out. Now they are putting a "Monsters Inc." ride. I hope it's better thought out then the Superstar Lamo ride.

I got to ride it and I was on benedryl. LOL
I had a bad reaction to the heat and Sun in california and it was so hot and I had to wear a jacket. Anyway I stopped by the Nurse in Disneyland and she gave me a benedryl pill to help with the itching. Then we headed over to CA and we did Muppet Vision and Superstar Limo. I could hardly stay awake for either one. That was my one and only time to ride it too so I can really call it a sleeper ride.

I kind of liked Superstar Limo. It wasn't Disney themed in any way but I thought it was kind of cute.

I never had a chance to go on this attraction, but I was able to watch it on youtube. From what I saw, it was doomed to fail. It was like an infomercial for the shows on ABC. I am glad that they replaced it with Monster's Inc, a far superior Disney type attraction.

We experienced SL, and thought the idea of it was cute and fit well with the theming of the area but the execution was lacking (I'm being nice). It reeked of cost-saving corner cutting...
Monsters Inc. is better.

I have to agree with you MmeLeota ~ Superstar Limo was just a bunch of cutouts and iffy stars at best. Monsters is cuter and (in my opinion) more entertaining than the Monster's Laugh Floor in WDW

No I mean carved figured (I'm guessing resin) that moved. While the Whoppi one did talk, there were no audio animatronics.
