I voted for Country Bear Jamboree, just because the attraction is outdated. The sound is bad, the hydrolics are from the stone ages. I mean you can hear the actuators moving the bears. It just either needs to be totally overhauled or done away with. It's in need of a major refurb.

I'm surprised to see stitch winning or truely lossing in this pole, I think its a great new attraction, with all the impressive effects of an older well made ride. It has a animatronic queue, a cute star, it seats many for quick line movement. My few complaints may be that the shoulder thing sometimes doesn't work so well and can hurt you alittle if your not carefull, I hate the chilliedog smell, couldn't they have choosen something else? And most of all which I think may be why people dislike it and may not even know why, But, Stitch the only animatronic, in the show, and what is reasponsible for providing the best entertainment, favors greatly only parts of the room. Leaving other audience members staring at his back, feeling sortof left out from the entertainment and unamused. But, at least its not Mission to Mars, that ride was so out of date for so long, does anyone else remember? whoa my seat is shaking, wow. I love the Country bears, they're classic and their music is real recorded instruments, I don't really like country music, but I do love thier upbeat bluegrass kinda sound. Come on, open your mind, their singin' joke tellin' bears, how can you not like it. I voted for Monsters 'cause its not impressive, and Timekeeper was so much better.

Although I love the bears, I do agree it needs repair. the speakers are blown, especially for the three girl bears in the blue dresses. What you hear may be the compressor, which is in the same room with us, or at least thats how it sounds, and the Pneumatics, both used for controlling the 3 animal heads. They're run on air, not like the others, or at least thats what I'm told and they're the real noisy ones. If they break and leak they will not drip staining fluid on quests leaving the show. Thats just one reason why they're really noisy. And as long as I can remember the show has always been loud in that way. I still love it, but with todays technology, I agree with you, they really should repair the sound problems for the veiwers.

Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride is just so out of place, and take up so much room.

I didn't say I didn't like the Country Bear Jamboree, it just needs some work. I voted for it, because, in its current state, it is a bad attraction. You can't hear what the bears are saying over the music. The sound quality is really bad. And the animatronics themselves make noise. Plus, it seems like Disney sticks the worst cast members on that attraction. I was there earlier this month and the woman who made the announcement spoke with a heavy accent, help the microphone too close to her mouth and spoke too quickly. It just needs a refurb, Disney is neglecting this classic attraction for the newer, more popular attractions. If they aren't going to spend the time and money to update it/refurb it, then they should trash it.

I voted for the bears. I went on stitch when I was there in 2006 and thought it was okay. Definitely not in my top ten Disney favorites, but I will go on it when I am there in a couple of days :mickey:

Buh-bye Stitch...

Stich to me is like the current JIYI w/ Figment... How can we change the ride on the CHEAP because this isn't a schedule Refurb., but an emergency remake.

It just missed the mark for me.

Yep, I voted for the Grand Prix (Autopia) as well for much the same reasons. We went on them on our recent trip and had fun, but they could do a lot more with them. Maybe they could be upgraded to be hybrid electric cars, with some "Pixar Cars" theming? I know my 4 year old would love that!

I haven't been on the Stitch ride, but the Laugh Floor was amusing enough. My two year old and I were featured on the video screen as a "two headed monster", so I will have fond memories of it at least. Plus, it provides a nice respite from the hot Florida sun!

Didn't it already have one of those? I seem to remember the original show didn't have Stitch being friendly/playful at all at the end.. something was changed after the initial opening, anyway. Not enough, apparently.

I am in absolute agreement on the posts regarding Monsters, Inc. Thought it was neat with the new technology of "live" animation (maybe that's why they put it in Tomorrowland) but was incredibly dissatisfied the 2nd time sitting in it on our last trip. That is definitely a once and done attraction.

Stitch has got to go, and COP needs revamping. I am all for the COP concept but some updating would be nice. Space Mountain, while being a classic, is in dire needs as well. Tomorrowland in general is not very "tomorrow-esqe" anymore is it??

Good news on the Grand Prix front at least, they will be going to alternative fuel within the next year at least......although that smell of gas/exhaust brings back some serious memories from my youth!

Does 99Soulz ever stop whining? Anyway, I have never done Stitch, mainly beacuse AE was great and I know I will be disapointed. MILF was very fun the 1st time, I will be going again in Dec and see if Whiney Whine Soulz is correct. Tomorrowland has not been very tomorrow-y in decades, but that is what makes it great!

I voted for Aladdin's Magic Carpet. I think they tried to make it on par with Dumbo... but it will never be as good.

I don't understand people's issues with the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor. I love that one! I think it's hilarious... for both kids and adults! I did it twice in one trip, and while it was a little predictable, it was just as funny the second time around. I'll see it the next time I go, too... and I'm sure I'll laugh just as hard then.

Hall of Presidents. Hands down.
My rationale:
If you have an attraction where people actually begin BOOING, you know something's wrong. Yet, since Dubya was added, I generally heard boos throughout the audience. That's bad. As is, Disney is strongly considering not letting the new addition to the show have a speaking part. So this doesn't happen again.
Most of the attractions on this list need to be reworked (remixed, if you will). I think the best one on the list would be Space Ranger Spin, but even that has room for improvement. Then there's the Fantasyland attractions; no way should they be noticeably changed, but a fresh coat of paint and an audio upgrade is pretty necessary for all of them.
The last time I was there was 2005, so Monsters wasn't open yet. I'm surprised people here don't like it, I heard it was a good show.
Oh yeah, Stitch. I was around for both soft open and hard open. Yes, I'm a wimp, but Stitch is an improvement simply because I probably NEVER would have tried ET. I thought it was amusing. I also thought the advertising was HILARIOUS. Again, I was there for hard open - I saw the toilet-papered castle in real life. Still, there is room for improvement - perhaps, add some random elements to the attraction, and tone down the chili breath. Cheez, you could smell that junk when you first entered the room. :|

This could be great, if it were actually about the presidents.

They should hire Doris Kearns Goodwin and make the darn thing entertaining instead of a lecture about civil rights that most people already know, painted in such broad strokes as to make a really interesting topic pretty bland.
