Bah! I'm making a drinking game out of it! The doc says my liver is already dead, but I'll keep chugging!
I am FOR Interdimensional Beings in this ride.Same ride, only now the Carnotaurus is replaced with Skully The Interdimensional Being.

Toy Story Mania? World-class?

It’s one of the best shooter rides but “world class” it is not

No - this interpretation was garbage.

Between Disneyland and Disney World I've never seen less than a two hour wait for it (during the middle of the day to be fair) so idk I'd say its pretty popular. Also, second result on google for best dark rides-

Well -,they consider the Avatar area to be a fulfillment of Beastly Kingdom - its mythical creatures. As much as we like Pandora though- we all wanted something with dragons .

Yeah, I don't tolerate their BS about Avatar being the fulfillment. Give me my freakin' Dragon Tower and Quest for the Unicorn.
You've never seen less than a 2 hour wait for TSM?
You need to not go Christmas week, then, because I've never personally seen more than a 90 minute wait for TSM and that's over visits during most months of the year. I've also never seen a posted wait time in the app that high unless maybe there were 4 other rides in the park down at the same time, or the aforementioned Christmas week. Not saying that it hasn't happened, but 2 hours for TSM would seem to be an exception, not a rule.

I went to Epcot the first year it opened when I was 6. I went every other year for 8 years. I'm an Epcot purist, but do appreciate some of the things they've added. I've come understand that true edutainment is dead, which is unfortunate, but I don't get hung up on it. I went to Disney for 20 some years after that, I didn't find maelstrom until I was in my late 20's. When I realized there we're rides put into world showcase I was excited, then immediately let down after riding them.
When frozen got overlaid I was sorta excited for the change, and was amazed with what they did to it over such a crap ride. If they enhance frozen with newer AAs and fill in some of the blanks of the ride, it'd be pretty good. But as it sits now, it's pretty meh

Never been during Christmas week. Only times I've been to parks that have the ride were the third week of June 2023 (DCA) and the third week of July 2024 (DHS). Both times we've decided not to do it because of the wait time. In 2024 at DHS it was stretching out of the built queue into an outdoor extended queue.You've never seen less than a 2 hour wait for TSM?

Just unlucky. It currently has a 15-minute wait, as an example.

Frozen is worse than Maelstrom, though (and I was never a gigantic fan of Maelstrom).

Reminiscent of the World outside the Disney World we live in right now, people just live and thrive off trolling and lying. Over and over until they get to the point that they start believing their delusional trolls and lies they keep spewing to others.
I will donate to you (whoever you are) $1,000 if Indiana Jones taking over Dinosaur does not happen.

You mean just like the Indy ride in Disneyland that is highly beloved? .... lol ....
From my knowledge off my head there is an Indy AA in the beginning flailing his arms and one at the end. And one on a rope hanging that just shakes.
And then one big snake AA
That's literally what you just described, minus the shaking AA on a rope. And that ride seems to be the top of the list of many theme park fans.
(If there are more AA's and I am having a brain fart, someone please correct me!)

You get the crown of demonstrating why people shouldn't cite or rely purely on anecdotal evidence.

popular ≠ world-class.
and I'm saying this with all due respect to the author and knowing that determining what's the best dark ride(s) is a highly subjective endeavor, but any list that calls Little Mermaid the Magic Kingdom's best non-PotC dark ride is not credible enough proof of your assertion
none of the standard Fantasyland dark rides use actual AAs - mainly just limited-motion or static figures and plywood cutouts - yet not only do you have the long-time WDWers lamenting their Toad's eviction to this day, but Peter Pan draws in high demand and long wait times no matter where it is. hardly world-class by any means, yet that doesn't matter when the execution is just that good enough to win over guests of all generations

And that's considered such a superior attraction to Dinosaur, which has LOTS of animatronics, that Disney has decided to turn Dinosaur into another Indiana Jones ride? Yeah, not exactly filled with confidence...
