Be careful about saying that. I just got finished with a very heated discussion regarding that very fact.Ironically, the shortened ride time gave us a shorter, sweeter Nemo that doesn't suffer from an overbloated ride "plot" that doesn't make any sense...kind of like our very own SGE! :lol:
True, but it's still dragging sloooooooooowly...
Yea. I don't understand why everyone is so down on Nemo. I think it's a quality attraction.
I agree that SSE is dragging on, but I have faith in the guys that are working on it.

You say it like M:S, TSM, and E:E are like walk on attractions in that they never have any lines. M:S maybe, but the other 2 hardly. I dont know which park you're visiting and where you're getting your info from, but once again its just your opinion and doesnt really prove anything.

Clearly too much information for you: The area after the ride ISN'T a "Victorian version of Andy's Room" it's supposed to be the office area of the manager who owns the shop below, who's child has put out the playset.
PLEASE EXPLAIN:
How does a giant Mr. Potato Head toy get onto a Victorian-era Boardwalk?
:lookaroun
They both have problems, so admit them, admit they're both great attractions, say your peace, then pipe down and move on.

Going back to Mission:Space, worst E-ticket ever? Hardly. You need to remember some of the things at the Magic Kingdom that were considered e-tickets when they started.
Mission:Space's liftoff simulation is superb, IMO. The first time I rode it, I actually did call out to my crew (my family), to report in to verify they were still conscious. Only problem I see with the ride is that it's too short.

Ok first of all the attraction ends abruptly because you are TRAINING for a trip to mars. There not sending you to mars and leaving you there. The ride DOES have a theme and story but I guess you didn't pay attention because you would have known that it is a TRAINING. The graphics aren't supposed to be real because in the story of the ride you aren't actually in space. So the graphics don't matter. You may not think it is exciting but that's your opinion and I'm not going to tell you what you should like but I'm just explaining that it isn't actually meant to be a real trip to mars.
Second of all, you really feel like you are flying in space on Star Tours compared to Mission Space? I doubt that. Mission Space is the most realistic Simulator I have ever been on. Star Tours isn't close to feeling real but then again it really isn't supposed to be "realistic".

I love Nemo. I think the attraction is great and has probably one of the best atmosphere when waiting in line than any other ride at Disney World. I am upset about it though. The reason is because I see Epcot as a place that shouldn't include attractions based on films. It is a place that showcases new things and is educational. The Living Seas has so much potential for that but The Seas With Nemo kind of took away from the whole Epcot Feel. That's how I feel about it and I'm sure that's why a lot of people are down about it. It isn't the quality of it but rather the location. Other than that the attraction in itself is great and probably could have fit better someplace else (I don't know where though)

Ugh. I'm going to catch flak for this...but EPCOT Center was a failure. I loved it don't get me wrong, but the idea behind it is dead. The edutainment failed, and unfortunately we have to live with it.

Well, In a way I agree. I hate how they took Walt's Idea for Epcot and the only thing that is similar is the name. If they weren't going to build it how Walt wanted it and made it just a theme park then they should have at least made it look like a futuristic city with WEDway people mover that transported people around. It would have made it much better in my opinion. I think "Failure" is a little too strong word to use but i think the thing that doesn't make Epcot necessarily work well is World Showcase. World Showcase would have been an awesome park just on it's own and would have had a lot of potential. I don't see why they needed to combine the two. They know that have a lot of room for more parks so I really wish they didn't combine them and stuck as true to Walt's idea as much as they could. Personally I don't think Walt would be happy with it. It sounds like I'm bashing Epcot but I'm not. I love Epcot but it is what it is and there are things that work and there are things that don't and I just don't think the Nemo thing does work. But that's just how I see it.

Something educational AND fun.
Entertain...Inspire...Inform.
How could they loose a vision so simple?
Now there's someone who gets it! :sohappy:
On the note of Gran Fiesta Tour, this is an issue that bothers me alot. I know some people thought the previous version was boring(though I didn't), but at least it was actually about Mexico! They could have refurbed it very nicely without all the 3 cabs business. Being Mexican myself, I was unhappy the first time I rode the newer version. Donald doesn't belong there, just as an Aladdin ride wouldn't belong in Morrocco and a Mulan ride wouldn't belong in China.
Okay, I'm done.

Hold your horses. It'll happen. Siemens just needs to fork over a little more cash.
Thats your OPINION that they are good attractions its going to be up to the general public to decide if they are great but I can tell you this...no non-fan will be booking a trip to WDW to check out TSMM.

As the centrepiece ride of Epcot, I'm guessing there was a lot of pressure to reopen Spaceship Earth. I think there is a large possibility of further enhancements eventually; perhaps Disney, wanting to keep downtime to a minimum reopened with the foundationsin place to go back later and make improvements.
So what I guess I'm saying is that there is a very good chance for improvements, but it is probably all dependent on the availiablility of funds.
Someone should throw some in SSE's direction *cough*Siemens*Cough*
I was being sarcastic - go back and read all the SSE threads; local management wanted the attraction open for Christmas. It wasn`t the first time Orlando overode Glendale. The project wasn`t complete, was behind schedule and over budget. WDI wanted it closed through to February as originally planned. The final touches are being done in the small window during 3rd shift that allows access. It wasn`t Siemens fault.

Carsland, TLM, and the water show. Awesome.
The rest...umm...WHAT?
Why would they remove the Golden Gate Bridge from the entrance to "CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE?" Instead, they clone Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Sun Wheel gets Mickey's Head instead of a sun. Is the Orange Stinger gone in place of an ordinary Swing ride (Silly Symphonies)? The Maliboomer will now look like one of those fake tree Nextel towers with yet another Parachute ride (rumored to be the Green Army Men). (Isn't Jumpin' Jellyfish the same thing?)
Mulholland Madness will just get a retheme to Goofy.
Why is NOBODY screaming about a Character Invasion here?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
I guess it's ok to have a character invasion (basically overnight) in DLR but don't EVER think about it at WDW.
Basically Paradise Pier is now "DISNEY PIER" and the entrance will not look "unique" anymore.
Why are people so excited about this? I'm personally disappointed that a billion dollars is being spent and this is "ALL" we're getting. Couldn't a billion dollars build an entire park? I love TLM, Carsland, and the nighttime show...but the rest seems like it is being done on the cheap. (Just like DCA vs. TDS was.)

The reason so many people are down on the Nemo ride at Epcot is because it's a cheap, one step above a carnival quality ride that consists of nothing more than projectors and monitors, minimal scenic elements, lame fabric jellyfish and an industrial robot.
You certainly have a right to your opinion but I personally can understand how anyone can like this ride that resides in the same entertainment complex as attractions like Tower of Terror, Haunted Mansion and It's Tough to be a Bug.
