What is a controversial or an unpopular theme park opinion you have?
I actually liked the Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management. The Iago and Zazu AA's were awesome.What is a controversial or an unpopular theme park opinion you have?
I agree.Pandora is stupid and boring. One pretty good ride, one pretty but nothing ride, way too much $ spent on all of it. I get my fp, ride it, leave.

I don't care much for the immersive lands (ex. Pandora and SWGE) that are built. My reasons are as follows:
1. A great deal of money is spent to only have two rides and a ton of scenery.
2. For the same amount of money, multiple rides could be added and each one themed successfully.
3. Not every land requires concrete rock sculpturing to feel "real".
4. Though I can appreciate the attempt at immersion, I never truly feel that I have been transported to an alien planet or another galaxy.
Another unpopular opinion I have: In trying to make Animal Kingdom authentic, I find myself thinking that it looks junky and beat-up. To the point that I don't want to use the restrooms for fear of picking up a disease. As if cholera or dysentery are also lurking at every water fountain. I love the animals and their enclosures but not the majority of the park's theme.

Especially with Epic Universe coming out Disney has to step up their game.Wizarding World of Harry Potter, specifically Diagon Alley, knocked it out of the park (no pun intended). Disney, however, has dropped the ball on all of their themed lands. I don't find them immersive at all, where when I'm in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade I actually feel like I've been transported to a magical world and really give into the escapism.
Kind of hard to pull off #4 when you don't do #s 1 and 3. Just sayin'. I'd imagine that if you add more rides, it would feel less like you were transported to an alien planet or galaxy because it's not like another planet would have more rides. You have to suspend reality a bit in order to immerse yourself and feel "transported". When riding Pirates, do you really feel like you've been transported hundreds of years earlier and to the Caribbean? On Rock N Rollercoaster, do you feel like you're in a limo on the way to a concert, and are you horribly disappointed when you get to the concert, and you just walk out into a theme park? Of all things Disney might not be doing well lately, I feel like immersion isn't high on the list.I don't care much for the immersive lands (ex. Pandora and SWGE) that are built.

I agree 100% I love Disney World but I also love Universal. Universal might win me over more often because it is cheaper and you can walk to the parks if you stay on property.I say that as a complete and total Disney World apologist too. Despite the current conditions, I still love and adore WDW, mostly because of the fact that it offers escapism in a bubble and first-class nostalgia. However, while I'll take it over Universal (even when Epic opens), there isn't a better land on the planet than the combination of Harry Potter lands.
I agree. I still love and really miss Great Movie Ride but Runaway Railway is better.Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is better then the Great Movie Ride.
PS: Please don’t throw pitchforks.

My unpopular opinion is that I feel like we've done these "unpopular opinion" threads to death.
Another really unpopular opinion... I feel like we (including me) Disney fans are a tad nitpicky sometimes.
