Not at all. Didn't bother to ride Energy, even in the heat and the possibility of it closing. You can't even compare the two. My kids, 8 and 3, who have only seen a few of the movies, love this ride into the movies. It could use some love, but it's still relevant to enough people that wait times run from 15-45 minutes regularly. Clearly surveys were designed to doom this attraction.You rode it last week. In July. It's hot outside. With air conditioning inside. How long is the ride? 30 minutes? Yeah, I would go on that and the 45 minute Energy as it currently exists on a hot summer afternoon in July also.
We can debate how good or bad GMR is all day, but that's not even important here. The truth is DHS needs more attractions, and GMR seems like a silly place to start. How are Indy or Launch Bay going to remain once the park is renamed and SWL opens? Sure it's cheaper to gut GMR for this, but is that best long term?
Disney used to add attractions to spread out crowds and give guests something new to experience. Now it's just reusing what's already there, regardless of whether something needs replacing or not. Crowds keep growing, capacity stays the same or even lessens. Terrible plan IMO.
