Which is unfortunate. That scenario sort of reminds me of people who refuse to watch horror films and prefer comedies, or people who only watch action/superhero films and cast aside musicals, etc.
There’s nothing wrong with preferences (you wouldn’t take a toddler on Tot for instance just like you wouldn’t take them to see Saving Private Ryan), but I think as a forum, we’re obviously very in-tune with themed design as an art form and more appreciative of all types (walkthroughs, coasters, etc.)
There’s a lot of great stuff in every genre so it’s a shame to cast one type out, which is why I think it’s not tactful to go recommending people what style of ride personally suits you when we’re comparing rides; it just makes everything even harder to discuss . When gauging what art is amongst the best and should be recommended to be watched/experienced I think it’s best that people rating art cast aside their prejudices unless we’re talking about them specifically versus broad general statements.
I’m not saying that that’s what happens, only that it’s what everyone should strive to do.
Speaking for my parents, they get sick on simulators or sceen-based rides, but will still admit that Forbidden Journey was phenomenal, just not for them.
On that note, I think anyone that appreciates themed design that’s familiar with Journey Into Imagination would accept the idea that it was amongst Disney’s best rides ever when it was made and would likely still be a great ride today if it received proper updates since its bones were so good.
That being said, (trying to cast my personal feeling aside) I still don’t think it would top some of the newer large-scale ‘elite’ rides in Orlando like Hagrid’s, Cosmic Rewind, or Rise, and I don’t think it’s close. And that’s okay, but you’re free to disagree with me obviously.
Though the RnRC is better than Guardians comment someone made is blasphemy
