This needs this..
That's why I dubbed it the Pennywise Slide.."We Guarantee you will Float!"The clown was terrible, but this seems pretty bad too.

You're right, it's subjective. If location is your #1 priority, Boardwalk is great – it certainly beats AKL.
My personal ranking looks something like this:
- Wilderness Lodge
- Polynesian Village
- Grand Floridian
- Beach Club / Yacht Club
- Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Contemporary
- Boardwalk

If location wasn't an issue, Animal Kingdom Lodge would definitely rank #1 for me. As it is, I'd probably rank them like this, although with some of the changes they're making to the GF it may not keep that spot.
1. Grand Floridian
2. Boardwalk Inn
3. Animal Kingdom Lodge
4. Beach/Yacht Club
5. Wilderness Lodge
6. Polynesian Village
7. Contemporary
The Contemporary is comfortably in last because other than the location next to the MK and the monorail through the lobby, there's just not much interest there. It had a lot more going for it back in the 70s/80s. The other 6 could easily shift positions on any given day because they're pretty similar overall. Wilderness Lodge gets bumped down a bit like Animal Kingdom solely because of the location/transportation.

Goofy taking the fall for the typo. Typical Disney.
Is it possible they changed the spelling so it is a name. If they keep it keister then it would be called the butt coaster.

But that is exactly what it is
They purposely are using the 'keister' appellation. It was a popular euphemism for the three letter word that begins with 'a' and is a synonym for 'mule.'
It was especially used in vaudeville comedy routines. It's used a bit on the The Simpsons.

I'm torn between "ugh, more IP where it doesn't belong" and "the clown was creepy and Keister Coaster is kind of funny"

Yeah -- the clown needed to go, but there were plenty of other options beyond adding Mickey and friends. Especially since they went with the new weird Mickey instead of the classic design, although classic Mickey would have been a slight improvement at best.

That's going in at Surfside/Dockside.

I still think a glowing hoop with a lion or tiger theme would have been cool and keeping with the whole circus theme.

That sounds cool, but I think Disney rightly wants to steer clear of circus animals when possible.
That's a releif!

Eh, I prefer the clown, that at least was interesting, this sort of looks like a temporary thing, nothing tactile to it, just a flat wall no lights or anything. Something more 3 dimensional would have been so much more fun. Its also distracting that it doesn't really seem to match the real wood of the slide(why have cartoon depiction of the slide literally in front of the real slide). If they are doing this, I feel they should repaint the wood around the slide, to add more red, and make it look fresher. All in all, considering how long the slide has been out of commission this is disappointing.
