Least favorite attraction at EPCOT.

[Walter]

Everybody talks about the attractions that they like, I was just wondering which ones you didn't like. I'm going to open the polls for ten days, then take the "loser" from each park, and see which attraction is the worst at WDW. If this has already been done, then I'm sorry.

OOPS I misunderstood the question...I love HISTA but didn't care for the new Figment ride.

My least favorite isn't up there. It's definatly Universe of Energy. Ellen just is not funny and the presentation goes on for much too long. Since it wasn't up there, I voted for O Canada.

How could I forget that one!? :brick: I can only put fifteen up, anyway.

Alot of stuff that didn't need to be on this list. Like two Canadas.
Your list should have been more simple like

Spaceship Earth
Universe of Energy
Body Wars
Cranium Command
Test Track
Living Seas
Living With The Land
Food Rocks
Journey into Imagination with Figment
Honey I Shrunk the Audience
El Rio De Tiempo
Maelstrom
Reflections of China
Impressions de France
O Canada

Anyways I guess it really doesn't matter. The only bad thing was you forgot Energy...which I happen to like anyways

OOPS! One of them was supposed to be the China show.

Body Wars makes me nauseated. The first time I rode it, I wanted it to be over so bad.

 

[rokcandy]

Maelstrom...I just have bad memories of that ride from when I was really young. :lol:

 

[WDW1971]

Of the ones listed, Food Rocks and Kitchen Kabaret are my least favorites. Personally, I like O Canada...it just needs updating, IMO.

 

[General Grizz]

Yup...O'Canada, I think, is actually better than a few of those, but I'm not saying which! :lol: I basically say that because I find it inspiring...and the song is so beautiful.

Wonders of Life

You should have just put the whole pavilion name on it because personally, I voted for Body Wars but I would have voted for Wonders of Life if that was a choice. I can't wait until they shut that waste of a pavilion down.

I agree, kenny!

I don't get it...Wonders of Life is pretty much a model pavilion.

(1) It's extremely detailed, well done, and very informative with things for everyone to do.

(2) It has its own Animatronic show, which is one of the best blends of comedy and information

(3) It has a thrill ride.

If only the other pavilions could work with those three tools, not only would everyone be "happy," but EPCOT would probably be a much better place theory-wise.

Just my opinion.

How could so few people vote for El River de Tiempo? This ride is outdated, slow, boring, and just bland.

The world showcase is one of my favorite parts of Epcot, especially at night. I just don't understand how Disney could let the only two rides in this area (River and Maelstorm) be so bad.

How cool would it be to have a mayan themed thrill ride within the Mexican Pavillon?


Ah...Well

Ah...Well

If you're ever down in Houston, Texas visit Six Flags Astroworld. They have just such a ride...the Mayan Mindbender.

Well you see. Here is the problem. The pavilion is pretty much the same since it opened. The rides have not been improved and are showing their age. For example, Cranium Command. The people in that are from the 80's. THeir clothes show it. Now if this ride were to be re-done in a way where it would never seem dated, then I bet the audience would be.... I mean there would actually be an audience.

And then body wars. It was one of the first simulator rides.The ride film really shows this. This ride would greatly be re-done using the best of CG-animation. Not only would the ride then seem more real, but then more people would come to ride this.

Now if I had say on what Disney should do, I wold demolish the pavilion and add a modernized version of Horizons or something interesting.

Same here. I hate Universe of Energy. Its fun and it smells real bad. That is the only thing i remember about it. The only good thing about that ride is that me and my dad go get fast passes for Test Track while my mom and my sis sit there and wait. last time i think we waited fot lik 25 mins and it was a waste of time. Its not a good presentation. Much to long.

Oh, of course it can use improvement. But their approach for a family-friendly-oriented pavilion in the late 80s was right on target.
