Least Favorite Queue in Any Park Ever

[mickEblu]

So how’s my second favorite area of the park doing? The Roaring Rapids area?

So do I. They voices annoys the heck out of me. I can't even watch the DM series

That area is still charming and the ride still delivers.

The problem with Ninja's queue is it looks like a dead ride area. You can still see the track remains of the dragon vehicle that went up and down the mountain. It also doesn't help the paint and banners are distingrating right before your eyes. It's a very ackward space.

Dont mind the minions themselves. Maybe because I grew up with the rabbids (minions before minions), but the ride itself is jerky and the ride system has not aged well.

Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket, hasta.

Agree. My problem isn’t necesssriiy with the IP although they don’t really do anything for me either

Gotta be Primeval Whirl, although at least the ride makes up for it. /s

Don’t you dare to say anything bad about Dinoland, it’s Joe Rhode’s baby! Don’t you know how long it took to make the parking lot look cracked!

Lol I remember that tweet. It’s like “ok Joe but maybe people don’t pay to go Disney World to go to a school carnival on a parking lot.”

Escapism bruh.

Oh cool. So can you make a mean burger?

Ya that was a terrible move on their part.

The burgers I cooked there sold for $18-22, so they were certainly priced with the assumption they were good. I actually think FTSB's burgers are better then Outback Steakhouse's burgers- another location where I spent some time as a grill cook.

A bit of a side note- but I will say the quality of food dramatically increased with the Full Throttle Sports Bar. They switched from cheap frozen patties to decent quality 1/3 lbs angus beef fresh never frozen patties. They also upgraded the bun from the cheap white with sesame seeds to Brioche buns made by Turano.

The fries are (or were when I worked there) cut in house, soaked overnight to eliminate the starch (helps stop them from being soggy), and twice fried ( technique called "blanching") to help them be crispy with a good texture on the inside. Initially, FTSB made a special seasoning in house that was phenomenal. It used ranch dressing seasoning packets as a base and added additional seasoning. Sadly, management switched to a 50/50 Lawry's Seasoned Salt and regular Morton's table salt blend. Still a huge improvement over the freezer to fryer steak fries Mooseburger sold.

And fortunately, not all of Mooseburger is lost. The tables and chairs upstairs are still Mooseburger's, management didn't pay to switch out all of them when they remodeled.

Interesting. I was like 12 the last time I ate at Mooseburger so I didn’t know anything about food but I remember liking it because it reminded me of a restaurant version of the Country Bear Playhouse.

It is definitely a generic Country Bear style restaurant. I'll never forget the song "I need a little crisp moose" sung to the tune of I need a Little Christmas by the mooseheads on the walls.



Apparently the employees used to do a song and dance as well, if this old training video is any indication:



Definitely a far more family friendly environment then a sports bar- a sports bar without a kid's menu since the manager wanted it to be adult's only, and didn't want to encourage kids. Lots of complaints about that one from parents.

I've only been to the sports bar, and maybe my lack of experience has a lot to say about this, but I'd rather have the sports bar environment than this.

Yes, if memory serves, the banners had disintegrated by the early 2000's. As of last year the same are still there, just rods and a few shreds of fabric, and that probably hasn't changed. At least it's shaded I suppose.

TBH I thought the ripped banners were part of the theming.
I actually quite liked ninja's theming. Maybe it's the trees combined with the steep walk that made me think ninja.
X2 did not make me think prison (I'm assuming that's the "theme" of that ride anyways).

Problem is most of the trees have been taken away since Ninja started hitting them. Big over reaction to never taking care of the surroundings. They could have easily trimmed them back instead of leaving stumps everywhere.

Another queue that I hate is the Simpsons ride queue. First you stand outside watching cartoons in at least two lines. Then you are inside looking at flats and more cartoons. Then your in a little room with strangers. Too many starts and stops.

Sounds like Magic Mountain peaked in the early 2000s

I don't know about that. They've been doing alot of cleanup, fixes and additions in the last five years. A lot of the trees were overgrown but they really should have put some funds toward landscaping.
