"Meh" attractions...

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.

What's with all of the "stitch" and other lower-class attraction postings?? Last time I checked, these attractions were never classified as 'popular'! .-.

Definitely Mission Space. I remember the first time I went on it I was like, "This is all it is?" Basically the world's most expensive Gravitron from carnivals with video screens. It's just boring. It's not even fun like the Gravitron because the fact that it's a centrifuge isn't emphasized, it's just used to push you in your seat so you can watch a boring video.

And Rockin' Roller Coaster. I love the concept and love Aerosmith's music but for some reason my head always gets banged around into the shoulder restraints and I'm left with a massive headache. It's a shame because I would love it otherwise. I've seen other posts saying it's a smooth ride and I wonder what I'm doing wrong??

Finally.. Someone else who has described this ride exactly as I would!!

Jungle Cruise, Tiki Room, and Country Bear are NOT 'meh' attractions. They are pure Disney World, to me anyway. I'd give the 'Meh' awards to mainly Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, then Imagination (it pains me to say that but I just close my eyes and pretend I'm in the original), and Test Track 2.0. Those are the more glaring ones for me. Test Track 1.0 had a cool theme and had a foreboding danger to it that made it a better experience. Now it seems...whitewashed.

I chose Jungle Cruise because so far its been a 50/50 chance of having a decent skipper or not.. And the attraction certainly relies on the skipper.

Tiki Room, Country Bears and Imagination shouldn't technically even be on here because they aren't considered overly popular.. but.. Some people can just read the title and just go on instead of reading the actual post. No biggie. :p

They're absolutely "meh" to me. Why? Each of them is incredibly boring, with the lamest and most outdated of animatronics, and have absolutely no charm or whimsy to them that might make them worthwhile. At least Buzz Lightyear gives you something to do and keep you entertained (even if I do max out the score early into the ride).

Well, Country Bear Jamboree has some pretty good AAs... They're just not refurbed as much and as well as Tokyo's.. Look at some really old videos of CBJ and it's in great shape!

CBJ also would be better with the two seasonal shows in rotation which featured christmas, and modern country music. (CBJ: Vacation Hoedown, CBJ: Christmas Special)

But right now in its current state... Yea, it's "meh."

To each their own. I find them incredibly entertaining. Sorry you don't like them. I find them filled with charm and whimsy. You're missin' out.

I read the OPs intention as...list your over-rated attractions, not just the bad ones. Over-rated implies that something is popular, but you find it disappointing. Therefore Stitch, Ellen's Energy Adv., etc., don't really apply. Anyway here are mine:
Toy Story Midway Mania - the lines and fp+ demand just don't match up with the ride.
Kilimanjaro Safari - I'd like it better if I did it every 5th trip or so.
Mission Space - if you've ridden it once, you ridden it a thousand times.
Finding Nemo - it's just a slow, boring way to get inside The Living Seas

Well having actually experienced them, and not liking them, I know I'm not missing anything. Glad you enjoy them though.
