Most disappointing attraction?

MK-stitch and country bears....I understand the criticism of PPF...but to me it's classic and one of my favorite movies. I just make sure I do it late at night and don't wait for it.
Epcot-mission space (lame), journey into imagination (just sad), and the worst is captain EO (creepy).
HS-lights, motor, action....one and done. Muppets vision 3d....not funny just obnoxious.
AK-nemo musical....Dinoland.

After breezing over this thread, I am shocked nobody nominated Universe of Energy. This is by far the worst most disappointing attraction of all. As underwhelming some of the other attractions mentioned here can be, I can still enjoy them - Universe of Energy on the other hand, I have not been on in over 10 years. Just to make sure I wasn't missing something, I just tried to watch a video of it before I posted it. I didn't finish it.

7DMT. Just... disappointing. The inside part of the mine with the gems is beautiful, though.

Still never been on Soarin' or Test Track, Spaceship Earth, PPF, and my DF refuses to ride Stitch's Great Escape so I guess I'll never know about that one!

My only disappointment with Mine Train was its length. It's a fine ride, but surprisingly short. It was over before it began!

I was disappointed by the Imagination refurbishment, though not as much as the Figment-free version. That was godawful. The new one is just sort of mediocre.

The Nemo ride is sort of "just okay" as well. It's fine. It's short. It gets you to the aquariums to look around. They must have anticipated it being a smash hit, based on the bizarrely long queue designed for it, which is always empty.

For what it's worth, I enjoy the 40 minutes of relaxation in the air conditioning that Energy provides, and hey, dinosaurs! And I love Captain EO dearly :)

It's funny, because I felt like the Mine Train was longer than some of the other coasters I really like (Rock 'N Rollercoaster...), but that was probably because I was getting pelted with rain and wondering when the coaster was going inside the mountain.

Shoot me now, but I think Journey Into Your Imagination wasn't as bad as it's made out to be. However, when I rode it I was only like five, so most of my opinion is based off what I see from videos of it. I think it was much more "imaginative" in that incarnation, with the starfield and whatnot. Especially the starfield. The new ride just feels like "A Planned Journey Into Imagination That Gets Trolled by Figment".

It's literally the most boring ride ever, with the only good part being the end where they project into aquarium. It gets even worse when you get stuck in the part where they're saying "Look Mr. Ray, it's Nemo!" for 10 minutes...

Ellen's Energy Adventure is just dated, I think it's a good concept. Update the dino animatronics, make a film that doesn't scream "The 90's!" and it's good for business. The ride got boring after the Exxon sponsorship was dropped, because we could always get into a VIP room with my grandfather then. :p

And all hail Captain EO! We are here to change the world!

I have fond memories of the original Journey Into Imagination ride from the 80s (yes, I'm kinda old), so while the starfield was indeed cool, gutting the original and dumping Figment was a bizarre, awful idea. And yeah, the new ride is... not great.

It's my goal to one day get into a VIP room :)
Quick Energy story. I once went to Epcot during Food & Wine with some friends; one got a bit drunk, rode Mission: Space, and then got on Energy. About five minutes into the 'ride', he got up and stumbled out, and threw up near the exit. The staff excitedly took him into the VIP area and got their "incident report" book out, which had the old Epcot logos on it and had clearly not been used in a very very long time. They said "nothing ever happens on this ride!"

For what it's worth, on a recent trip with first-timers, one travel mate was incredibly thrilled to do Family Robinson Treehouse. She grew up with the movie and loved climbing the tree. It isn't exactly an exciting attraction, but it is what it is :)


That's nice for her though, I suppose it would be good for people who like the movie!

I'll be prepared to be pelted with bits of flotsam and jetsam, but I'll tender "Enchanted Tales with Belle" The picture portal effect was neat, but it went down hill rapidly after that. Not even a good meet n greet.

I have to agree with Kali River Rapids. It just doesn't compare to other raft rides especially that other one down the road a little ways. ;)

Stitch's Great Escape. Bet you didn't see that one coming! :p

Peter Pan's Flight mainly because it just seems so dated and a nice touch up would surely get it off this list.

To be honest all of DHS with the exception of TOT, Star Tours, Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, One Man's Dream, and Toy Story. I really hope this won't be the case in the coming years.


I don't nderstand why you don't like DHS. After all you just said you liked every attraction operating in the park. ;)
