Most Underrated Attraction

[Kate F]

We all have that one attraction that we feel doesn't get enough love and appreciation.

The most underrated in my opinion is the Peoplemover. I know a lot of people love this ride but it still seems to constantly get overlooked, and doesn't really get mentioned much when talking about the best of WDW. For me though, this ride makes Tomorrowland and really brings out the feeling of "being there". I think it is as much of a must-do as the mountains.

What do you all think is the most underrated attraction in WDW?

I'd pick Dinosaur. It's not Indy, but it's well-developed thematically in terms of the details and story of the Dino Institute, and the animatronics are excellent.

We really enjoy taking a leisurely cruise aboard the Liberty Belle around Tom Sawyer Island along the Rivers of America. It's just nice and relaxing and there's something quite special about seeing the crowds in Frontierland whilst the breeze blows in your face and you pass them. The views of BTM are also pretty cool and if you ride it at night you get a completely different experience

that's hard. I'm a big fan of a lot of attractions that don't seem to be appreciated. COP in Tomorrowland is one. I, too, like Liberty Square Riverboat. I'm also a big fan of Tiki Birds. At Epcot, I like Universe of Energy, Living with the Land, much preferred the original Journey to Imagination to any later version. I love the Great Movie Ride, Indy. Dinosaur is a good suggestion at DAK. Huge fan of Kali, obviously.

Living with the Land. Soarin's great, but LwtL is the pavilion's real E-ticket.

The Canada and France movies.

Swiss Family Treehouse, Tom Sawyer Island. Just because you get to walk doesn't make these secondary attractions.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Best show on property.

Gotta say I do enjoy that though BATB beats it for me and yet many folk on here hate that.

 

[SteveAZee]

The American Adventure for me. It hits all the right emotional chords, it's entertaining, is multimedia, and has comfy chairs.

I think BatB would benefit tremendously from being indoors. A/C and theatrical lighting can do so much!

I know a lot of people hate on the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, but the fact is the ride is a hoot. Even if it's exactly the same as Dumbo, it's super fun to be up in the air and the line is way shorter than Dumbo. And it's near the dole whips....

Some really good ones already posted. One I will throw out there is actually as how, but Flights of Wonder in the Animal Kingdom is fantastic. I am not a "show" guy, but my family convinces me from time to time to take one in. FOW was great, lots of fun interaction with the audience, some really good laughs, and even educational for the kids.

It's been quite a while since I've seen some of these shows. I really need to see the American Adventure again! I definitely agree with Living with the Land and Dinosaur. I'd also like to throw in Philharmagic, even though I think it needs an update.

 

[Magenta Panther]

I agree with WondersOfLife about Laugh Floor. It's a lot of fun and a real crowd-pleaser.

I still love Maelstrom. There was just something about it. The beginning of the ride - going up the ascent with Odin's eye strobing over you...that was frickin' amazing. Cool ride for what it was. Ah well...

And YES, Philharmagic. One of the most genuinely Disney attractions at WDW. Reminds you of what REAL Disney magic is. Who needs Lucas and Henson and Cameron? More attractions that have the same atmosphere as Philharmagic are what WDW needs. And frankly, I think that's what most WDW guests WANT.

Philharmagic was the ride I first thought of when I saw this thread. I think it hits it out of the park and it truely is exactly what I want when I go to Disney. No ride brings the magic more for me than that one.

 

[Brer Panther]

All great choices here. I agree that the Peoplemover, Laugh Floor, and Dinosaur are great rides.

I'd like to bring up Winnie the Pooh. It gets a lot of flack because it replaced Mr. Toad (and because Tokyo's version clearly had a higher budget), but I think it's a great ride.

 

[Edward M]

MK: Peoplemover for general guests but Pooh for Disney fans. Most Disney fans love Peoplemover so I'm not sure it's underrated. However, Pooh seems pretty hated for replacing Mr Toad. It was my favorite ride as a kid and remains a great ride.
Epcot: American Adventure. One of Disney World's best attractions if you ask me.
HS: Muppets. It's the only good attraction with no wait so always a must at HS.
AK: Dinosaur. After hearing lukewarm reviews towards it, I thought it would be ok, but I was blown away by how exciting it was. After Indiana Jones, it's not quite as impressive but still a great attraction that deserves more praise.

 

[Fingal O'Flahertie]

Wedway.... the Peoplemover is amazing. Relaxing and great people watching.

After that... I think I would have to go with... Peter Pan or Living with the Land

Yeah... Living with the Land.

 

[copcarguyp71]

It really is a tie for me.

American Adventure because of the content, presentation and superlative AA's

Flights of Wonder because it really is a lot of fun and educational. I know this is possibly the least popular besides Triceratop Spin in AK but our family never misses it and always has a great time.
