Rides in the Wrong Park?

You're right, there's absolutely no sense of adventure in a ride that takes you through a lush jungle and carries you on 4 of the worlds most exotic rivers, while simultaneously being attacked by hippos and natives, and seeing plenty of animals. :rolleyes:

Oh, you must be mistaken. I'm talking about the ridiculously slow-moving, boring boat-on-a-track ride in which you simply move along past some of THE worst, outdated, and fake-looking animatronic animals that you could possibly find in all of WDW. This is the same ride that doesn't take you through anything remotely resembling a "lush jungle", anything close to the "world's most exotic rivers", all the while being forced to sit with an extremely UN-funny boat skipper (and they're ALL un-funny) telling the worst jokes possible. (And each of the past 3 times I've been dragged onto the ride with the group I was with, not ONE person in our group or of the other riders laughed at the skipper.) That's not adventure.....that's torture. :rolleyes:

I never said RnRC should be moved! Could you find a quote please? Would love to see it.
It is too bad if I don't like it! What can I do about it! Out of God knows how many attractions there are in WDW I named 2. I'm not going to protest and get them moved. Too bad I think they should be "moved", nothing I could ever do to change it.
What am I doing explaining myself to someone mixing up my words. Getting mad over a topic on a WDW forum. My apologies.

Okay I understand, my apologies also. Everyone see a ride that makes them say "shouldn't that be there."
Now let's tune in to SirGoofy and Disneyjunkie..

Really? They're all un-funny(which isn't a word, by the way)? Well I would take that as an insult, but I always have people laughing for the duration of my cruise. And I always unload guests laughing and having fun from my fellow skippers boats, so I guess we all are not, in fact, "un-funny." Are there skippers that are not funny? Sure.

And it would be impossible to have realistic AAs on the JC, because they use hydraulic fluid, and cannot be placed near an open water source, or you run the risk of contamination. Plus the tackiness of the animals is half the fun, along with our bad jokes. That's the point buddy. It's supposed to be corny.

Yes, they are all un-funny (which IS a word, by the way). Unless you personally designed, built, and maintain the ride as your personal property.....it's not an insult to you. Of course, I can't help people taking that how they choose. I doubt your claim of "always" is accurate.....as its entirely possible that you could have been one of the skippers on one of my unwilling rides. Sorry, I find nothing "fun" about tacky, poorly done animatronics or the bad jokes. There's "corny stupid" and "corny cute".......I've yet to see "corny cute" with the Jungle Cruise.

Nonetheless.....MANY, MANY people love and cherish this attraction. I understand that and have no problem with it. My point is just in expressing why I can't stand it.

Nope. I always have people laughing when I deliver a Jungle Cruise. Okay, except when I have a Brazilian tour group. But then again, I'm laughing on those. :p

Also, you never told me why Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain belong in MK with their lack of well-known characters.

Rock n Roller Coaster is a roller coaster like all Six Flags parks has but they could never produce something as great before Disney could.

Most of the rollercoasters found in Six Flags parks are far superior to anything that Disney has to offer...Disney does the themeing better, yes, but as for the ride itself, sorry, but Disney doesn't have anything on it. and the technology used in Rock 'n' Rollercoaster was in use at Six Flags and other theme parks before Disney even started designing it. When Disney has only four custom-designed rollercoasters in three of its Florida parks combined and Most Six Flags parks have more than five (on average) in EACH of their 12 parks, your statement is almost laughable. Technically speaking, Rock 'n' Rollercoaster isn't even an exclusive design to Disney, as there is at least one other non-Disney park that has the same coaster. Also, Goofy"s Barnstormer and The Primeval Whirl coasters don't count "cause they are "off the shelf" coasters that can be found in several other non-Disney parks.

Are people just going to keep on picking every single one of my posts down to the bone to prove they are right?! :brick::brick::brick:
I am referring to the theming, onride audio, pre-show, story line, upkeep, reliability. Don't try to get all roller coaster smart on me. I know my fair share of coasters too. :D
Second of all, I said SIX FLAGS. Yes they have some great coasters but let's take a closer look. I have been to 4 Six Flags Parks and not one coaster has showed what Rock n Roller Coaster shows. And when I say coaster, I meant he whole coaster (operators, themeing, technology, story....) The only Six Flags owned coaster's that I can see having just as good technology are X2, and the soon to be improved Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure and Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. For a coaster like this to be a coaster that is great for thrill seekers and families at a Walt Disney World park (which is not there to provide only thrilling attractions) and combine all of the other aspects I have mentioned should by no means be in a Six Flags park. Six Flags employees don't make my day magical and neither do their coasters.
I'm not trying to get all moody but come on.

Jungle Cruise works fine in Magic Kingdom. It wouldn't work in Animal Kingdom. I mean, why would someone want to ride a ride with animatronic animals if that very same park has a ride with REAL animals? But I do agree with;
Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor = DHS (Although one could argue that the ability to harness laughter for energy is in itself futuristic)
COP = EPCOT
