Strange rides that your kids liked

I was wondering if anyone's kids liked really strange rides, something you didn't expect them to like. I don't mean like fast or scary rides. More like something you think they'd be bored by or disinterested in.

My kids (7 and 3) loved the Land ride. They wanted to go on it multiple times!:hammer: I haven't figured out why, and their answer was, "we like it".

Anyone else?

A strange ride I liked was Goofy's Barnstormer Roller Coaster ride in Toon-town at MK. It's strange because you sometimes wait 30 mins in line for a 5 min ride. :)

When my brother was 5, he was fascinated by the Energy ride at Epcot. He had been learning about dinosaurs in kindergarten, and he liked to point them out and name them.

Well I thought it was strange for little kids to like a boat ride through a greenhouse. No offense intended to people who enjoy the ride. My kids weren't especially interested in plants or boats, so I just didn't understand why they loved the ride so much. I was sure my son would complain about how boring the ride was the entire time, but he loved it. That, and Pirates of the Carribbean, but you can understand a three year old boy liking that.

Um... I am pretty sure the Barnstormer is only about 20-some seconds long! ;)

Oh My Gosh! When I first visited EPCOT Center, that was the one ride I did not care for at all. Of course, that is where I got stuck the first six months I worked for Disney!

"To your left is a plant. To your right is another plant. Please do not ask me any questions about the plants. Additional information is not in my spiel, and honestly I just don't care." :snore:

I do like the walking tour through the greenhouses, though. It's way more informative and you get to ask questions! :sohappy:

Actually it's more along the lines of a 50 second ride (give or take 10 seconds) it says the time in the Unofficial Guide to WDW- but i dont want to go look it up.

Well, if I can remember right, I got bored in line & timed it. It's really close to 30 seconds! (I think!) But, anyways, I don't have kids, but I can remember when I was younger loving LOVING Small World! lol, now I ride it & am like "WHY?" But, I also think of the times I had riding & being SO happy. And singing along! :p

My 2 year old's favorite ride is the Haunted Mansion. He gets really excited when he sees scenes from it on a video or in a book. He still goes around the house pretending to be a ghost and can't wait to go back "home" :rolleyes:
