Soarin' for me. My sense of smell must be non-existent because I never notice the "orange groove" scent or any others. The screen is dirty and the film old and grainy. I would never ride it without FP and since I usually go in "slow" times I have only waited 15 mins at most (the first time), and wouldn't bother if I had to wait longer. Some have told me the key is to ride the top row, and while I admit that was a better experience than the bottom row, it still did little for me. Like others use some rides for naps, Soarin' with it's nice cool air and rocking motion could allow me to just nod off.
I don't understand why, as some have mentioned, they don't do a refurb with an updated film. They could soar over Florida and keep the orange grove effect, then go to other scenic spots up the East Coast, maybe all the way to the snows of Vermont. I'd love to Soar over my city, Washington DC, at night and the Appalachian Mountains in autumn. So many lovely scenes they could capture and really refresh the ride.
Of course, I do understand that the powers that be say "Why spend money to update the film or even clean the screen when people will stand in line for 90 minutes as it is?"
