Out of several first timers I've taken to WDW, TSMM was 1st or 2nd on their list of most fun attraction. That is from about 20 people here or there. I believe this board is not the correct judgement of how the attraction is viewed by the masses.
I'm not embarrassed to say it ranks in the Top Ten of my favorite rides in the resort! MiB is Superior if course....
It's fun. Sure. But Toy Story deserves more than what it really is, which is decorated plywood boxes. I'm glad many find enjoyment in it. It *was* fun. But they could have done a lot better than this and we all know that.
None of us are ignoring that the masses enjoy it, but I don't really enjoy the excuse of "well the masses like it, sooo ...." lol. The masses are supposedly giving us Peter Quill in Epcot and IP where it doesn't belong (and some where I think it fits fine) ...
You can find it fun but a lazy attraction, which is what it was and is. That's what they would have done for Potter, too. But hey, it'd be fun, right?
For anyone who likes it don't be embarrassed but at least admit what the ride is ...
For the record, I think it's fine on Pixar Pier ... it fits the Midway games thing. It's not the best tie-in, obviously but they found a way to make it work. I don't think it fits DHS. It reminds me of the lazy carnival games they're fond of. Sorry, lol. And this is coming from someone who's mostly indifferent to Toy Story Land.
Anyway, didn't need to be some big debate about Mania. It's just my opinion that I don't really like it and it was a lazy attraction. Not trying to diss anyone who likes it
Obviously it's popular, that's not exactly my gripe. I get why it's popular
