Some of you all are way too committed to the bit because how on earth is TBA worse than some of the ones still left?
Please god get rid of Barnstormer. It should’ve been a first out.

Agreed. Tiana being eliminated first = the triumph of pure knee-jerk emotional tribalism over rationality. Sure, it sucks, but it still has the bones of an E-ticket. Objectively there are at least half a dozen rides at WDW that suck even more.
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin gets my vote as the second most worthless use of prime MK real estate after Speedway.

Going with Finding Nemo; I forgot about that one.
I generally avoid thrill rides, so I don't have an opinion on Tron or Mission Space (I do want to try the latter though). I felt comfortable commenting on Tiana's because it's largely a dark ride with a drop.
I don't like Remy's because it has no highs and only lows.
- So screen reliant that it doesn't have a single animatronic. This is the biggest thing.
- If you're unlucky enough to get the wrong rat you can see the bottom of the screens, making it essentially impossible to feel immersed.
- I don't like the thing the trackless rides do where you park in one area and pretend something's happening at the best of times, and Remy's handles it significantly worse than Mickey and Minnie's. It completely drains the tension of what's supposed to be a chase scene to have a character yell for you to run, then your vehicle slowly makes its way to its position, potentially past other parked vehicles, then pauses for a second, THEN "runs".
- Disney seems to believe that the "big items to make you feel small" gimmick never gets old, but I disagree, it's old. We already have an entire land for that.
- When I rode they managed to screw up the "eyes in the walls" effect because it wasn't dark around them to hide it just being the eyes, but it's possible this was a malfunction.
- Further IP-ing World Showcase. Now our France ride takes place indoors and in a sewer! Nothing outside in France to see, I guess.
If you asked me the high point, I wouldn't know what to say because nothing in there stood out as exceptionally well done. It's cute that they gave the baby rat at the end two different animations for a bit of variety, I guess?
Millennium Falcon I don't have a strong opinion on because it's an unpleasant blur of quasi-thrill ride jitters, simulator nausea, and not knowing what these people are talking about. At least two of those are my fault.
Figment has animatronics and feels substantially less like I'm just watching a 3D movie. If asked about the high points of it, I could say the final scene is a good one and it still has the great song even if it didn't originate there. Also, I find the Sound Lab room clever, since it actually demonstrates how senses effect your imagination without outright saying it.

Toy Story Mania. It's a bunch of hallways, not worth the wait, and I associate it with the death of MGM.

Really!?
I'll be sour over losing Horizons 'till my dying breath, and M:S never belonged in FW. Pre- and post-ride experiences leave a little to be desired. But the M:S experience itself is terrific. Still the closest I'll ever be to an astronaut. If they had just build the attraction itself, and in TL, it would be a genuine classic for me.
