What attraction is overrated?

World of Motion. To me, it's just a rip-off of Spaceship Earth, but with it being about transportation instead of technology. I can't believe my parents waited three hours to ride this one Christmas.
Gonna have to play my dork card, Spaceship earth's theme is Communication. But I hear yah! ;)

Pre-kids: Small World (now I think it's perfection)
Post-kids: Tiki Room (too long and not engaging for my buggers to sit through)

Test Track

This has been asked a bunch but I love answering it....'Test Track' for anyone over 16. Wow..sit in a convertible with the top down, drive a little bit fast, corner quick, brake hard, get hot, get cold...yawn...
Close second. 'Toy Story Midway Mania'- Sit and play a video game....yawn...

Test Track- dull queue and even less to see in the actual ride after the redo. (I want those alpine mountain trees back!!) Yet, there's always a line.

I have to go with the updated version of Test Track. It was sort of amusing in it's old form. Now it's just senseless, especially wasting the 20 minutes building an imaginary car.

A definite close second though is Under the Sea. As part of the billion + dollar Fantasyland expansion I expected something more than spinning or bouncing plastic characters and average lighting effects.

Test Track - I was expecting so much more the first time I rode it a few years back; I haven't been back on it since...total letdown

Buzz Lightyear SRS & Toy Story Midway Mania - These attractions are moderately entertaining, but I have no idea why they have the popularity and long lines that they do; I just don't get it.

Kali River Rapids - Because it is so short in duration/ride length; why go through all the trouble and money of creating/promoting a new attraction that is less than 5 minutes in duration? I couldn't believe it was over so quick.

^^^All of this. Test Track. :p

I'm just making an assumption here...there's a correlation between a person's NASCAR interest and their love of Test Track.
For me...NASCAR is a long series of left? turns and folks waiting for tragedy to occur. TT is a "fix" for NASCAR fans while at WDW and an opportunity to yell "WOOOOO".

Test Track's wait time is always outrageous and the ride is never worth it, and I feel sad because it was a solid ride and I wanted to enjoy it more. We got a fastpass and it still took an hour and a half!!! :mad:

Did the ride break down three times? I can't possibly imagine a situation where FP takes more than 30 min.

I'm not sure what it's called, and it's only around in late winter/early spring, but it's the attraction where you get to ride in a basket on the end of a crane around the top of the castle at MK. I waited in line for hours but never got on. What a waste of time. ;)

But seriously, I'd have to say the current incarnations of Imagination & The Seas at Epcot. The absence of Dreamfinder and the OG Figment, as well as the shortened track, really killed Imagination for me, and the Nemo overlay at The Seas was completely unnecessary.

MK: I have to say Pirates. It is just so underwhelming after riding DL's. Feels like most of the ride is just gone.
EP: Impressions De France. It has a fan base calling it better than Soarin, but I just found it nice. Far from a must do.
HS: TSMM. Last two times I rode one of our vehicle guns were broken. Even before that, it was just a Wii game.
AK: Dinosaur I guess. After Indiana Jones, it is kind of a bummer to ride. Just the amount of wasted potential. Perhaps after the refurb it will get off this list.

For me, it's Test Track. I think it's incredibly boring and would only ride it if there was NO wait time and everyone else in my group insisted.

I'm with you. It's technically neat but kind of practically pointless at this point. When it was more about testing cars and less about TronTrack it as least made more sense. You had the queue with all of the components being tested and the plaques telling you what each of them did.

Tron Track is just dumb to me.

Ultimately, the "thrill" part of Tron Track is that you go nearly as fast as you probably drive everyday, unless you're in a state that still sticks to 55MPH (PA does that, I think). It's probably a ride geared more towards Pennsylvanians.

I hate to say it but, Peter Pan.
Great movie, it's a classic. But the ride itself is out dated, fairly short in duration and not all that great. I expect more.

Yes
Soarin'

Not that it's a bad attraction or anything; I really think it's technically impressive. That said, it's not impressive enough to warrant the multiple hour waits it generates on a daily basis

I want to live where the people who say Test Track is like their morning commute. The expressways in my state do not feature banked curves and I think that would make the Monday morning commute a little more tolerable.
