Worst Attraction Refurb

[Xadllas]

The refurbs I hate the most.

Replacing Horizons with Space.
Replacing the orginal GM attraction with Test Track.
And the new Journey into Imagination.

Ok I know I must be rare but 20 years ago when I first went to E.P.C.O.T. before it was Epcot it was my favorite park. Everything and I mean every thing Disney done has interuppted the old flow of the Park and dumbed it down.

You want a kids park visit Fantasy Land in the MK what is wrong with having one educational park.

OK bad flow..... Space, GM, Soaring after 10:30 AM you have to wait in peak season what 1 1/2 to 2 hours or get your one fast pass if they are available for 7:00 or 8:00 PM. Now if you decide to wait you are standing and standing move 5 feet then you are standing and standing. Finally after your 2 hour wait you are on a 5 to 10 minute attraction !!! Wait all that time for a short attraction. I was in Epcot when Soaring opened people stood in line for up to 3 hours. Ok people while Soaring is great it is not worth a 3 hour wait. Journey to Imagination is so dumbed down "THE SNUNK GAG !!!"nobody likes it and the line is always short.

Ok Good Flow.... Horizons, the Old GM attractions, the orginal Journey to Imagination. You have maybe an hour wait but it was not hard on your legs the lines always moved because the tracks in the attractions were non interrupted and once you got to the attaction you had a 20 minute attraction to me it felt like the wait earned me something.

Now dumbing down of Epcot to me is a crime. What can you really learn in a show that lasts a few minutes and Journey into Imagination what a joke. The old Horizons, GM attaction and Journey to Imagination all have themes.

Horizons a look of society from the Past to the Future.
GM a the history to the future of transportation.
Journey to Imagination a study of imagination.

Now you have 3 minute thrill rides. I am waiting for them to gut Space Ship Earth and put a lame 3 minute ride in it.

:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: By the way GM's attraction was called World Of Motion. But anyways I agree with just about everything (except Im ok with Teast Track).:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

At least WDW doesn't have Rockin' Space Mountain. I've never been more disgusted in my whole life. The only plus side to this is that it is only temporary and after April it will hopefully never show it's horrid face at Disneyland again. Whoever came up with that idea truly deserves to be fired.

I argue that the story of Journey into Imagination with Figment is much weaker than Journey into Your Imagination..... but the former is more entertaining....

(neither compare to the original :wave: )

the best future refurb is Dinosaur shutting down to take out the Carnotour and repainting the ride cars in Buzz Lightyear

It`s heart and soul.

Start with 40% if the ride track.

Flight to the Imagination

All decent Animatronics

All good effects

All the music

Most of the lighting

Lame lame lame....

Does video of the original exist anywhere?

Wait.... there`s a storyline??

Does video of the original exist anywhere?

I`ve mentioned it elsewhere, but be aware it`s free to download; I`m not selling it! You can get my ultimate tribute video from Mousebits.com - all 38 minutes of it, tracing it`s history, design, construction, then covering the pavilion (both floors) fully with a multi-camera, source audio full ridethru of the 1983 original.
