i can only remember two times i've had a bad experience in disney. the first was when i was waiting to see fantasmic for the first and it started rainiong and mind you, i waited an hour and a half for that show. the only good thing (not for the performer) was when mickey came out, the stage was slippery and he slipped and slid across:lol: . the second was when i rode test track and it wasn't working properly. it kept breaking suddenly. it went slow through the break tests and the parts before you almost crash into the truck. i even got stuck in the cold room. and the whole time i was nervous that it would break suudenly in the 65 mph portion.

Recently I went to Disneyland of the first time. I tried the Matterhorn, expecting a decent coaster experience. It was so jerky and painful that both my wife and I got headaches. Nothing gets me ill or sick, so it really stood out.
(Heck, I rode Mission: Space after drinking 5 cups of Beverly AND leaning forward...)
The second worst had to be in Spaceship Earth. I love this ride, but when you're stuck in the absolute top section, you begin to roast like a hotdog.
Finally, trying to navigate Disneyland whenever there are some fireworks anywhere in the park. Everyone freezes and gets insanely rude.

When we rode the teacups, we discovered the hard way that three cannot fit in one cup. I was very cramped XD

My worst experience was at the MK about 8 years ago. Now, you have to remember- this was before everyone owned a cell phone. My mom and dad decided to go different ways, my mom was taking me on some ride (cant remember what) and my dad was taking my autistic sister for a walk because she was starting to get impatient waiting in lines, etc. Well, after my mom and I got off the ride, it started to rain, REALLY HARD. We went to the spot that my mom and dad decided to meet at- and lo and behold, he's not there. We searched the area (If I remember correctly, it was around Toon Town), but no luck. Then we made the bad decision of getting on the train and going around to Main Street, then to Frontier Land. We got off at Frontier Land and started searching Liberty Square, etc. My mom scared me by saying "Why dont we go into the Haunted Mansion instead of looking for them", I was petrified of the HM at the time and I didn't realize she was joking. Eventually we found them near the Tommorowland Speedway, after searching for about an hour. I guess there was a covered area that kept them from getting rained on and they went there instead of the destination we picked in Toon Town, but I dont really remember all the details clearly. What a night...

My worst ride experience would be on SSE. I was a baby and I was riding with my family. The whole ride stopped for about 45 minutes! The worst part was that we were stuck in a room that smelled horrible! Finally, some cast members came and escorted everybody out of the ride! It was horrible!

Even the silliest, most "kiddie" rides at Disney, the wife and I enjoy, just because we're at WDW and because we're together. The only ride I can think of that would be considered a "bad experience" might be Extra Terrestrial Alien Encounter. I say this because we went in there and got harnessed and seat belted in and therefore thought that it was gonna be a thrill type ride. I was waiting for the high speed spinning to start, but there we sat. Not moving. At all. Totally lame. We both came out wondering why in the world do they secure us in the way you would secure someone on a roller coaster only to leave us all just sitting there immobile like a bunch of loons. We may not have considered it such a bad experience had we not been led to think the ride was gonna be a RIDE and not just sit there strapped in and not going anywhere. Needless to say, when we went back the following year, after it turned into Stitch's Great Escape, we did not do that attraction.
Neither of us were overly impressed with Haunted Mansion either, but I wouldn't consider that one to be a bad experience. Just a so so ride. I think we were both expecting it to be scarier and not a comedy ride. But I still wouldn't rank it as being a bad experience.

I guess if I look back to my very first visit in 1987 as an 11 year old, I could refer to the old cable car ride as a bad ride experience. If you can call a total lack of a ride as a bad experience. :lol: I wanted to ride the cable cars all day and everytime I walked by, the line was way too long. Finally, toward the end of the day, I saw no line, and, being a dumb 11 year old, thought that I had a clear shot onto the ride. However, I was met by a CM who told me, "I'm sorry sir, this ride is closed". 
And the next time I went was in 2000, and the Cable Cars were gone. Why did they get ride of those things?
And someone needs to tell my Dad the proper way to do a theme park. We went down that summer to see his sister in Jacksonville. Mom and Dad took me, my brother and my cousin to Orlando for three days or so, and did EPCOT one day and MK the other. Both days, we were out of there by 5 or so. Who in their right mind leaves either one of those parks at 5 PM??? :hammer:

I was once in a very, very, very long line for Splash Mountain with a friend. We were having a conversation for almost the entire 90 minute wait about politics. I don't remember exactly what we said, but it was about different country's policies concerning human rights. The conversation was in no way heated, but this couple in front of us kept turning around and shooting us dirty looks. Totally weird. But we kept having our interesting conversation anyway. Well, about halfway through the wait, they shot us their last dirty look and left -- after waiting for almost an hour! Whether they left because they were tired of waiting or tired of hearing our conversation, I'll never know -- or care.

Oh my, def Dinosaur for me. I went on the ride with my friend not know exactly what to expect. She is afriad of Dinosaurs so I just told her it was a little kid ride so shed go on it with me but she ended up screaming the entire time, and I mean like high pitch screams right in my ear and I had nail marks in my arm for the rest of the day. Thats what I get for lying I guess.
And everytime I go on Test Track it breaks down, always outside when were in the middle of the speed test.

I haven't had too many really bad ride experiences.
The only one that really sticks out in my mind was once when I was on HM with a friend. There was a group of people a few doombuggies that screamed the ENTIRE ride. We couldn't even hear the Ghost Host.
Unfortunately, we ran out of time to go back to the attraction and experience it normally.

My worst experience on a ride has to be SSE last May... We got stuck for about 20 minutes in the Space Room (actual name for this room escapes me :brick: ) All we heard for that time was "Please remain seated, you are being turned around for your return to Earth"... I was damn near suicidal after that..

A couple weeks ago we were in line for Maelstrom. There was a family in front of us. The little girl, 7 or 8 years old, puked. I felt bad for her, but even worse for her mother who was obviously mortified. The inside of that child really stank. :zipit:
When we rode TTA (forever the People Mover!!) there were a group of kids a couple cars behind us, whooping and screaming. They were trying to get people on the ground to look at them. I don't know if that worked or not, but I looked at them!!
All in all, if this is the worse that ever happens, We're doing good.

With my bad memory, I remember things in pieces. That's why this is my third story XD
There were some dorks in the elevator screaming during the elevator scene. I couldn't hear the ghost host, thus ruining the punch line of the hanging corpse. I didn't really know at the time what he was saying so I didn't quite get the body in the ceiling and wasn't sure what it was supposed to be right away. :brick: The ride also scared the bejeebers out of my little sister. Mainly I think because the ride had been improved without us knowing. Everything was darker, everything seemed closer than my parents said it was last time, that bride was DAAAMN creepy and the busts seemed more realistic. Needless to say, my sister did not enjoy that ride.
On a lighter note, I also recall our boats in POTC bumping into each other and getting stuck... right under the hairy, muddy leg :lol: not a BAD experience, but definetly a memorable one. :lookaroun

When my younger daughter was 4 and a half, we offered her the chance to skip the Haunted Mansion, but she insisted she'd be fine. In the stretch room, she clung to me, but was quiet. As soon as the car started -- when it was too late to get her out -- she attached herself to me like Velcro and shrieked in my ear until we were outside. Sorry if it disturbed others on the ride, but I didn't enjoy it either and there were no options once it started, and no warning ahead of time. The scariest ride for me was the Dinosaur thing at Animal Kingdom. I didn't open my eyes once the whole time. (But I was quiet.)

I NEVER go on SMALL WORLD anymore
When I was 6 (1976), we went on IASW. Well, it got stuck. I mean, we were in a boat and it just stopped. Now what I mean is, the boats stopped, NOT the music!!! For an hour!!! It drove me nuts....and mind you, I was only 6. Well, I haven't been on that right ever since and it's even very hard for me to walk by it.....which is often, because I LOVE Peter Pan. lol
The other time was recent. I let my kids (8 and 6) go on Tower of Terror with their older brother and sister. They got off and said they loved it. I had never been on so my husband and I went next. Well, I didn't like it very much, even in the beginning. But it got to the top, about to go down the hallway, and it got stuck. So we got out, and right back on again. Well then, the whole ride went through. I thought it was terrifying!!! I was screaming crying through the whole thing because I had let the kids go on it and went through this whole "I'm a horrible parent"! thing. LOL!!! Remember, they loved it. So, anyway, I don't like that ride that much.
Oh, wait, one more. It wasn't really a bad experience, but I was worried about taking the kids on Mission:Space but we went anyway and it was OK. Well, a week later we heard about that little boy that had died on it, and THEN I was sick about it that I had let the kids on. They liked it OK but weren't crazy about it. I guess I have tough kids.
