Poll Fail. No option for "Frozen."
I think Frozen Ever After is incredible, especially given the limitations they had to work with. The animatronics are amazing, I love the pacing and how much variety we get from the movie, and the backwards Let it Go segment leading to the drop and boat reverse segment with Marshmellow gives me chills, no pun intended.

My vote is for Primeval Whirl. DCA got made fun of a lot for being the "parking lot park" when it opened, but I can't excuse a land in a Disney park where it's actual theme is "carnival in a parking lot."

Na'vi River Journey is pretty awful. Or I should say, if you have to wait longer than 15 minutes for it, it's a terrible ride.

That said, I voted Primeval Whirl because rides like that have no place at WDW. Alien Saucers, you're on the same list.

I picked Speedway, mostly because it's smelly and slow and not themed and just generally lackluster. It takes up so much space where something great could be developed.

I don't get the hate for Alien S. S. Once the newness wears off and the lines go down, it seems like a perfectly good ride for younger kiddos. It's themed. It's covered. I get that Toy Story Land as a whole is disappointing to some and we all wish there was a new fabulous dark ride or something higher budget, but for what it is, it seems perfectly serviceable. I get that some people feel it is "beneath" Disney, but there have always been flat rides at Disney. What about Tea Cups, or Dumbo? Is it that it's a kiddie ride? What about the Casey Jr Train at DLR?

Also the hate for Aladdin. Yeah, it's nearly the same as Dumbo, but so is Triceratops Spin. And Astro Orbiters is also pretty similar. Is it the placement that people object to vs. those rides? I think the ride is more fun than Dumbo because you can tilt the carpet. Also back when Dumbo was only 1 spinner and no play area, the line was ungodly long at some times.

Speedway - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Getting to drive a car when you an 8 year old boy was awesome. I loved it as a kid. Remember when I was tall enough to drive by myself, that was a great day. Yeah its loud and smelly, but that was the fun. We get to drive every day folks. Now, if they would make an AC room for parents to sit and wait with a full bar - instant win. So Speedway is NOT on my list.

Yeah, but you can drive go karts as an 8 year old in any number of places now. Plus the placement in Tomorrowland is meh. But I guess most of the "theme" of Tomorrowland is convoluted at this point.

I absolutely agree with you on the "carnival in a parking lot" theming. I even hate that they have carnival games there, that seem to
be just a crooked as your average midway. Primeval Whirl, on the other hand, I find to be a fun ride with a little excitement, much
more fun than thrilling.

Navi River Journey has some redeeming qualities. Look at this poll from a perspective in which you disregard wait times. If you didn’t disregard wait times, that, Test Track and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train would all have a place on the list

I was torn, because it does have a unique look. Ultimately, to me, the look alone wasn't enough to make it a ride I'd go on more than once. I may be one of the only people who feel this way though.

Nah when I take people to Animal Kingdom, we skip it unless we have a fastpass (unlike FOP which I force people to stand in a 3 hour line for and I usually am thanked for doing afterwards)

But some Disney rides aren’t worth even going on once xD

Who voted for living with the land!!!!!!!!!! Great ride.
I did. I don't get the love for that ride. I understand some people enjoy it and I think that's great. If the entire resort was only what I liked, the queues for my favorite rides would be longer. lol

Seriously though, diversity is good. I just don't care for Living with the Land.

Primeval Whirl. I went once during a slow night, and the worker asked if I wanted to go again. I politely said "No, thanks" in response. That was the only time I tried it. There's just nothing special about that ride for me.
I enjoyed a good mouse coaster in my childhood, but as I get older, these kind that spin make me woozy. I prefer Goofy's Sky School in DCA, though it's similarly poorly themed.

So Disney has many many attractions and with many hits, there's bound to be some misses. I'm wondering what you people believe to be the worst attraction. I created a poll with options that I've seen circulate as some of the worst (I'm sure someone is still bound to reply "WHY IS (insert option) EVEN AN OPTION?! EVERYONE LOVES IT."). As a reminder, everybody play nice. We all have different perspectives on attractions and we all should respect each other's opinions.

In my opinion, it's the UP bird show.. Even disregarding its predecessor Wonders of Life, it's so bad. Most of it is listening to Dug and Russell talk with Melissa. And in my opinion, it's almost insulting to Dug and Russell as characters. They act like they have 4 brain cells in this show! I think the salt in the wound is the fact that UP is one of my favorite movies of all time and it got such a horrible presence in the park.

But what do you guys think?
Yes tiki room is so bad boring
