Top 3 worst attractions at MK

Oh c'mon guys, you're all dissing one of my favorite slow rides!

For that, I will leave this stuck in your head:

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears
There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
 
Only one I have no use for is Tomorrowland Speedway. It literally stinks sometimes, and it is about as fun as riding a lawnmower around the yard. Great for the tots but not much use for the rest of us IMO
 
Surprised so many dislike Hall of Presidents. Can't wait to see it when it is back up.

My list may not be totally accurate since there are some things we didn't do (kiddie rides, teacups, treehouse, tiki room...)

Of the attractions we rode/ saw, my least favorites were the Tomorrowland Speedway, Country Bears (and I had some serious nostalgia going into this from my DL childhood!), and sadly Haunted Mansion (another nostalgia ride, but we just didn't really enjoy it...my 13 yo said it was boring!)
 


I have an appreciation for some attractions on this list since I've experienced them through the eyes of my 3&4yo's. Tomorrowland Speedway is my son's favorite ride in all of Disney and I will go out of my way every time to go on it with him. I love those memories. Turned out my daughter loves carousel of progress. She's really big into families and relationships at the moment, so it makes sense.

My 3 are:
Any Main Street vehicle
Under the Sea - so disappointed. Could have been a great ride. The facade and queue are more impressive than the ride.
Stitch - for reasons
 


1.The Swiss Family Treehouse. I've never seen the movie, so I can't enjoy it for that. And you get bottlenecks galore from people taking photos and video. I did it once and was actually held back by a parent while he took pictures of his kids on the next set of stairs. I was too polite to say something to maybe cause a fight.

2. The Speedway. It stinks and is not a heck of a lot of fun for adults. I will say that when I took my then twelve year old niece to WDW in 2008, she *loved* it. I went on it so many times I think I'm STILL recovering from the gas fumes.

3. Primeval Whirl. My sister and I tried it out on a rainy day. Big mistake. We were thrown from side to side on the slippery seats and we got nauseated from the spinning. I think we were screaming the whole time, and not because it was fun.

Let me say though-I *love* The Country Bear Jamboree. I even have a stuffed Big Al. I also like the Tiki Birds, but can't get my sister into the show because she's read too many lists like this and thinks it will be lame.

I do not like the Tiki room and I did not like Stitch. I do not like the speedway but have someone who has to ride it each trip.
The award for the worst ride ever goes to Stitch! Sorry Stitch :confused3
 
Wow, Stitch is gone? Well then:

Country Bear Jamboree
Swiss Family Treehouse
Aladdin's Carpets
 
Stitch
Small World
Enchanted Tales with Belle

Tales with Belle holds a special place of disappointment for me. Was there the year it opened. No kids in our group. Waited 45 mins, thought it was a ride up to the castle. The "show" started. Kept waiting for the ride to start, show ends. Led out the doors, figured okay heres the ride...No, that was the end. What a waste of time.

Our fault for not researching that one, but boy that was disappointing.

Not doing that again till i have kids!!
 
1. Hall of Presidents
2. Tomorrowland Speedway
3. Space Mountain (I would probably love it if it were a smoother coaster)
 
I used to work on the Mark Twain riverboat at Disneyland. Okay, it's not an E ticket attraction, but it's a real working steamship with an honest-to-goodness engineer onboard who oversees this impressive piece of machinery, just like the Railroad is so iconically Disney. I like to think it's one of those special touches that makes the Magic Kingdom (on either coast) the Magic Kingdom.

It's the kind of attraction that might never be built if the parks were built today, because it's just not commercial enough. (And as proof, I guess we need only look at Hong Kong and Shanghai Disneyland.)

That said, it's all subjective. I can totally accept it on many people's "worst" lists. And here's mine:

1. Stitch
2. Omnibus
3. Country Bear
 
3. Country bear jamboree
2. Barnstormer
1. STITCH

Stitch gets the number 1 spot simply because the alien attraction that was there before was hands down the most thrilling attraction I've ever experienced. I am still so bitter about them taking it away and replacing it with that.....
 
Tomorrowland Speedway. You have almost no control of the cars. Granted, we have older kids, but we were laughing so hard after riding it last time because of how bad it was. Maybe that made it a good ride? But we won't ride it again.

Country Bear Jamboree. It's been a while since I did this one, but I could hardly hear what the bears were saying.

Stitch, if I can vote for Stitch. It's been so long since I was on Stitch that I almost forget why I hated it so much.

If I can't vote for Stitch, I'll vote for the character meet and greets. I think they have value for some little kids, but mine were never into it. I sort of dislike them on principle though because it seems like there are fewer characters walking around the park now that they have the meet and greet attractions, and I always thought it was a nice touch having characters walking around. In all the years I've been going to Disney, I can count on one hand the number of times we've run across a character walking around a park. Oops that turned into a mini vent, sorry!

However! A bad attraction at Magic Kingdom beats being somewhere else! :)
 
Here are mine:
Swiss Family Tree House
Tomorrowland Speedway: We have not been on this ride for years and years, as our kids got older, but now we have a new grandson so I think in a few years we will be back in line for this one!!
Tea Cups: The spinning just gets to me.
