What Attractions are Over/Under Rated at DLR???

[Cacopelao!]

Now I know this thread has been done before (I did search), but it seems that they were derailed or slightly off topic.

My wife and I are going 9/29 and we are not as familiar with DCA as we are with DL. Also, when we go it is usually with our 4-year-old. So I would like to know what attractions are overrated or underrated at DLR?

For example...what about Muholland Madness? It is categorized as a "Big Thrill" ride, but I've never seen it nor heard much about it. Underrated or just plain lame? Big Thunder....way underrated in my opinion. Matterhorn, Autopia, Roger Rabbit...overrated.

What do you think?

Pooh ride - OVER RATED

forgot about that one for a sec, and autopia can be overrated on a hot hot day if that counts.

Snow White's Scary Adventures, Pinhoccio's Daring Journey. Frequently overlooked in Fantasyland.

Well, I love Buzz. One of the rides DH and I always go on.

I think Matterhorn is overrated. Slow, jerky, and knee-bruising. Ouch!

Storybook is underrated. It has its haters, but it really is charming. Especially when monster ducks invade. But, oh! The line is soooo slow.

IASW, I hate to say, is now overrated. When I was 7, it was the coolest thing next to Strawberry Shortcake, but now..? Well, it hasn't aged well.

Tom Sawyer Island is underrated. And sadly, neglected by the higher-ups. If only they'd refurb the fort!

Oh, and Butterfinger Brownies are underrated. Except by me. I prize them as they deserve.

Good point.

I for one, love Mulholland Madness (did I spell it right?) and think its underrated.

First time I ever got on this, I thought I was going to fall over the side. I actually think it could be a bit 'wilder' than California Screamin' in some respects...

Re: What Attractions are Over/Under Rated at DLR???

Overrated -

1. Anything in Toon Town, noteably Gadget's Rollercoaster, Roger Rabbit's CarToon spin, and the Chip and Dale treehouse.

2. Innoventions.

3. Autopia.

4. Buzz Lightyear.

5. Splash Mountain.

UNDER-rated:

1. Jungle Cruise

2. Pinocchio's Journey;

3. Storybook Boats;

4. Rivers of America Attractions (Columbia, Mark Twain, Canoes);

5. it's a Small World.

If you want to talk DCA, the Sun Wheel, Animation Studio, Grizzly River Rapids, are all underrated - I'm sorry it took me so long to try each of these.

Rated just right, meaning everyone agrees you shouldn't miss -
Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain!

i also agree with this one. ive been to disneyland may many times (well compared to the average person, maybe not so much compare to you guys) and i FINALLY visited tom sawyer island on my last trip and i thought it was great. partially because i had never been there and it was so "new" and cool to me. i highly reccomend it if you havnt been there, its a nice change, all "nature like".

Re: What Attractions are Over/Under Rated at DLR???

Tower of Terror- Underrated
Monsters Inc.- Overrated (Come on, the AA's in that ride don't even move their lips when they are suppost to be talking! The Queue line is also themeless.)

Soarin Over California- Overrated (Scents were not powerful, the film was edited and that ruined the experience for me, just when things looked like they were about to get good, you get put into a different setting, and you land in Disneyland during Christmas time).

MuppetVision- Overrated (I loved the Muppets, but this attraction was very boring. It did not have that Muppet Mayhem feel like most of the shows did. The AA's were more entertaining to watch than the film itself. Even the queue line was bland).

That's all I can think of for now.

Last time I went into the park my friends and I asked the CMs on Tom Sawyer's Island if Disney was ever going to reopen the fort and they told us that the fort has massive termite damage so it's very doubtful which I think is a shame!

Re: What Attractions are Over/Under Rated at DLR???

It's Tough to Be a Bug is sadly underrated and undervisited as is Muppet Vision.

For example...what about Muholland Madness? It is categorized as a "Big Thrill" ride, but I've never seen it nor heard much about it. It terrifies me...kids love it. I think it might be too much for a 4 y/o though. Underrated or just plain lame? Big Thunder....way underrated in my opinion. Big Thunder is great. Matterhorn Thrilling. Autopia Fun if you don't have to wait in line. It is an exceedingly time consuming ride to load...it is fun , Roger Rabbit...overrated love this ride....

What do you think?

Overrated: I love peter pan...but not the line. It is not worth the wait...sorry, too claustrophobic.

Underrated: Your child may like Thunder Ranch ~ petting zoo. It is peaceful and the animals are sweet.

Oh, that is all I have now...I need to seriously, seriously get back to work... LOL
