I could never see the attraction with this ride, if you can call it that. But to each their own. I always like the Buzz Lightyear ride similar to the MIB ride where you shot things as you go by. I know its meant for kids, but neon and black lights are cool on the Buzz lightyear ride. But I like the classic rides like Peter Pan, The Norway boat ride, and the Mexcian Gondola ride. Last time I went to Magic Kindgom last summer, the haunted house ride was closed too.
Thats a big pet peeve of mine with Disney. They close way too many rides and never reopen them, so you are getting jipped out of your experience and price of ticket for that reason.
Also, does anyone remember that ride at Epcot back in the late 80s, early 90s that was like a simulation in space and towards the end, the ride smells like oranges? I think that blood wars ride (Similar to the Star Tours ride) replaced it. There was also that Airplane navigation ride sponsored by PanAm that used to be at the Magic Kingdom. I miss the old rides.

I liked the alien ride at Magic Kingdom. It was pretty scary for a Disney ride and it reminded me a lot of the Aliens movies. I also hate it when they close rides. I remember a lot of them I used to go on when I was a kid and now they are gone. Like the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea one where you got in the submarine and dove down to the bottom of the ocean. That was badass. I hope they reopen the Haunted House, that is a classic! I think those, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, the roller coaster in Frontier Land, the tea cups, go karts, and a bunch others are classic Disney rides.
I remember the Epcot ride! I dont remember the beginning, but I remember the ending of it. They change rides there a lot so if theres one you want to see, you dont have long to see it. I remember when I was a kid, that giant globe thing was a zero gravity ride where you got in this suit and stood on a giant fan and you flew around in there. That was awesome. A few years ago it was a technology through time ride. I also remember a few years ago there was an Aerosmith roller coaster, and a test car driving thing that was pretty damn fun. You strapped yourself into this test car thing and it drove around this test track all fast. Now I remember a looooooong time ago when I first when there when I was like 6 or 7 there was this ride where you were in this open car and it took you through this ride that showed the evolution of cars and race cars and it was the coolest thing ever. It ended in this car museum that I think is still there. Last time I was there in like 2002, they had this fossil fuel ride that was sponsored by Exxon I think lol They also had an indoor food growing thing that was pretty cool. You rode through it on a boat. Epcot was always a really cool educational place, plus the countries kick ass. Did you know that each country in Epcot is actually controlled by that country and is considered territory of that country? Like China owns the China part of Epcot.
Have you ever been to the Halloween thing at Universal? Now THAT **** is scary! They close the park down and reopen after dark. They turn all the lights out, only leaving a few red lights on in the streets, and if you havent been there, the entire park is setup like a town with streets and shops and alleyways, etc., and they have hundreds of actors all dressed up in really freaky outfits hiding all over the place chasing you with chainsaws and stuff and its hard to see where you're going because its dark and they have fog machines and strobe lights in some areas. They also make a bunch of HUGE haunted rides taking up those big warehouses there. I remember the first time I went there in '99 I almost crapped myself it was so freaky. I went there with like five friends and it went from 8pm til 2am and we literally spent the entire time trying to find places to hide from them lol Then they had a haunted parade with demons and zombies and stuff. I went every year until recently. Its like living in a horror movie for six hours lol They made it a little less freaky a few years ago because a few of the actors got beat up because some of the patrons thought they were real lol Thats also where I found one of my favorite drinks, the 'Lobotomie'. Its five different rums and pineapple juice. Im guessing it gets its name because after a few, you dont remember crap
I also learned its not a good idea to drink a bunch of them and then try and run away from anything. You usually end up lying down bruised and/or bloody
