I may be in the minority, but I really enjoyed EE as a coaster. It wasn't all that thrilling, but it was just . . fun. And smooth. And I particularly liked the backward section which I thought was unique to any coaster I've been on. Disney's coasters are not very thrilling (unless you count Space Mountain but that's more fearing for your safety than anything else) which is what they're aiming for: family entertainment. Not so thrilling so kids can enjoy it, but still fun so teens and adults can too. IDK I think the only time disney really took a risk with any substantial g forces was on ToT, which obviously has some killer negative Gs.

As for overrated attraction, I remember being really let down by Kali River Rapids' lack of rapids. Maybe it was just a bum ride, but (save for the short drop) it was just a very slow bob around the course with very little to look at. Then again, I'm not sure how high expectations are, so I'm not sure it counts as overrated.

Ride BTM at night. I didnt care for it till we did last week and it was awesome. Alot of the ride is in the dark. Also looking at the sky when your going up was beautiful. It def. changed my opinion on that ride. Night is the way to go.

Night rides on most attractions are awesome. BTM is one of the best at night.

IMO BTM is the best attraction in Orlando at night, barely edging out Jungle Cruise.

^^^ agreed, the lighting on the mountain just makes it pop and it's almost all white light. Big thunder is probably one of the most beautiful looking rides ever

It's a toss up between BTM and Splash for me.

True, but I think Kong has a wildcard and that's its queue, which could get even creepier at night.

Splash would be third on my list. But as a JC skipper, I freaking LOVED night cruises. Hid the next scene so people weren't looking at the next scene while I was still joking about the current one.

I always got laughs.*

*Outside of the times when my boat was 100% Brazilians, but that doesn't count.

Yea, because it gives you a brain hemorrhage and you die. I did not like DLP's SM at all. Give me DL or TDL's any day of the week.

JP at night when it is cool enough for the fog to sit a couple of inches thick on the water is one of the most amazing ride experiences I have ever had.

It is rough, but not as rough as New York New York's monstrosity!

Not to continue off topic, but...

When it was still around Jaws was by far the most impressive attraction at night. It felt... genuine.

I would say JAWS during the day gets us back on topic as a most over-rated attraction. ;)

I'm happy to see Sorain at the top of so many peoples list. I marvel at people that praise this. If it had anything even remotely tied in to Epcots themes it might be passable ..... Sorain over the land talking about the lands use for goor or Soarin over the world and focusing on the WS countries --- hell even Soarin over Florida. To give us Soarin over California is a slap in the face - the fact that the majority of guests rate it as a top attraction means we will continue to get mediocrity from the mouse. So yea my vote is for Soarin or as I call it Boarin. When a rides pre-show is more entertaining that the real attraction you have a serious problem.

Buzz. After riding MIB so many times and loving that ride, I hoped Buzz would be similar and since I'm a big Toy Story fan, I figured I would love it. Nope.

The pot is stirred....

I would say Test Track is the most overrated..basically everything you can do on the road without being in control of it..
