What is the worst attraction you have ever experienced at a theme park?

I have two: It's Tough To Be A Bug at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Fast & Furious Supercharged at Universal Studios Florida.

I have only done Fast & Furious once because it was that bad. It's Tough To Be A Bug however, I have done plenty of times before it turned into Zootopia, which I refuse to do. The final year of operation was the only time in its history that I went in willingly.

I'll agree on F&F Supercharged at USF...what a waste of space.

One other for me is the current Journey into Imagination with Figment, which is a poor imitation of it's original form and completely forgettable. I'm also not a big fan of the The Seas with Nemo & Friends ride...I find Nemo's giggle as irritating as the Small World theme song after the first five minutes. The movie was wonderful, the attraction itself is fine, the idea is good, but the laugh is repeated over and over ad nauseam.

Yeah, Imagination has not been touched since I was a kid. I love taking first-timers on it for their reactions 🤣.

For the seas, I always think of the hydrolators which I was very lucky to have experienced. I think the Seas With Nemo And Friends is not the worst, but it does make me think of how simple things were back in the day.

Good question...hmmmmm....Iron Wolf coaster Six Flags Great America (Gurnee). Beat the crap out of me.

My most recent beating was the Incredible Hulk at Islands Of Adventure....one day they should change the restraints or give it the Decepticoaster love.

Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens, which is somehow the most popular coaster at the park. Last time I was there with my family, they all were able to go on 4 rides when I waited in line the entire time just to go on Mind Eraser once. It was not worth it. It is rougher than Twister II (At the time) now renamed and rethemed, Twister III, which the themeing is pathetic. They literally took an old RV, flipped it on it's side and were like, yup... Best 50 bucks ever spent. They re-did the track for Twister and, to no avail, it did absolutely nothing. I know wooden coasters are designed to be rough, but man... It's really weird how when you are watching a coaster go by with bolts falling on the ground versus riding it, it feels way faster. I tend to clutch to my seat and restraints and I never raise my hands because it feels like I will fall out lol. West Coast Racers at Magic Mountain on my birthday last year was absolutely insane. I like and dislike coasters. Some are really fun, but whenever I ride a fast one, I lose my breath a lot. So, I have a love/hate relationship with coasters and I know I refuse to ride the big ones, so Cody, no I will not be riding The Hulk with you once we go to Universal... Lol I guess I just don't like being flung around, but BTMR has been my favorite coaster since I was a kid. Space Mountain at that age freaked me out too, I was crying the whole time, lol.

All very good examples of poor attractions... but they all pale in comparison to the two worst examples of theme park attractions ever...

Superstar Limo at California Adventure and The Rocket Rods at Disneyland Anaheim.

My SO and I went to DLA for our honeymoon in '99. Three hours in line and 2 breakdowns later, we got to ride what replaced my beloved PeopleMover. 3 minutes later I got off the Rocket Rods feeling like I might throw up... which actually would have been a blessing.

I ate a bug on the ride itself. ::barf::

Superstar Limo would wait until our next trip in 2001. What a bazaar and surreal experience! It's only saving grace was that it had almost no line. (which honestly should have been a red flag right away)

I've only regretted riding two attractions in my life, and those are they.

Good ones. Superstar was pretty bad....so much that I have erased it from my memory. A lot of people didn't like Rocket Rods. While it wasn't what they had hoped, I kind thought it was OK. At the time my kids thought it was great - like it was their first thrill ride....so it wasn't all that bad in my case. For Adults...not the best replacement for the PM. Even more than the ride itself....that's some decrepit structure that really needs to be removed to spruce up that area.
