Disney Survivor: Most overrated rides

Thought this could be fun for a little bit of a change. This time, pick points off from your favorite. I tried to pick two from ever park, but couldn't decide which other one to pick from Animal Kingdom. I picked most of them on wait time verses experience. For example, Astro Orbiter may be fun, but it is honestly worth waiting thirty minutes or longer for? Toy Story Mania had to be included because while it may be the best ride in all of Disney, is worth waiting well over an hour for? And I didn't include rides just because they were bad like Stitch. It may not not the most comprehensive list, but it is a start. So what do you think? Don't forget, take points away from the one you like this time.

Astro Orbiter - 5
Peter Pan's Flight - 5
Mission Space - 5
Universe of Energy - 5
The Great Movie Ride - 5
Toy Story Mania - 5
Primeval Whirl - 5

I've seen some people around here complain about the Great Movie Ride, but for me it is okay to keep somethings classic, and this is as classic as it gets for me.

One off from Peter Pan. You made me really wonder if I think Toy Story Mania is worth that hour wait! It's AWESOME but that line is always Sooooo long!

It is clearly headed out, but I hope it is understood why I included TSM. If you have a fastpass it is great. If you don't, you have to sacrifice a lot of your day.

I started this thinking Peter Pan's Flight was the clear winner, and actually I still do. Primeval Whirl should have had 3. And as of thsi post, Movie Ride has 2.

Another from Universe of Energy.

I'm sure I would love Mission: Space if it weren't for my motion sickness issues. But with that problem, I won't even risk the "tame" side. Some days it doesn't take much, and no way I'm ruining an entire Disney day just for one ride.

Since the GMR was already gone, I'm going to have to go with Mission Space.

Also, it doesn't look like anyone actually declared that they took one from Astro Orbiter. It looks like it just somehow lost a point somewhere along the line, unless I just missed it somewhere.

Someone did deduct one from Astro Orbiter - I remember because the person misunderstood and explained that he/she was deducting from his/her least favorite ride on the list. Looks like whoever it was figured out what was going on and deleted the post. So if you want to add one back, go ahead.
