Rides Kids Don't Appreciate

There are a lot of "rides" at WDW that I imagine would be kind of boring for kids but I find really interesting. The two that spring to mind are:

Hall Of Presidents
Living With The Land

What are some others?

Any attraction besides Maelstrom or El Rio Del Tiempo in World Showcase--movies, American Adventure, etc...kids think they're BORING.

Uh, I'm a adult, (At least that's what my therapist told me today) and I don't like the Hall of Presidents.

TTA seems to be one adults enjoy more than kids. And I have notice a lot of kids not liking the Great movie ride because they don't know the movies.

Good one. They don't remember any of it, and they don't understand a lot of the jokes.

Another good point.

Marzyar, I wouldn't say I'd see Hall of Presidents every trip, but I'd still say I'm more likely to enjoy it than a 13 year old.

TTA has the big advantage to being relaxing, which doesn't mean nearly as much to kids.

I guess that's one of the major attractions to these long, sit-down rides--you get off your feet for a few minutes! Maybe that's why kids don't see the beauty in them!

I think there's a difference between relaxing and getting off your feet. Kids just have too much pent up energy. They don't appreciate stuff like lying on a beach. They want to run around and swim. Same thing with the slow paced rides.

My old feet don't get that tired, but I still like to chill. Ok to be honest my old feet do get tired, but I still don't think that's why I like relaxing so much!

Hrm...speaking of which, what percentage of trips do you guys even go to the Hall of Presidents. I have to confess we almost always skip it.

50% I try not to miss anything twice in a row. But as I go more frequently that I youst to I may start making exceptions.

(HIStA, LMA, and EEA, you know who you are...)

I haven't seen HIStA or EEA in years, but I'm not sure what LMA is...

Ah, yes. Definitely not an every trip activity. Add to that list IJSS and B&TB...

I think that's a highly under-rated ride. I actually think though that kids probably like that ride better than adults.

Absolutely! Once they get over their fear of heights...
