Most disappointing rides

Here's another (subjective) list of rides that for a variety of reasons didn't impress me much. The upshot is that if you don't have much time, you might consider other rides before these.

Buzz Lightyear
This interactive ride is surprisingly low tech on the inside. It looked cool on the video but turned out to be a bit of a yawner in my opinion.

Art of Disney Animation
This supposed "behind the scenes" attraction was really, really weak in my opinion. A shame given the typically long lines. We happened upon a fairly short line so, not knowing any better, entered. A good part of the show was spoken in French (although translation into various languages was available on headsets).

Spinning "Up and Down" rides, e.g., Dumbo
These rides essentially go round and round, allowing you to go up and down a bit as you "orbit". I must admit that my daughter loved the "Aladdin" variant. Low throughput is my biggest complaint with these rides. As very few people fit on it each time, we saw some of the longest lines at the park for these rides. The lines also seemed to move the slowest, all for a minute and a half or so of mediocre"thrills".
