If you can laugh at it, you'll probably enjoy it. Camp comedy, mostly unintentional, for sure. Just like being able to enjoy those campy 1950's horror flicks. I kind of expected the Creature from the Black Lagoon to pop out of the drone, that everyone thinks is a helicopter. If they have to keep telling everyone it's a drone, then they didn't do a very good job conveying that.
After these uses, didn’t they even just throw some benches into this indoor area and marked it on the park maps as an ‘attraction’ to cool down in?!
You were referring to Disney attractions
In the Army we used to refer to this as a learning experience. It is also known as a teachable moment.
I'll agree on the better the more rides. Once I accepted the campiness, it wasn't so bad. But I still have to rate it on the low tier of Universal attractions. My GF though, still hated it after repeat rides. I will ride it once or twice a vacation, but I'll have to go on myself since Alene says never again. The poor quality of the 360 screen scene is my major disappointment. The ride would be better if they had Kong quality 360 scenes.
The Jack Sparrow thing was never "hated". It wasn't actually all that bad either. It's just that it always had a line because the park has no rides. If it had been in Disneyland, it would've been considered a nice diversion with little to no wait.
I think campy can sometimes be used to excuse a bad attraction
