Most missed ride at UO

[d a n n y]

What is the ride/show you miss most? Mine is really close between Kong/BttF, but Kong cannot be compared to any other theme park attraction.

Ghostbusters..I honestly cried when I heard it was leaving.

Kongfrontation, hands down. That ride terrified me as a kid, but now that I can't have it I'm wishing it were there. lol

 

[FGCU]

I also agree - it is Kong. I think many of us are in the age group where we rode it as a kid...and it was great. The smell, the themeing, I think it had many aspects people will always remember if they ever rode it.

Ah yes...the smell. Loved it. Sometimes I smell something that reminds me of it and it makes me sad.

Kong for me.

There's something about that darn dirty ape.

I voted for Kong although I'll admit to having a hard time remembering a lot of the details about the ride. :-X

Man, when making a poll why doesn't anybody click the radio button where the option is being able to see who voted for what answer? It's near the bottom. Check it out.

Even though I really love and miss BTTF, I voted for Kong. That ride I felt was the best ride UO had ever made and it's a shame they closed it for ROTM.

 

[Brian G.]

Where's the love for Ghostbuster? At least Kong got a worthy replacement.

 

[Roll N Fear]

As much as I liked Kong, ROTM surappsed Kongs capabilites and was a worthy trade.

My vote goes for the Trike encounter simply cause we loast one of the few attractions in JP and never got another one in reutrn.

Ghostbusters..I honestly cried when I heard it was leaving.

I miss the Ghostbusters thing too... wish they would bring back something GB! Only another movie would do that, not sure the new video game with inspire it enough. Too bad. Dr. Peter Venkman is my hero

I miss BTTF, neck pain and all.

 

[Mt. Drew]

This was a tough decision. I guess since it really hasn't been TOO long since BttF, R.I.P, has been replaced, I haven't missed it as much as Kong. Kong was my first ever ride at USF and it will always hold a special place in my heart..damn I really am a theme park freak. But I'm sure once The Simpsons ride opens and I ride it for the first time, the reality that I will never ride BttF again will hit me.

im gona miss BTTF for sure, i love the films and riding the ride realy made you feel like you were 'riding the movies'

sorry but the actors on kong always seemed a bit... now how should i put this..... disappointing compared to T2:3D and Jaws.

i wish i got to do bttf a few more times. why do i have to live so far away from orlando!!! grrr

 

[snoman]

I do miss the guilty pleasure of Ghostbusters but Kong is for sure my most missed attraction at USF. Anyone ever wonder, or know, what they did with all the giant monkey parts? Tell me that wouldn't be cool say at HHN, you walk around a dark corner and straight into Kong's head!

 

[d a n n y]

There are multiple rumours but I saw pics of Kong's hand and a tram that they auctioned off. I think the owner of Universal Excitement has them but I'm not sure.

 

[Beachgurl]

Kong is dominating. :happy:

 

[RandomHero]

I think i miss kong the most cause since i moved from NY to miami everytime i was on kong it brought back some memories of NY.. I mean they had it down packed with the shape of the buildings to the hot dog stand.. even the smell! it was amazing...

One thing is stuck in my head for sure... there was this tv show i used to watch alot. It was a girl that used to talk to her dad thru a glass pyramid that glowed and she could freeze time.. dont remember the name of the show. But one day in line for the ride they played a clip of it on the tv monitor and it just made me all wow! i cant explain its like.. omg i feel like a kid again...

 

[kirby_is_kyaan]

BttF, since that was the only one I ever rode. Awesome ride, but I am excited for the Simpsons. Compared to how I feel about it going, I bet allie is crying in a corner or something. Just kiddng.

 

[Brian G.]

Honestly, I miss the Hitchcock attraction too.
