I never did ride SSL and apparently it's a good thing.

Everyone should experience it, alphabassett.....view the video.....I double dog dare you.

Looking on the bright side... If Superstar Limo had remained open, we probably would not be getting the new ride, "Monsters, Inc.: Mike and Sully to the Rescue." Good-bye L.A., hello Monstropolis!

Yeah, SSL was a major WTF experience for me. Heather and I were at DCA during the early days, and we were determined to experience all the park had to offer. What a lame-o attraction.

Last week, I was engaged in a couple of off-board conversations (can you believe it?) about quantifying 'Disney Magic' - and rating various experiences on a DM percentage scale. I don't want to derail this thread with all the details, but needless to say everyone I talked with agreed that SSL had less than 5% DM (I put it at 0).

By my calculations (which are long and complex and confuse most people so I'll spare you the technical details), SSL has a negative DM quotient. It actually sucks Disney Magic right out of you. I've yet to come up with an exact figure but it hovers around the -10 to -20% mark, meaning that it takes about 10 to 20 percent of your accrued daily DM out of your system.

This kind of "sucking", to use the vernacular, can be quite a shock.

I never road SSL.

And I have to say that I am grateful for that. What an awful piece of crap that was!

I am sitting here stunned that that ride even existed.

The only thing I can think of is that somebody dared somebody else to come up with the worst ride imaginable knowing that it would get rejected.

Except it didn't.

I feel so icky now

Thanks for the visual too KevyBaby.

SSL was so bad that when I went on it all I could say was "O god this is so bad" constantly. The final photo op was me staring at the camera and saying "Are you guys kidding me?" SSL was awful, tasteless, meaningless and beyond saving. It needed to be burned immediately to the ground and the ground consecrated afterwards. I'd put that ride right up there with any dark ride at the Orange County Fair. Actually those are better.

The thread has been resurrected. This must mean someone still needs to view the video.....

You know, I downloaded the video......but I haven't watched it yet. I may have to change my screen name.

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.
