    Default Anyone Else Think LMA is L-A-M-E???!!!

    Is it just me? Or do others of you feel Lights. Motors. Action! is jus plain boring and not worth the effort. I've seen it two times and honestly I don't think I'll watch it again. It's very loud. Smells of burnt rubber and fuel. And it's kinda dull, in my opinion. what do you think?

    It's a huge hit in my house but I have 3 & 5 yo boys. Anything with cars and explosions really makes them happy!!!!

    My husband loves it. Me? Not as much. But it is one of the few things that he insists on doing every trip.

    We've done it many times, but I have to be honest, our last 2 trips, it was so hot & humid we all voted that it was one attraction that we could skip! We really do enjoy the action tho! Of course I too have 2 DS's, although they are 14 & 15, they & DH like most guys, enjoy the cars, high speed chases, & explosions!

    I understand. I haven't seen it. I had the opportunity to see it in 2010, and yet I skipped it. I may watch it in 2012, if I get there.

    In 5 years of being an AP holder, we've never been. Probably expresses my opinion on it!

    Saw it for the first time this year and really enjoyed it, and it was my (then) 6-year-old's favorite. He talked about it for months.

    Big kids didn't see it, so we'll definitely go again on the next trip.

    I think for young boys, it's probably really cool! But, we don't feel the need to see it again. We've done it three times now, and it's not a must see any longer. Maybe if they change it up a little bit, refresh it, then we will probably try it again.

    "It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
    "So it is."
    "And freezing."
    "Is it?"
    "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

    We enjoy it, it's not a "must see" for us though.
    Now, my father (age 79) loves it. That's one of the attractions he talks about when he says he want to go back. The other ride he loves is R-n-Rc.

    We've only seen it once and I enjoyed it. I don't think it's lame, although that could change after some more viewings.

    It wouldn't break my heart if I wasn't able to see it on a trip to Disney World. If I had to choose between Lights, Motors, Action! and say, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, I'd go with the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular.

    Burnt rubber, exhaust fumes, explosions, and loud engine noises.....think I'll sit through a NASCAR race instead.

    Yep, not a winner in our house either. I have two boys. They were 6 and 4 the first (and only) time we ever went to LMA. At that time they loved Cars and Herbie, but still the show was never a "must do again" for them. On every trip I ask if anyone wants to see it again. On every trip I get a round of "NOs" from both of my kids as well as my hubby. I'm sure there are many that love it, but I always thing what a huge waste of space that area of the park is.

    Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is just as old. And yes I would consider both a tad boring. For Indiana, a lot of things have been removed or changed which detracted from the show. LMA is ok, but like Indiana, not a must see.
    First trip August 1975

    Honeymoon trip Sept-Oct 2010

    șoș It all started with a Mouse.

    Your trip is what you want it to be and it will turn out just how you want it.

    Seeing it once was enough...Had to see it because it was there, but will never get that park time back!!

    Would much rather see the Backstage Tour expanded and enhanced (plussed!!!)

    I thought it was great the first time. Not so much the second time. Only seen it one other time since. Definitely only something to see once in a while.

    Might be time to change the routine.
