![]() ![]() It’s a similar story with some of the attractions on this list. Meanwhile, older films like Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and other old films still hold up because they didn’t get carried away. We might call this “The Mummy Returns Effect.” That 2001 film leaned very much into bleeding edge (at the time) CGI, and the result is Dwayne Johnson’s Scorpion King now looking like it was rendered by a Sega Dreamcast. In other cases, attractions take a very contemporary approach to technology that simply does not hold up years later. ![]() The commonality isn’t that they’re bad, but rather, that time has passed them by. This usually means technology has made them obsolete. There are plenty of examples of older attractions receiving redos that inject then-current technology, and incongruity appears between the original and updated components over time. To the contrary, many rides on this list once were great, and still are in spite of that datedness. But who knows, maybe the upcoming adaptation featuring * checks notes* Jared Leto will be what finally puts Haunted Mansion on the map!Īging poorly is not necessarily indicative of an attraction’s quality. It didn’t enter the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a movie adaptation no one saw that scored 14% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It would be easy to attribute that to one commonality, that all have received movie adaptations to keep interest high.

However, there are a lot of rides at Walt Disney World that have not fared so well, instead becoming increasingly outdated or even obsolete.
