I'm not much for rating things, but I'd say that it is a shame that quite a few adults don't even bother with the Fantasyland rides.

Not only are they entertaining, but they are classics!

Pooh is underrated. It reminds me so much of how I would watch the movie all the time as a kid :]
Nemo is overrated. Yeah, the projection screens are all your looking at. They could have made it cooler.

Anytime! Nah, it's not that I dislike it or anything, but you hear so much about how unbefreakinglievably amazing it is, and then it's really just a short jaunt through relatively standard Fantasyland dark ride scenery. Granted, the suspended vehicles add an element of originality and a few of the effects are pretty good, but it's not the standout I expected it to be after all I heard about it.

Pooh is underrated.
Fantasyland dark rides are underrated, except for Peter Pan, which is overrated.
BTMR is underrated.
Haunted Mansion is highly, highly overrated. It's good, but not the legend some make it out to be.


When may I expect the death squad after me?

I would say it really depends on who's doing the rating. I guess I would say Space Mountain is overrated and BTMRR is underrated by most. Pretty much all dark rides other than Indy are underrated by the public, but I agree with Data that Pan is probably a little overrated by the fans, myself included. POTC is probably overrated by the fan community too, even though it still is in the top 5 rides of all time. Most rides including Pooh get about what they deserve though IMO.

Re: Of all the rides in Disneyland, which one is the most overrated or undrrated ?

It's not really possible for HM, Pirates, Space Mountain, or Indy to become overrated. Anyone who feels differently just hasn't reached the level of enlightenment I have.

Kidding. But seriously, my appreciation for these has just skyrocketed over time. I still remember a time when I would have thought HM was way overrated. I know better now.

Overrated

Pooh is STILL overrated.

Screamin' is overrated.

Innoventions is overrated - even with as low as it's rated.

Buzz - overrated

Small World - overrated

Autopia - overrated

ToT - overrated



Underrated

Pinnochio - underrated

Casey Jr - underrated

Nemo - underrated

Monsters Inc - underrated

Matterhorn - underrated

HISTA - there's some serious dislike for this attracttion, which I think makes it underrated.

Animation Building - and it's attractions - underrated.

HISTA is indeed underrated, at least on MiceChat. Not so much in real life. And it's not because it's a great attraction or anything, but simply because there's nothing in it to warrant the disproportionate hatred it often receives around here, IMO.
