Rides you have fallen asleep on?

So I'm thinking back to my last visit to EPCOT, where a combination of jetlag and the ride stopping for an extended period with my pod in a dark section towards the end of the ride led to me drifting off for a bit on Spaceship Earth.

Has anyone else fallen asleep on a ride before. Literally I mean though...I don't want people posting that they fell asleep on a B&M Hyper etc etc.

That crap dark/boat ride at Pleasurewood Hills.

Well it was actually before it became 'That crap dark/boat ride at Pleasurewood Hills', it used to be some under water fantasy type ride. The boats literally travel along at .5mph, and it just had nice soothing sound effects....ZzZzZzZzZz

Another Epcot story - I recall me and my three friends fell asleep for some of Ellen's Energy Adventure which apart from being a strange ride, was also pretty boring and probably one of the worst rides I've experienced.

Never.
Not sure I could even on the most dreadfully boring of rides.
I mean...there's still too much happening. Maybe if I was crazy tired.

If it ever could happen though maybe one of those circle swing rides. The old school ones, maybe 30 feet high. They are just pretty dull and kinda relaxing so maybe that could do it.

I've fallen asleep on Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot as well but It was really hot and a 45 minute air-conditioned ride with no sleep the night before. I've also fallen asleep spaceship earth. It was right after Ellen's Energy Adventure.

Ellen's Energy Adventure?
I think I somehow missed this at EPCOT, and maybe a good thing.
Though it sounds borderline pornographic

On the subject of old pleasurewood hills - do you remember that little animatronic graveyard puppet show? That speech synthesizer computer(which everyone tried to enter swear words into) and hologram display? and even further back - the self service barbecues?


ahhhh - memories!

Speaking of Epcot...that test track ride was a massive let down, and a sleeper.

Missed it as a kid and my heart was broken, then many years later I finally get on and it turns out the ride is 4 minutes of slowly driving around a building while stupid things happen...then for a few seconds it goes really fast.

I could've snoozed during all that inside crap

The animatronic show was pretty neat - I think it was in a graveyard, and at one part the puppets are dancing to the monster mash!

The speech synthesizer was in a section with all sorts of holograms - there was a note by it saying to enter your name and it would say it, but don't swear as it upsets me - if you did enter a swear word it said something like "naughty naughty, wash your mouth out".. The synthesizing itself was pretty awful!

Remember the wonderful world of storybooks?
