  • Evil Is Sexy:
    • Doctor Doom on Doctor Doom's Fearfall has a commanding voice and chews the scenery unlike any other incarnation of the character. That laugh at the end of the ride...
    • Megatron on Transformers: The Ride is perfect for robot fans, and his guttural growl will have you in love.
    • Lord Darkenon from the now-dead Poseidon's Fury show had his share of fangirls, mostly due to his voice actor also voicing Brainiac in Injustice 2.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • The two videos Jimmy Fallon put on his show of him/the other cast members riding the thrill rides at the Orlando park. Special mention goes to one of The Roots screaming a Cluster Bleep Bomb on Doctor Doom's Fearfall. The Ellen DeGeneres video of that same ride, sadly, doesn't match that level of comedy.
    • How bad The Fast and the Furious: Supercharged is makes for recurring jokes within the community. Even the cast members have caught on, making the ride the possible Universal equivalent of the Disney Theme Parks' Jungle Cruise.
  • Replacement Scrappy: Fans of Back to The Future: The Ride didn't have nice things to say about The Simpsons Ride.
  • Ruined FOREVER: The unexpected closing of Orlando's Jaws ride at the end of 2011 likely elicited this response from more than a few people.
  • Squick: When Maggie puts you in her mouth in The Simpsons Ride. It even smells like baby powder! At least one theme park fan said they'd rather be in Wolverine's mouth.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks:
    • Many a Nickelodeon fan's reaction when Nickelodeon Studios, where various comedies and game shows were produced, gave way to a theater hosting Blue Man Group.
    • The entire Hanna-Barbera/Nicktoon/Despicable Me debacle.
