Is There a Ride with a Better Storyline Than Spiderman? Anywhere?

Does any ride in Universal, or another park, have a better 'plot' than Spiderman? The dialogue is fantastic and quotable, the plot is coherent and makes sense (looking at you Forbidden Journey!), and the guests are 'involved' in perhaps the most realistic way we could be (hapless rookie journalists mostly just getting in Spiderman's way).

Walking out of that ride, the average person could explain what the story was and how it 'wrapped up' (pun/reference intended). How many other rides can say that? Maybe Cat and the Hat and Gringotts, but not to the same level, in my view.

Mummy and River Adventure are great but have confusing endings. (How exactly did we escape?) The big roller coasters are coherent but don't really have too much 'meat' to their plots. MIB has you suddenly neuralized even if your car maxes out. (STILL WAITING FOR MY SUIT, AGENT J! I PASSED AS A GALAXY DEFENDER, DAMMIT!)

Rides You Enjoy More Than You're Supposed To?

A bit of an unfair title since there's obviously nothing wrong with enjoying any ride. But I'm wondering which rides people enjoy despite knowing those rides aren't objectively great? For example, I LOVE MIB despite knowing it's objectively only mid-high tier, partially due to it's age. Anyone would be crazy for saying it's the 'best' ride at the parks, but it's by far my favorite.

There has to be some person out there who personally really likes Supercharged, right? ...Right?

Best Queues Compared to Rides

Which attractions would everyone say have better queues compared to their rides? Queues that you would take your time going through just to see them, if there was no line, but choose to skip the ride?

I think Supercharged is a no brainer here. I haven't seen the films, but the queue is fairly detailed and extensive, and reportedly has several easter eggs.

I would also say the Simpsons and Forbidden Journey. I think the Simpsons queue is a lot funnier than the ride itself. Forbidden Journey is fun, but the story is fairly incoherent. Meanwhile, the queue is HOGWARTS.
