THE WASHINGTON POST just ran a piece listing the top 10 overrated tourist spots. Here's the list they generated. There are a couple more I might add if given the chance.
10. Any Madame Tussauds wax museum
9. New York City’s Times Square
8. Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse
7. Hollywood’s Walk of Fame
6. Niagara Falls
5. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in the Louvre
4. Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace
3. Leaning Tower of Pisa
2. Munich’s Oktoberfest
1. Pamplona’s running of the bulls

What about Disneyworld? Long lines; hot in summer; very expensive.
It might have to do with expectations.
I don't even rate it so to overrate it would be difficult, but to take the first one, Madam Tussuad's: did they expect the dolls to come alive or something?
The running of the bulls I have had pretty high expectations about, must I now consider taking it off my bucket list because it doesn't last long enough and/or not enough people get close enough to dying or getting injured?
