This so far was the toughest second round voting have had to do. However, since I am very partial to Song of the South, I had to pick Splash Mountain. It is also a wicked log flume ride with great theming and a nice drop into the brier patch. Not to mention those lovely poses girls used to make for the ride photos. That HAS to count for something.

TOO TRUE! but I have to go with HM...classic all the way and with the new enhancements its great!

[BritCody]

This for me will be the toughest vote this tournament. Splash is my second most favorite ride in WDW. Unfortunately for Splash, Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride in WDW. Haunted is the definition of a classic Disney ride!!!

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

I do think that this will be hard for so many people.

I went with Haunted Mansion, my favourite Disney ride!

[indytraveler]

Haunted Mansion since the refurb last year.

[KineGirl]

Haunted Mansion is the all time greatest ride ever! :ghost:

[FromKnoxvilleto Disney]

In all serious matters of this difficulty I usually flip a coin. Splash by a coin toss but definitely close because these are two of the best. Maybe I should do two out of three!!!!

[dumbo ears]

Mansion all the way. nothins better

[peemagg]

I chose Splash only because of the flume. I do love Haunted Mansion also.

[Kairi_7378]

This is going to be tough for many people! These are my husband's two favorite rides.

The imagineering behind Splash Mountain is incredible. Only at Disney would you have a plain log flume ride turned into a cruise through a cartoon. It feels so alive in there.

But... the Haunted Mansion is another wonderfully themed ride. There is soooo much detail on this. I loved the enhancements when we last rode it. So it has to get my vote.

[Grim Grinning Marathon Runner]

This is a very tough choice. HM is without a doubt my favorite attraction, but Splash Mountain runs a very close second. They are both timeless, fun rides that I can do over and over again. Every time we go to WDW, we have to do each of these rides AT LEAST once.

This will be a close vote I bet.

poses? almost made me vote for Splash.
i like both both HM edges SM

[beksy]

Wow, I love them both! I had to go with Splash though. I love the theming, the songs, and getting cooled off on hot days! Plus, it has sentimental value--it was the first "thrill" ride my sister ever rode. :mickey:

[alilprincessmom99]

This was a difficult one to say the very least. I chose Haunted Mansion because it is one of my all time favorite rides in all of WDW.

[Mad About Mickey]

Wow what a tough pick. I really love Splash Mountain, Song of the South was my one of my favorite movies as a child and the theming here is great. But I had to go with the old school Haunted Mansion, 35 years later I can still remember that first ride in a doom buggy:hmghost:, and I still love it, classic :mickey:.

[mrsgaribaldi]

I was going to vote for HM, it's a classic and it was my favorite as a child. But the poll says which one do you enjoy more? and to be fair, I enjoy Splash more. I'm screaming with laughter at the end of Splash and I love the ride leading up to the fall:mickey:

[laward32]

I had to go with HM. We ride it alot while we are in the World. I have only rode SM once and it was an awesome ride, but HM is the best. :mickey:

[Mickey91]

Splash Mountain

[RAIDER]

An evil match up :thedolls:..... I went for splash mountain its a ride i could go straight back over and over again unlike haunted mansion :thumbsup:

[GrmGrninGost]

Tomb sweet tomb! :hmghost:

[avantgardeinker]

ooooohh!! Now it's getting interesting!! I had to go with Splash Moutain on this one. It's the only taste of Song of the South I'll ever have. I really wish they would release that on DVD.

:mickey:

[c&d]

Really tough choice, but Splash Mountain only because of the music. They are both great rides.

[disney07]

OMG this one is tough. I love splash but i have go with the ghostly ones.

[Crystal]

Haunted Mansion!! :mickey:

[jszczur5]

I like HM, but LOVE SM. I am looking forward to the revamped HM though, as it was closed last summer when we were there. Apparently my least favourite part, the popping heads in the cemetery, was left relatively unchanged. DARN - those things really startle me. They are so cheesy, but they freak me anyway.

[kbean]

My two favs. I had to go with Splash mountain. I love the Laughing Hole!!!

[jonahbear2006]

Haunted Mansion, Definitely. I love Splash mountain, however I truly only like the splash at the end. I get really tired of the laughin place real fast, esp. if we ride it twice.

[Minniefan68]

Haunted Mansion! Like other posters said: "Classic, original, old school"

Love the new attic scene and the stairs - great enhancements.

Splash if fun, but I just don't get the same visual enjoyment.

Cheryl:hmghost:

[Minnie Imagineer]

HM is my favorite ride in MK!!!! It just feels so magical because of the role play with the CMs!!
:hmghost: :ghost:

[Polynesian Dweller]

Splash Mountain hear but that was one tough choice! They are different type rides so hard to compare.

[cgriff]

Zip-a-dee-doo-daaaaaahhhhh!!!

[WDWFREAK101]

I LOVE Splash Mountain but I think that Haunted Mansion is a classic and you can ride the Haunted Mansion all day and STILL not get bored. Splash Mountain can get old after about 3 times.

[bruin1344]

Splash Mountain is my favorite ride is WDW

Haunted Mansion is a great non-thrill ride but i like SM better
