This is gonna be a tough one...for all of you!

:thedolls:

Bottom line, what is your favorite ride in all of WDW?

I have so many I love, and would be disappointed if I didn't get to ride on during a visit. TTA, Pirates, HM, Test Track, Space Mountain, and on and on...

But my #1 is
Spaceship Earth!

I rode this the first time when I was 15 and each time I ride it I feel the same. It sounds corny as heck but that first ride in '95 changed my life! I love that ride mostly because of the feeling I get each time I ride it. I also love the long time of the ride, the animatronics, and the ability to hear it in different languages now. I don't have a negative thing to say about it...other than it's not long enough. Why should universe of energy get 35 min and SE only gets 13? lol...

So let's hear it..favorite ride in all of WDW!

Actually, it's a very easy question for me. My favorite ride in all of WDW is Kilimanjaro Safaris. :flamingo:

14 days until my family returns to WDW. We havent been since 2007 so we havent tried TSM or the new Star Tours... but based on what we have experienced my favorite would be the American Experience. Just something about the pavilion inside with all the nations flags, the pre show with the singers, and then the main show. If you dont leave this attraction proud to be an American you must have slept thru it!

This is a hard question. I am torn between 3 rides, HM, POTC, and SE. I'm going with POTC. :pirate:

I have 4 kids (Disney nuts, all) and 7 (and a half) grandkids (ditto on the nuts!)...and love them all...no favorites...I have a special memory of each of the 11, on a WDW ride, so I have at least 11 favorites....Oh, I have one wife, and she is my favorite! (47 years next week) So our favorite, for the 11 reasons above, and other special memories, is POTC.

Splash Mountain is our family's favorite theme park attraction anywhere in the world. :number1:

I can't just have one, it's WDW! I think it'll be a lot better if I just make a list: Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz, POTC, HM, Jungle Cruise, Tea Cups, Test Track, Soarin', Figment, Spaceship Earth, Rockin' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, The Great Movie Ride, Star Tours, Toy Story Mania, Backlot Tour, Epedition Everest, and Killimanjaro Safaris. I believe those are all my main favorites!

Space Mountain. I know it's not the biggest thrill or most technological ride, but very nostalgic for me and it's just fun.

06-06-2011, 02:38 PM
I would have said Spaceship Earth a few years ago, during the Jeremy Irons reign, but I'm not a big fan of the new version. I might have to go with Peter Pan. Classic Disney, and it has that magical feel to it :mickey:

AgentC
06-06-2011, 03:59 PM
This is a hard one but I think I'd go with Tower of Terror. I love thrill rides especially those that give you that dropping stomach feeling. It has a story and great theming/atmosphere.

My nostalgic favorites are POTC and HM.

Yeah I liked that version more too, and could do without the cartoony ending but it's still top dog with Space Mountain nipping at its heels.

RnRC. One trip we went for a week and it was the only ride we went on.

WHAT!?!?!? Seriously?

I can't narrow it down to only one but my favorite dark ride is the Haunted Mansion and my other favorite is Rock 'n Roller Coaster but I do have to go on other rides too!;)

06-06-2011, 11:03 PM
Immediately, Big Thunder Mountain comes to mind! It is our family fav and we go on it several times each trip!

06-06-2011, 11:12 PM
No contest...Rockin Roller Coaster!!! I mean, the intro, the launch, the rolls, the music...good Lord!!! I WILL not go to WDW and miss that!

Well I'm going to cheat & name my favorite ride in each park!

MK - Spl Mtn
Epcot - Soarin
DHS - TSM
AK - Dinosaur

I had a hard time doing even that! I know it's silly, but I love love love the TTA! Call me lame, I love JIYI! :blush: My fam acts so silly on that ride, it's just special for us! :thumbsup:

So hard! Almost every singe ride I am on, while I am on it, I find myself thinking "This is my favorite!" But if I had to pick one, I would probably g with Soarin.

I'm going to add to my previous post and say that although my nostalgic favorite is Space Mountain, I really love tower of Terror. Sure the drop is fun, but all along the entire queue the attention to detail is incredible. If you're a fan of the Twilight Zone series, there are lots of references to different episodes in the "holding room" (where they play the intro on the tv). Just a really enjoyable experience overall.

Actually, not a hard question. Without hesitation its BTMRR.
I get motion sick on most rollercoasters, so I was apprehensive going on it the first time. I just remember laughing and laughing, with no hint of :sick: . I've loved it ever since.

Another vote for Tower of Terror here!

Bellerella
06-07-2011, 05:26 PM
There are so many! But I think I will have to go with Dinosaur. I love how thrilling it is; it is just out of this world! For me it is not scary-thrilling, but exciting-thrilling. There is so much to see! My second favorite ride is Killimanjaro Safaris. I will probably never to make to Africa to see a real safari, but I can't imagine it being better than this! :cloud9:

I love Expedition Everest! I love that it can make me feel chilly on a blazing hot central FL day, and I love the way my DS screams with glee when we ride it!

Tough (and not just being a bug :))!

Torn between Soarin', ToT, & Kilimanjaro Safari eventhough DW said the aeroplane that takes us back to WDW!

Decision time...

Safari just takes it. We miss the "They're Tommies! TOMMIES!" line.

The Flying Dutchman
06-12-2011, 08:58 AM
POTC! Just something about the ride that I can't help but love. From the moment I start walking into the fort and the smell hits you, I just can't help but be excited.

We did the same during Spectro a couple years ago! Do you have to even ask which ride is my favorite??

06-20-2011, 03:07 PM
It used to be Horizons, and then Spaceship Earth. Now after the refurb, I'd have to go with CoP.

It's not a tough question for me! My favorite ride on Disney property is Splash Mountain, no joke.

(I'm choosing to ignore that 80 percent of the effects are broken right now, even though the attraction went through an extensive rehab last winter.)

There are a bunch more, but if I have to choose one, this is it!

It was Rock n roller coaster when I was younger, then when I saw my daughter light up on haunted mansion and we rode it about 10 times on our last trip without getting tired of it... That became my favorite

This is really tough!

Pirates is right up there. I haven't been on the new Star Tours yet, or Toy Story Mania (32 days and counting 'til we're there).

And I really love Space Mountain and Big Thunder.

I think Space Mountain takes it by a nose for me. For now!

07-15-2011, 02:31 PM
My favorite is EE when it is dark, our annually trip to Disney is in January and always ride EE a few times after dark. Unfortunately, now that they have down away with EMH at AK I will have to find something else.

Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride. period! :-) Which is funny because I was scared to death of it and wouldn't ride at all when I was little.

My second favorite would probably be either Soarin or Test Track. I'm not sure if I could choose between the two. :-)

I want to throw in a trip to the Monorail. Not a ride per se, but something i associate with Disney. Anyone else feel that way? Though I love the parade music on the bus when you pull onto the MK property.

This is going to sound weird, but I really think my favorite attraction is the PeopleMover. It's a short/no wait, I get to see the amazing EPCOT scale model, and get to relax. I feel like I am truely at my 'happy place' when I am on it.

Disney Hungarian
08-05-2011, 04:52 PM
Since I can't ride Horizons anymore, except in my mind with the help of youtube. (peeling an orange while watching helps)

I will have to go with my second favorite ride that I can't do without.

The WedWay People mover or whatever they want to call it these days.:mickey:
