    Default Year of 100 Questions: #5

    Today we bring the questioning back into the parks -- in particular, a high profile battle in Epcot's Future World.

    Just a reminder...if you haven't voted in earlier rounds, you may still do so. I leave the poll open for about 7 days, so there's still 2 days left for question #1 and more for the rest. I will comment on the results in groups of about 10 once the polls close for all the questions in the group.

    So, is it Soarin' or Test Track?

    Also, look for question #6, most likely Wednesday, in Accommodations.

    Had to go with Soarin' on this one!! This was an amazing experience. We did this with my father-in-law who is from California. Even he said it was a great representation of the state. We went on about it so much that we convinced my mother-in-law (who is also from California) to go on it this year.

    Test Track. It is a thrill ride and I prefer thrill rides. Any seat on this ride is OK, not like the 3rd row in any of the sections on Soarin'.

    I'm a big fan of both rides, but I went with Soarin'. My favorite part of TT is the 0-60 at then end, while I truly enjoy the entire multi-sensory Soarin' experience...

    I haven't tried Soarin' so I voted for Test Track, which is somewhere in my top ten favorite rides. I like it because of the variety of experiences, not just the thrills, that you can get on this ride.

    I also like the queue and the pre-show, and though I don't imagine myself buying anything, I think the gift shop is nicely themed for the ride.

    I really like them both, but Test Track wins by a nose for me.

    I also went with Test Track, although both are definitely in my top 5 or so for all of WDW. Soarin' loses some points for the queue and the difficulty of riding (meaning waits or FPs), but they're both a "must do" on any Epcot visit.

    I voted Soarin'.

    Although I enjoy Test Track, I drive crazier than the ride so I can't consider it a thrill ride.

    It just seems that so often when I've ridden Test Track, it stops somewhere in the testing phase. Had to go with Soarin' !

    What a tough call. While I love both, Soarin, being newer, is on my must-do list. Test Track I have ridden hundreds of times, and I could miss it every once in a while!

    My thoughts exactly.

    That and Soarin's music is so pretty...

    This is a tough one. Really it could go either way and I appreciate both on so many levels, but I voted for Test Track.

    Soarin gets my vote. Both are great, but the immersiveness of Soarin tips the scale.

    I haven't tried TT, so I went with Soarin'. On my next trip I hope to be able to do both of them.

    I think both are overrated and have lines that boggle the mind but Soarin' still beats Test Track by a long shot in my book.

    i just like the high speeds on test track but i have nothing against soarin'
    You may leave the magic, but your heart will always be there (psst. I'm bored) (P.S. probably will be until I return to my true home {DISNEY})

    Although I like Soarin', I had to go with Test Track b/c it is a thrill ride.
