So what's your favorite theme park rides?:coaster: We've done Epcot....let's go to MK, AK, and MGM!!!:mickey::mickey::mickey:
(Note: I will do all I can to list the most popular rides, but please don't lynch me if I leave something out....I only get ten choices!)

That's an easy one for me. I LOVE RNRC. It is my favorite ride out of all the parks combined. I got to ride it 3 times in an hour when I visited in December. It was a great way to start my day at MGM.
You didn't list my favorite show at MGM but I'll mention it anyway. I love Fantasmic. I make sure to see it at least once during every trip.

No worries! Does Fantasmic count as a ride?

I voted for the Movie Ride...makes me nostalgic. :)

TOT and RnRC are both great rides but TOT gets the nod for my vote. Great themeing and fabulous ride that always makes us want to ride immediately again.:number1:

I picked Star Tours.

I like it but I choose it only for 2 reasons.
1. I like some of the other things at H. Studios better, but I don't consider most of the things on the list to be rides. I would call them shows. I don't know if that is right or not, but that's how I think of them.
2. I have been on Tower of Terror and it was cool, but it is not my favorite type of ride. I am glad I rode it, but once was enough for me.

This was easy for me - ToT. I love freefall rides, and though it's not as exhilarating as my beloved Pitfall (at my local park - Kennywood), it's pure fun.

It was a hard choice between Star Tours and Great Movie Ride.

Interesting, this place you mention "MGM Studios", seems to have the EXACT SAME rides as Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.

Both ToT and RnRC are great rides, but you can ride roller coasters everywhere. There is only one Tower of Terror that I know about. ToT got my vote as favorite ride at MGM.

Can't beat TOT for theming. It's one of the best themed rides in WDW.

Star Tours (avid Star Wars nut...) and Muppets. I looooove me some Muppets!

I loved both ToT and RnRC but I voted for ToT because it just such a unique ride with incredible theming and effects - not to mention spookiness and crazy drops!

Fantasmic is my fave show, but I also loved the Indy show and the car stunt show - both amazing (the Indy one is more humorous and the car one has more crazy stunts).

For some unkown reason I am partial towards the Great Movie ride. ToT, RnR, and Star Tours are my other Favorites

Theming gives a little edge to ToT over RnR.

Love RnRC and TOT, but I give RnRC the nod.

I like RnRC too. I've all ways love rides that go upside down.

I picked Muppet Vision only for the two old guys in the balcony that make me laugh every single time. It also is a nostalgic thing for me!!!! However RNC and TOT are awesome and get a strong honerable mention.

I voted for Star Tours. Although I love ToT and RnRC, Star Tours is a classic.

I voted for GMR, but could have easily chosen ToT, Muppets or Star Tours. And really Sounds Dangerous - Does anyone even go to that attraction???

This is a tough one.....both RNRC and TOT are my favorites but I had to go with RNRC! I hope it is running in Oct when I go....refurb last time.

01-18-2008, 06:13 PM
My choice is ToT. It's my fav ride at all the parks...the theming is fantastic and I love the different ride sequences because you never know what you're gonna get :eek:

01-18-2008, 06:38 PM
Love ToT - actually did a "get a fastpass" do stand-by and finish in time to use the fastpass a couple times last weekend.

My favorite part is when you get a sequence where you see the hologram people at the end motioning you to come back and back up you go:thumbsup:

If the timing was a little off, we would have hit RNR in between!

I don't think so....I mean, I like Drew Carey, but SD doesn't do him justice. The Monster Sound Show was SO much better, and so was Superstar Television- there was wayyyyy more audience participation! :clappy:Why do they constantly feel the need to ruin a good thing? :bang:If SST was outdated, then they should've just updated the TV shows in it! Siggghhhhh....:pout:

I voted for The Great Movie Ride, but the place I love the most in MGM/Hollywood Studios is the Muppetvision area. I would vote for Muppetvision 3d but they should really update it, it is beginning to get a bit old..

Camping Mom

Now that MGM is now Hollywood Studios, maybe they will update the GMR with some new screen footage you see while in line. Think they will change some of the inside scenes, too???

The Great Movie Ride...We were lucky and got a great "driver" this year...I love Fantasmic...Indiana Jones is great...I have not rode the RRC or ToT...I tell everyone that I am a great bag watcher...:scared:

I love TOT, but not just for the ride part of it. I love the lobby and library. I could spend a good while just looking around. They did a great job in the staging and theming of this attraction. I also love all the junk in that room at the end of the ride before the elevator doors open to let you out. There is one of those creepy ventriloquist (spelling?) dummies in there. Those thinks have always creeped me out.:mickey:

Rock N Rollercoaster without a doubt.

02-06-2008, 02:37 PM
This one was even harder. It's a coin toss between ARRC & HTT.

02-06-2008, 07:19 PM
i really like GMR and picked it but there are several other honorable mentions for me. RNRC, Star Tours, Muppets haven't been of TOT can't bring myself to do it (I really don't like freefall rides).

I had to go with Star Tours(SW nut & a member of the 501st legion of Stormtroopers :D) I loved Great movie ride when everything use to work :( (REALLY needs a rehab) and Muppetvision is fun, but needs an update :blush:

ToT! I think it's one of the top themed rides in all of WDW.

kimommy63
02-07-2008, 08:29 AM
You know, I love a lot of these attractions, but for sheer thrills I would have to say Rock N Roller Coaster. It's truly the standout for excitement:cloud9:. Tower is a close second, but my son hates that ride so much I never get to ride it anymore!:(

Mackflava99
02-07-2008, 09:34 AM
This will be a close race- 2 mega rides

TOT is my fav here

DDuck66
02-07-2008, 10:24 AM
I think that you cannot compare rides to shows. As fars as rides go it would be Great Movie Ride followed closely by TOT. If it is shows, it would either be Beauty or Indiana Jones!!!!

02-07-2008, 11:16 AM
Toss up between Rock N Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror. I would have to go with TOT. The drops are never the same and it is a pure adrenaline rush!!:mickey:

R'nR is a blast, my love for Muppets is never ending, but Tower of Terror hands down is the winner here in my opinion. From the moment I walk through the gate past the first bellhop, I really feel like I'm transported back into 20s/30s Hollywood. The music choice is phenomenal (I listen to the full hour + on my iPod all the time), the "grounds" of the outside portion of the queue are great, the theming of the lobby and library is spot on and of course the ride itself is a blast.

I'm going with ToT. It's also my DS 6's favorite ride. But the last time we went he got scared and didn't want to ride it. I had to remind him that he said it was his favorite.

:coaster: Rockin' Roller Coaster!!!!! I think it is one of my favorite rides in all of the world. There is something about Aerosmith blaring in my ears while riding around in the dark, upside down, at a ridiculous speed!!!

I was SO disappointed that it was closed on our last trip!!! :crying:

laughingplace<3
02-09-2008, 03:00 PM
I couldn't even vote in this poll because I can't decide.

I love Rockin Roller Coaster, but I also love Great Movie Ride- it's a classic. My heart also belongs to muppets. ToT scares the pants off me, and when I find the courage to ride it again, then I'd say I love it. It's just so scary. :blush:

Beauty and the Beast Show gets our vote!

I love Muppets 3-D. It just reminds me of being little and sitting in front of the TV watching the Muppet Show. I love RNRC, but Muppets will always be the favorite.

Side note: Drew Carey's Sounds Dangerous - really?

"Gee, I can't wait to go to DHS and see Sounds Dangerous!"

Can you ever imagine saying that??

This is an easy one for me. Tower of Terror is my absolute favorite attraction in WDW.
