Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout announced for Disney California Adventure

[mickEblu]

Funny, those aren't even close to being my favorite Disney attractions.

It's hard for me to name favorite attractions. Does favorite mean attractions we have the most fun on? The most impressive? For example, I have more fun on California Screamin or TOT than I do on POTC but I obviously find POTC as a bigger achievement and more impressive if you know what I mean.

 

[Pam Hates Penguins]

Mine are:

1. Radiator Springs Racers
2. Pirates
3. California Screamin'
4. Soarin'
5. Space Mountain

The Great Movie Ride and the previously mentioned Universe of Energy use trackless ride systems.

I meant the type of trackless ride system that would move to different rooms such as Mystic Manor depending on the rider.

For me it means most fun + can't be missed. I love Pirates and Mansion, but after doing them over and over at Disney parks around the world since the early 70s I'm suffering from Haunted Mansion and Pirates of The Caribbean fatigue.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

My favorite attractions:

5. Francis' Ladybug Boogie
4. The Go Go Gadget Coaster
3. Redwood Creek Trail
2. Jumpin' Jellyfish
1. Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough (Disability Experience)

Obviously.

 

[SSG]

My favorites are:
Lobster Nachos & Manhattan at the Cove Bar
Hot Pretzel & Tower 10 IPA at the Karl Strauss Beer Truck
Pu Pu Platter & Shrunken Zombie Head at Trader Sam's
Charcuterie & Cheese Board & California Cabernets Wine Flight at Alfresco Tasting Terrace
Mini Wagyu Sliders & Irish Whiskey Sour at Hearthstone Lounge

I may have a problem

You don't love those, you're doing it wrong.

Where's Groot? The adventurer from DCA's Tower ?

Why even talk about the horrifying attraction that will open next year???? WHY?????

I don't know if this is totally accurate with how I feel today, but looks like I made a document a couple years ago on my favourite dark rides worldwide. I just quickly inserted roughly where I'd place a few Shanghai ones. I'm sure I need to go back and fiddle with some of the choices. But yes, MM is wonderful.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean Shanghai
3. JTTCOE
4. Forbidden Journey
5. Splash Mountain (Functional Florida version or Tokyo)

Wow really ? More then POTC at DL or Haunted Mansion

HM is probably my number 2, but I prefer WDW's to DL's but Hatbox makes it closer to a tie than it was before he materialized. Mystic is definitely my favorite attraction worldwide, hands down. It feels classic even though it's new, and the effects are marvelous. It's better than Hunny Hunt at TDL, which is also a great attraction. Mystic feels like a culmination of decades of work, and you can feel the love for the craft when you ride it.

While I respect POTC (and DL's is the best) it's never been my favorite. I enjoy it, but the theme doesn't really appeal to me so it wouldn't rank highly on my list. I can objectively look at it as a towering achievement, but it's just not my fave.

Of course, Mystic dethroned my previous all time favorite attraction, Heimlich's Chew Chew Train.

Great list and I agree with a lot of it, except Sindbad's. It's too low on the list! I freakin' love that ride. The song! I'm singing it now!

You should have seen my jaw hit the floor the one and only time I've been on Heimlich's.

Funny you say that. I was surprised too that I had ranked it so low at the time. It's an old list and I suspect one I produced for Orlando United.

I think I'd bump it up to number 10.

Speaking of Heimlichs Chew Chew Train, where in the world is Endor Sightseer? Probably breaking records in the Haunted Mansion before they go NBC.

One time? You got off easy. Must have ridden it 20 times with our girls when they were younger...around the time it opened. I used to be able to do a pretty spot on Heimlich voice which made my kids want to ride it even more. I think we actually rode it as many as 3 times in one day. Somehow, I'm still alive to talk about it : )

Maybe he's stowing away in the Mansion?

Have you been lucky enough to ride all of those on your list? Surprised that Knott's Calico Mine Ride and Log Ride didn't make the cut. Both would be on my list...though my list would be much shorter as I've not experienced much of what's on your list. Pirates in DL would top mine.

 

[Phroobar]

You are such a troll. Obviously.

He is a likeable troll though.
I thought his top five would be
Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion
Star Tours
