Tough one between Tower of Terror and Alien Encounter, but I think AE just tips it. S.I.R. is a masterpiece, and is superbly scripted, and voiced by Tim Curry.

I agree, but for me it has to be ToT. I even quite enjoy queueing for it, the screams really set the mood, but once inside I think it's tremendous.

Only problem with ToT these days is that it is really hard to get a decent CM to do the library scene, or the loading.

ToT relies on a great crew to really deliver the experience. There are a few master bellhops left, but I have seen too many slack CMs on ToT who dont say a word. I even saw one commit the ultimate ToT sin, and skip the preshow video! She just said, do u wanna go straight on the ride? one person said yes, and she just opened the doors and told us to go. Couldnt actually believe it.

As SIR runs the AE preshow, its nice and consistent :)

I think this classic wins for best preshow (Eride or not) would be the Haunted Mansion.

When they have a good cast of CM's working in there I would always try and get them to crack a smile.

".....to find a way out. Well, there's always my way." Screeeeeeeaaaaaaammmmmmmm!!!!!!!

TOT is good but I agree with DisneyFreak - The HM is great for the preshow as long as you get a good CM. That makes or breaks almost any of the pre-shows.

probably Haunted Mansion

RnRc is really cool though, It truly looks like aerosmith is standing right there on the other side of the glass

"WALK THIS WAY"

It was cool one time the kid working the preshow was talking to the guys. he was like:

"Jimmy, can you gimmie a little more bass, yeah thats perfect."

In the middle of the whole thing he was like:

"Steve, you're not just gonna leave us here, are you??"

before we left he was like:

"You wanna see the aerosmith concert?"
"(cheering)"
"It starts in a few minutes, get going!"

it was pretty cool, and funny

You have named all my favorites!

I really like ToT... the "twilight zone...". Enjoy it very much and then going to the basement of the hotel..... love it!

RnRC is good too until u see it too many times like me, and you just wanna go on it and skip Aerosmith!

Haunted Mansion is great too although I almost know it by heart... I guess it relays on the CMs most of the times... we always tried to make them laugh with no luck!

I went to Mickey´s Halloween party in 1999, and there was a CM by the gate of Haunted Mansion when my bf and me entered the queue, and I didn´t notice the guy followed me to under the terrace and put his face next to mine in silence, so when I looked to the side saw him looking at me very serious. Needless to say I screamed the loudest ever and everybody turned to the back of the queue to see this frightened woman shaking and laughing and the CM running away back to the gate! It was so much fun!:)

I agree - the CM's in the Haunted Mansion play their parts soooo well...except one time my father scared one of the CM's in the Haunted Mansion - ironic, isn't it?

"All you bodies please move into the DEAD center of the room...fill in all the DEAD space..."

yeah gotta love Tim Curry, but I just always feel so sad for Skippy. So my vote goes for TOT.

I'm going to have to go with HM. That has been my favorite since I was really little and everytime i go I have to ride it. Even when I worked there I had to ride it at least once a week or I felt like i was missing the whole Disney magic thing.

Tower of Terror for me. Really creates a great atmosphere for the ride to come. Haunted Mansion is pretty close, but it's more of a good chuckle to me insteed of the great storytelling and theming of ToT.

I have always told everybody the best thing about disney is the way they prepare you for a ride. I have always paid attention to the preshows and walk throughs, with that being said, I will list some attractions that i love the preshow to. (please reply, I would love to hear what you think)

Tower of terror is absolutely tremendous, my favorite part being in the hotel lobby, they made that look sooooooo real! Everything about this preshow is great.

In RnRC Aerosmith is great, but the best part is when you go in the alle way, being from Boston I can tell you that it looks exactly like that.

Space mountain is also great because once you are inside that building it puts you in the mood right away. I love watching the TV's because it makes you feel lke you are in the future watching the "Space news"

Pirates of The Carribean is awesome. It has a very goonies feel to it which is great.

I could go On and On about so many other attractions like Big thunder Mountain, test track, alien ancounter, and splash mountain. But my alltime fav. is...................


Star Wars!!! Its so great, with the anomitronics outside and once you go in with C-3P0 and R2D2 working on the ship, its awesome, when i was little they had ewoks stand outside and great people, it was the best experience
