Best ride in all of WDW?

[DisneyAndUniversalFan]

Which E-ticket is the best?

Choose wisely and don't just do recency bias! What ride deserves the title of best WDW ride? What does your ranking, or own top 10 look like?

Yes

Tough question I know!

You are just evil. Anyhoo, I have got to go with a classic. the Haunted Mansion. it is just the perfect ride. music, animatronics, opening sequence. every thing.

Spaceship Earth. Followed by Listen to the Land. Disclaimer: I have not been on Flights of Passage to try it.

Splash Mountain.... too easy. Even though I know I will love Rise of the Resistance once I ride it nothing can compare to a perfect dark ride with ever increasing levels of thrill. It's even magical when Disney switches it to the Haunted Splash Mountain and fills it with terrifying motionless creatures singing happy songs.

Best or favorite? And if best, what parameters do you set for that; technology, theme, immersive-ness?? The wording "best" is way too vague. I think a better discussion can be reached by asking a more specific question.

My favorite ride is Splash Mtn. Lots of personal reasons. but it always makes me happy to be on it. IDK I would call it the "best" ride at WDW though. The best overall experience is ToT, from the queue to the preshow, to the loading, to the thrills and randomness of the drops, absolutely perfect. Have not been on RotR yet, but technology wise, Avatar is pretty darn good, but for a simulator, I prefer Star Tours.

I voted for Rise of the Resistance because of the number of ride systems it employs. I actually do not have just one favorite.
I have a number because different aspects of different rides make them great. Rock n Roll rollercoaster is my favorite roller coaster.
Flight of Passage is amazing, as is Soarin'. All different rides for different reasons.

i haven't had a chance to do RotR yet, and i feel fairly stupid right now...what is american adventure?

 

[Jonathan Dalecki]

Spaceship Earth, then, now, always. Thank you Phoenicians!

Wow that's a toughie!!! Settled on Splash Mountain though. It's just such a classic and puts me in such a good mood. Tower of Terror is a close 2nd.

Best overall ride, in terms of quality

American Adventure is actually an animatronic history lesson. It is not a ride.

I voted for Spaceship Earth, but I could be convinced it's Kiliminjaro Safari. Splash Mountain would probably be third, and then maybe a tie between Flight of Passage and Haunted Mansion for 4th/5th. Tower of Terror/Expedition Everest for 6th/7th.

Never done BTMR, American Adventure, or Rise of the Resistance so can't rank those. Had plans to do BTMR this trip, but riding Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest back to back gave me horrible motion sickness and so I avoided coasters the rest of the visit.

No idea why I've never done American Adventure; I'd probably love it.

It is the center point of the World Showcase in Epcot.
