ditto, rides like that are more then rides they are art.

The slow moving ones, especially with animatronics, are what sets WDW apart from Six Flags.

To me, they are the signature rides of Disney.

Anyone with some land and a lot of money can build a roller coaster......(I do it all the time on Roller Coaster Tycoon)

I like the thrill rides. The unique thrill rides, not coaters. I like Test Track and ToT

IMHO, the very best rides combine epic scale, attention to detail, great storytelling and perhaps a few thrills. The ability to pull this off makes for a classic attraction. I'm partial to water-based rides, too, since they add a dynamic element not easily simulated.

Splash Mountain, for example, is a fifteen minute ride. It's also a physically large attraciton, yet has nice attention to detail (think of the dancing water fountains). The storytelling is very good. And the big drop is thrilling. As others have noted before, it's also a great attraction at night.

Big Thunder, Tower of Terror and Pirates (except perhaps the thrill part) all manage to combine each of these things well. I'm not a _huge_ fan of the Haunted Mansion, but I think it's a better attraction overall than Space Mountain. But then again, I'm still bitter that SM got rid of the RYCA-1 scenes at the end of the ride.

Following the same criteria, Epcot is my favorite park. What it lacks in thrills it more than makes up for in positive, can-do optimism. And sushi.

Sincerely,

Len

I love coasters and thrill rides, but my two favs are Pirates and Spaceship Earth. I dont know why other than i find them enjoyable, and it never does to over annalise.
Perhaps its my affinity with the pirates, and there love of a good ginga.:animwink:

I love thrill rides, but you can find those anywhere. Slow moving dark rides are what i think of when i think disney theme parks. It's a shame that 3 of them, Mr. Toad, Horizons and world of motion, are gone, but at least i can enjoy the ones that are left.

I also think Tower of Terror is the greatest attraction ever built.
Although that could change with mission space.

I'm definitely all for the rides that tell a story, but give you excitement. I personally *love* Space Ship Earth. It's like 15 minutes long, it tells a great story, and people are learning! Wow! That is what makes Disney so great.

Even though Disney's slow dark rides set them apart from the rest of the industry, I have to say I love the thrill rides. Excluding Dino Rama which isnt enough Disney or thrill for me.

 

[dreamer]

None of the above.

I vote parade/fireworks.

 

[Kingdom Konsultant]

I like the slow ones.

Pirates
small World
Splash Mountain
Peter Pan

I love most Disney Rides, but the way Disney Themes a Thrill ride (when they do it properly) there is no better ride in the world. Right now, TOT is the best ride ever created including theming, creativity, storyline, and overall experience. Even though TOT makes me ill at times, I still ride it because it is such a great ride. Splash Mountain is right behind it as a great all around attraction. Remember, they do not have to be the biggest, or baddest to be the best. IMHO Rock n Roller Coaster is the best coaster in the world. It is not the fastest, tallest, longest, steepest, or have the most inversions, however, every time I get off it, I am ready to go right back on again. That is a great ride!

I like any ride where I can sit down and relax, and get air-conditioned.:lol:

Spaceship Earth
Pairates OTC
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Tomorrowland Transit Authority
Monorail

...and sometimes, when it's really really HOT and stickey..I even like It's a Small World.

I also like all the 3 D shows...they STILL amaze me.

 

[JLW11Hi]

it is hard to say what makes up my favorite attractions. Basically, its the attention to detail that gets me. Rides like Splash, Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones (at DL). I also like the ones with true meaning, so basically a lot at Epcot, like Spaceship Earth and American Adventure.

I also like the attractions based around my personal intrests. There is a ton at Disney that does this for me (since many of my personal interests involve Disney), like the Animation tour, the Great Movie Ride, and One Man's Dream.

I'm a card-carrying THRILL RIDE SUPER JUNKIE. :lol: :animwink: Having said that, my favorite Disney rides are all the darkrides. I like them all, even IASW. :animwink: Nobody does darkrides better than Disney. My favorite ones are HM and ToT. I miss WOM, Horizons, and Mr. Toad, but I'm looking forward to riding M:S and Winnie the Pooh. Special recognition from me goes to The TTA. I just love it. I don't feel like I'm in MK until I depart Rocket Tower Plaza.
