Calico River Rapids.
Alas, this is a popular vote contest, and many folks are instructed to vote for the location they work for (in general).

If it weren’t for the fact that I got motion sick about 25 seconds into the attraction, and hence could think of nothing else but getting off as soon as possible, I probably would’ve enjoyed the attraction.
There’s nothing wrong with the placement of controls, Hondo, etc.

Best of Orange County 2019: Best amusement park ride
Once again, Disney takes all top three spots in the best amusement park ride category.www.ocregister.com
Top 3
1. Space Mountain
2. Incredicoaster
3. Soarin' over the World
Gee, what is missing?
In terms of roller coasters, Xcelerator IMO is still the best in Orange County.
How someone could rank Soarin over Racers, Indy, Splash, Mansion, Guardians, LogRide, MineRide and Pirates is mind boggling. Who the hell came up with that list?

GhostRider by far. Still recovering from multiple kidney injuries when I road it last.

Meh, Xcelerator is one of the most overrated rides I've ever been on.
Ghostrider is conceivable. Lots of things at DLR are conceivable, but Incredicoaster and new Soarin as two of the top 3 is incredibly sad.

That’s what the spaceship Earth refurbishment is for.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd actually consider this good news. I've always said that I'd happily pay higher prices if it meant significantly lower crowds when I visited. But, my assumption has been that Disney doesn't really want to offer that trade off, so they'll hold off on significant increases for a year or two while they work on packing the place with warm bodies again.

From the Disney market research part of the conversation:
This. A colleague of mine likes to remind us all that "You count what you care about and you care about what you count." So, yeah, it's great to have research, but if you aren't complete in your research, it isn't worth much in the grand scheme of things.

Don't forget the "oh no... we're THOSE parents" feeling while said kid is throwing the public tantrum. Some of y'all bash the Little Mermaid ride, but that ride was the only thing that got my screaming kid to calm down enough so that we could stop and get some food in her to fix her episode of epic "hangries".
The joys of parenting... hahaha

They're already raising the prices on everything.

They raised prices for food across the resort.
The foods union recently negotiated a substantial raise for all non tipped f&b workers, so I imagine this is a response.

Someone please tell me this is a joke! $14 for a beer? I usually don't pay attention to prices, especially on vacation, but $14 for a beer?!!!! I could get a handcrafted top shelf martini for that price and I wouldn't have to wait 20 minutes for it and sit next to screaming guests through of all it. Who is the customer for this other than "I'll try it once but I'm never paying this much again"?
What?!?
My gosh, they really do have some guts, don't they? I was considering heading to the parks next week to see the Halloween stuff and the latest construction and maybe try and wink my way past the militant hostess at the Cantina to have a drink, but now I am rethinking that.
My bank account is solvent, and I've paid just north of $20 for a finely crafted cocktail in Tokyo or Los Angeles. But $16 for a "Jet Juice" that is just Maker's and some accoutrements, served by a sloppy Disneyland CM transferred from Tomorrowland Terrace who couldn't properly atomize Dolin Blanc if their life depended on it? No way in heck.
But are you headed to Tokyo? Do you take a nip now and then? Do NOT miss a visit to Bar High Five, downstairs in the basement, via a two-person capacity elevator, off a back alley near the Ginza. The absolute best bar I've ever been to! Around 25,000 to 35,000 Yen per cocktail, but honestly the service and style and craftsmanship and intricate quality makes it worth it. http://www.barhighfive.com/
