That’s why I was saying guest related. Sad, really, that so many guests (not special needs) require special assistance to ride.Slows? Every time I ride it I end up stopped. Please stay in your seats etc. etc. Doesn't have anything to do with broken effects, broken people trying to get on the ride and the ride stops for them to get on.
Splash Mountain all the way. There just simply isn't anything better.
and your judgement is askew.your fanboyism is ludicrous and annoying
Agreed about the 7DMT part.... That's what that ride should have been....Splash is a complete ride. It is a dark ride with thrill elements/thrill ride with dark elements, depending on your perspective (which makes it somewhat unique) - it is long enough and diverse enough. If they would have just used that formula with 7DMT....
I love both attractions. HM has all the intangibles, has the history, the better pre-ride, - but Splash is the better ride.
I’m a Disneyland local, and I’m always surprised how much better the WDW versions of Splash and HM are (especially Splash, but the extra scenes of in HM make a big difference also, IMO). So, we ride these two a lot when we visit WDW.
This is the hardest poll so far. There are both pitch-perfect (as Tom Bricker likes really say) attractions. They’re both 10/10. In terms of how much I enjoy them, it’s a tie.
If I were forced, I’d use the criterion of “impressiveness” to differentiate them (since I find them equally enjoyable), and give HM the edge because of its illusions/effects. You won’t find a better collection of practical effects anywhere - it’s one brilliantly-executed effect after the other - which makes HM something truly unique.
Same length, but the DL version moves about one foot per second faster, giving a shorter ride time.is DL SM shorter? or is WDW's just...better?

To start off the many which is the better quality ride polls, I decided to start with a big one! This is a very tough poll. These polls will be the WDW versions of each ride, since this is the Disney World parks section of the forums. I am doing Disneyland and Universal polls in their resceptive forums.
They both are the two best rides in Magic Kingdom. They both are super iconic and are universally loved by all Disney fans. They both are classics but yet could still be considered fresh and modern. They both have catchy songs, so many animatronics, tons of dark ride scenes, and a great story.
Also, both have movies that are universally disliked. Song of the South was banned in the US for it's racism and Haunted Mansion is met with bad reviews and low percentages by movie critics.
Both are super immersive and have top notch theming, but which ride is the better ride in terms of quality? Becoming the 1,000 happy haunt, or splashing down into the briar patch?

I would definitely vote for The Haunted Mansion. If I can't ride it during my visit, I feel I haven't had the full Disney experience. I am more attached to the Disneyland version because I lived in SoCal for my first 45 years so I have vivid memories of hiding my face in my father's shirt sleeve (yes, people use to dress up to go to DL) to avoid looking at what was hanging above me in the "stretching room'. It's such a great concept to have a beautiful Lousianna mansion that houses 999 ghosts! I do like a couple of elements to the WDW version..the mysterious footsteps on the staircases and the wonderful enhanced queue. However, Disneyland one ups it with it "Nightmare Before Christmas" theming from Sept.-Jan. --Two rides in one!To start off the many which is the better quality ride polls, I decided to start with a big one!

I was in the third or fourth row before and my son and I had poncho's on we were ready. The people in row one asked us to switch so we said sure! They got soaked and we we're dry as a bone!Just ask to sit in the back 2 rows on Splash. I get barely a drizzle in the back unless I get stuck at the waterfall before the paddle wheel boat scene. The front rows can be a different story depending on the weight distribution of the boat.
