For me it has to be the Haunted Mansion! It's my personal favorite Disney ride of all time!!!

My ranking of the three, as they currently exist at WDW:

1. Haunted Mansion
2. Jungle Cruise
3. Pirates

I flip flop between Haunted Mansion and Pirates. But one thing is clear, they are both well ahead of Jungle Cruise as a ride. And this is still factoring in that Jungle Cruise is a fine ride.

Mansion. Less insulting PC alterations to cringe at.

HM ... Cant beat the variety of ghostly scenes and having your personal doom buggy to ride through.
PoTC ... slipped due to the changes, Depp first then the wokeness.
JC ... fun enough but it depends entirely on the skipper you get.

Tie between JC and HM.

And your all-time list, each ride at its peak?

For WDW it's still HM at top, followed by pre-Depp Pirates and Jungle Cruise.

Haunted Mansion

Pirates (original Pirates would be a step higher, but still behind Haunted Mansion)





Jungle Cruise

Definitely Haunted Mansion. That's one of my most favorite rides. Who could not love it? Second place is Pirates and third would be Jungle Cruise. Actually, there would be a lot of others above JC in my opinion. JC is ok, but not high on my list of favorites.

Haunted Mansion is my favorite. Before Jack Sparrow was shoehorned into Pirates, I'd have said it was a tie between them.

Off-topic, but FWIW, it goes the other way out in the wild wild west, where the DL version of Pirates knocks the socks off of the DL Haunted Mansion.

1. Splash Mountain
2. Haunted Mansion
3. Pirates
4. Jungle Cruise

1. Splash Mountain

4. Jungle Cruise

Oh... the invisible choice. I would have rated Splash as #1 also if it had been an option.

Jungle Cruise needs a refurb and I dont think anyone would mind, make it a thrilling AAA ride with serious upgrades. I would say we ride it every 3-4 time we visit if the line is empty.

Putting this here to give greater context to the Florida Pirates (just posted today!)

I voted Haunted Mansion, because I do think it is the better ride. The overall theming and immersive elements, the mix of spooky and funny, just overall makes it a great overall experience.

With that being said, my favorite of the bunch is still Jungle Cruise, because I absolutely love the corny jokes, and pretty much know most of them by heart and still laugh. And I have to say, one of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube is this one with 'Skipper Sheila,' because she is an absolute joy and one of the best Skippers I've gotten to see, either on video or in person:

New Jungle Cruise or Old Jungle Cruise? Pirates before Jack Sparrow or after? Pirates with Red or without? Haunted Mansion during Halloween or any other time of the year?
