I got upset the minute I saw the Liberty Belle at 100. I'll do it 1000 times before I'd do Atlantis again. Unless I need to laugh at random Beetle Juice music and awful effects.

Anyway, Manta is near the top of my list despite being mostly bored by unthemed coasters. But, since our tastes seem incredibly different, I'm not sure you'd agree.

Props for undertaking something like this, though.

Also, is that Spaceship Earth before or after the dumbed down dialogue and triangles?

It's both versions... I loved the 2007 version (first time I rode it) but I still love it today. I do miss the old music on the way down and I kind of liked the video game scene, but I do really like the touch screens too they make every ride different and everyone get's a laugh out of them.... I think they could add some stuff to the way down anyhow... but I still just love the whole idea of the ride and the structure of it just amazes me... I just find it so unique and fascinating... (maybe i'm just a nerd)

Nice work. I am an obsessive list maker myself. I always have a hard time figuring out how to rank the firework shows with the other attractions.

Enjoyed the list a lot. I actually liked seeing Dinosaur on top. It probably wouldn't be my number 1, but it would be way up there and it was nice to see it get some love -- it's usually left out of the "favorite attractions" conversations.

And Stitch conspicuously absent -- yeah, must have been an oversight. :lol:

Thanks for the responses... I just really think Dinosaur is really fun and impressive the sounds, sights and the physical thrill. I made this list a like a month ago and I couldn't remember what #1 was because the top like 7 are all really really close for me. I agree Dinosaur is way way way underated. I think it's fantastic... and probably because it's never really focused on it really suprised me the first time I rode it.

What no Stitch's Great Escape... the tallying must be rigged ;)

Also yeah it was kinda difficult incorporating things like shows, spectaculars and exhibits into the mix. I didn't use any parades and I didnt' include wishes because... well I never really focused solely on it enough to give it a valid ranking I know it's weird considering I ranked Illuminations, but Wishes just kind of seems like part of the overall ambiance of the park.

Anyone else care to post a list I would be interesting to read it... Like the poster before said... I have a weird obsession with lists and list making ha ha

Haven't gotten a chance to ride that one yet I made a disclaimer at the end.

Also yeah never did EO... I feel like HISK3d is still going to be there... but I wouldn't be all that suprised if it never returns

Not sure you mean by the locals might think something different unless the top 101 attraction list would go something like.

1. Rip Ride Rockit
2. Test Track
3. Rock N Roller Coaster
4. Space Mountain

LOL

Throw in Splash Mountain in January and/or until the lap restraints are in place, and/or Men in Black every time I get in line to ride it, and I think you have got the top 5! :lol:

Nice list. I have to observe though, not a big Pirates fan huh? You have that at #46 while I would arguably put that #1 for me or extremely close to it. Not bad though, different strokes for different folks right?

I thought Journey to Atlantis was a very good ride at Sea World. Not in the same mold as Splash Mountain but as far as a log ride it might be the next best one I was on (no offense Ripsaw Falls).

E.T. should be high on anyone's list and I see it's nice and comfortable at #20 for you.

Honestly when I was re-reading it I thought I must have been a bit harsh on Pirates... I really love the begining of the the ride "dead men tell no tales" etc.. I could see it as high as like #31... but I'll stand by my original list.


Nice to hear ET get some much needed love... I'm always sad when I hear that people don't like it or find it cheesey... if you like the movie you should love the ride... it's makes me insanely nostolgic and you have no soul if it doesn't make one smile.
