How do you rank the 10 boat rides at Disney World and why? Which is the best ride?

 

[LittleMerman]

Pirates for me!

 

[Chef Mickey]

Tiana is by far the worst.

 

[Chi84]

Tiana!

 

[kamluvsdisneyland]

1. Pirates (the long ride & Yo Ho song)
2. Living with the Land (unique & I love seeing how vegetables grow)
3. Small World (the long ride & the costumes)
4. Jungle Cruise (the jokes)
5. Riverboat (great views from the top deck)
6. Kali (great drop, but too wet)
7. Frozen (the drop)
8. Na'vi (uneventful & not memorable)
9. Gran Fiesta (OK ride, but great atmosphere in the Mexico pavilion)
(haven't been on Tiana yet)

All good rides but here's how I would rank them:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean - In a dead heat with the Haunted Mansion for the best dark ride of all time.
2. It's A Small World - Classic.
3. Living with the Land - Bring back Listen to the Land!
4. Tiana - Splash would have ranked higher. Just a lot of missed opportunities.
5. Jungle Cruise - Depends on the skipper.
6. Na'vi River Journey - Avatar really doesn't do anything for me, but I actually really like the atmosphere of this one.
7. Gran Fiesta Tour - Would rank higher as Rio Del Tiempo.
8. Frozen Ever After - I won't argue that Maelstrom (which was a thematic mess) was a better ride, but this one could be so much better.
9. Kali River Rapids - Fun but... also kind of boring?
10. Riverboat - would be better without the canned dialog.

1. Living with the Land (just a relaxing ride. Always my 2nd ride at EPCOT right after Soarin)
2. Pirates (could interchange this with Living with the Land for 1st. I hope they don't do any more changes for the woke crowd).
3. Na'vi (not sure why I like this one but I do)
4. Riverboat (always a must do and now it's going away. Bad decision by Disney)
5. Jungle Cruise (if it wasn't for the bad jokes I would skip this ride and sometimes still do)
6. Kali (like the ride but some days I just don't feel like getting wet)
7. Gran Fiesta (ok ride. We use it as a rest in the best AC building in WDW)
8. Frozen (one and done)
9. Small World (no just no. Rode it 3 times in my life in 1964,1979, 1996. Hope I never have to ride it again but I have a granddaughter coming of age. Maybe then)

10. Tiana by default. Haven't rode it yet.

It's A Small World

 

[Hockey89]

It's a small world could be used against terrorist... They would give up the secrets.... Awful.

POC
Living with the Land
Na'vi
Kali
The rest blah

 

[Two Ears]

Pirates of the carribean is a bad ride At wdw. Way too outdated and not even the hint of a thrill. In paris its a little better but not a ride you should spend anytime waiting for.

frozen ever after, kali rapids and tianas are the best.

all the others are meh.

 

[marni1971]

Wet. Wet wet. Damp. Wet. Wet. Quite wet. Wet. Very wet. Wet.

 

[SplashJacket]

Dang, I never realized how weak the WDWwater rides are.

Splash was really the only exception. One E-ticket water ride and one elite E-ticket.

Haven’t experienced TBA, so TBA whether it’s still the exception

 

[MickeyLuv'r]

1, PotC
2.JC
3. IaSW
4. FEA
5. Tiana - liked it better before redo, partly it ranks this high because the physical part of ride is still in place.
6. Land- was better in the days of live narrators, but still fun.
7. Gran Fiesta - I like this one, I just don't see ranking it higher than 1-6.
8. Na'vi- needed to be a longer ride with more to see.
9. Riverboat- I love hearing and seeing it, but the ride is a bit dull.
10. Kali

The middle rankings are a bit soft. On a different day, I'd probably rank them slightly differently.

Jungle Cruise, Land, iasw weak?

 

[SplashJacket]

Jungle Cruise, Land, iasw weak?

I like Land, but it's not a major attraction by any sense of the imagination.

IASW is weak compared to other iterations.

Same with PotC

 

[Centauri Space Station]

IASW is weak compared to other iterations.

Same with PotC

Land is an E ticket with AA and changing greenhouses. IASW is the only one without disney chars invading it. Jungle is def better than DLs.

 

[donaldtoo]

I chose PotC for sentimental reasons.
Granted, the first time I rode PotC was at Disneyland in the summer of ‘68, when I was almost 6 years old.
And, even though the WDW version is truncated, it’s still more than enjoyable enough…!!!

 

[Walt Disney1955]

Pirates is going to win this poll in a walk. It is my pick too.

May I add that I love just cruising on the transportation boats just for fun at the Boardwalk or Disney Springs.

 

[Mark Dunne]

The boat from TTC to M.K.

 

[Goofyernmost]

I like all of the ones that I have been on. I have never been on River Journey or Tiana's but the videos seem to be fairly good.

As for "wetness", I have never received more that a few drops of water on any of them except Kali River Rapids and that one made up for them because it not only just got me wet it saturated me. I spent the rest of the day drying out and listening to my shoes squash with every step I took. It was fun but quite uncomfortable for hours after. So I liked it, just not its after affect.
