Toon Lagoon and I will not be silenced
(unless I don't feel like getting incredibly soaking wet that day because both the Toon water rides get you soaked. So, most days I would say my favorite is probably Lost Continent for the atmosphere or Marvel for the rides)

Toy Story Midway Mania - was all the hype in 2008 when it came to DHS and while it's good, I actually prefer Buzz because it feels more like an attraction with a storyline and sets. TSMM leans more heavily on the game aspect.

Don't kill me, but horizons. It was good, but not the best epcot ride or dark ride. Plus got dated fast and is kinda boring, even for it's purpose.
Now I must run...I can hear the angry mob.

Space Mountain. It's a solid ride, but it frequently gets the longest wait time in the park. I don't think it's worth the waits. It's short and aside from the cool opening entirely in the dark... yes, it's fun that way for the first time around because you don't know what to expect, but after that it gets old. Again it's fine, but I don't think it lives up to the phrase "most popular ride in the park".

The modern version of the Safari ride. It's still really cool, but it lost a lot when the story and light thrill elements were removed. Now it is just animals which I can see multiple other places in the park and at local zoos. Plus, the Wild Africa trek stuff ruins the immersion and makes the whole environment feel less natural further hurting the edge the safari had over just visiting the zoo or animal trails.

The Little Mermaid ride. I've said this a lot, but it's glaringly obvious where during construction they ran out of money.

So, Stitch, Primeval Whirl, and Rivers of Light are all permanently closed.
Stitch definitely isn't surprising. And with the technical issues it has been having, Primeval Whirl isn't really shocking either. It had basically broken down before covid even started.
Rivers of Light I'm surprised they didn't keep for a bit. It's so unpopular and so few people care for it they could have easily had it socially distanced! It's used to running at 25-50 percent occupancy lol

Stitch and primeval I am happy about, but rivers of light is a bit of a bummer. I thought there was some potential in the idea. Maybe a "world of color" type show would do better?
EDIT: Also part of me wonders if primeval is a sign of removal of goofys sky school. I know it's a weird first thought to have and not dinoland renovations/rethemes, but dang it part of me thinks its possible that paradise park might go "bye bye" some day.

What are the best and worst parks in the world?
and why are they DisneySea and Walt Disney Studios Paris

Part of the likely reason for Primeval Whirl’s closure is the coaster manufacturer went bankrupt a few years ago so getting replacement parts for maintenance and everything would be a pain.
Goofy’s Sky School is a different manufacturer that still exists so in the sense of maintenance, it won’t run into the same issues.

Just talking about parks I've been to or know a ton about, Animal Kingdom is probably the best (even if I still enjoy Epcot more).
Era 1 California Adventure is probably the worst (working on something about that actually)

Epcot is my favorite
Pre-Everest Animal Kingdom was probably my least favorite
