The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

I’m more concerned with what was wrong with my California Adventure count. Did I miss something on the pier?

So at the pier that would be Zephyr, Jellyfish, Silly Symphony Swings, Emotional Whirlwind, and Jessie’s Carrousel.

I guess I did miscount. It would be 7. Sorry I guess California Adventure wins than.

Opinions will vary but if we just base it off rides that feel/ look like Carnival rides DCA wins easily.

Also while I was researching for this I saw this it sure is interesting to say the least.

Okay Hollywood studios and animal kingdom are tied for last with one each. next Disney Adventure world Hong Kong Disneyland Tokyo Disneyland Disneyland and Disneyland Paris will be tied with 4 when the tangled ride opens in the studio park . then Shanghai Disneyland Disneyland Paris Tokyo DisneySea and Disney California Adventure tie with 5 flat rides. And magic kingdom takes home the gold with a total of 6 flat rides! if I missed anything feel free to let me know but I think this is everything according to your criteria.

Just to point out, Epcot has 0 so is the definitive loser and you could say it is due a flat ride somewhere (maybe a carousel in UK?).
I've also counted Tokyo DisneySea at 7 too: Jumpin' Jellyfish, Blowfish Balloon Race, The Whirlpool, Scuttle's Scooters, Caraval Carousel, Jasmine's Flying Carpets and if we're counting Luigi's then we should count Aquatopia, right?

Right and I didn’t include Epcot at all for that reason.

Actually this for me thinking - does DCA take top prize for most flat rides in a park? Definitely did when Bugs Land was alive.

My personal definition is any ride that doesn't follow a track layout (beyond a simple loop), isn't a simulator, and doesn't have show scenes. So I would include the Fun Wheel to make 8 flats. DCA's peak number would have been 10, if you add the three Bugs Land rides and strike Emotional Whirlwind out.

I see what you re saying but labeling the ginormous Fun Wheel with the swinging gondolas (only two in the world I believe) as a flat ride just doesn’t feel right to me. For Lady Bug Boogie and the Fun Wheel to have the same classification just doesn’t work for me. Lol

Francis Lady Bug Boogie was the first time I ever really felt like I was riding a carnival ride at Disneyland. Tuck n Roll too. The Pier flat rides at least have the vista, kinetic energy and lights to make up for it. Although King Tritons nipple-go-round was also sad.
