What would you say are definitively the top 10 rides in Florida? As of right now, the best rides/attractions. I know everything is subjective and opinionated but certain rides are clearly better than another one, let's be fair here. Rank what you think is, and description for each ride. talk about it's impressiveness, thrill, theming, detail, why it's incredible. This shouldn't be a personal favorite list so even if you enjoy rides like Race Through New York, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, Storm Force Acceleration, Alien Swirling Saucers, Na'vi River Journey, Fast and Furious: Supercharged (although how would anyway enjoy that ride?).
This also is before future incredible rides: Jurassic World VelociCoaster, TRON Lightcycle Run, Iron Gwazi, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Ice Breaker, etc. As all of these rides will surely be up there with the very best, we can update our lists when they open and see where they rank. Comment what you think is, with description on each.

I think the list goes something like:

1. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studios)
2. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure (Islands of Adventure)
3. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (Islands of Adventure)
4. Haunted Mansion (Magic Kingdom)
5. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (Islands of Adventure)
6. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Hollywood Studios)
7. Revenge of the Mummy (Universal Studios Florida)
8. Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom)
9. Mako (SeaWorld Orlando)
10. Kumba (Busch Gardens Tampa)

11. Flight of Passage (Animal Kingdom)
12. SheiKra (Busch Gardens Tampa)
13. Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom)
13. Montu (SeaWorld Orlando)
14. The Incredible Hulk Coaster (Islands of Adventure)
15. Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts (Universal Studios Florida)
16. Cheetah Hunt (Busch Gardens Tampa)
17. Kilimanjaro Safaris (Animal Kingdom)
18. Manta (SeaWorld Orlando)
19. Popeye and Bluto's Blige-Rat Barges (Islands of Adventure)
20. The American Adventure (Epcot)
21. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway (Hollywood Studios)​

Yes
It's been so long since I've been on some of these rides (and I still have never been to SWO) so I just wanted to say that Kumba and Montu are the two best coasters in the state (at least until Gwazi finally opens)

We actually have the same favorites with a few changes in ranking but overall the same. Oh and Star Flyer in ICON Park is included in my list since it's Florida. If you want a ride to scare the ___ out of you and adrenaline pumping you should try it out.

Screw your rules. Mine is personal preference and complete bias.

1). PeopleMover
2). Spider-Man
3). Splash Mountain
4). ET Adventure
5). Poseidon’s Fury
6). Spaceship Earth
7). Dinosaur
8). Men in Black
9). Living with the Land
10). PeopleMover again because it’s THAT GOOD

If you love People Mover that much, were you on the reopening day together with every vlogger in existence? Did you actually appear on their vlogs?

I'm not going to make a huge list (and I'd only be listing rides from WDW and Universal), but I can say that Spaceship Earth and Jurassic Park River Adventure (which I think is the best ride at Universal) would both be on my list over some of the ones you have, and Kiliminjaro Safaris would also rank much higher -- but as I've said here before, it's so different from every other attraction that it's not really fair to either it or other attractions to compare them.

Maybe an older generation fan or you're on the older side in terms of age. Fans today will go on lengths just to be the first on everything and have the FOMO syndrome (Fear of Missing Out).

Oh you’re being serious.

No, I’m a 22 year old fresh out of college working a full time job with my family’s touring theatre company. Not a very flexible life/budget. If you wanna give me $6,000 for a disney vacation which probably isn’t a lot to many people I’d appreciate it cuz it is for me! :)
