The last time we were @ the World in April of '08, we attended one of the Pirates and Princesses parties. I lost track of time and the fireworks started going off while I was on Thunder Mountain... That was my single favorite 'ride experience' ever.

We pulled out of the station to the first explosion, and the entire ride was like a commercial. Just a big stupid grin on my face, and the explosions, lights, and colors going off all around me.

PS - Just a great thread... Thanks, I actually loved thinking about this one. It floods you with memories. I couldn't peg down one ride for my third after the two kitty-cornered MK mountains. I think it all depends on the group I'm with at the time. And, this actually makes me start to feel guilty for the times I've complained in these forums, or at least quietly read others complaints. When Disney gets things right, they are just SO right.
