I never said DL’s Mansion was inferior to MK’s Mansion. I said don’t confuse an opinion with a fact, which is what you keep doing.

No it is a solid fact, Disneyland's Original Haunted Mansion is faaar superior to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

Maybe you’re trolling at this point? I don’t know, but just in case, that’s NOT a fact. It’s a solid opinion though.
I’ll leave it at that. Have a good one today.

Off the top of my head, rides in Japan that I would say are better than DL's HM:
Sindbad's Storybook Voyage
Monsters, Inc. Ride and Go Seek
Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
Journey to the Center of the Earth
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Splash Mountain (TDL)
Tower of Terror (DisneySea)
Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull
You could also argue for the following EPCOT Center classics:
Horizons
Journey Into Imagination
World of Motion
Spaceship Earth
Universe of Energy (bigger, longer Dinorama than on the DLRRR)
Listen to the Land (original version. Odd choice maybe, but I could see the argument)
Maybe DLP's original Space Mountain, The Great Movie Ride (when it was new and special), Kilimanjaro Safaris, Phantom Manor, Mystic Manor, Shanghai's Pirates, etc.
As for what's better than pre-2006 Disneyland Pirates? It's a matter of opinion. Something like The American Adventure or Meet the World might leave a bigger impression, despite not being rides. Is what makes something a "complete experience" based on run time? Queue experience? Emotional response? I enjoy some things more than the big E-tickets, myself.
Of course, all thing pale in comparison to the soon to be closed Armageddon show at Disney Studios Paris. Truly in a class of its own.

I would suggest making an appointment with your doctor to get your tastebuds checked.

Ok. Everyone has opinions. Here’s mine. None of the classic Epcot attractions you listed provide (or provided) a “better” or more complete experience than DL’s (or WDW’s) Haunted Mansion. And yes, I rode them all several times. They were all ambitious and wonderful, but they don’t/didn’t connect with guests or tell their tales as memorably as the HMs.Off the top of my head, rides in Japan that I would say are better than DL's HM:

And that’s why HM is famous, loved, celebrated (by nearly all guests, not just hardcore park fans), merchandised, and—by park standards—immortal. And that’s why most of the great old Epcot rides are (sadly) gone.

I disagree but I haven’t been to any of the international parks. I believe I can get a pretty good feel for most attractions between the ride throughs and leveraging my experience. After I visit some more Disney parks I’ll come back and provide a better rebuttal.

I remember watching Pooh's Hunny Hunt on youtube and not expecting much from it. But having gone on it? Wow. It soooo much more fun in person. It really helps that the trackless ride system feels a hell of a lot faster than any tracked dark ride, and I was basically giggling the entire time.

Sindbad is certainly not a superior experience to HM. It's cute, but it's half the rides that PotC and HM are.

I didn't really like it when I watched it on YouTube. Superstar Limo and Rocket Rods, on the other hand.

Rocket Rods was a lot of fun. It wasn't worth waiting more than half an hour for, but it's a shame it didn't get longer to prove itself.

Agreed on Plaza Inn chicken. The flavor of the batter is good but usually the chicken I get there is dry. Idk if it sits out for a while or what. II I like it when they do the chicken and waffles, though.
