What are the top 5 rides ever built? (non-Disney too)

[xdan0920]

5. El Toro (Great Adventure, NJ)

4. The Simpsons Ride (Universal)

3. Spiderman (Universal)

2. Tower of Terror (DHS)

1. Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom)



I have yet to ride Harry Potter, I have feeling it will bump Spiderman out though.


As for the Simpsons ride. Quite frankly I am just a huge Simpsons fan, so this ride is awesome for me.

El Toro is the best roller coaster I have ever been on, and I have been on quite a few.

Splash and ToT speak for themselves.

I'll add another list to the list.

1) The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (IoA)
2) Splash Mountain (MK)
3) Haunted Mansion (MK)
4) Hollywood Tower of Terror (HS)
5) Kilimanjaro Safari (AK)


Horizons (EPCOT) would probably be high on this list if I could remember the whole thing. I was very young the last time I rode.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (IoA) gets a mention for technical merit and theme, but I find the story is lacking and the actual ride upsets my stomach a bit.

You've read my list! You can't un-read it!

In no particular order, because I have different favorites depending on what mood I'm in:

Horizons (EPCOT Center)
Tower of Terror (DHS)
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (IOA)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (TDS)
Spiderman (IOA)

One day I'll get to Japan. That ride looks awesome!
