Expedition Everest just barely ahead of Splash. Both have amazing details and are fun/thrilling attractions. But from the queue to the lift hill everything about Everest is why I love Disney (except for Disco Yeti!!!)
That's the way I feel.
The theming starts from so far back on EE.
From entering Asia, seeing the gibbons, and EE in the background with that insane looking space where the track bridges the gap in the mountain!
I get goosebumps thinking about coming upon that vision with my kids for the first time about 6 seasons ago with the thought passing through my mind - am I brave enough to go on that?!
I had been on bigger and faster rollercoasters before and after EE even the biggest exposed track coaster cannot compete with Everest's theming.

I love Big Thunder Mountain because that's the very first Disney mountain ride I ever went on, so there's the nostalgia thing going on. It's also great fun! Splash is second, followed closely by Space.

Big Thunder Mountain.

It just hits the perfect sweetspot for me as far as roller coasters are concerned. I've always been afraid of more gigantic coasters like The Incredible Hulk, Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, and so on but I've never been that big on smaller kiddy coasters like Barnstormer or Flight of the Hippogriff. For me, Thunder Mountain is neither too intense or too mild, making it in my eyes, the ideal coaster.

Oh, and Expedition Everest is pretty great too, though I wish I could see the Yeti in its former, non-disco state.

For sheer Disney storytelling with a ride, next to ToT, EE has it all from walking up to the ride to the museum type exhibits throughout the queue line. But my vote goes to Space Mountain.

Huh......Moutain? Well, let's just check this out....According to Urban Dictionary a Moutain is...
One who possesses the ability to troll without consideration of anything else but the prank itself. A moutain is always observing people to find leverage to troll. Also a jerk at times. Synonym (Troll)

My advice...you might want to edit your title....


But, a MOUNTAIN On the other hand.....I'd go with Mount Promethius at Disney Sea...Why? Because.....FIRE!!!!

Splash. For the simple fact of the memory of my oldest daughter trying not to get wet. She hates getting wet at amusement parks. Her futile attempt to avoid the trenching did not turn out so well :)

1- EE. I could ride that coaster all day. The music and theming is top notch, the ride system is great, and I LOVE going backwards, and then having some of those drops right after changing directions. Shame about the Yeti, but at least I can remember a brighter time when I thought the Yeti's hand was going to take my head off.

2- Splash. Great theming, totally classic, completely immersive. I also still remember the first time I rode it and was completely terrified that every drop was going to be "the" drop (and all the non-Disney words I muttered).

3- Space. Total nostalgia. Yes, it isn't as great as the one on the west coast, I get it. But gosh darn if I don't love hearing the Star Tunnel theme while walking through the queue, and seeing those flashing blue take off tunnel lights before plunging into the semi-darkness.

4- BTMM. I like it, but it just doesn't hold the same personal significance. Not sure why, but I frequently seem to come off of this one with a headache. Beautiful at night, though. Still themed well and certainly classic.

I love BBTMR but, maybe because I always loved it as a kid but hate getting wet, splash mountain has a big part of my heart.
Also, the allure of space mountain is hard to deny when you see it from afar.
