Big Thunder is a super fun ride, but you must be in that last cart for a real thrill. We request it each ride, and enjoy it always. We ride it over and over again, especially at night when the ride takes on a new form. You get some really good whiplash back there!
Splash and Space are fun and I love them both. I jsut prefer Big Thunder over the two. It was also my first "rollercoaster" and the negative effect it originally had on me had us riding small world for seven consecutive spins before I rode Big Thunder again.

Absolutely Splash mountain!! The detail and themeing are great, the ride is long and relaxing, the music is wonderful, and there's still a fun thrill at the end! Who DOESN'T love Splash Mountain?! I know, I know, someone here doesn't... alright.
Anyway, first-time visitors always rave about how amazing Space Mountain is, but I was never impressed by it, even on my first ride when I was eight! Anyone who is "fooled" and thinks it's fast must have "checked their brain at the gate," as the saying goes. Arrow Dynamics was the designer... that's why it's so bumpy. Most of the really, really rough looping coasters were designed by Arrow too... they just don't age well. It's still fun enough for me to always ride once in a WDW visit, but enough is enough. It's like David Blaine- once is enough.
Seriously, does anyone here really, really love Space Mountain?

I hate space mountain. It jerks you around and it kills my neck. Bleck. I rode it for the first time back in 2000. Last year I thought, well, I'll try it again. Double bleck. I know it's "classic" and all but....ouch.
Splash mountain I've never ridden and won't for two reasons. 1) I despise drops. The feeling of your stomach going up into your throat is horrible and I won't do anything that gives you that and 2) I don't want to get wet and be soggy walking around the park. So uncomfortable.
So....yeah. I know. It's appalling. But true darnit.

I'd say Splash Mountain, overall, the theming is much better than Space and Big Thunder. As far as thrills go, I'd say Space Mountain, though.

Space - most "fun," thrilling, and nostalgic
Big Thunder - an overall classic, with attention to detail. . .
But. . .
Splash Mountain - the best combination of so many aspects of showmanship!

I am terrified of heights yet Splash does not make me scared. You are close to the ground the whole time, not like a big rollercoaster where there is air all below you. If you can get yourself to do it once, you will love it. If not at least you will know.MissM said:I hate space mountain. It jerks you around and it kills my neck. Bleck.

MissM - I think you'll instantly fall in love with Splash Mountain (based on your other types of WDW favorites). . . seriously consider if you can face your fears (and bring a pancho)!

I would have to say splash is the best of the three then comes space then thunder Mt. Splash is the best cuz its all ages and it is with brer rabbit. space is 2nd cuz its a cool ride but its not the same as it was over the past years. its not as dark in the ride and it doesnt seem the same and thunder Mt is last cuz i like it i will always ride it i prefer to rid ethe other two if i had. :wave:

You actually don't get that wet on Splash Mountain.. usually.. it is just a little splash on one side of your body. (the side that is closest to the water)

Come one MissM!!! You're really missing out a a great experiance. Splash Mountain is my favorite ride at WDW, just because of the themeing, music, amd overall happy mood. I promise you won't regret it if you try it. (sounds like I'm trying to sell you drugs... but it IS addictive) Plus, you barely get wet! Have fun! :wave:

Sorry guys, I know it looks cool and seems wussy for everyone else but I simply don't ride rollercoasters and I don't ride things that fall (which mean yes, I don't ride ToT nor Rockin' Rollercoaster either *shudders*). I've tried different flume type rides (like the Tidelwave and the Log Flume at Busch Gardens) and they both scared the crap out of me. Six year olds ride them and love them and I ride them and cry. So ya know, you just have to know your limits sometimes. *chuckles*
It's why I love Big Thunder so much. It's a "thrill" ride (albiet a tame one) that I actually ride and like. Speed I don't mind. Lateral forces (push you straight back) I don't mind. Falls though I simply can't do. It's not fun for me at all.
(I'd love to see the theming of the ride which stinks though but *shrugs* what can you do.)
