Favorite Disney Park and Attraction

[Jeff O Rocks]

Since it is summer and vacation time...I know everyone has a fave Disney ride...

It is hard to choose just one....so I have to list all of them.. :D

Magic Kingdom - Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Alien Encounter
MGM - Tower of Terror and Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster!! :spin:

[Stormbringer]

Piece of cake...

Magic Kingdom - Space Mountain (My most favorite ride...been on it 75+ times!! :eek: :D), Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Epcot - World Showcase, not counting Downtown Disney, best dining and shopping in WDW, bar none.

Disney/MGM - Aerosmith's Rock and Roller Coaster, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Star Tours, and the Indiana Jones stunt show.

Animal Kingdom - The Asian section and the African safari ride.

Downtown Disney - Disneyquest arcade.

I've always loved the whole atmosphere of Pirates of the Carribean. And call me crazy but honestly, the long, long lines to me is part of the magic of Disney! :crazy: I especially like the dimly lit hallways and such you go through while waiting in line for Pirates of the Carribean. True, many times they are unbelivably long but I think each ride should be experienced at least once with a several hour wait. It just makes the ride that much sweeter when you get there. :D

I went to Disney World 4 years ago and I the last time I had been there before that I was 6 years old. My little kid brain remembered the drop in Pirates of the Carribean as an unbelievably steep and long fall that was incredibly scary.... As the boat approached the drop I begin to get scared but it was perhaps as scary as orange juice this time around to me. It's funny your perspective completely changes. Still, the ride was a lot of fun.

I've only been to Disney Land, myself--and of all the rides there I think I liked Space Mountain and Voyage to Mars (I think that's what it was--this was back in the 70s) the best.

I love Disneyland and in the new California Adventure park, the California Screamin' ride is awesome! It's been on the travel channel, it's the one where the loop goes through Mickey's ears.

I've also always loved Thunder Mountain!

Edited to add: Just a funny note, when my husband & I were waiting to buy our picture from California Screamin', the girl who works there was telling us that she used to work at Space Mountain, and she said if you ever see it with the lights on, you'll never want to go again. She said when they have employee parties they ride it with the lights on and it's so freaky. I guess it's better not to know how close you are to metal bars when you're flying through!

I went on Space Mountain years ago and sat in the first car. There were dim lights on the front bottom bumber area of the car and I could actually see quite a bit of the structure as we rode along...I could see rigging and beams the couple of times I opened my eyes anyway!

I saw Space Mountain at Disneyworld with the lights on.....the ride was shut down for maintenance and we rode through on the Wedway People Mover....it looked like a twisted pile of metal...so I understand her point..it was cool to see it though....but I like it better in the dark.......flying at break-neck speeds.. :D actually I was told by a park employee, that is only goes like 35 mph and Big Thunder Mountain actually is faster...doesn't seem like it though, does it?? :crazy:

I'm a real weanie when it comes to roller coasters (I usually hold my husband's sun glasses and watch with all the other chickens while my he rides!) -- but-- Space Mountain is one of the few I'll actually ride. I think it's because it's in the dark, and I can't see what the structure looks like that makes me braver. I mean, over at Universal Studios, standing in front of The Hulk-- there's just no way I can get on that -- I can see how tall and scary it is, and I get nauseous!!! :crazy:

I love coasters...I will ride anything....but I can tell you, the Hulk is a wild one...it shoots you out and then you kind of lose track of where you are....all the twists and turns.....Aerosmith's Coaster shoots you out and you go from sitting still to 60 mph in like 5 seconds....and in a limo no less... I love it!! :spin:

I just got back from Orlando. I went to Universal, not Disney but there are some new rides at Disney according to the billboards, there is a new coaster at Animal Kingdom and the Tower of Terror has changed.

[puckin_A]

I have not been to DisneyWorld....but grew up pretty close to DisneyLand.
I don't like roller coasters or rides like that because I throw up. I like
Pirates of the Carribean the best. Yes, I am a wimp.

If you like pukey rides, you would love Magic Mountain. (Six Flags)

I meant to add this to my post.

" Attention Thrill-Seekers Worldwide!
SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN...THE XTREME PARK has the largest collection of XTREME roller coasters on the Planet!"

[Jeff O Rocks]

Tower of Terror has changed.

Hope you had a good time!! :spin: What is different about it?? I loved it...hope it is still fun!! :roll:

I rode Space Mountain with the lights turned completely on. It looks quite bizarre. I actually found it VERY dull as I always loved the atmosphere of it being so dark. The whole fun is not knowing what comes next and when the lights are on you know everything therefore there is zero element of surprise. The reason was because there was a problem with the ride as right as you go up the hill at the beginning it broke down. They could not get our handlebars up and we were stuck there for 2 hours. When they got it working they didn't turn off the lights and we rode the entire thing like that. When we got off they gave us 10 passes each (for my brother, father, and me) to skip to the head of the line at any ride. As we were riding it with the lights turned on the people below us who had been standing in line there for 2 hours were actually booing and yelling things at us! I don't know if there were envying us getting to ride it with the lights on or what....it was really strange.

I love every rollercoaster at every park I have been to but after riding the sky coaster (bungee jumping thing) at different parks they just don't have the same appeal.... There's still tons of fun but that thing is really incredible. I've done both the 150 foot and 300 foot ones.

The Hulk is great fun. I especially like how the beginning part is invisible to people just watching the ride. I had no idea what was coming.....

[Jeff O Rocks]

I want to do the Skycoaster thing.....I have never had the nerve but I will one day.....the scariest one of those I have seen is the one in Orlando..it is at Old Town and it is 300 ft. high...when you stand there and look at it, it gives you the creeps at the height and how the people look when they pull them up into the corner.........I would have to ride that with someone else. I would never have the courage to pull the ripcord.. :crazy:

[puckin_A]

funny we were talking about this and I called my son tonight (whom resides
in Calif) and I said, "So, what are you up to today". He said "I am on
my way to Magic Mountain"!! This kid loves those rides. He is not my
son. :)

I saw this on Disney's home page...sounds great...who is ready to go and ride??? :spin:


The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ is Scarier than Ever.

The Tower Of Terror offers the same adrenalin-producing rise up 13 stories of an abandoned hotel elevator shaft and the same thrilling plummet back down. But a new dimension of fright has been added because every time you visit an entirely random experience awaits. The drops are completely random, the ride terrifying. It's never the same fear twice!

Sounds better and like one of the very few moments where something ain't broke but is fixed in a pleasing way...though I won't know for sure until I get back down to WDW in a year or two. ;)

I'm not sure if this counts.....how 'bout Typhoon Lagoon? We went there just after it opened (first and only trip to Disney so far). Although I don't have a favorite, it was a great! Husband's favorite....swimming with the sharks (probably because it was something he could do alone).

Sure it counts Romney!! ;)
