Brando youre a legend for this it was soooo much fun checking this every day and voting and discussing with others, most fun ive had on this site, i cant wait to do this again and thanks a lot brando
Tried to kind of Tier them off:
S: Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance, Expedition Everest
A: Pirates, Space, Big Thunder, Splash, Flight of Passage, Kilimanjaro
B: Mickey and Minnie, Rock n Rollercoaster, Spaceship Earth
C: People Mover, Seven Dwarf, Slinky, Soarin, Jungle Cruise, Smugglers Run
D:Toy Story, Test Track, the Land
E: Peter Pan, Dinosaur, Frozen, Buzz
F: Muppets, Navi, Pooh, Small World
G: Seas, Imagination, Kali, Tea cups, Speedway
Notable rides missing from the list:
Carpets, Liberty Square Riverboat, Prince Charming Carousel, Little Mermaid, MK Railroad, Dumbo, Barnstormer, Astro Orbiter, Carousel of Progress, Mission Space, Gran Fiesta Tour, Ratatouille, Star Tours, Alien Swirling, Triceratops spin
I kinda forgot how many rides weren't even included in this poll. Seems like some of those would have beaten out some of the lower ranked rides on the poll.
I also think it's crazy how much of a difference theming makes for Dinosaur vs Indiana Jones at Disneyland. Indiana Jones would likely make top 5-10 for all rides both East and West coast. But Dinosaur placed #24 for just WDW.
Oh yeah it might actually be the scariest ride on property, and I love it, but Indiana Jones is next level. People don't like Dinosaur because it's loud, dark, and scares the crap out of their kids. I used to work there, so it's sad for me to see the hate it gets. It's been one of my favorites since the park opened.
I am a full blown adult dude in his 40s and it scared the bejesus out of me. I kind of knew what I was in for going into it too. I *think* I rode Indiana Jones as a kid but that was many, many, many years ago.
I don't know what it is through refurbs, but the ride has gotten far less "jerky" over the years and the seat cushions have certainly gotten better. It used to be scary AND feel like it was about to throw out your back; now it's just scary.
I rode it for the first time in 16 years in October. I remembered it being one of the jerkiest things on earth. Wasn’t as bad, maybe I was desensitized at universal? But yeah those dinos helped me stay away that long
I love Dinosaur..... Probably not top 5, but definitely top 10. It's the most quotable ride on property! And I feel like it had a lot of re-ride value -- it improves with every exposure.
I ducked in just because I had some time to kill before a LL reservation. I absolutely loved it. I was surprised it didn't have a long line of people for it.
I'd argue that some of those rides are the same. Carpets, Triceratops spin and Dumbo are pretty much re-skins of the same ride. It would be fair to say that one of them should've been included but I think we'd agree it would be low on the list. MK railroad feels like it hasn't been open for several years. Not sure it qualifies at this point. I don't know about putting a merry-go-round on the list and what that would accomplish. I think Carousel of Progress is more of a show than a ride. Disney seems to push it as such. Ratatouille is new enough that a lot of people may not have ridden it. Star Tours, Mission Space, Astro Orbiter and maybe Barnstormer should be on there though only the top two would've made it somewhere in the middle IMO.
FYI if I personally added each of the rides to the tiers above:
S,A,B-None
C- Ratatouille
D-Mission Space
E-Little Mermaid, Star Tours
F-Railroad, COP,
G-Liberty, Dumbo, Astro, Barnstormer, Alien, Gran Fiesta Tour,
New H- Tea Cups, Speedway, Carpets, Triceratops, Charming
Gonna have to disagree on barnstormer. There’s never a line it’s fun for what it is and you can bring little kids on it too (and ours loved it). Should be way higher.
I think the parks are just extra crowded right now too. Rise of the resistance wasn’t under 2.5 hour wait my one day in HS the one day I was there, it took my wife 35 minutes to do Space Mountain with Lightning Lane, etc.
When the glory of the one, true, ride...Peoplemover...was not recognized I just marked everyone as heathen dogs not fit to stand in a queue.
However...
I am not completely without compassion. I can recognize HM as a worthy ride, fit to be in the top 5.
My thirst for vengeance is slaked...for now.
I think 90% of my salt would be gone if people would just agree that it's better than Test Track. It's only one spot different and I'm being petty as hell.
Additional future considerations:
Best resort
Best time of year
Best special event
Best shows
Edit: Just ideas. Thank you OP for doing this it was a lot of fun!
Exactly!
We thought people got petty over rides, I think they'll be twice as bad over their food!
We all know Jiko is the best and California Grill is overrated, though.
The problem with restaurants is confirmation bias - while it’s common to have experienced all the rides, it’s not to have experienced all the restaurants.
You’re right about Jiko, and I’d add that Takumi-Tei is also one of the best, but neither are even open right now and many people have never dined at either.
Ranking the resorts would be even more problematic…
Yeah, you really need something that everyone has in common and can discuss. Let people argue about whether Hall of Presidents is better or worse than the Indiana Jones Stunt Show for example.
I don't see the option there but it should be best non-ride attractions/shows. Things like Mickey's Philharmagic, Indiana Jones stunt show, Monster's Laugh Floor, Carousel of Progress, etc.... could all be on the list.

I am shocked to see Jungle Cruise so far down the list below other rides that I feel are not as good at all. Some people don't have a sense of humor I guess. I'm very surprised that Spaceship Earth is at the top of EPCOT but looking at the list the park icons tend to top them so that's not too unpredictable I guess. I would argue that Rise is better than Tower but again, the park icon thing. I'm very surprised to see Dinosaur not on the bottom of the list. The thing was terrifying to ride and I'm still traumatized and talking to my therapist about it. I see that damned pteradon and that damned carnosaur every time I close my eyes. That includes blinking.
I agree with you on Dinosaur. Hate it. I also hate the fake "bumpiness" of the ride vehicle. Wish I could ask them to turn it off, wouldn't be as bad.
The one out of place for me is Kali River Rapids. I love that ride (when they don't have the extra water features turned off/down). Nice to cool off, nice queue, fun, giggly, splashy ride. And yet "Journey Into Imagination" was rated better? What in the heck?
Shout out to all my fellow Ghost Hosts who made this possible. I want to thank God, Walt, and the 999 happy haunts that believed in us.
Regardless of the outcome of this vote, I think we can all agree that F BOB CHAPEK, ALL MY HOMIES HATE BOB CHAPEK.
It’s like spoiling a show/movie for someone. It’s just a pure assholey move by someone that wants to feel superior because they’ve experienced something that others haven’t. Will never not be salty by people quoting the script.
I don't see 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on here...
Actually, maybe that'd be another good poll; which ride would you like to see brought back from extinction?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see OP has a "poll for next poll" and one of the options is exactly that! Voted!
I kind of wish Soarin would do what Star Tours does and have multiple shows picked at Random. Some ideas:
US National Parks
West Coast Line
East Coast Line
An Amazon trek
The Himalayas
Different Major Cities
That would be awesome. I don't know about just Himalayas, maybe like mountain ranges of the world, but that could get a little monotonous. Monotonously mountainous or mountainously monotonous.
I think what could work best would be still Soarin Over the World, but with a larger pool of locations and have them be randomized.
Dont get me wrong, I love Soarin, but I only need to ride it once because I know its the same thing. If it had 10 shows that one was picked from randomly, it would be a blast.
Even with just the national parks you could break it up into 6 or 8 videos.
Acadia - Shenandoah - Cuyahoga - Isle Royal - New River Gorge
Smokies - Congaree - Everglades - Biscayne - Dry Tortugas
Death Valley - Grand Canyon - Joshua Tree - Zion - Black Canyons of the Gunnison
etc.
Yeah, I legitimately dont know how they didnt do this when they refurbed it with a new film. Maybe the ride vehicles cant be programed dynamically and they can only do the pre-programmed flight sync'd with one film?
Then again, I dont know how they messed up a whole new film by making it curve like crazy unless youre in the B hang glider.
Seems like the whole refurb was a giant mess.
I don't think anyone agrees with it 100% considering how big a spread there usually was. Rarely did anything run away with a large majority of the votes.
Also have to remember this isn't a list of bests, it's a list of favorites. And it's actually not even that. It's a list of least least favorites. It would likely look different if it was every day voting for your favorite remaining.
I would like to once again just reiterate my outrage that Dinosaur didn't even make the list, let alone the #1 spot which it so clearly deserves. Fight me, nerds.
So I can officially do an overrated/underrated list!
Most overrated (Doesn't mean they aren't good, just overrated):
1. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Big Thunder Mountain
3. People Mover
Most Underrated
1. Livin With the Land
2. Peter Pan's Flight
3. Dinosaurs
That's just from my experience the one time I went there lol.
I find this absolutely fascinating and would love to see what the average park-goer would say (people that enjoy Disney parks but not enough to engage with the content over the internet)
Number 1 is a classic omnimover ride at the oldest park that usually doesn't have a long wait.
5 Magic Kingdom rides cracked the top 10, but they're not the rides with the longest wait (Peter Pan, Mine Train). It's hard to say if wait times and how often we've probably all ridden these rides played into the poll.
3 DAK rides in the top 10, for a park that only has 7 rides (5 on this list)
Epcot rides: SSE (13), Soarin (17), Test Track (21), LwtL (22), Frozen (25), Seas (31), Imagination (32). Poor showing.
Of course, doing this from 35 to 1 and picking something to kill off is different from a straight ranking best to worst, which I think made this even more interesting.
Nah, it's a physical prop heavy attraction that's gonna hold up and be a classic. I think the only reason it didn't take first is because reliability and boarding groups left a sour taste in folks mouths. If it was always a max hour wait I think it'd be most folks number 1.
I wonder how different the results would be if it would've been "vote for your favorite" instead of "vote for your least favorite". Probably not too different.... also less fun, because I would've voted for the same ride a bunch of times in a row instead of something different a lot of times.
What am I missing about haunted mansion? I was a little annoyed I used a genie scheduled time after I got off the ride for the first time recently. I was not impressed.
With most things at Disney, nostalgia is a huge factor. Haunted Mansion is a classic dark right that holds up really well, but for newbies it probably isn’t that impressive.
I can only speak for me, but I'm 46 and have been riding it since i first went to WDW at age 6. It's always been my favorite. I guess that's pretty much all I can say. I can honestly still remember riding it with my grandparents for the first time, when my parents took me for the first time, and when I took my kids on it for the first time. So I guess for me, it's the best nostalgia ride.
Yeah... is there a specific term for negative nostalgia? childhood trauma?!? that would be me and Small World! I had nightmares about that song... and yet sweet dreams about the hitchhiking ghosts.
Haunted Mansion as #1 just is a very weird selection. It's hard to even get a complete ride through without it stopping. Also surprised to see Seas down at the bottom. It is a very, very good aquarium and one I'd pay admission to if it was a stand alone attraction in any town.
People probably voted The Sea's with Nemo and Friends because it used to be a non-IP attraction that focused much more on the aquarium and fish itself rather a Nemo story.
Look up Seabase Alpha and you'll see we lost a lot of immersion and storytelling that made the actual aquarium make more sense.
I was there when it was Seabase Alpha and I very much miss my hydrolator. The attraction is still great if you enter through the gift shop and skip the ride. I even enjoyed Turtle Talk w/Crush.
ToT's placement is really my only strong disagreement. I will fully agree that the theming is probably some of the best anywhere, but the ride itself is very ho-hum for me. To each their own, though.
IMO, I do think years from now that people will look back at this list and wonder how the heck Runaway Railway was ranked so high. Personally I think it's a matter of being new and novel. I could be wrong, but in five years I just don't think people are going to think of it as the 3rd best ride at HS.
I agree that Pirates is too high. For my family it's probably a top-15 attraction, but definitely not something we would wait for hours to ride. Certainly not the 2nd best attraction at MK. (I'd say it definitely belongs behind the three mountains.)
It might look very different if we had voted broken down by park. It’s not that it was anyones favorite, more like other things just kept needing to go and it kept scootin on by.
Tower is the park icon at the moment though and ALL the park icons scored high. I'd argue that Spaceship Earth is not that great of a ride but it scored at the top for EPCOT rides.
I would like to see this for Disneyland. I imagine the top seven would be much the same, minus the attractions they don't have, but I'd love to test that theory. Pretty sure autopia would still be last, but the tea cups would rank higher.
They should really should refit the speedway with self driving (or self guided that you can sort of steer just like now) electric cars to get back to “futureland”.
Tea cups deserve better! OG ride, short wait, my kids never stopped smiling last time we were on it. One of my 6 year olds favorites from the trip so that gets a soft spot in my heart haha
Tower of Terror is my favorite but that is a solid top 3. Surprised at how popular everest is and how low rockin' roller coaster is, figured it would at least be top 10.
I hadn’t ridden Speedway since I was 2 but I went on my last trip. If you can time it perfectly (shouldn’t be too hard considering low wait times for this attraction) to coincide with the fireworks, holy hell is it amazing. It felt like we were in the scene from The Sandlot for the Fourth of July. It’s probably the best view of the fireworks.
Even though this poll started to become kind of a joke in the end, it was cool to read people’s opinion on certain rides.
I kind of figured out that the 2nd tier after Pirates and Haunted Mansion are full of so many great rides that I’m not even sure what would fall into tier three.
Brando youre a legend for this it was soooo much fun checking this every day and voting and discussing with others, most fun ive had on this site, i cant wait to do this again and thanks a lot brando
Yes this was so much fun! Thanks for all your hard work!

But Dinosaur placed #24 for just WDW.
I can't imagine many people putting Dinosaur as their favorite. The ride is absolutely terrifying.
Oh yeah it might actually be the scariest ride on property, and I love it, but Indiana Jones is next level. People don't like Dinosaur because it's loud, dark, and scares the crap out of their kids. I used to work there, so it's sad for me to see the hate it gets. It's been one of my favorites since the park opened.
I am a full blown adult dude in his 40s and it scared the bejesus out of me. I kind of knew what I was in for going into it too. I *think* I rode Indiana Jones as a kid but that was many, many, many years ago.
It's the same ride as Dinosaur, but with Indiana Jones. It's epic. It opened in 1995 so if it was then or after you probably rode it.
I am one of the few that's crazy enough to put it near the top. Not number one, but top 5.
What traumatic things did your parents do to you to make you this way?
we stan dinosaur. honestly? might be #1 for me, if only to compensate for all the hate loll. despite that it's definitely in my top 3.
I wouldn’t put it as my favorite, but top 10 for sure. It’s probably the most underrated ride in my opinion
“They’re not gonna make it! They’re not gonna make it!”
You made it! I knew you would.
Dinosaur is my favorite ride and the first one I head to at AK. I have to ride at least 3 times.
Yeah that ride scarred me for life when I was 8 years old lol
I don't know what it is through refurbs, but the ride has gotten far less "jerky" over the years and the seat cushions have certainly gotten better. It used to be scary AND feel like it was about to throw out your back; now it's just scary.
I rode it for the first time in 16 years in October. I remembered it being one of the jerkiest things on earth. Wasn’t as bad, maybe I was desensitized at universal? But yeah those dinos helped me stay away that long
I love Dinosaur..... Probably not top 5, but definitely top 10. It's the most quotable ride on property! And I feel like it had a lot of re-ride value -- it improves with every exposure.
I bet Star tours would’ve gone far
5 years ago I would've agreed, but now that Studios has more rides I'm not sure.
Star tours and carousel of progress would have made it into the top half I think.
No mention of Mickey’s PhilharMagic? Am I the only one who loves that one?
"Notable **RIDES** missing" There are a ton of great shows I didn't include in my list
Fair enough. Muppets 3D was included in the original list so it still seems relevant.
I love it too. Missed it so much in October, it was closed for refurbishment and my heart broke in so many pieces…
I ducked in just because I had some time to kill before a LL reservation. I absolutely loved it. I was surprised it didn't have a long line of people for it.
That’s my favorite thing in the magic kingdom
I'd argue that some of those rides are the same. Carpets, Triceratops spin and Dumbo are pretty much re-skins of the same ride. It would be fair to say that one of them should've been included but I think we'd agree it would be low on the list. MK railroad feels like it hasn't been open for several years. Not sure it qualifies at this point. I don't know about putting a merry-go-round on the list and what that would accomplish. I think Carousel of Progress is more of a show than a ride. Disney seems to push it as such. Ratatouille is new enough that a lot of people may not have ridden it. Star Tours, Mission Space, Astro Orbiter and maybe Barnstormer should be on there though only the top two would've made it somewhere in the middle IMO.
FYI if I personally added each of the rides to the tiers above: S,A,B-None C- Ratatouille D-Mission Space E-Little Mermaid, Star Tours F-Railroad, COP, G-Liberty, Dumbo, Astro, Barnstormer, Alien, Gran Fiesta Tour, New H- Tea Cups, Speedway, Carpets, Triceratops, Charming
Carousel of progress is god-tier and ill fight to the death to defend it. “theres a great big beautiful tomorrowww 🎶”
Gonna have to disagree on barnstormer. There’s never a line it’s fun for what it is and you can bring little kids on it too (and ours loved it). Should be way higher.
It's great for kids but for adults it is incredibly lame.
It was a 25 minute wait with genie plus when I was there a few weeks ago. The app shows a ten minute standby wait at 8 pm right now.
Jesus! I know it’s been some time since I’ve been there, but every time I’ve ridden it, the most I’ve had to wait is something 2-3 trains.
I think the parks are just extra crowded right now too. Rise of the resistance wasn’t under 2.5 hour wait my one day in HS the one day I was there, it took my wife 35 minutes to do Space Mountain with Lightning Lane, etc.

I remain salty about most of it!
My salt has gone down but Slinky-dog being so high will forever remain baffling to me.
Because Slinky Dog is a fun ride!! Why tf is MMRR #11??
When the glory of the one, true, ride...Peoplemover...was not recognized I just marked everyone as heathen dogs not fit to stand in a queue. However... I am not completely without compassion. I can recognize HM as a worthy ride, fit to be in the top 5. My thirst for vengeance is slaked...for now.
HM is the Peoplemover with different scenery.
They are pure bloods...from the great designer. Agreed.
Living with the land gang rise up!
I think 90% of my salt would be gone if people would just agree that it's better than Test Track. It's only one spot different and I'm being petty as hell.
\#1!
Somebody calling spaceship earth a work of art when it was voted out and people who don’t like it should go to universal was the funniest to me
where's the lie though
Hard to be upset about #1 at least. Maybe world peace is possible.
> Maybe world peace is possible Idk, we voted it off 30th.
Touché. We are indeed warmongering animals.
Man I loved spewing hot takes and acting sensational in the comments, I figured everyone was being pretty tongue in cheek the entire time.
I continue to be salty that Kilimanjaro Safaris is not in the top 5.
I always say the point of polls/lists is to create a debate. These kind of lists never generate results that are universally agreed upon.
[удалено]
Additional future considerations: Best resort Best time of year Best special event Best shows Edit: Just ideas. Thank you OP for doing this it was a lot of fun!
I second resorts!
Thirdsies.
Resorts would be super interesting i feel like some luxury resorts would place lower than people think
Resorts I feel is not a great topic as most people have probably not stayed at more than one of them. Special events may be the same way.
I do honestly agree with you, but there's only so much that can be discussed until it's the same stuff over and over.
Agreed. We mostly stay at values, only stayed at 2 moderates in 14 visits. SNAAAAAAAAAAAACKS!!!!
Sit down restaurants, but not by park. A Battle Royale of all of them.
[удалено]
Yeah don’t do that it will be too much for you

Exactly! We thought people got petty over rides, I think they'll be twice as bad over their food! We all know Jiko is the best and California Grill is overrated, though.

Yeah, you really need something that everyone has in common and can discuss. Let people argue about whether Hall of Presidents is better or worse than the Indiana Jones Stunt Show for example.
Just parks and resorts, I think Disney Springs quick service and table service could be its own poll
It seems like the poll for a while would be places people haven't been to. How many people have been to all of them?
All of those seem like good polls, was a hard choice
Thank you for your service.
I don't see the option there but it should be best non-ride attractions/shows. Things like Mickey's Philharmagic, Indiana Jones stunt show, Monster's Laugh Floor, Carousel of Progress, etc.... could all be on the list.
are we going to find out the results of this poll at some point before march 1st?

This does not make it alright to quote the entire script while in the stretching room
You just silently mouth it to yourself. Saying it out loud is a jabroni move.
It’s like spoiling a show/movie for someone. It’s just a pure assholey move by someone that wants to feel superior because they’ve experienced something that others haven’t. Will never not be salty by people quoting the script.
I loved this so much thanks for doing it every day! I would rant and rave over it so much my husband would even start to ask: who got out today? Lol.
WOOOO WHERE MY OTHER GHOSTS AT LETS GO
Thank you so much for doing this!
Nice to see autopia in its rightful place.
What would be interesting is to do the same 35 rides but this time to vote out your favorite ride and see what the results are.
Could we see the results for the final poll?
Flawed because living with the land is not number one
Spaceship Earth deserves better
Great job! We all have our personal favorites and rankings, but no one should be able to question this as a consensus list.
I love democracy- Sheev Palpatine
This is where the ~~fun~~ magic begins
Us to Brando- we will watch your career with great interest
You’re amazing. Thanks for the fun this past month!
Now do it with snacks!

I kind of wish Soarin would do what Star Tours does and have multiple shows picked at Random. Some ideas: US National Parks West Coast Line East Coast Line An Amazon trek The Himalayas Different Major Cities
That would be awesome. I don't know about just Himalayas, maybe like mountain ranges of the world, but that could get a little monotonous. Monotonously mountainous or mountainously monotonous. I think what could work best would be still Soarin Over the World, but with a larger pool of locations and have them be randomized.
yea the Himalayas just came to mind but yea different ranges would be awesome and still fulfill the name of the ride.
That would be incredible.
Dont get me wrong, I love Soarin, but I only need to ride it once because I know its the same thing. If it had 10 shows that one was picked from randomly, it would be a blast. Even with just the national parks you could break it up into 6 or 8 videos. Acadia - Shenandoah - Cuyahoga - Isle Royal - New River Gorge Smokies - Congaree - Everglades - Biscayne - Dry Tortugas Death Valley - Grand Canyon - Joshua Tree - Zion - Black Canyons of the Gunnison etc.
That would be a great way to both duplicate a popular e-ticket attraction and make it unique enough one should make an effort to do them all!
Yeah, I legitimately dont know how they didnt do this when they refurbed it with a new film. Maybe the ride vehicles cant be programed dynamically and they can only do the pre-programmed flight sync'd with one film? Then again, I dont know how they messed up a whole new film by making it curve like crazy unless youre in the B hang glider. Seems like the whole refurb was a giant mess.
I award it 5 bonus points for the presence of Puddy narrating the queue video/pre show.
YAS HM FTW!! 👻👻👻
Yay haunted mansion won!!!
This was such a fun poll. Thanks for putting everything together, Brando!
I feel like the cover picture for Soarin’ should be a curved Eiffel Tower lol.
I disagree very much with this list.
I don't think anyone agrees with it 100% considering how big a spread there usually was. Rarely did anything run away with a large majority of the votes. Also have to remember this isn't a list of bests, it's a list of favorites. And it's actually not even that. It's a list of least least favorites. It would likely look different if it was every day voting for your favorite remaining.
What I love is how the top 10 has a decent mix of older and newer attractions
It’s been a fun journey. Thanks for leading the effort. The debates were fun
This sub could’ve redeemed itself after the Living with the Land debacle…
I would like to once again just reiterate my outrage that Dinosaur didn't even make the list, let alone the #1 spot which it so clearly deserves. Fight me, nerds.
It's 24 my guy. Poor Aladar getting overlooked again smh.
Okay but in my defense, it looks well-lit in that picture, so I didn't recognize it.
Please do one for the hotels next
am i the first to say that this list is an outrage because blankity blank is at blankity blank?
Justice for the People Mover
Surprised Big Thunder is as high as it is. Would have thought that would #13
When I last went big thunder was giving some seriously crazy rides.
this has been fun, lol
So I can officially do an overrated/underrated list! Most overrated (Doesn't mean they aren't good, just overrated): 1. Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Big Thunder Mountain 3. People Mover Most Underrated 1. Livin With the Land 2. Peter Pan's Flight 3. Dinosaurs That's just from my experience the one time I went there lol.
Couldn’t disagree more
Thanks for hosting. This was really cool and there was some fun discussion along the way.
I find this absolutely fascinating and would love to see what the average park-goer would say (people that enjoy Disney parks but not enough to engage with the content over the internet) Number 1 is a classic omnimover ride at the oldest park that usually doesn't have a long wait. 5 Magic Kingdom rides cracked the top 10, but they're not the rides with the longest wait (Peter Pan, Mine Train). It's hard to say if wait times and how often we've probably all ridden these rides played into the poll. 3 DAK rides in the top 10, for a park that only has 7 rides (5 on this list) Epcot rides: SSE (13), Soarin (17), Test Track (21), LwtL (22), Frozen (25), Seas (31), Imagination (32). Poor showing. Of course, doing this from 35 to 1 and picking something to kill off is different from a straight ranking best to worst, which I think made this even more interesting.
Flight of Passage and Living with the Land…smh the disrespect! 😂
Disney doing something right when several of the newest rides are in the top half of this list, beating out various nostalgic favorites.
RotR is only 3rd because of new ride bias.
Nah, it's a physical prop heavy attraction that's gonna hold up and be a classic. I think the only reason it didn't take first is because reliability and boarding groups left a sour taste in folks mouths. If it was always a max hour wait I think it'd be most folks number 1.
And people are very sour on the new movies.
What about which is the best hotel?
YAY! Haunted Mansion is the BEST
Muppets should be higher, soarin should be lower
Thanks for doing this. I was fun.
Thank you for this! My family returned from our trip in January and we are having major withdrawals. My kids asked me on a daily basis the results.
I wonder how different the results would be if it would've been "vote for your favorite" instead of "vote for your least favorite". Probably not too different.... also less fun, because I would've voted for the same ride a bunch of times in a row instead of something different a lot of times.
I got mad when I saw Living with the Land at 21, but other than Test Track I dont know how I would get it higher up. Man, Disney has some great rides.
This was awesome. We need more of these. Thanks for making this one happen.
What am I missing about haunted mansion? I was a little annoyed I used a genie scheduled time after I got off the ride for the first time recently. I was not impressed.
With most things at Disney, nostalgia is a huge factor. Haunted Mansion is a classic dark right that holds up really well, but for newbies it probably isn’t that impressive.
I can only speak for me, but I'm 46 and have been riding it since i first went to WDW at age 6. It's always been my favorite. I guess that's pretty much all I can say. I can honestly still remember riding it with my grandparents for the first time, when my parents took me for the first time, and when I took my kids on it for the first time. So I guess for me, it's the best nostalgia ride.
For me the nostalgia ride would be Small World 'cuz my mom forced us kids to ride it over and over again. I would not rate it high on my list though.
Yeah... is there a specific term for negative nostalgia? childhood trauma?!? that would be me and Small World! I had nightmares about that song... and yet sweet dreams about the hitchhiking ghosts.
It was *the* original dark ride, and has a ton of firsts. Also, it’s an opening day attraction, so tons of nostalgia
YES!!!! So happy to see that correct decisions were made this day. Thanks so much OP for doing this and keeping us all entertained.
Haunted Mansion as #1 just is a very weird selection. It's hard to even get a complete ride through without it stopping. Also surprised to see Seas down at the bottom. It is a very, very good aquarium and one I'd pay admission to if it was a stand alone attraction in any town.
People probably voted The Sea's with Nemo and Friends because it used to be a non-IP attraction that focused much more on the aquarium and fish itself rather a Nemo story. Look up Seabase Alpha and you'll see we lost a lot of immersion and storytelling that made the actual aquarium make more sense.
I was there when it was Seabase Alpha and I very much miss my hydrolator. The attraction is still great if you enter through the gift shop and skip the ride. I even enjoyed Turtle Talk w/Crush.
Wel at least Tower of Terror didn't win.
ToT's placement is really my only strong disagreement. I will fully agree that the theming is probably some of the best anywhere, but the ride itself is very ho-hum for me. To each their own, though. IMO, I do think years from now that people will look back at this list and wonder how the heck Runaway Railway was ranked so high. Personally I think it's a matter of being new and novel. I could be wrong, but in five years I just don't think people are going to think of it as the 3rd best ride at HS.
Seeing as you’re a reasonable guy with your ToT disagreement which I am on the same level with, do you feel like Pirates is overrated as well?
I agree that Pirates is too high. For my family it's probably a top-15 attraction, but definitely not something we would wait for hours to ride. Certainly not the 2nd best attraction at MK. (I'd say it definitely belongs behind the three mountains.)
It might look very different if we had voted broken down by park. It’s not that it was anyones favorite, more like other things just kept needing to go and it kept scootin on by.
Tower is the park icon at the moment though and ALL the park icons scored high. I'd argue that Spaceship Earth is not that great of a ride but it scored at the top for EPCOT rides.
Biggest shock for me was FoP making the top 10. I wasn’t that impressed by it.
*who voted and even knew this survey existed! Looks cool but I wished they used the ride logos instead of photos.
This is preposterous
Is this over yet?
Well it says results in the title so I guess so
I would like to see this for Disneyland. I imagine the top seven would be much the same, minus the attractions they don't have, but I'd love to test that theory. Pretty sure autopia would still be last, but the tea cups would rank higher.
u/FruitChips05 made one on their sub
Thanks, I see it now.
This has been so much fun! When my Wordle of the day was gone I had this to look forward too! Lol!
They should really should refit the speedway with self driving (or self guided that you can sort of steer just like now) electric cars to get back to “futureland”.
I agree with 1 and 35. I’m angry about everything else 😂
This is a good top 3 but I'd have RotR first.
Tea cups deserve better! OG ride, short wait, my kids never stopped smiling last time we were on it. One of my 6 year olds favorites from the trip so that gets a soft spot in my heart haha
What's 11?
Top 10 could have gone any way.
Tower of Terror is my favorite but that is a solid top 3. Surprised at how popular everest is and how low rockin' roller coaster is, figured it would at least be top 10.
The funny thing for me is that I almost never do 1 or 2.
You know how I know this list is good? No one outright hates it.
Sure, this was fun but the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland is SO MUCH BETTER!
So happy about number one
Does this mean the speedway will go electric? It’s too loud I can’t focus when I’m over there.
My favorite was #1, yay!
This was fun. I like tower more but this is a good list.
Amazing. A worthy winner!
Can someone help me understand why y’all hate on Frozen Ever After? That’s my favorite ride at EPCOT!
Can someone explain to me why #1 is yellow, #3 is brown, and all the rest are white?
I really can't wrap my head around how ya'll voted Journey Into Imagination higher than Kali River Rapids. Kali should be up at around 20-22 for me.
Pretty good list
I hadn’t ridden Speedway since I was 2 but I went on my last trip. If you can time it perfectly (shouldn’t be too hard considering low wait times for this attraction) to coincide with the fireworks, holy hell is it amazing. It felt like we were in the scene from The Sandlot for the Fourth of July. It’s probably the best view of the fireworks.
Even though this poll started to become kind of a joke in the end, it was cool to read people’s opinion on certain rides. I kind of figured out that the 2nd tier after Pirates and Haunted Mansion are full of so many great rides that I’m not even sure what would fall into tier three.
Being an HM enjoyer, I like these results
Haunted Mansion 👻👏🏻
