Mice Age wrote:I present to you the second park built at Walt Disney World and the first non-Disneyland style park built by Disney. Tipping the scales at twice the physical size of the Magic Kingdom, this is no lightweight of a park. From Orlando Florida let’s hear it for the dawn of a new Disney era, Epcot!

Entering the ring next is a Hollywood heavyweight. This double fisted gladiator can deliver the glitz of showbiz or an adrenaline rush of excitement. The third park added to Walt Disney World and the most popular movie themed park in the world, give it up for Disney-MGM Studios!

The next challenger is once again coming to us from Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Stalking the ring now is a whole new species of theme park. The largest park in the Disney empire, the newest park on the Florida property and a wild addition to the Disney line up, roaring into this fight comes Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Hailing from Tokyo Japan is perhaps the most eagerly awaited park in history, the companion park to Tokyo Disneyland it had big shoes to fill and a lot of hype to live up to. From the salty oceanic depths comes what has been called the greatest park ever imagined. Setting sail and aiming to sink all competitors make some noise for Tokyo Disney Sea!

From Anaheim California our next combatant is the sister park to Disneyland. After years of planning it was the first park added to the California property in over 45 years and the newest Disney park in the United States. Boasting some proven winners as well as new concepts in attractions, give it up for the Golden State Warrior: Disney’s California Adventure!

And finally, all the way from Paris France is the newest addition to Disney’s ever growing stable of parks. The sister park of Disneyland Paris and the cousin of Disney MGM Studios it hopes to prove its merit with a powerful combination of Hollywood magic and European style put your hands together for Walt Disney Studios Paris!

Only been there three times in my whole life, but Epcot has always been a highlight for me.

Epcot has always been a hit for me too. Just something about it that is special, mixing the science with the world traveling is a really unique idea done no where else.

MGM is now catching up in my mind - for years it seemed so much smaller though now it is starting to get to the point where it is starting to compete with Epcot in my mind. More attractions is the big thing, the silver screen is great and holds so much potential. At least there they are adding and not subtracting [well, they did remove Res. Street...]. And I can see AK going the same way as MGM with the Himalayan village and Exp. Everest opening soon. They both are maturing and improving. And same with DCA, it holds a lot of potential if they just fill in the hole where Millionaire and Superstar were.

Can't say anything for overseas due to the fact I've never been there - want to go though!

I have never been to any of these parks. I voted for MGM because of the trakes that come from there

Blessed with size Epcot was designed as almost two parks in one, the forward-looking Future World and the international mix of World Showcase. This size allows Epcot to hold a wide variety of attractions, each neatly contained in it’s own pavilion.

I love the look of Epcot

Very interesting results- looks like I'll have to get to Tokyo to see DisneySea!

Epcot is my favorite of all the Disney Parks but from what I have heard, Disney Sea is supposed to be the best, BY FAR!! Wish I could go there

Haven't been to Disney Sea yet. For me, Epcot has stood the test of time. Over twenty years old, and I still love it. MGM Studios, however, seemed rushed to me, and still doesn't impress me. Maybe it's the "water tower" as the main symbol. Yes, I know, Hollywood studios typically had water towers, bu so does the back-woods, red-neck town that I grew up in. I expect something more from Disney.

Well, actually the Water Tower is no longer the symbol for MGM studios. Now, it's The Hat. And, I agree that compared to other parks, MGM seems rushed. Same ting with Animal Kingdom. I think that ever since EPCOT was built, things seem to be rushed to completion. Shouldn't be that way...

While I havent actually been to Tokyo DisneySea the pictures I have seen and the responses from their are just overwhelmingly positive, part of this is that the Tokyo Disneysea is mostly owned by Oriental Land Company and the attendance out their is a bit higher (I think) then in the states. Still the US parks could learn a lot from Tokyo Disneysea.

They also are huge Disney fans over in Japan not to mention it is said to be really easy to get to the parks with the JR Keiyo Line stopping at the monorail station, I want to say the Shinkansen serves that line too. And you're right bartman - it sure sounds like they could teach the US parks a lesson or two!

MGM has my vote, but somehow, I think you all knew that

Mike Pinocchio · Post by **Mike Pinocchio** » Jan Fri 21, 2005 5:24 pm

I gave DCA my vote just because I haven't been to any of the others. Besides, it deserves some support after giving me somewhere to go to get away from Disneyland's crowds.
