Best Theme Park Story?
This is a tough one to narrow down to. We have almost every ride with a true central story. So how do we do this ?Well, I'm only choosing the rides that have a truly strong story line:
The Indiana Jones Adventure
Splash Mountain
Tower of Terror
Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean
Big Thunder Mountain
Kilomanjaro Safari
Jungle Cruise
Small World
Star Tours
Carousel of Progress
Dinosaur
Blizzard Beach (the whole park)
Mission Space
This only to name a few... I personally love Splash Mountain's story because of it's American classic style

Do you think have enough time to go the bathroom before the next show?

TOT and HM are my favorite attraction storylines - and you forgot Rock-n-Roller Coaster - another classic storyline! 8)

While I like HM and POTC over Splash, I feel that Splash does the best job of following a flow and telling a story. Though, most of the dark rides in Fantasyland do a good job of telling stories as well. Except Snow White at DLR, it just ends abruptly.

That's a hard one -- I really like POTC, but the guest is mainly an observer, as with a lot of other rides. I like storylines that really put the guest into the middle of the story. With that in mind my favorite is probably Splash Mountain, because we get to go into the briar patch along with Brer Rabbit. I also like Kilimanjaro and RnR coaster.

I didn't even notice... they probably did cut "infidels" as they took away the guns on the Jungle Cruise for awhile after 9/11.spaulo wrote: (please note they cut the "infidels" part at some point... was it post-9/11? or earlier? anyone know?)

Great point, and an incisive observation. Very interesting difference between the attractions -- observer vs. participant.jbvenn wrote:That's a hard one -- I really like POTC, but the guest is mainly an observer, as with a lot of other rides.

FWIW, Peoplemover also put you into the "story" even though it's more of a tour than an experience in itself, perhaps... I've written a bunch about the ride here:

No, no... He's got a point.
