Wow, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone make this argument actually. most people like the finale in DLR much better than WDW. Why do you prefer WDW?DisneyChris wrote:Oh, one more thing, If we were raiting Disney World's Mountains, Splash would take number one, I am always disapointed by the California version because Florida's is far superior.
Which mountain ride do you like??

I prefer Disney World's Splash beacuse I feel it is better planned out in several ways. The story line is more cohesive, the animatronics are not just stuck there because they had to come up from a spot for this one, or for that one, but because they designed each character specifically for its purpose. The animation seems crisper because the figures are newer, the waterways are better planned and you cannot see metal tubes guiding the boats, there is less visable distractions in the ceiling, the lighting is better hiden, and the decor is slightly better, newer, and more colorful. The final scenes are very similar, too similar to say Disneyland is superior because it has a slight edge in this room only, which I even think is debateable. Thats just how I see it. My opinion only. No offence to anyone who may disagree.

As a coaster and thrill ride (but NO spinning!) enthusiast I had to pick Space Mountain. If we were at WDW I'd of said Splash though.

Darn, this is a really tough one because they are all amazing in my opinion. I will have to choose Thunder Mountain as it is great during the day, but even better at night.

It's a tough choice between splash and thunder. I love them both so much.

Re: Which mountain ride do you like??
Hmmm, I would have the give the edge to Splash. I truly enjoy both attractions, but the ending scene, plus the middle with the lillypads and all, help make Splash a little something more splashtacular

Splash Mountain during the day and at night if it is NOT raining.
Thunder Mountain gets the edge at night if it's raining.

Splash at WDW but Space at DL.
Re: Which mountain ride do you like??
With me it depends on what mood I'm really in. So I asked myself what ride would I ride for 1 year straight? so I answered Splash. A close 2nd is BTMRR becausue the last time I went to Disney (Last summer) On the second hill as your sloped upward the fireworks were blazing! It looked like it could have been in a Disney Land commercial!

Re: Which mountain ride do you like??
I picked BTM because I have long loved this ride (it was the first "coaster" I actually liked) and though it's great during the day, it's even better at night! Especially if you catch it during Fantasmic!
Space and Matterhorn would be tied for second. I don't care to ride Matterhorn often though...too rough for me, but great views!

Re: Which mountain ride do you like??
Having gone to WDW so much more than DL I've naturally ridden Splash, Space, and BTMRR so much more than Matterhorn. I guess that's why I pick Matterhorn. I remember as a kid seeing the Matterhorn on television and wishing one day I'd get to ride it. I waited more than three decades to see that mountain. Being that it's the only one it's so special. If I could transport right now and be on one of them it's going to be Matterhorn, after sundown.
