Ok I understand HM, and I know why people like Soarin' But Soarin' gets old real fast for me! it seems like I'm the only one that doesnt think that soarin' really really good
I would do the Midway Mania or BLAB maybe If if I did HM too.

I would think about the TSMM but in all honesty I think the way they have you fire the guns in that ride just sucks. I could see doing it once, but over and over would be tiring.

good point about the firing but at least Astro Blasters has a trigger. And I have yet to confirm it but last time I went She shot red spots on her Disney Sweat shirt and she said she was getting points. But from what I know of the technology thats not how works so hmm

Too many rides to choose from! But one place I could sit in all day would be the lobby of the animation building! One of my favorite places in the world.

I love the Haunted Mansion, especially the Holiday version, and Peter Pan is an amazing site to behold. So many of the attractions are so fully engrossing, but I think I would have to Splash Mountain if it was to be all day. It combines the dark ride fantasy with the roller coaster thrill. I don't know if I'd want to be wet all day, but if it was to be all day I'd probably dress appropriately.

The one I would like more than anything was America Sings but it's not there anymore. Many years ago I rode it 3 or 4 times one day not in a row. Great Moments Mr. Lincoln is one I could do over & over.

America Sings went away before I was born so not that I dont respect it but I dont really "know it"

My mom loved America Sings but it was before my time. I don't recall ever going on it.

America Sings was a good show, it was Disneyland's most complex show ever done. Six rooms with six shows.The load in room, Four different music rooms, then the exit room all having to be timed for the audience ring to move to the next show.
There are poor quality videos on youtube of it.

Why can't Disneyland bring back a show like that?

I don't think children these days would a) have the attention span or b) enjoy the nostalgia that came with the ride much like older fans do.

ding, ding, ding! You have hit the nail on the head for a lot of the attractions, current children's attention spans are like a flea with all the electronic gear they have access to now-a-days. Wow, does that statement make me look old or what?!
