Well sight is our most relaied upon sense as humans. Additionally, listening to ride throughs here on Sub is great but doesn't come close to being there. If you were on Pirates and couldn't hear you'd still see everything going on around you, whereas if you could only listen to Yo-Ho I think you'd be hard pressed to understand whats going on around you. But then again, and I suppose it'd fall under touch, without the motion of the ride or the smell of the ride you could just be watching a video of the attraction and it wouldn't really work.theBIGyowski wrote:Wow...this is a hard one seeing as WDW and DLR pay special attention to every single one of the senses in almost ever facet of the parks.
If I imagine that I am deaf, the smells and sights of the parks (especially MK) would be amazing and enough to sustain the magic. Same goes for if I were blind. The music as you walk from land to land and attraction to attraction would be enough to paint a picture without needing to see anything.
If I had to pick my favorite...it would probably be sight...mostly because of the attractions themselves. Without being able to see you would miss out on almost every single attraction. Also seeing the castle and SSE for the first time as you approach the parks...it's hard to beat that. Close second would be sound though...which is why Subsonic Radio is so amazing!

The music, the laughter, the steamboat whistle, the railroad moving along the tracks...the list could go on! But I also couldn't imagine not being able to see all the details that are all around in every park, on every attraction.
Sorry, but sight and sound go hand in hand for me...if I absolutely had to choose, I'd probably say sight though. If ever I walked in to a park and wasn't able to see the attractions, I think I'd go crazy!
Are you sure you are only 20? You are very wise for your tender years!Arvorenn wrote:Interesting (and tough) question.
Okay, if I really had to choose one, it would be sight, as with most of you guys. Simply because the parks are crowded with details and I would be very disappointed not being able to look for hidden Mickeys
But of course you can't experience the parks in full with one of your senses missing (okay, one could argue about common sense - which seems to be lacking some of the guests, e.g. teenagers who rent scooters without needing them. Or people who take flash photography during shows...).

But, now that you mention it, I'm not 20 - at least, not until August
Somehow I missed this post last night, but I think it's very well articulated! Looking at it that way, I would want touch for the feeling of the thrill rides.Mr.ToadWildRider wrote:Well sight is our most relaied upon sense as humans.

I think going off of which sense you need more to enjoy the park is an uphill battle. Even though I'm sure sight is the most needed to fully experience the park, (without sight you wouldn't be able to enjoy the Castle or the scope of SSE, etc no matter how strong your other senses were) I think that the premise of the question- i.e. which do you enjoy most gets lost by looking at it that way though it's an interesting thought. I think though that for example if your favorite rides are thrill rides because of the sensations they provide then that person's most enjoyed sense in the park would be touch, but without sight Test Track wouldn't be much different that driving in a standard car and Star Tours or Mission Space would just feel like rocking.
Can I have two?
