Wow, how can you limit yourself to just one. I feel like it's halloween and the person handing out the candy says, "Please take one", and the bowl is full of Snickers, Milky Ways, Kit Kats, and Reese's. How do you take just ONE?

I would like to think that I like some rides more than others.

By Park:
MK: TTA, Haunted Mansion (post-refurb)
DHS: ToT, Rock n Roller Coaster (but TSM may take over after riding it some more)
AK: Everest, Kali River Rapids (great way to cool off in the summer)
Epcot: Soarin', Test Track (if only for coming up with many ways to look surprised in the photo)

:wave:
Are we there yet? When can we go back?

I don't know what's worse, the anticipation of going or the withdrawals after getting home.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see this thread before?! My all time favorite ride is ToT! I LOVE the old Twilight Zone eipsodes and I just love all the detail that went into this queue. The ride is also fantastic! I also love that whole era of the 20's! Is anyone else a Twilight Zone fan here?! Did you ever notice the hidden door when you exit the ride????

It is hard to narrow it down to just one though! Rock N' Roller Coaster is a close second.

Epcot: Soarin
MK: CoP, SM, Buzz
AK: Everest

Those would be my favs!

Ohh Dinosaur. That is one attraction that I totally forgot about. I really need to go on that next time we go. We were supposed to go on that, this past year but after an extended safari, we had to cut out Dinosaur.

My last time there we rode it just before the park started pushing people out. So, when we got off we quickly ran back to the ride entrance and got to ride it again without having to watch the queue video. We got to ride Dinosaur twice in only 15 minutes or so! Same thing for Test Track. Rode that baby 3 times in a row without having to wait on the queue video. Of course we got a little sick on the third go-around.

To keep from hijacking the thread completely...

MK - HM and Space Mtn
Epcot - Soarin' and Test Track
DHS - ToT and RR (TSM might be up there once I ride it)
AK - Everest and Dinosaur

MK-Space Mountain
Epcot-Soarin
AK-Everest
DHS-Rockin Roller Coaster

However, mine change as my daughter gets older. They used to be simpler rides that she enjoyed. Now she's liking the thrill rides more.

Even with a fastpass it is about a 20-30 minute time span until you get on the ride.

The renovated HM is amazing and really brought that attraction "back to life"...excuse the pun. I got to go on it shortly after the renovation and aboslutely loved it. I then got to go on the one at DL this past May and could see the differences in the scenes. Can't wait to get back on the one at WDW in 2 months! Those ghosts won't be the only ones grinning! :D

I've tried to think of an answer to this question for about 10 years, and I can never come up with one! I like a lot of rides, and a lot of different types of rides. I guess the best I can do is break it down by park.

MK: It's a Small World (ducks from rotten tomatoes thrown my way :lol: )
EPCOT: Test Track, although it's really a toss-up between that and Soarin'
Studios: Tower of Terror, although I loved Toy Story Mania
AK: Kilimanjaro Safaris
