I mostly agree with the origional poster with these few changes:

Haunted Mansion-3 1/2
Swiss Family Treehouse-1 (seeing this once a decade is enough for me)
Carousel of Progress-3
Hall of Presidents-2 (I do this once a decade too...but I wish I did it slightly more)
It's a Small World-2
Country Bear's-2 1/2
Dumbo- 3 1/2

Disclaimer: If I was rating these for a first time visiter it would be slightly different. Obviously a one-time trip to WDW wouldn't be complete without It's A Small World...but I've been there 27 times...so yeah.

Oh...and Pirates is a 5 for me...I do that like 3 times a trip on average.

My daughter and I love the haunted mansion, jungle cruise, peter pans flight, poohs honey pots and pirates of course. Those I would give 5 stars and the rest I would give between 3 and 5 stars with the exception of the three mountains, we haven't gone on them yet. She has been to young, but hoping to get her to take the plunge on our next trip. Maybe just one mountain at a time.

Something to pass a little time at work. ^^

Splash Mountain - 5 stars
Space Mountain - 5 stars
Mickey's Philharmagic - 5 stars (Mmm. Smells like cake.)
Pirates of the Caribbean - 5 stars (I might reduce this if/when I get to see the DL version, but in the meantime I don't know any better, right?)
Tomorrowland Transit Authority - 5 stars (My favorite ride in the MK, possibly in all of WDW. No joke.)
Carousel of Progress - 5 stars
The Haunted Mansion - 4.5 stars (Was 5 until they took away the creepy no-face bride that scared me so badly when I was little.)
Country Bear Jamboree - 4.5 stars (Mad love for Big Al here.)
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - 4 stars
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin - 4 stars
Tomorrowland Speedway - 4 stars (3.5 when my dad/brother are in the car behind me. It says don't strike the car ahead of you, guys!)
The Jungle Cruise - 3.5 stars during the day, 4.5 stars at night.
Peter Pan's Flight - 4 stars
Astro Orbiter - 4 stars (Such an awesome view.)
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - 3 stars (My always seems to get caught in the chains in the queue for some reason, so I have bad sense-memories here.

)
Cinderella's Golden Carousel - 3 stars during the day, 3.5 at night
Goofy's Barnstormer - Never been on it.
it's a small world - 3.5 stars
Swiss Family Treehouse - 3 stars (Again, very cool view.)
Tom Sawyer's Island - 3 stars, 4 when the bouncy barrel bridge is open
The Hall of Presidents - 3 stars
Walt Disney World Railroad - 3 stars
Liberty Square Riverboat - 3 stars
Dumbo the Flying Elephant - 2 stars (Though I never want to stand in line for this again.)
Snow White's Scary Adventures - 2 stars
Magic Carpets of Aladdin - 2 stars
Stitch's Great Escape - 2 stars (I love the Stitch animatronic, but not enough to sit through this every time just to see it.)
The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management - Should be burned to the ground and replaced with the original.

Hmm...lessee, for me it would be:

Splash Mountain: N/R (My wife refuses to get on this one and I don't ride alone!)
Space Mountain: 1 Star (It gave me vertigo, this is one star for the ride itself, but for the rest of the experience it is 5 stars. Funny, I handled Rock n' Roller Coaster really well, in fact, its my favorite, but I don't like to ride space mtn.)
Philharmagic: 5 stars (One of the best 3-D shows I have ever seen)
POTC: 5 stars (yeah, DL might be better, but I live in GA, so this is the one I know)
TTA: 5 stars (Its just....fun)
Carousel: 4.5 stars (it gets a .5 taken off because of the song...my god...the song)
Haunted Mansion: 5 Stars (this is as good as it gets people!)
Country Bears: 2 Stars ( I thought it was just goofy, not the greatest)
Thunder Mtn.: 4 stars for daytime, 5 stars for nighttime!
Buzz Lightyear: 4 stars (it was fun, but my wife beat me

)
Small World: 1 star (Again, the song, but this one is far far far more insidious)
Tom Sawyer: 3 Stars (mildly entertaining diversion)
Magic Carpets, Astro Orbiter, Dumbo: 2 stars (I lumped these all together, because they are really the same ride)
Tommorowland Speedway: 2 stars (it was a lot better when I was 12!)
Stitch: 2 stars (to quote Office Space to the ride "what is it you say..you do here?" it doesn't move, it just...is)
Snow White: 2 stars (meh.)
Hall of Presidents: 4 stars (it was really well presented)
Golden Carousel: 3 stars (its a carousel, and unlike the other one, it doesn't move forward)
Winnie the Pooh: 5 stars (it's winnie the pooh, i mean, c'mon!)
Swiss Family Treehouse: 1 star (meh times 2)
Railroad: 3 stars (good for cooling off on a hot day!)
Tiki Room, Peter Pan, and Jungle Cruise: N/R cuz i've never been on them before.

Well, I have probably made people mad with this, but oh well. enjoy! 8)

Oh come on, have her wait in line with you, then when it's time to get on the ride, she can step across. That way she only has to wait 5-10 minutes.

nagelsn1978 · Post by **nagelsn1978** » Jul Thu 26, 2007 12:23 pm

yeah, i could try that, I think I almost have her convinced though that it would be a really cool ride. She absolutely dreads getting wet in any ways at a theme park.

Post by **subsonic** » Jul Thu 26, 2007 12:33 pm

For fear of messing up her hair probably.

Just get her a hat.

nagelsn1978 · Post by **nagelsn1978** » Jul Thu 26, 2007 12:35 pm

hehe, i was thinking about taking her to world showcase and getting her a little tipsy beforehand, i wonder if they would confiscate a flask at the gate to the magic kingdom. a little liquid courage might help my cause.

Put it in your pocket, they don't search your person.
