I've said in previous posts that our favorite is Big Thunder Mountain because that's my sweetie's fave, and I do whatever she wants. So on this trip, we kept that tradition alive by riding it at least 6 or 7 times... but now there's a new kid on the block: she finally rode EE, which I've been trying to get her to do for the last 4 years, and guess what: now it's her favorite! By the time I finally got her on it, our trip was almost over. But we still managed to ride it like 5 times, so I think by the time we go again it will be the new top dog. She even got a stuffed Yeti doll that she now sleeps with every night... but don't tell anyone I said so... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll have to count, but I think this trip I rode Toy Story Mania and Tower of Terror the most times.

Amy, how many times did you ride TSM? And, more importantly, HOW did you ride so many times???

I haven't looked yet but I think I rode it about 5 times. One time I lucked out. The wait time said 80 minutes, and I said "no way!" The CM at the start of the standby line asked why I was leaving and she said, no, the ride just came back on-line after being down for awhile, you probably only have a 20 minute-ish wait. Two of the times I was with my Mom who was in an ECV for this trip and cannot do stairs...you still have to wait in line, but not as long. And the rest of the times I was pretty lucky with timing I guess. It was a very cute ride and makes me want to check out the game for the Wii :D

I've got to say that 5 times is pretty impressive. We've never managed more than twice. Of course, the fact that we want FPs to TOT more than TSM probably affects that, but even so, I've never heard of anyone riding more than 3 times. The backup wait for the next FP is just too long, too fast.

Of course, I'm thinking that the new Star Tours may draw some of the crowd away... Here's hoping, anyway. Not that I'm a huge fan of TSM or anything. It's cute, like you said. I'd just like to see it be more normal than it is. 80 min. in the off-season is crazy.

Pretty sneaky there, Amy! They still don't have the single rider anymore, right?

Nope, the only single rider queues left anymore in all of WDW are for Rock n Roller Coaster ~ which was down almost every time I tried to ride it this trip, Expedition Everest ~ the single rider line wasn't open early in the day...or late in the day for that matter, and Test Track ~ where they shoo you through the room where they show the video after it has ended ~ no wait, but no preshow :(
I asked at Mission Space and all the CM's agree there need to be a lot more attractions with single rider queues ~ they really want them too!

I would be nice to have more single rider queues, but as we have covered in a separate thread before its just too badly abused by the park guests. :( :evil:

I know, but it seems like CM's would be able to discern between 1 or 2 people walking up and 42 people walking up to the single rider queue. I suppose it would be too hard to police. It's just a shame for those of us who really are riding all alone...sniff!

I have ridden it three times in a day before. I usually get at least 2 rides on it per trip, and I have been each of the last 3 years, and then before that I used to actually live in Orlando, so I went on my days off from work.
My favorite was the very first version, second revision not so much, the current is okay but I am voting for the return of the original, and even with using an EVC this time around I managed 3 trips to watch FIGMENT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> :idea:

Well our favorite is Big Tunder at Disneyland, usually 4 to 5 times a day two during the day and two at night.

Then comes Screamin as we usually ride four times in a row when we get over there.

The other rides on a per day basis are, Matterhorn, 3 - 4 times, Indiana, usually 3 times, Pirates 2 or three times, Haunted Mansion 2 or three times and Buzz Light Years 3 - 4 times, Space Mountain is two at a minimum per day, sometime 3 times. It all depends on the crowds of course.

I would say on this trip, we rode ToT the most!!! The wait time was never that long and even when it said 20 mins. it was more like 10! That is my ultimate fav. ride EVER!!!

I wish the Mouse Couple would post the picture of Everest! Mouseoholic's face is priceless! (Or maybe it was posted, I have not been through all of the threads yet!) :D

I rode ToT a lot this trip too. I actually like it more now that they have the seatbelts and not the lap bars! I don't remember seeing the Everest picture yet. Maybe they were waiting for you to return ~ Welcome back b-babe :D

Welcome back, B-babe!
Yeah, that picture is awesome.... especially because you, Boilerdude, and I all have nice smiles on our faces while she's screaming her head off... classic!
I'd like to post it, but it's a ride photo that we bought there, so I'd have to find it (somewhere in the pile of trip stuff) and scan it into the computer before I can post it. I'll try to get around to that as soon as I can, but you're welcome to post it yourself if you'd like to, and if you have a scanner too (I'm pretty sure we bought the two 5x7's and gave you a copy, right?).

You did give a copy M-dude, but I don't have my scanner hooked up. :( It's in the basement somewhere?!
