AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't decide!
I have never been to any outside of the US, but I will one day in future. I can only say I love them all as if they were my children (I don't have any so its all I got). My brain hurts!

I want to say I re-iterate that the original is the best... my fiancee and I noted on our trip to WDW last month that the HM there was waaaay too dark... you can't see anything in large parts of the ride. For instance, when you exit the attic and head backwards down into the cemetary, and those big trees are looking like they're reaching for you?

They're not scary if you can't see them.

We noticed the same thing about PotC, actually... and the queue for Space Mountain. Dark, moody, thematic, I get it... but talk about dangerous!

I have the audio of all HMs and Phantom Manor definitley sounds the best, but for the original ride idea, WDW is the best. The Disneyland one jumps right to the Endless Hallway, while WDW gets you in the mood with the library and music room.

The WDW wastes time with those silly big spiders... the DL HM is cool effect after cool effect...

Oh yeah... and Madame Leota has learned to fly in Anaheim. Top that, Orlando!

Well ofcourse it only flies when it is working. The last time I was there it worked one day out of 5 and I was on it at least 4 times a day, all at different times.

When did they start doing it?

I was there in July and it just sat there except on the 50th it worked in the morning at least.
