It's a no-brainer for me - Splash Mountain. I never get tired of that ride!

BTW, I know that people don't usually think of this one, but Main Street is actually categorized as an attraction. You can't imagine how many people spend so much time in the shops - sometimes even longer than they wait in line for another attraction.

I really love them all. I chose Splash Mountain because my whole family loves it and it is so unique.

Splash Mountain. It's one of the few great rides also at Disneyland (Space, Pirates, Big Thunder, Mansion, Buzz, and on and on) that is at least as good, and perhaps better, in Florida.

Um, by what? On any list I've come across as a guest or CM, there are attractions ON Main Street, but it's always listed as a land, not an attraction.

Ocassionally we are given lists with 8 lands, though. Kudos to anyone who can get the eighth.

I like MK's Thunder better, but I've since learned I'm in a minority on that. Astro Orbiters sort've counts. With a refurb, I think Jungle and Mansion and Space would/will be better. That's about all I can think of.

And Tower if we move on to other parks.

Dang.

It's a toss-up between Big Thunder and Splash Mountain.

I'm surprised Jungle Cruise isn't listed.
So am I. And I made the list.

Oops.

. . . now I thought you could edit polls on this forum. . .

Haunted Mansion wins by far for me. It's so detailed! You see something new every time. Too bad it won't be open next week when my wife and I are to be there. I'm glad that it's being maintained, though. I'll see it on the next trip. I remember seeing Walt Disney describe the HM on tv before the Disneylad version opened and I was soooo excited to see it. I didn't get to Disneyland for another 15 years and when I walked through the gate, I couldn't wait to see the Haunted Mansion. It did not dissapoint me.

No Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse? Is that considered minor to most? I love it. And the song is the best. :donald:

I love the TTA. It gives some of the best views of Tomorrowland and the Castle. If it isn't busy and you ask, the cast will let you stay on....and on...and on. I miss the skyway.

I went with splash because I think the story the scenes tell is awesome and I love the music that goes along with it. And of course the drop is the best part.
There's a snake in my boot!

As attractions go, it would have to be Splash Mountain. The whole ride is a great experience with a great thrill drop in the water to boot :wink:

Tough one here. I ultimately selected HM. I had to consider the attraction's Cast Members that are as interesting as the attraction. The cast at Splash just don't add to the ride. I still get a kick out of the Ghost Party in the Mansion. Dueling ghosts, skulls from the pipe organ and the dancing coples are still cool.
