I absolutely love the Enchanted Tiki Room, it has so much retro Disney charm to it and it's relaxing as heck when you've been out walking in the heat for hours. Some of my other favorites are Splash Mountain, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur. You can probably guess what my two favorite parks are. :D
I really like Crush's Coaster in Disneyland Paris, it's one of those spin and drop rides but with actual solid themeing. Phantom Manor is also cool as well, and has nice twists on the haunted mansion, especially when you start going backwards and go underground and see coffins and skeletons.
I like the change where the woman chases the pirate. I've always liked the idea of inept villains, and it has more character than just some pirate chasing some lady.
Yay, love the list, and largely our lists are pretty darn close, I have always love love loved the storybook canals. and for a chuckle, were both former cast members, and the same age too, hehehehe
I am going to Disneyland for the first time ever !!with my 8 year old son this November . I don't know who is more excited me or my boy. But watching this video I am looking forward to the rides you mentioned.
LOL great video. While I agree with you about not taking pictures or video while riding most rides if you get stuck or have to evacuate all bets are off. LOL. Thanks again.
I have only been to Disney World but some of my favorites in no specific order are Big Thunder Mountain which was my first ever roller coaster, Splash Mountain, Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safari, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mission Space, Test Track, and soarin'. I didn't want to make my list too long so some I didn't include. I missed out on tower of terror last time we went to Disney world because I was still scared of drop towers then. I also missed out on a few of the other rides. Luckily next March my school is taking a trip down to Disney world and I will make sure to get on some of the rides I missed.
I got to go on two behind the scenes tours of tower of terror. One I signed up for in the hub, the other was part of my guest service class. It held a special place in my heart because I got to see so much behind the scenes.
I've been going to DL for just over 45 years, it never once occurred to me to ride the StoryBook Canal boats at night. I'll have to try that sometime. I'll bet it looks great with the lights on inside the houses.
Small World is nightmare inducing for me!!! I just thinking about the ride stopping and all the animatronics coming to life and killing everyone in my boat...
I used to spend hours doing the classes at the animation academy over and over. It was fun learning how to draw characters and waiting for the next class allowed for fun interactions with the animators. I also loved hanging out and watching the mini shows by the citizens of Hollywood. Another favorite that I did 2 or 3 times was the greenhouse tour in the land. With the cast member discount it was super cheap and it was special to dfo with friends. We always used to taste the cola in Epcot. We would haze newcomers to our group by filming them drinking Beverly. It was always a fun memory.
The Beverly was fun for us with newcomers as well. When I would escort school groups I always made sure to get them to try it all at the same time while I took pictures. Got some great reaction photos!
I have the exact same story about evacuating Splash Mountain. It was right as Magic Kingdom was closing and we had to walk backstage down some stairs. Still really cool lol
My favorite ride at Disney World has to be Tower of Terror. I love the creepy stuff and that's certainly one of them. Haunted Mansion is a great close second! Big Thunder Mountain is always a must do when I'm there as well - it's a classic!
By far, Mission: Space (Orange Group) at Epcot is my all time favorite. It's unbelievably thrilling, and I'm absolutely fascinated with the mechanics of the ride.
Sadly Muppets ride scarred me for life. I remember the Muppet Ride as a five year old and the whole 3D (at the time) movie terrified me and it took me years and years to get over my fear of 3D rides. I would refuse to wear the glasses because I was just terrified! I love the Muppets, and have all three seasons of the show on DVD and a DVD with bonus famous actors on the show like Steve Martin. My favorite Muppet movie is a tie between Treasure Island and Christmas Carol. Okay! My favorite rides from Disney World: in no particular order 1. Space Mountain! The most thrilling coolest ride I have ever been on! And the best part/memory of it is in a photo from the ride! I had never ridden it before, but apparently, I knew where the camera was, and looked directly at it when they took the picture on the ride! 2. Test Track! Oh I loved being able to build my own car and make it super fast and powerful! Great use of "entertainment" in the cue! They utilize a lot of cool parts of car design through physical and tangible outlets. Very interactive and cool, and if you have a magic band, you can save your car and upload it to the ride, and you can email yourself the car! Beyond fun and amazing! This is at Epcot. 3. Snow White Mine Train! Okay, I do not know the whole name of the ride, but that's not important. This also is fun and amazing in its own right. This, like Test Track, uses great cue entertainment through tangible interaction. It is BORING standing in line, and it helps to break up the monotony of waiting in line if you have something fun to do or look at. The water pipe organ, the barrels, and the gem game are such amazing parts of the cue that everyone can play around with! Okay, the ride is fun, and I loved being able to feel like I was physically in the movie. It was a great roller coaster! 4. People Mover! I did some research before we went to Disney, and many blogs said to ride this since it was a Disney innovation. And I am glad I rode it. Great view of the park, it was great to sit and relax our tired feet, and it is just another display of efficiency and innovation. It might not have thrills, but it is just a wonderful ride! 5. The Frozen Ever After Ride! I mean, what's not to love about it? I had the best experience on it. Sadly, we were not in on the whole "book your fast passes in 30 days;" we booked all of them the day before. So sadly, Frozen was not available as a fast pass when we went to Epcot. We walk into the park, and head over to Norway pavilion to kill some time before Soarin' and other fast passes we had, and po and behold! A flipping twenty minute wait for Frozen! I ran right onto the regular cue, and boom! In no time, we were riding! I loved the inside, and the cute views of Oaken's shop and family in the sauna. The ride exceeded all of my expectations. I nearly cried when we got to Elsa's castle as she sang Let it Go. It was just so overwhelmingly awesome! I love how the pushes you backwards too. And the Marshmallow scary guy was cool, but my favorite snow thing aside from Olaf is the "little brothers," and I was glad to see them in the ride. 6. Soarin! The views of the ride were breathtaking, and the smells were interesting as well! Never been on a ride where you could smell the sights, and that was pretty cool. It is also amazing that as a rider, you were not able to see the other gliders, and every seat had a great view. Usually, you can see the illusion or mechanics of how the ride works, but not on this ride. The magic of how they do it stays magical and a secret. 7. Pirates of the Caribbean! I really enjoyed the update! And the pirate that sits on the bridge with no shoes on? He was my favorite as a kid. I named him Stinky Feet Pete. 8. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! Very thrilling and a blast! 9. Haunted Mansion! I love the Stretching Room, and even though I am not a huge fan of scary haunted house things, it was a pretty fun ride. Yeah, I did have a few jump scares, but for waiting a long time to ride this, since my whole family won't ride anything scary was well worth it! 10. Three Cabelleros! This was a great ride at the Mexico pavilion, and we would have never ridden if we didn't have lunch by the ride inside the Aztec monument. It was quite a nice boat ride, and honestly, it's so much better than the movie. I watched it after riding, and thought it wasn't great. Loved the ride and Donald Duck!
This may be unique to me and my situation, but I'm sure many folks have had the same experience. #1 ride for me, right now, bar none ... It's a Small World. Why? I took my daughter on the ride about a few weeks ago for her 1st birthday. The look on her face ... it melted my heart. Apparently, according to my own mother, this was the same look I had many many years ago on the same ride. I love your channel and updates! +1 subscriber!!
Mr. Toad's would definitely make my list as well! And the Matterhorn was definitely an E ticket! (And I also saw the original Star Wars at a drive-in when it came out!)
Great list! Makes me want to go to DL even more! Here's mine. 1. Peoplemover 2. Great Movie Ride (RIP) 3. Haunted Mansion 4. It's a Small World 5. Peter Pan's Flight 6. Carousel of Progress 7. Tiki Room 8. The Little Mermaid rid 9. Maelstrom (RIP) 10. Soarin'
For a while at Disneyland, if you went on the Storybook Canal Boats sometime between morning and noon, a character would join you on the boats! Most of the time it was characters like Alice, The Mad Hatter, and Peter Pan. They’d mess around with the guests and steal the mic just to goof off. Best time to go on. Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is a great ride! You still have to walk across the hall to get to the car, but the drops are much more frequent. The songs and the story are fun too. Our Tower was too small to move like the one in Florida. Just up and down motions every once in a while. Most of the people I talk to agree that it was best to change our Tower to fit something that suited the building a little more since it couldn’t move across rooms like the one in Florida. Plus the Halloween nighttime edition has cool effects and really just has fun dropping you from high heights with no stopping. Nice video, as usual!
Wow you've only been evacuated from one ride!? That's crazy :O. I've been evacuated from Space Mountain, 7 Dwarves, Little Mermaid and maybe a few more too. That's in only six trips to Disney too lol. Once I move down to Florida to work in Disney hopefully I'll pick up some more. I'm sooo jealous about you being evacuated from Splash Mountain (My personal favorite ride)!! I love the Muppet Vision show too!! Not often do I meet someone else that likes Muppet Vision 3D All the attractions you chose are great, but Carousel of Progress though? :O I'm just kidding, I'm sure you've got a very respectable opinion about it
I know- hard to believe in all of my years riding things all over the place I've only had a couple of evacs anywhere. And that's the only one at a Disney park. It was hard to narrow it down to 10, as there are so many great attractions. Carousel of Progress was one that we would do almost every trip, so certainly one that all of us enjoyed. it's a great big beautiful tomorrow...
i enjoyed soarin' over california when disney world's epcot did it but i'm loving the new one. i rode the ride on my last trip with the new film installed, so glad disney world finally has its very own version : )
Haunted Mansion is one of my favorites. The first time I went to Disney, I was about five years old and terrified of it. My mom dragged me on, saying I'd have fun, and she was right. It's an excellent attraction.
I finally went on ToT in June. I loved it. I avoided it for the longest time. Last week I got my husband to go on it. He was surprised that it wasn't worse than expected.
I've only been to Disneyland and DCA. My favorites are Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, CA Screamin', Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise (the jokes are the best!) and finally, Guardians of the Galaxy (it has such a party feel, everyone is excited to be there and really get into it.)
Tower of Terror is definitely in my top ten as well. the whole twilight zone theme is what makes it so enjoyable, not just the drop. It's Disney at its best. For this same reason I love Everest in Animal Kingdom.
I think it would have been a trip before 84. I remember going in elementary school around the same time my family actually won a trip to Disneyland when I was in grade 3. I remember we had tickets to get into the park at that point
I enjoy Haunted Mansion. My wife and daughter don't. it's a great ride with some very neat effects. it's a good example of why picking just 10 is very hard.
Lucky!! I've always wanted to be evacuated from Splash Mountain its my favorite attraction of all time. I bet if it ever happened I'd disappear and become one with the mountain😂😂. My top 10 probably always changing but in no particular order for now it stands at: 10: The Grand Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros 9: Tower of Terror 8: Mr Toads Wild Ride 7: Space Mountain 6: Country Bear Jamboree 5: Spaceship Earth 4: Dinosaur 3: Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Haunted Mansion (interchangeable with pirates) 1: Splash Mountain Probably forgetting a ton others like Roger Rabbit, Everest, The Tiki Room And Carousel of Progress just miss the list.
My favorite ride is kinda silly but its the monorail. Just so many memories of getting to the park with my mom , dad ,and sister and knowing that this ride is the first and last ride the whole family Will ride together and is the ride that everyone can and will ride... But at Busch Gardens the Scorpio is tops for me it may be small but its fast goes upside down and when I was younger It was the only ride I was tall enough to ride lol..
One thing I have to say, but one of my favorite attractions is the new frozen sing along at hollywood studios, the show is funny, amazing, right next to it, you can meet olaf, I did meet olaf and I joked with him saying kind of weird to see a snowman during the summer heat, well at least he's no frosty the snowman where you melt right when you go inside a garden house
I love all the rides, especially the coasters, but these are the TEN that I must do every single time I visit: 10) Indiana Jones, 9) Alice in Wonderland, 8) Mr. Toad, 7) Tiki Room, 6) Snow White, 5) Dumbo, 5) Peter Pan, 4)Star Tours , 3) Haunted Mansion, 2) Pirates of Caribbean, and the first ride I ever rode when I was 6 years old: 1) the Teacups.
I'd agree with your opinions on the changes to Pirates if they hadn't already changed it so much. Originally it was a bit darker and more realistic and was intended as a moral tale that clearly showed that no good came of piracy, but with the addition of Jack Sparrow and such all that went out the window. Now that it ends with Jack surrounded by treasure, piracy is shown as more fun and rewarding, so I think removing other problematic elements makes sense. Completely agree on Storybook Land Canal Boats, though. It and Casey Jr. are tragically underrated and the Storybook Land miniatures are the best part of the park in my opinion.
Personally, I love Mr. Toad and Matterhorn, but I am oddly really fond of Roger Rabitt's CarToon Spin. I also was also evacuated from Splash Mountain in Disneyland, just before the second lift hill. I walked behind the black curtain...
Soarin over CA is great!! I wish that they refilmed the CA version in higher quality rather than switching to over the world. I was evacuated on Alice when I was younger. I’m disappointed that the new Star Tours doesn’t change the story anymore... Muppets scarred my sister for life haha. I don’t know why, she was too young haha.
I've only visited Disneyland Paris / Studios Park. So my top 10 rides will be: 1: Big Thunder Mountain 2: Star Tours 3: Buzz Lightyear Lasergame 4: Moteurs Action (stunt show with bikes and cars) in Studio park 5: Armageddon (Walkthrough) Studios park 6: Studio Tram tour 7: Phantom Manor (Haunted mansion) 8: Mad Hatter's tea cups 9: Pirates ride 10: Thunder Mesa riverboat
Close choice between the Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. Both have amazing queues that really transport you into their worlds. But I think Haunted Mansion edges Indiana out with the awesome stretching room and iconic ghost host.
Fernando Gallegos No, he meant the one in California Adventure was changed. The one in Disney World at Hollywood Studios is still Tower of Terror. One was doing better than the other when it came to visitors, and the California Adventure Tower was much smaller. Disney noted it was in the way of where they wanted to start building up a Marvel theme in California Adventure and decided to change it.
Fernando Gallegos The one in Disney California Adventure is now Guardians of the Galaxy themed. The one in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida is still the original version.
I got evacuated from "Journey to Inner Space" at Disneyland. It was a ride that you set in and road around in chairs like the Haunted House, and get "shrunk to the size of atom". It was replaced by Star Tours.
SirWillow I never realized the srink gun was in the original star tours. I was a teenager (Living about 30 minutes from Anaheim) when they converted the ride, and I was sad. I was a book/science nerd, son I loved Journey to Inner Space.
My Top 10 Would Look Like This! 1) Space Mountain (Disneyland) - Absolute favorite, always will be! 2) Expedition Everest - Awesome ride with some incredible storytelling and themeing 3) California Screamin' - Everything you want for a roller coaster! 4) Tower of Terror (WDW) - Not just a drop ride, but an absolutely incredible experience! 5) Test Track - Very underrated thrill ride that is very fun and interactive 6) Indiana Jones Adventure - Probably the best themed ride at any Disney theme park and an incredible experience! 7) Avatar Flight of Passage - Extremely immersive and breathtaking! Absolute must-do! 8) Rock n Roller Coaster - Extremely fun roller coaster with some awesome tunes! 9) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Absolute classic and my very first roller coaster! 10) Soarin' around the World - Very unique and immersive, I personally like the new film! Honorable Mentions: Splash Mountain, Mission Space, Haunted Mansion and Matterhorn
A few of my favorites (not necessarily in order) TTA Peoplemover Haunted Mansion (and Phantom Manor) Tower of Terror (Florida version) Rock & Roller Coaster (Florida version) Soarin' (original version) Space Mountain (I would give the California version the edge due to the onboard soundtrack, followed by the Florida version. The Paris version was just a head-banger) The Monorail (WDW system, at least when it's not packed like sardines) Buzz LIghtyear's Space Ranger Spin (I enjoy shooting rides. California and Paris were better than the Florida version, though I do have a spot for Take Flight as it was called when I first rode) The Disneyland/Disney World Railroad Jungle Cruise (though I've only ridden the Florida version)
My favorite ride is The Haunted Mansion. Expedition Everest and Dinosaur go back and forth for 2nd and 3rd. The People Mover is 4th. Id have to say Carousel Of Progress would round out my top 5!!!
I honestly thought that Mr. Toads Wild Ride was about getting drunk, crashing your car, going to prison, and going to the underworld. Well that’s at least what I heard from other people on the internet.
I definitely remember getting stuck on that slanted part of the track..........it was really uncomfortable and I kept sliding on the seat and crushing the kids!! Mom
My top 5: Rock N Rollin Roller Coaster Tower of Terror The Haunted Mansion Pirates of the Carribean The Muppets 3D Who Wants to be a Millionaire was a fave too until they removed it. 😢 My moms favorite rides are the haunted mansion and Mr. Toads...she was so disappointed when they removed it. I've never been to California to compare the two parks so all if these are WDW.
I'd have probably said Big Thunder Mountain because it's my favorite coaster and the first one i rode and liked, Maelstrom because of how unique it was, and the Haunted mansion because it was an amazing atmosphere, since i go to WDW, and with pirates i never really got that the change was from being PC, more trying to meld it with the movies since I think the new scene fits better with those, and it fits the whole "Pirates" thing well enough
+RedLighting256 Animation there have been 3 major changes to pirates. The first was a PC one, the most notable part changing the women to chase the pirates instead of vice versa. It was years later they added in the movie parts. And the moat recent one they are doing now is also a PC one.
yeah, for the first one i do agree that it was poorly handled, but i think the second is still pirate enough compared to that, so i'm more impartial to it
SirWillow my favorite Disney rides are Journey into imagination with Figment Pirates of the Carribian Space Mountain Test Track Carousel of Progress Buzz Lightyear ride Frozen ever after Disney has really amazing rides
In order from 1-10 in WDW only 1. Rock n Roller Coaster Featuring Aerosmith 2. Carousel of Progress 3. Jungle Cruise 4. Splash Mountain 5. Peter Pans flight 6. It’s a small world 7. Pirates of the Caribbean 8. The Peoplemover in Tomorrowland 9. 7 Dwarfs Mine Train 10. Haunted Mansion (I love all the rides at WDW except Primeval Whirl, that ride hurts) The first time I ever went on Rock n Roller Coaster I didn’t know what to expect so once it took off I stared crying and I need a tissue really bad. I yelled “Mom I need a tissue” and she obviously couldn’t get me one. So I had to hold everything coming out of my nose. Walk This Way was playing and now it’s my moms ringtone. Then the next year I rode it I think a total of 12 times. Sorry for the long post.
My favs at every park are: Magic Kingdom- Space and thunder mountain Animal Kingdom:Avatar flight of passage and expedition Everest Epcot:Soarin and test track Hollywood Studios: Star Tours and Toy story mania
I was also hesitant about the new Guardians makeover for Tower of Terror. I must say, it is amazing! It's a totally different feel, and a lot more welcoming to a lot of audiences! I'd say Guardians comes close, if not matches the amount of fun I had on Tower of Terror. I hope you get a chance to ride it!
10 Peter Pan 9 big thunder mountain 8 Festival of the lion king (not a ride but...) 7 tower of terror 6 space mountain 5 Aerosmith 4 expedition Everest 3 haunted mansion 2 toy story mania (a family favourite) 1 soarin Honourable mention to the late and great sum of all thrills-I used to have so much fun with that (400ft top hat drop, corkscrew, figure eight loopy thing, double loop, all at maximum speed-I still have the cards even though they’re useless now)
I've never been to World, so mine are all Disneyland, and none are thrill rides. While I like thrill rides fine, I love the dark rides. 10. Small World 9. Winnie the Pooh 8. Little Mermaid 7. Rodger Rabbit 6. Pirates 5. Haunted Mansion 4. Sleeping Beauty walk through 3. Mr Toad 2. Peter Pan 1. Alice in Wonderland
My favorite attractions are the following: 1: Peter Pan, 2: It's a Small World, 3: Splash Mountain, 4: The Mattehorn, 5: Soarin' Around the world, 6: Little Mermaid: Arial's Undersea adventure, 7: Pirates of the Caribbean, 8: The Jungle Cruise, 9: Autopia, and 10: California Screamin'- those are my favorites as of right now.
Tower of Terror is the best! I'm going to be super mad if they do anything to the Florida one! (Also, ToT cast members, I think, have the best costume!)
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE MUPPETS 3D! I need to beg my family to go with me
BerrySparrowpaw love the Muppets!!
BerryPlays my personal favorite attraction at Hollywood Studios.
I absolutely love the Enchanted Tiki Room, it has so much retro Disney charm to it and it's relaxing as heck when you've been out walking in the heat for hours. Some of my other favorites are Splash Mountain, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur. You can probably guess what my two favorite parks are. :D
Love the Tiki Room. it was very hard to leave it off of the list
Love the Tiki Room! One of my all time favorites!
Star Tours and Soarin' are the BEST rides!!!! I geek out every time on Star Tours and Soarin...it makes me happy-cry.
You're wearing my t-shirt! I almost wore that one today but grabbed another one. Thanks for sharing your memories!
I really like Crush's Coaster in Disneyland Paris, it's one of those spin and drop rides but with actual solid themeing. Phantom Manor is also cool as well, and has nice twists on the haunted mansion, especially when you start going backwards and go underground and see coffins and skeletons.
I like the change where the woman chases the pirate. I've always liked the idea of inept villains, and it has more character than just some pirate chasing some lady.
Yay, love the list, and largely our lists are pretty darn close, I have always love love loved the storybook canals. and for a chuckle, were both former cast members, and the same age too, hehehehe
I am going to Disneyland for the first time ever !!with my 8 year old son this November . I don't know who is more excited me or my boy. But watching this video I am looking forward to the rides you mentioned.
LOL great video. While I agree with you about not taking pictures or video while riding most rides if you get stuck or have to evacuate all bets are off. LOL. Thanks again.
I agree they NEED to get the rest of the Muppet Show on DVD!! And Jim’s biography is AMAZING! Him and Walt Disney are my two visionary heroes.
I have only been to Disney World but some of my favorites in no specific order are Big Thunder Mountain which was my first ever roller coaster, Splash Mountain, Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safari, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mission Space, Test Track, and soarin'.

I've been going to DL for just over 45 years, it never once occurred to me to ride the StoryBook Canal boats at night. I'll have to try that sometime. I'll bet it looks great with the lights on inside the houses.
I always enjoy It's a Small World. Nice and peaceful. Plus it's cool to get a tiny glimpse of different cultures and their languages.
Small World is nightmare inducing for me!!! I just thinking about the ride stopping and all the animatronics coming to life and killing everyone in my boat...
I used to spend hours doing the classes at the animation academy over and over. It was fun learning how to draw characters and waiting for the next class allowed for fun interactions with the animators.
I also loved hanging out and watching the mini shows by the citizens of Hollywood.
Another favorite that I did 2 or 3 times was the greenhouse tour in the land. With the cast member discount it was super cheap and it was special to dfo with friends.

I have the exact same story about evacuating Splash Mountain. It was right as Magic Kingdom was closing and we had to walk backstage down some stairs. Still really cool lol
Tower of terror is especially extremely fun for me! I don't weigh much, so I practically float the whole time! It's a ticklish feeling!
My favorite ride at Disney World has to be Tower of Terror. I love the creepy stuff and that's certainly one of them. Haunted Mansion is a great close second! Big Thunder Mountain is always a must do when I'm there as well - it's a classic!
FINALLY someone who agrees with me about the change of pirates!
Was that golf course scene at CA Soaring at Dad Miller Golf Course here in Anaheim?
No, it was actually filmed in Camarillo, just a few miles from the beach.
Thank you sir willow!!!
By far, Mission: Space (Orange Group) at Epcot is my all time favorite. It's unbelievably thrilling, and I'm absolutely fascinated with the mechanics of the ride.
Sadly Muppets ride scarred me for life. I remember the Muppet Ride as a five year old and the whole 3D (at the time) movie terrified me and it took me years and years to get over my fear of 3D rides.

3. Snow White Mine Train! Okay, I do not know the whole name of the ride, but that's not important. This also is fun and amazing in its own right. This, like Test Track, uses great cue entertainment through tangible interaction.

I loved test track
This may be unique to me and my situation, but I'm sure many folks have had the same experience. #1 ride for me, right now, bar none ... It's a Small World. Why? I took my daughter on the ride about a few weeks ago for her 1st birthday. The look on her face ... it melted my heart.

I love your channel and updates! +1 subscriber!!
Awesome Choices SIR!
Mr. Toad's would definitely make my list as well! And the Matterhorn was definitely an E ticket! (And I also saw the original Star Wars at a drive-in when it came out!)
Great list! Makes me want to go to DL even more! Here's mine.
1. Peoplemover
2. Great Movie Ride (RIP)
3. Haunted Mansion
4. It's a Small World
5. Peter Pan's Flight
6. Carousel of Progress
7. Tiki Room
8. The Little Mermaid rid
9. Maelstrom (RIP)
10. Soarin'
For a while at Disneyland, if you went on the Storybook Canal Boats sometime between morning and noon, a character would join you on the boats! Most of the time it was characters like Alice, The Mad Hatter, and Peter Pan. They’d mess around with the guests and steal the mic just to goof off. Best time to go on. Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is a great ride! You still have to walk across the hall to get to the car, but the drops are much more frequent. The songs and the story are fun too. Our Tower was too small to move like the one in Florida. Just up and down motions every once in a while. Most of the people I talk to agree that it was best to change our Tower to fit something that suited the building a little more since it couldn’t move across rooms like the one in Florida. Plus the Halloween nighttime edition has cool effects and really just has fun dropping you from high heights with no stopping. Nice video, as usual!
Subscribers:25k Subscribers worth:2M. This an awesome channel!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!😍😍😍
Wow you've only been evacuated from one ride!? That's crazy :O. I've been evacuated from Space Mountain, 7 Dwarves, Little Mermaid and maybe a few more too. That's in only six trips to Disney too lol. Once I move down to Florida to work in Disney hopefully I'll pick up some more. I'm sooo jealous about you being evacuated from Splash Mountain (My personal favorite ride)!!
I love the Muppet Vision show too!! Not often do I meet someone else that likes Muppet Vision 3D
All the attractions you chose are great, but Carousel of Progress though? :O
I'm just kidding, I'm sure you've got a very respectable opinion about it
I know- hard to believe in all of my years riding things all over the place I've only had a couple of evacs anywhere. And that's the only one at a Disney park.
It was hard to narrow it down to 10, as there are so many great attractions. Carousel of Progress was one that we would do almost every trip, so certainly one that all of us enjoyed. it's a great big beautiful tomorrow...
Can you maybe do a video about some of the most magical moments you saw between kids and princesses? I love these disney vids btw
i enjoyed soarin' over california when disney world's epcot did it but i'm loving the new one. i rode the ride on my last trip with the new film installed, so glad disney world finally has its very own version : )
Haunted Mansion is one of my favorites. The first time I went to Disney, I was about five years old and terrified of it. My mom dragged me on, saying I'd have fun, and she was right. It's an excellent attraction.
My favorite ride at wdw was the swan boats, they took it out by the 1980's but you can still see the tracks below the castle drawbridge.
I finally went on ToT in June. I loved it. I avoided it for the longest time. Last week I got my husband to go on it. He was surprised that it wasn't worse than expected.
My favorite is the new Flights of Passage. It is AMAZING. After that I'd say space mountain. It's a classic that many don't like, but that I adore.
I've only been to Disneyland and DCA. My favorites are Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, CA Screamin', Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise (the jokes are the best!) and finally, Guardians of the Galaxy (it has such a party feel, everyone is excited to be there and really get into it.)
Tower of Terror is definitely in my top ten as well. the whole twilight zone theme is what makes it so enjoyable, not just the drop. It's Disney at its best. For this same reason I love Everest in Animal Kingdom.
I think it would have been a trip before 84. I remember going in elementary school around the same time my family actually won a trip to Disneyland when I was in grade 3. I remember we had tickets to get into the park at that point
I understand it's not in your "top 10" but what is your view on the haunted mansion? I love that ride, would definitely have it in my top 3.
I enjoy Haunted Mansion. My wife and daughter don't. it's a great ride with some very neat effects. it's a good example of why picking just 10 is very hard.
Have you ever been to Disneyland Paris? I'm loving your videos, I'm glad I discovered your channel !
Have you done a video about Club 33?
No, because I've never been there.
Just wondering if youve been to any theme parks in england . Its where i live and my faviroite theme park , thorpe park ,is here
Never been to Europe, so sadly the answer is no.
I am your age and one of my fav's is The Tomorrowland People Mover. So relaxing. I nice way to cool off and rest up a bit.
I can only imagine how mad you are about the upcoming pirates changes. I'm right there with you, man.
I cannot possible choose a fav, but i do love all the rides in Cars Land and Peter Pan and the Canal Boats in DLand.
that was a lot of fun
Lucky!! I've always wanted to be evacuated from Splash Mountain its my favorite attraction of all time. I bet if it ever happened I'd disappear and become one with the mountain😂😂. My top 10 probably always changing but in no particular order for now it stands at:
10: The Grand Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros
9: Tower of Terror
8: Mr Toads Wild Ride
7: Space Mountain
6: Country Bear Jamboree
5: Spaceship Earth
4: Dinosaur
3: Pirates of the Caribbean
2: Haunted Mansion (interchangeable with pirates)
1: Splash Mountain
Probably forgetting a ton others like Roger Rabbit, Everest, The Tiki Room And Carousel of Progress just miss the list.
Mr toads OMG I miss the mr toad lol 😂 the crazy car ride YAS so much fun
My favorite ride is kinda silly but its the monorail. Just so many memories of getting to the park with my mom , dad ,and sister and knowing that this ride is the first and last ride the whole family Will ride together and is the ride that everyone can and will ride...
But at Busch Gardens the Scorpio is tops for me it may be small but its fast goes upside down and when I was younger It was the only ride I was tall enough to ride lol..
One thing I have to say, but one of my favorite attractions is the new frozen sing along at hollywood studios, the show is funny, amazing, right next to it, you can meet olaf, I did meet olaf and I joked with him saying kind of weird to see a snowman during the summer heat, well at least he's no frosty the snowman where you melt right when you go inside a garden house
No Haunted Mansion?!?! Shots fired!
LOL- with all of the great attractions, something had to be cut. I like Mansion, but with all of the choices it didn't make the top 10. :-/
I love all the rides, especially the coasters, but these are the TEN that I must do every single time I visit: 10) Indiana Jones, 9) Alice in Wonderland, 8) Mr. Toad, 7) Tiki Room, 6) Snow White, 5) Dumbo, 5) Peter Pan, 4)Star Tours , 3) Haunted Mansion, 2) Pirates of Caribbean, and the first ride I ever rode when I was 6 years old: 1) the Teacups.
I'd agree with your opinions on the changes to Pirates if they hadn't already changed it so much. Originally it was a bit darker and more realistic and was intended as a moral tale that clearly showed that no good came of piracy, but with the addition of Jack Sparrow and such all that went out the window. Now that it ends with Jack surrounded by treasure, piracy is shown as more fun and rewarding, so I think removing other problematic elements makes sense.
Completely agree on Storybook Land Canal Boats, though. It and Casey Jr. are tragically underrated and the Storybook Land miniatures are the best part of the park in my opinion.
There's a video on UA-cam of the Orlando one being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm. Have you ever seen that happen when working at Disney?
+rushs11 Florida is the lightning capital of the world. I've seen lots of things in Florida get hit by lightning
Personally, I love Mr. Toad and Matterhorn, but I am oddly really fond of Roger Rabitt's CarToon Spin. I also was also evacuated from Splash Mountain in Disneyland, just before the second lift hill. I walked behind the black curtain...
I agree with a lot on this list, but the storybook one really surprised me haha
I LOVED Mission Space!!! It is the closest I will ever come to being an astronaut for NASA!!!
Soarin over CA is great!! I wish that they refilmed the CA version in higher quality rather than switching to over the world.
I was evacuated on Alice when I was younger.
I’m disappointed that the new Star Tours doesn’t change the story anymore...
Muppets scarred my sister for life haha. I don’t know why, she was too young haha.
I’m surprised carousel of progress didn’t make the list!
Great countdown otherwise! Keep up the great work!
trust me, it was very hard picking only 10
Which Disney version of Tower of Terror did you prefer?
Florida
My favorite ride is space mountain!
woooooooooooooooooooooo
Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it still has the longest line!
I've only visited Disneyland Paris / Studios Park. So my top 10 rides will be:
1: Big Thunder Mountain
2: Star Tours
3: Buzz Lightyear Lasergame
4: Moteurs Action (stunt show with bikes and cars) in Studio park
5: Armageddon (Walkthrough) Studios park
6: Studio Tram tour
7: Phantom Manor (Haunted mansion)
8: Mad Hatter's tea cups
9: Pirates ride
10: Thunder Mesa riverboat
Close choice between the Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. Both have amazing queues that really transport you into their worlds. But I think Haunted Mansion edges Indiana out with the awesome stretching room and iconic ghost host.
Sir willow is it true they removed tower of terror in place of guardians of the galaxy ride. I agree with ur number one i loved it
+Fernando Gallegos only in Dianeyland
SirWillow so the one at California Adventure is still there?
Fernando Gallegos No, he meant the one in California Adventure was changed. The one in Disney World at Hollywood Studios is still Tower of Terror. One was doing better than the other when it came to visitors, and the California Adventure Tower was much smaller. Disney noted it was in the way of where they wanted to start building up a Marvel theme in California Adventure and decided to change it.
Fernando Gallegos The one in Disney California Adventure is now Guardians of the Galaxy themed. The one in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida is still the original version.
With Mr Toads Wild Ride, you can also see him in a part of The Many Adventures of Whinnie the Pooh.
my 6 foot 10 inch cousin used to run the matterhorn. you should have seen him in lederhosen lol
My favorite ride is the World versions of Tower of Terror and Haunted Mansion. Hard to pick a favorite.
I got evacuated from "Journey to Inner Space" at Disneyland. It was a ride that you set in and road around in chairs like the Haunted House, and get "shrunk to the size of atom".
It was replaced by Star Tours.
And you could actually see the old "shrinking gun" in the original Star Tours as well. I remember Journey to Inner Space from my childhood.
SirWillow I never realized the srink gun was in the original star tours. I was a teenager (Living about 30 minutes from Anaheim) when they converted the ride, and I was sad. I was a book/science nerd, son I loved Journey to Inner Space.
My Top 10 Would Look Like This!
1) Space Mountain (Disneyland) - Absolute favorite, always will be!
2) Expedition Everest - Awesome ride with some incredible storytelling and themeing
3) California Screamin' - Everything you want for a roller coaster!
4) Tower of Terror (WDW) - Not just a drop ride, but an absolutely incredible experience!
5) Test Track - Very underrated thrill ride that is very fun and interactive
6) Indiana Jones Adventure - Probably the best themed ride at any Disney theme park and an incredible experience!
7) Avatar Flight of Passage - Extremely immersive and breathtaking! Absolute must-do!
8) Rock n Roller Coaster - Extremely fun roller coaster with some awesome tunes!
9) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Absolute classic and my very first roller coaster!
10) Soarin' around the World - Very unique and immersive, I personally like the new film!
Honorable Mentions: Splash Mountain, Mission Space, Haunted Mansion and Matterhorn
A few of my favorites (not necessarily in order)
TTA Peoplemover
Haunted Mansion (and Phantom Manor)
Tower of Terror (Florida version)
Rock & Roller Coaster (Florida version)
Soarin' (original version)
Space Mountain (I would give the California version the edge due to the onboard soundtrack, followed by the Florida version. The Paris version was just a head-banger)
The Monorail (WDW system, at least when it's not packed like sardines)
Buzz LIghtyear's Space Ranger Spin (I enjoy shooting rides. California and Paris were better than the Florida version, though I do have a spot for Take Flight as it was called when I first rode)
The Disneyland/Disney World Railroad
Jungle Cruise (though I've only ridden the Florida version)
My favorite ride is The Haunted Mansion. Expedition Everest and Dinosaur go back and forth for 2nd and 3rd. The People Mover is 4th. Id have to say Carousel Of Progress would round out my top 5!!!
I honestly thought that Mr. Toads Wild Ride was about getting drunk, crashing your car, going to prison, and going to the underworld. Well that’s at least what I heard from other people on the internet.
1. Steal a car
1. Drive like a goddamn maniac
3. Get arrested
4. Go to court
5. Get hit by train
6. Go to hell
man. 1910 times where *scary*
I definitely remember getting stuck on that slanted part of the track..........it was really uncomfortable and I kept sliding on the seat and crushing the kids!! Mom
My top 5:
Rock N Rollin Roller Coaster
Tower of Terror
The Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Carribean
The Muppets 3D
Who Wants to be a Millionaire was a fave too until they removed it. 😢
My moms favorite rides are the haunted mansion and Mr. Toads...she was so disappointed when they removed it.
I've never been to California to compare the two parks so all if these are WDW.
I'd have probably said Big Thunder Mountain because it's my favorite coaster and the first one i rode and liked, Maelstrom because of how unique it was, and the Haunted mansion because it was an amazing atmosphere, since i go to WDW,
and with pirates i never really got that the change was from being PC, more trying to meld it with the movies since I think the new scene fits better with those, and it fits the whole "Pirates" thing well enough
+RedLighting256 Animation there have been 3 major changes to pirates. The first was a PC one, the most notable part changing the women to chase the pirates instead of vice versa. It was years later they added in the movie parts. And the moat recent one they are doing now is also a PC one.
yeah, for the first one i do agree that it was poorly handled, but i think the second is still pirate enough compared to that, so i'm more impartial to it
And I loved Bear Country Jamboree, America Sings, and the People Mover! :,-(
It's hard for me to narrow down all the rides from all parks my favorite at magic Kingdom is pirates or haunted mansion
SirWillow my favorite Disney rides are Journey into imagination with Figment Pirates of the Carribian Space Mountain Test Track Carousel of Progress Buzz Lightyear ride Frozen ever after Disney has really amazing rides
In order from 1-10 in WDW only
1. Rock n Roller Coaster Featuring Aerosmith
2. Carousel of Progress
3. Jungle Cruise
4. Splash Mountain
5. Peter Pans flight
6. It’s a small world
7. Pirates of the Caribbean
8. The Peoplemover in Tomorrowland
9. 7 Dwarfs Mine Train
10. Haunted Mansion
(I love all the rides at WDW except Primeval Whirl, that ride hurts)
The first time I ever went on Rock n Roller Coaster I didn’t know what to expect so once it took off I stared crying and I need a tissue really bad. I yelled “Mom I need a tissue” and she obviously couldn’t get me one. So I had to hold everything coming out of my nose. Walk This Way was playing and now it’s my moms ringtone. Then the next year I rode it I think a total of 12 times. Sorry for the long post.
I'm afraid of heights and a few years ago, my whole family got suck on Soarin at Disney World😨
Journey into imagination with fIgment
My favorite ride is rockin roller roller coaster
did you Like the great movie ride it had its actors who didn't care but the cowboys was awesome
I'm going to miss the great movie ride. That was one my whole family enjoyed riding together.
My favs at every park are: Magic Kingdom- Space and thunder mountain Animal Kingdom:Avatar flight of passage and expedition Everest Epcot:Soarin and test track Hollywood Studios: Star Tours and Toy story mania
5:45 lol you and your fanny pack
The Walt Disney World Railroad, steamboat and Country Bear Jamboree
There are a lot of people who like Storybook Land. And to think Walt thought it would only be temporary.
I was also hesitant about the new Guardians makeover for Tower of Terror. I must say, it is amazing! It's a totally different feel, and a lot more welcoming to a lot of audiences! I'd say Guardians comes close, if not matches the amount of fun I had on Tower of Terror. I hope you get a chance to ride it!
What are some of your favorites that are no longer a ride at disney world. Mine was Horizons
+ItsTheDan there aren't many since my first visit to So at Disney World wasn't until 2006 which wasn't that long ago.
maybe I will get to go to one of the Disney parks before I die
good video
I adore the Carousel of Progress.
10 Peter Pan
9 big thunder mountain
8 Festival of the lion king (not a ride but...)
7 tower of terror
6 space mountain
5 Aerosmith
4 expedition Everest
3 haunted mansion
2 toy story mania (a family favourite)
1 soarin
Honourable mention to the late and great sum of all thrills-I used to have so much fun with that (400ft top hat drop, corkscrew, figure eight loopy thing, double loop, all at maximum speed-I still have the cards even though they’re useless now)
mr. toad... the only ride where you end up in hell
Tower of Terror hands down. Though I don't like to ride it anymore. It's just nostalgia. Test Track is second.
I've never been to World, so mine are all Disneyland, and none are thrill rides. While I like thrill rides fine, I love the dark rides.
10. Small World
9. Winnie the Pooh
8. Little Mermaid
7. Rodger Rabbit
6. Pirates
5. Haunted Mansion
4. Sleeping Beauty walk through
3. Mr Toad
2. Peter Pan
1. Alice in Wonderland
My favorite attractions are the following: 1: Peter Pan, 2: It's a Small World, 3: Splash Mountain, 4: The Mattehorn, 5: Soarin' Around the world, 6: Little Mermaid: Arial's Undersea adventure, 7: Pirates of the Caribbean, 8: The Jungle Cruise, 9: Autopia, and 10: California Screamin'- those are my favorites as of right now.
Love your choices Blue Rose but have to jump in on It's a Small World which is very close to waterboarding...lol
has to be Areosmith Rollercoaster. i loved that one
I love coasters and the atmosphere. It's also another great ride there.
rock n' roller-coaster
Tower of Terror is the best! I'm going to be super mad if they do anything to the Florida one! (Also, ToT cast members, I think, have the best costume!)
I'm with you on that.
