THE BEST - because it's one of the longest, making the wait in line worthwhile - Splash Mountain.
On that scale, Dumbo is THE WORST - a 90 minute wait for a 90 second ride - but unfortunately it's an obligation of parenthood to take kids on it. |

Space Mountain was the coolest for me. Rollercoaster in the dark? I'm there. And Tower of Terror was cool too.
The Pirates ride broke down and we were stuck in a boat in the middle of a cavern for 20 minutes while all the puppets sang "yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me" over and over again. That was in '94 and I had repressed the memory until I saw the first movie which opened with that song. |

Splash Mountain is my fav. We were this close to getting on one time and they had to close it due to the rain, but I was not leaving so we waited for like 3
hours until it reopened. I really enjoy all the mountains, though the Matterhorn is kinda ghetto. Everest rocks too.
Country Bears suck. The show itself is retarded, but the potential refuge that you seek from the heat - i.e. comfy seats and air conditioning is nowhere to be found! The seats are like church pews and they crank it up to about 85 in there. |

Is the Matterhorn still there? I just realized I don't remember seeing it when we were there in April. Space Mountain is so over-rated, I was so incredibly
disappointed by it when I was in HS. I enjoyed the Tower of Terror, but it was damn short. And I didn't get to go on the Himalaya Yeti roller coaster
because no one else wanted to go on it. My daughter loved Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but I suspect that was partly due to the fact that we got to go on two
circuits every rime due to my crippledness.
And fuck that Polynesian Resort hotel. You may not know this, but they hate cripples. |

And fuck that Polynesian Resort hotel. You may not know this, but they hate cripples. Disney is all about perfection so DUH. Everyone hates cripples! I think the thing that I found funniest about Disney was how they cast their staff as if they were actors playing a part and had to fit a certain type. Gift Shop employee? Young and perky. Give the guided tour on some of the rides? Intelligent looking. March in the parade? Hot and buff. In charge of letting people on and off the monorail? Face so ugly not even your mother loved you. I swear it was like they had some sort of computer that hired based on a rigid Disney caste system and if you were ugly a buzzer lit and a trap door dropped you down into Monorail hell. Each one of those people was uglier then the next. I envision some sort of sorting hat of self esteem where the applicants are mumbling under their breath "Please not the monorail, anything but the monorail, oh please no! Not me! Please, anything but that!" |

Mr. Toads Wild Ride is still open (in Disneyland). We were there in August and it was the first ride we went on. Soaring over California in the California
Adventure Park is an awesome ride. Space Mountain is up there too.

I don't know about disneyworld, but disneyland is an overcrowded, filthy, under-maintained skankfest hellhole pile of fucking shit. Every time we get
visitors they want to go there. I'd rather hang out in a biker bar with no pants and a sign around my neck proclaiming me to be an e-ticket ride.

I don't follow links on message boards, but I will be very surprised if there were any accidents in the Enchanted Tiki Room.

Yeah Disney is family fun and all, but their "rides" suck... go to Cedar Point.

My 4 year old was alone for 2 minutes to go down the kodak canister slide and she slipped and knocked out her eyetooth and chipped her front tooth. She'll now be without an eyetooth for 3 years until her permanent tooth comes in. She has NEVER had a serious injury before.Hey, here's an idea! How 'bout you don't leave your 4 year old alone at a crowded theme park, you stupid bitch! Most of the things on that site look like they were written by some not very intelligent people. |

I've also always been very partial to the "Carousel of Progress". Decades later and I can still remember the original song they used, and I
remember the newer one too.
I've never cared for the Hall of Presidents other than it's a really great time to catch a nap. |

Space Mountain is my favourite, although California Screamin' and the water ride in California Adventure park are both really good too.
The Matterhorn is the most overrated piece of shit |

None of them! I live in Orlando and have been there a million times for kids b-day parties, all of kids friends b-day parties, school field trips, out of town relatives, etc. etc. The traffic is atrocious, bumper to bumper all damn day, no one can get anywhere within 2 hours with all the tourists and Disney employees.... ...awww hell, The Haunted Mansion. |

We must have gotten lucky. We had no traffic from the airport to the hotel, and we got to listen to some woman bitch at her kid the whole way there because they couldn't stay at the hotel she wanted to because she thought he would be too scared, and it was all his fault that their vacation wasn't going to be as good. The kid was about 5. |

I rode Space Mountain the week it opened. It was "too fast" and they slowed it down or something.
I like Its A Small World After all, Its A Small World After all,Its A Small World After all, Its a Small Small World. It's a world of laughter a world of ... |

Cast another vote for Cedar Point. I don't want crazy people in costumes harassing me when I just want to ride some rides.
