Whats you and your families top 3 Disney rides?

[Melbourne5]

Hi all

After some interesting items that came up in the thread about your favorite disney souvenir i thought I might again put out the question....

What's your families top 3 rides at Disney and why?

I tried and came up with a short list of 10 so it's not as easy as it seems.

For the Melbourne 5

3. Matterhorn - our first ever Disney ride back in 2009 and steeped in Disney history. I understand it's coming out of a 4mth refit soon.

2. Everest expedition - a tough one given all the magic at wdw but our favorite ride at WDW . All of us got to go on including DS3. The theming and the ride itself is great

1. Splash mountain - an oldy but a goody. Despite being stuck on it for over an hour at the MNSSHP in WDW in 2010 it's been voted no1 by the melb 5. Why? It's wet, scary drop and lots of music and scenery. We all reckon it's also the ride we have done the most in our 3 trips across WDW and DLR.

I await this esteemed groups top 3

Just 3? From all the Disney parks?? That's crazy talk...

OK, I'll give it a go, but there's a good chance I'm going to change my mind several times after posting...

1. California Screamin' - It's just so much fun. I get tingles when I watch it on YouTube - the voice at the start does it every time!

2. Indiana Jones - My family and I went on this ride back when it first opened. It was the first time we'd been on a ride where it seemed like they'd put just as much if not more effort into the queue.

3. Buzz Lightyear/ Toy Story Mania - It's a toss up between the 2, I'm very competitive, so naturally this is so much fun to challenge someone. I've only ridden TSM once, so it is probably better the Buzz, but I think I need to ride it a few more times to say for sure

Toy Story Mania

Tea Cups (DS's favourite, he loves trying to make me sick from spinning )

Soarin

I have to say it was hard choosing three!

 

[emum]

That's very difficult for a family of 6.....

Unanimous #1is California Screamin'
#2is probably Indiana Jones
#3 is Test Track and Tower of Terror


Special shout out to Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean

Cheers,
Sally

 

[BecBennett]

Oh my god, I've changed my mind already!!

 

[Caroline NZ]

There are some rides that 3 of us like, but the youngest is not so keen on!.

So here are 3 that the family enjoy together:
1.Big Thunder Mountain
2.Soarin
3.Haunted Mansion

(pssssss, 3 of us really love California Screamin & TOT as well)

 

[Travel Mum]

Hmm, this is hard to narrow down!

1) The perennial favourite of cute, calm rides for us is Peter Pan

2) Certainly our favourite family thrill ride is Test Track Really wish this was at DL or DCA as, in reality, thats all I have hope of getting back to one day.

3) Several ties: Haunted Mansion, Toy Story Mania, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder, Pirates of the Caribbean at DL, Expedition Everest (however, although I love the theming on it, I don't enjoy the ride because sadly it makes my neck uncomfortable - the rest of the family rode it heaps though)

Gosh, my list could go on and on.....

Oh what a lovely memory thread

Karen, this actually made me shudder. What do you mean by snuggle wuggle time? Ewwwwww . I will never ride the transit authority the same again.

 

[WAMUMOF4]

I will ask my family later going to be fun getting them to agree on 3

Mine would be
Tea cups
Dumbo
Buzzlightyear/TSM

Should i admit that i riding Dumbo and the tea cups for the first time as it was my childhood dream and DH's to do it and to be able to take our kids was

 

[BecBennett]

I will never ride the transit authority the same again.

I want to vote again, but now I can't narrow it down to 3...

[alicia1506]

we were totally fraidy cats on our first trip, so we barely rode any rides...

our favourites...

the teacups
star tours - omg, so much goodness!!
the main street vehicles

this trip we plan on hitting every ride in the park -- every single one of them and we'll do a thorough review...

 

[australiankaren]

And the trip review will only be after your 6 months of compulsory confined bed rest in a nice sanatorium with pretty flowers and unchirpy birdies....

are you crazy...every ride????And then a report on every ride....

ooooooooh, i really want to see how this pans out (where's my damn stirring smillie thingy...)

there it is

 

[Mum from oz]

I'm not a thrill junkie at all.
My favourites were TSM, Test Track and BTMR.
DP would be California Screamin', Space Mountain and TSM
DS (5) would be Peter Pan, TSM and Roger Rabbit in Disneyland.
DD (4) is the carousel, teacups and the Barnstormer in Disneyland.
