My absolute favorite is Splash Mountain... when the weather is right!!
Every time I ride it, I seem to have the time of my life :rotfl:
My next has got to be Tower of Terror! Never know about that one!

Finding Nemo show!

I'd say the characters...that's what people most look forward to (myself included). For rides, though, I'd have to go with Everest/Rockin' Roller Coaster

For working or riding? For riding it would have to be Splash Mountain or EE

But for working, it would have to be GMR or JC.

My friends always make fun of me for this but I Love the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. I always sneak a sweet cream cheese pretzel on and just relax! Other than that my favorite attraction is Dinosaur. No matter how many times we ride it we always leave laughing and smiling. Plus the whole family can go on so that makes it even better!

No way!!! I also love the TTA! It's up there as one of my favorite rides. I love how relaxing it is when the weather is nice and how u get to see all the behinds the scene stuff.... oh and the space mountain music! :thumbsup2

Haha, at first I saw JC and I thought of that scene in "Meet the Parents" where Owen Wilson refers to Jesus as "JC". So that was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

haha thats so funny cuz i though of the same thing! were Owen Wilson is showing everyone the alter thing that he had carved and talked about how "JC" was a carpenter. haha i wonder what JC is though. I have yet to even go to the animal kingdom and ride EE! i cant wait... i guess ill ride it a ton this summer and fall if i get into the program. I havn't been to Epcot and Hollywood studios in about 12 years so i cant wait to ride all the new stuff there and i have never been to the animal kingdom so i guess im in for a treat!

I have NOT been to Disneyworld... But my favorite at Disneyland is Space Mountain.. without a doubt. It was my first roller coaster ever! But! Since they opened up the California Adventure... The California Screamin' rollercoaster is AMAZING. By far the best rollercoaster I have ever been on.

Animal Kingdom is alright, it all depends on the person really. I'm more of a rides guy myself so Animal Kingdom didn't do too much for me. Everest is awesome though, as is Dinosaur. MGM is still awesome, I love the art deco look of the park, the way it's designed you really feel as though you're in Hollywood, and for my money I'd say it has the best attractions. Epcot is cool, if you really take your time in Epcot there is a ton to see. They've built all the parks up enough that there is a ton to do though, so I never find it boring down there.

The Great Movie Ride- I love this ride!!

Splash Mountain!!

I don't think I could ever get tired of the Lion King show in DAK. By far, my fav show!

As far as rides go, I love Soarin and Tower of Terror. Another of my top rides is the Buzz Lightyear thing in Tomorrowland! I'm terrible at it lol, but it's so much fun!

02-18-2008, 11:11 PM

The Great Movie Ride- I love this ride!!

Easily one of my favorites, I live for the end montage, it's edited together beautifully and is really really moving. My biggest fear with this ride is the Alien part will eventually be taken out due to little kids getting scared, when I was there this past summer I noticed they pump the scene full of fog so it hides the alien a little more. "Alien" was such a benchmark film in sci fi/horror it really is a masterpiece and deserves to keep its slot on the ride.

too bad I haven't seen it since the rehab. Hopefully this summer I will.

Its really worth seeing, even standing in line!!!! They made some great improvements, went on weeks after rehab in Aug. 2007!!!! Go visit, you might actually see me working their for Fall 2008 CP program, if they give my preference and i'm accepted hopefully LOL:rotfl:

It was closed when I was there unfortunately :( That's ok I'll see it when I go in May. While we're on the subject of rides, I can't believe they took Jeremy Irons narration out of Spaceship Earth, I mean the man has one of the coolest voices in history.

What I would love to see be made is a Pirates of the Caribbean thrill ride. I think the old Pirates ride should remain intact, but they should build a new one that's a thrill ride, considering the film's are like epic action/adventure films.

Anyone just love the hall of presidents? hahaha I think everytime I go in there I fall asleep. I don't even mean to do that, it just sort if happens. lol

but my favorites have to be the ellen ride and mickey's phillar magic.

The last time I was in the Hall of Presidents was in like 1995, I never found it interesting as a kid, and I know I probably wouldn't find it too interesting now. Philharmagic I wanted to see when we were the this past June, but never got enough time too.

Emma Emma Emily

phillar magic is amazing lol it is exactly how fantasia was supposed to be presented. Minus the 3d part. But you def need to see it when you go down next time.

Philhar is amazing! It is my favorite 3-D show.

I also love AA at Epcot. It really is quite interesting.

Have to agree, amazing 3D show!!!! Forgot about Soarin, great technology!!! Such a great ride, wish the waiting area was better though ( Can be quite boring waiting in line)

HM was closed when I was there too. I was sad.

But the ride I miss that was like my fav is Alien Encounter. haha. Thats been gone for awhile, but I still like it & I miss it.

I do like EE, but the waiting in line stinks. ... pht, I like about everything. haha. Im not even gonna list. :rotfl:

Emma Emma Emily

02-25-2008, 09:24 AM

ooohh space ship earth.... i have a soft spot for that one. My youngest nephew ethan was having a temper tantrum and so i grabbed him and took him on the ride and as soon as that voice came on and it got dark, he forgot that everyone else had gone on a ride he was too little for.

is the "rehabbed" Haunted Mansion really going to be that much different?! what changes have they made?! also would anyone recommend doing the Jungle Cruise during CP??? i was asked if i would enjoy doing that during my interview... i didnt know if that means they r actually thinking about giving me that job.

oh and also... is there a phone number i could call and let them know if i have changed my mind on my number one choice for jobs... i would love to Attractions (Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, and/or Jungle Cruise) r theres jobs hard to get?!

p.s. sorry for all the questions

They have made various improvements to the HM, even added the new bride scene, also mademe lota is now floating in the air instead of sitting on a table!!! The audio has improved throughout the attraction, along with the stretching room, making the ghost host seem as if he is walking around you now!!!
