Which is THE most popular ride at WDW?
I read on another thread that TSM is THE most popular ride at WDW. Is it?
Edited to add: Not YOUR favorite but most POPULAR. Further explantion of "popular" on post #20

Asking opinions in a poll won't necessarily tell you the accurate answer.
(But, it likely will yield the correct answer, anyway.) There IS a most-popular attraction, based on actual statistics. Let's watch and see. |

OK...I'll bite...I voted for TSM. It's not my favorite ride but it's definately the most popular.

Right now I would say TSM, but historically I would say Space Mountain.

I know more people who say that Soarin' is their favorite than any other ride, so I voted accordingly. My favorite ride is Space Mountain, with TSM a close second. I think that Space Mountain will win this poll if offered again next year (after the refurb)...

I voted "other" (and I'm the first!). TSM may be the most attended right now, and I know many, many folks love their Soarin', but HM gets my vote every time.

I believe that TSM is the most popular ride at the moment. It may not be the best ride or everyone's favorite ride, but based on the number of guest that go through that ride on a given day, coupled with typical wait times and how quickly the fastpasses dissapear, I think that it can be considered the most popular ride of the moment. I would say Soarin' would be second.

Does total number of guests per day matter? Or is that just a matter of park hours, load rate, etc? Is it number of repeat riders? It it the length of the standby line (based on how long people are willing to stand there to ride it)? Is it the ride that guests skip the least? Popularity IS an opinion. However, the poll must as the question, "Which attraction do YOU like most?" and not "Which attraction do you THINK is the most popular?"

Define "most popular". The attraction with the longest line? The attraction that accommodates the most riders?
TSM is a slow loader, ~16 people per minute so the line is consistently over 70 minutes all day long. RnRC loads faster than TSM and it also has a normal stand-by of about 70 minutes most of the day. Indiana Jones accommodates thousands of people at a time many times a day so it might have more total people than either of those but I don't know the actual numbers. |

I would ride Space Mountain 10 times or more per day at MK if the queue wasn't so long. It is my favorite ride at MK, by a long shot. But, alas, the queue lengths chase me and my family away...  Our favorite at DHS is TSM, but we usually only get to ride it two or three times per visit to the park. We ride RnRc 5 or more times because of the single rider line. Things like this might skew purely statistical models... |

I also voted TSM simply based on the lines and how quickly the FP run out. It's in the top three of my favorite rides, but not necessarily my very favorite.
