If FP's were not an option, what ride at each park would you go on first?

[troyseyfert]

Hey everyone...

This I feel would be a fun thread, but you have to do it in the mindset of "What If"

Putting all strategies and fastpasses aside, if you were to start creating a tradition of what ride in each park you would want to go on first, what would it be?

For me:

MK - Splash Mountain
Epcot - Spaceship Earth (front of the park...keeps you in the spirit)
DHS - The Great Movie Ride (for me, this is THE forefront of what DHS is about)
AK - Kilimanjaro Safaris

Again, in case you don't understand...you can see above that for DHS, I could have put "Toy Story Mania" because of the theme park strategies, but if I were to put those all aside, I would most definitely want to go on the Great Movie Ride first thing!

Hope you all have fun with this!

This is fun!

MK- have to agree with Splash Mountain.. it's a classic!
EPCOT- Soarin'.. its not exactly a classic but I always get off it feeling happy
DS- ToT! My favorite ride! Awesome details
AK- Kilamanjaro Safari.. good chance to see animals bright and early!

MK: Haunted Mansion
Epcot: Maelstrom
DHS: ToT (If only for the music and atmosphere when you're in line...I can't get enough of it)
AK: Safari

Fun. I will play, too.

MK- Haunted Mansion!
EPCOT- Soarin'...love, love, love this ride!
DS- Tower of Terror
AK- Kilamanjaro Safari..although our trip in May will be our first time riding Mount Everest, so this one could change

Interesting question!

MK: Space Mountain
EP: Soarin' (me), M:S (DH)
AK: Everest
DHS: ToT

I just realized that I read the topic and misunderstood it after better reading your post. You weren't asking what our strategy would be if we didn't have FP? Instead it seems you were speaking more from a "tradition" stand point; what would be your sentimental first choice? If that's true, mine has to change to:

MK: HM
EP: SE (me), M:S (DH)
AK: Everest
DHS: ToT

MK: Thunder Mountain
Epcot: Soarin
AK: EE
HS: Buzz Lightyear

 

[justskip70003]

MK : space mountain
EPCOT : spaceship earth
DHS: tower of terror
AK: kali

Yes...this one is more about the sentimental choice, putting all strategies aside. Now don't get me wrong....some people still might want to go to the big rides, but I feel lots of times, there are some rides that we would rather go on first just so that we can get into the Disney spirit!

According to what I am reading I would have to do:

Only because the others look like they are going to be so busy...

When I read through the list, my reaction was "wait...what??". That was funny.
