Best New Ride since 2002

[Hugpug]

I think Soarin is the best as just about everyone can enjoy this ride even those who have a fear of height somewhat. They need more rides that everyone can enjoy not the fast and bone jarring ones.

I voted for Soarin'. It is my all time favorite ride. I just love everything about it and my fav scene is the last one. I could go on this over and over again and I do have a fear of heights, but somehow this ride dosen't bother me.

I like all three that you mentioned specifically. But, I have to go with Soarin' as its my favorite in the parks period.

I voted for Soarin. I could ride it over and over and still feel the same "wow" feeling!

I vote for Soarin'. I love EE, but it's not really innovative. Yes, the Imagineers have taken the rollercoaster to a new and different level, but underneath it all, it's a rollercoaster.

Soarin' is a different animal. A totally new ride system had to be invented for it. In fact, Soarin' almost didn't happen. They had the concept, but had no idea how to load the people. Several ideas were discussed but none of them were practical. Then one Thanksgiving weekend, Imagineer Mark Sumner had an idea. He found his old Erector set in the attic, dusted it off, and several hours later had a prototype for the ride mechanism for Soarin'.

Soarin' is Imagineering at its finest.

BTW, did you know that Disney worked for over a year and half to get permission to film some of the sequences in Soarin'?

I voted for Everest and see that a lot of you voted for Soarin' I thought Soarin' was so overhyped, it was kinda boring and the effect of flying was lost on us because we could see the feet of the people in front and above us.

I say Expedition Everest and then Soarin.

We had such a blast on Expedition Everest this year!!

 

[PrincessAlways]

I'd say Soarin' -- there's nothing like it. RnR & EE are great coasters, but Soarin' is just a completely different experience!

I vote Everest, but Soarin is pretty good, too!

Same with me. I voted for Everest because I feel that since they opened Everest its a reason to go to AK (since we have been so many times in a short period of time I was going to not do AK but I have to since I LOVE EE I have to go to AK) but I do love Soarin but I would go to Epcot every trip regardless.

Hard to choose between Soarin' and EE. Have a great trip!
