What is the best ride at the two parks and why?

[wallawallakids]

Dca: incredicoaster. Hands down my favorite ride in Disneyland.

DL: Big Thunder Mtn. I just love that ride. Only exception is that I’m the weirdo who loves the HyperSpace mtn overlay. So that is my favorite ride when that occurs.

DL: Haunted Mansion. So heavily themed, so many details and so relaxing.
Close 2nd: Pirates. Also theming and details, but above that I have memories of riding it with my family when it was new.

DCA: Soarin' (California > World). Relaxing and immersive.
Close 2nd: RSR. Great theming and like 3 rides in one--the Western sightseeing, prepping with the animated cars and the race.

Disneyland: Rise of the Resistance (was blown away by the immersive nature!)

California Adventure: Soaring over California (if only world is running I'd go with Incredicoaster).

Disneyland: Rise of the Resistance. It has almost everything, some thrills, getting to walk through an amazing Pre show and the ride just works so well. Its amazing and while I love HM and Big Thunder, ROTR is just next level that we might not see from Disney in the US for a longggg time

DCA: This one is harder. I I would say mostly it was OG Soarin but now I would say its radiator springs racers, its only weakest for me is the Q which is good but...just isn't as amazing as HM or ROTR Q.

I just rewatched the Cars movies as I was making my new Cars outfit and man, newfound love for CarsLand! They really did nail it, I just hadn't realized before how PERFECT it is...i used to pooh-pooh Sh-Boom but no more! I 'll be out there dancin' too!

Disneyland: Rise of the Resistance closely followed by the classics (Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, Pirates)

DCA: Incredicoaster followed by Radiator Springs Racers. Would probably add Guardians too if it hadn't have been shut when I visited (lifelong Tower fan)

 

[Wildcat1144]

Disneyland: Indy (Pirates is a close 2nd for me)

DCA: Guardians

Least Favorite

Disneyland: Cartoon Spin

DCA: Spiderman
