splash mountain has been my favorite since 5th grade, but I rode space mountain for the first time this past christmas, and I loved it!

Oooh...I forgot how fun the Dinosaur ride was at Animal Kingdom...I don't know why Sarah and our friend Amanda were so scared of the T-rex at the end!

Y'all should have seen the pics of us on the ride...they were covering their eyes and cuddling together they were so scared!

Hey...it was a fun time though right Sarah?!

Alright this sucks...my reply just got deleted. Second try...

Thanks Carnation for the topic...it's one of my fave topics in the world!!

At Disneyland, I love:

The Matterhorn Bobsleds--There is nothing like this ride!! You literally feel like you're gonna fall off the icy mountain, off the cliffs. It feels so thrilling. Especially at midnight! I think you would enjoy this ride most at night...especially since the tunnels are full of pitch darkness then, and you don't know WHERE you are going to end up!

. I went on this 5 times in one day--that's how much I loved it!

Space/Splash Mtn.--Worth the 2-hour waits (literally!)

Big Thunder Mtn. Railroad--one of my fave roller coasters...sitting in the front car is so fun!! You really can't give this ride justice unless you ride at night--it's 10 times funner then, since you don't know when you're about to drop into the darkness! It's actually rumored to go much faster at night.

Astro Orbitor (Rockets)..you know, those rockets that you can maneuver on your own. I love that I can steer the rocket into the sky however high I want to be, and I can turn myself sideways into the sky too! Definitely not for those afraid of heights, or for those who want to get out quickly...again, one of those rides that are 10 times better at night. (If you ride it in the day-time, it goes really slowly - not very fun compared to nighttime.)

Autopia...You drive your car down a raceway. You go along curves, bridges...fun - though the car is hard to steer compared to real-life-cars. Plus you get to choose which kind of car you drive--a racecar, a coupe, or an off-road car. A really fun ride!

Snow White and Alice in Wonderland...I never get tired of these rides! The scenery in these rides is absolteuly amazing...it's so colorful!

Jungle Safari...it's perfect when it's dark, and b/c the river is peaceful and calm, it's the perfect romantic spot

Tea Cups--all the way!!!

Hey, anybody remember the Mission to Mars or the 50,000 leagues under the sea--or the rocket ride???

And what about those"E" tickets?

Steeltrap · #5 05-16-2001, 11:58 AM

Yes, I remember Tea Cups!

I also liked the Matterhorn,too.
But I didn't like Pirates of the Caribbean. Scary as all get-out.

I'm not sure what it is called, and It seems relatively new, and its not really a ride, however I really like the "attraction" where the take the good bugs and they send them and it makes them big and mean, and then the lights cut out. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, Its in Tomorrowland across from the Front of Space Mountain (Orlando not Anaheim).

Ok, I stumbled across thie old topic and just had to add my two cents. I LOVE Disneyland! I live 10 minutes away, so I practically grew up there. In high school, we all had annual passes, and our parents would just drop us off after school, because it's Disneyland, so they figured we couldn't get in too much trouble. But let me tell you, crazy sh!t happens there! One time, my friend and I were on the Haunted Mansion, and this voice comes oevr the loundspeaker and says "All guests must remain in an *upright* seated position. Thank you." We were cracking up!! And when we got off the ride, the girl in front of us was SO embarrased. Just remember, EVERYTHING at disneyland is monitered through video cameras, so no matter where you are, someone is watching you! (wow, that has such a big brother, 1984 ring to it!) Anyway, my favorite ride is definitely Thunder Mountain, although I'm also I huge fan of Tom Sawyer's Island Pirates of the Carribean...I still love that place; it always makes me feel like a kid again. Especially when they huge fireworks in the summer and they way they decorate the entire park at Christmas...aaawwwwww!

Oh my goodness, I am the biggest Disneyland freak!!! It is my favorite place in the world

. I make my boyfriend take me all the time! Anyways, I have a funny story, We were at disnetland at christmas time, and we went on "it's a small world," well for those of you who have been there know that small world is a MAJOR attraction at christmas because they re-decorate it. There were these two kids on the back of a full boat, who couldn't have been more than 15. They were totally making out for the entire ride, as soon as we got inside. It was so funny, when they were making out the guy had his eyes open the whole time looking around, just checking out the scene. I swear they didn't come up for a breath. The boat in front of, behind, and the boat they were on, every person was making a comment and one mom covered her daughter's eyes. when we got off the ride all three boats of people started clapping and the girl that was part of the make-out sesh goes "Whatever" hell of loud and rolls her eyes. It was so funny, and we even made friends on the ride due to it

Y'all were talking about Small World being redecorated for Christmas--my husband's Disney magazine just came and Disneyland will be redoing the Haunted Mansion from October to January in a theme from that movie, "The Nightmare Before Christmas". There'll be black sleighs instead of Doom Buggies, weird Christmas gifts in the ballroom, a graveyard in snow, Jack Skellington in the graveyard instead of the caretaker, and several other changes that'll be on the www.disneyland.com website.

I was such a lucky child...my aunt and unlce live outside of O-town so I went to MK every summer just about. Now we live in Florida and get resident discounts. I have been there 3 times this year

I will always love the Tea Cups bc I have such great memories of it being the last ride we went on and my dad making it spin really fast. Since he only has one arm I was always amazed he could make it go so fast.

It's a Small World is nice too.
Guess I'm a fan of the calm rides. But I have been on all three roller coasters!
The new ride Aladdin is fun too..like Dumbo but you can make the carpet tip forward or back along with it going up and down.
ahhh the list goes on...

Anyone here work for Disney? I do!! I work in California Adventure and I know that it has a bad rep, but my favorite ride there is Mullholland Madness. It's this little mini-rollar coaster that's so much fun. It's weird because I've never been to Florida, but we have It's Tough to be a Bug at DCA too. I think that my favorite ride at Disneyland is Space Mountain followed by Splash Mountain and then Thunder Mountain.

Fun topic!!
