Alright, after much pondering, here's my rough list, obviously only of ones that currently exist:

10–Kilimanjaro Safaris (much too inconsistent to be higher—but probably for the best if it means the animals have that choice)

9–Monster Mansion (Mini-essay time: I only rode it when it was Plantation but from what I can tell it’s basically the same ride so whatevs. Before the-year-that-must-not-be-named, this probably wouldn't have even been considered for my top ten, while Splash Mountain probably would’ve been my #4. But given what’s come to light I would kind of like to forget about Splash, especially since it won’t even be a current attraction soon. I think I've really grown to appreciate MM looking back on it, as I appreciate the southern charm it provides without the undesirable origins—not to mention the grindhouse-y vibe it has. And yeah, it tickles me to no end that Six Flags actually made a good dark ride.)

8–Spaceship Earth (would be at least 7 with a halfway decent ending)

7--Dinosaur

6--Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

5--Living With the Land

4--Haunted Mansion

3--Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

2--Men in Black: Alien Attack

1--Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

(Based off the POVs and explanatory videos, Rise would likely be #3 ahead of Spidey, maybe #2 for when the interactivity on MIB doesn’t completely work. Pure speculation though.)
