#2: ET

Great thread, @scott_walker; this has ripped my family apart! :grin::box:

My wife:
1 Mummy
2 Jurrasic Park River Adventure
3 Transformers
4 Big Thunder Mountain
5 Expedition Everest

Holy crap let's talk about how many ways this is plain wrong. Spider-man and Splash. Yeesh.

My 11-year-old-son:
1 Mummy
2 Jurrasic Park River Adventure
3 Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket
4 Kong
5 One Fish Two Fish

Ugh, what?

Truth be told, we do talk about and go on a few of those way more as a family and I think they may be biased. :grin: As opposed to stupid. :bolt:

We pretty much go on everything multiple times though, and love them all except for Shrek and Storm and the Dinoland carnival rides.

To be fair if you like just pure fun and nothing really going wrong or being overly thrilling those rides are great for it.

Heh, Fallon & HE are still Alene's favorite rides. We did each a ton of times since Alene adores them....With Fallon, it's nice to have a "smooth" simulator for a change. And it's Ragtime Gals/Hashtag the Panda are great pre shows. Heck, they could be a show/attraction by themselves.
