Best Attractions at Disney World

Mission: Space is by far the best attraction at Disney World! (Though I'll never ride it again because I almost puked my guts out because some rider before puked his/her guts out and left traces of him/herself there. Yuk!) Next comes Rockin' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith, then The Tower of Terror, and finally, the Test Track in Epcot

My Top 10 Disney World Rides

10. Turtle Talk With Crush: Different Every time - quite funny! 9. Monsters Inc Laugh Floor: Very well done and A Lot of Fun! 8. Buzz Light Year Space Ranger Spin - Who doesn't like a chance to shoot a "laser cannon?" 7. Splash Mountain - One of the best water rides around! The whole Song of the South Theme is Great! 6. Animal Kingdom Safari: While I could do without the "drama" that Disney inlcudes with this attraction, it is neat to see animals in a quasi-natural setting. 5. Tower of Terror: Different every time. The free falls are the best! 4. Toy Story Mania: Once I figured out how to operate the cannon, my accuracy improved! 3. Test Track: The bumpy parts are ok, but nothing beats speeding around the track at 60 mph! 2. Expedition Everest: This is a fast, fun ride, but it is much better when the Yeti is working. 1. Soarin: What can I say? Even though this ride is the same every time, it still is the best ride Disney has! The imagineers out did themselves!

No Legend of the Lion King?

For the Animal Kingdom, I think Legend of the Lion King is an amazing show. My other choices are: Tower of Terror for MGM, Space Mountain for Magic Kingdom, and Test Track for Epcot.
