29yrswithaGApass Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Everyone has one... an attraction that they consider the best ride experience of all time. Fast or slow, indoors or outdoors, family or thrill, operating or defunct.... what is yours? My all time favorite ride was one of the best classic Disney dark rides, Horizons at EPCOT Center. Demolished and replaced by Mission Space, Horizons was a 15 minute omnimover experience which explored "future living". Considered the sequel to the NY World's Fair classic Carousel of Progress, Horizons made use of every trick Disney developed to date. Horizons at EPCOT Center: Click here to read about the ride on Wikipedia. Click here for photos of the demolition of Horizons in 2000. Click here for a tribute video on YouTube.

The Master Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Horizions was such a great ride! I really liked the retrofuture sections and the space station section besides the cool choose your ending. World of Motion which was next door (replaced by Test Track) was also a great ride. The late Ward Kimball helped design World of Motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d a n n y Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 My tie for #1 are The Incredible Hulk Coaster and Revenge of the Mummy The top defunct ones, which I would both prefer to ANY other living or defunct rides are Kongfrontation and Back to the Future: The Ride I miss them both so much...

29yrswithaGApass Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 ^ I was always amazed at the size of the Roosevelt Tram cars and the overhead track system used in Kongfrontation. Very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've always loved Peter Pan's Flight. It's a classic dark ride, simple, elegant, and I love the suspended car system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up_Up_and_Away Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 What, nobody's mentioned Tango? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Indiana Jones Adventure and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye in Disneyland, Dinosauar is based on it. I would say Dorney's Talon is the best inverted coaster I have been on. Mr. Freeze is the best LIM coaster.

darkridedan Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Horizons, for sure! Spaceship Earth would be my current favorite operating ride. Wood: Hades Steel: S:ROS SFNE Spin: Jump Flat: Rye Whip Water Ride: Dorney's rapids Water Slide: family raft at Mt Olympus Spook House: Spookarama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winfield Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 The perfect ride to me always was Drachen Fire. I found everything about the ride to be exciting from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I found this cool website called Horzions1.com, worth a look for any fan of Horzions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upallnite Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I may be alone here but I did love The Outer Limits Flight of fear at Kings Dominion (indoor/enclosed ride) LIM catapult roller coaster that was later re themed to cut out the outer limits tie in. Maybe because this was my first LIM coaster or I was digging the theme but what a rush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycloneMan Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 ^^I have to say, Stitch's Great Escape might be the worst Disney ride ever! Up there with Raging Spirits and Primeval Whirl! In my opinion, the worlds greatest ride is Journey To The Center of The Earth at Tokyo DisneySea. It's a perfect mix of dark ride end high speed thrill ride! The queue gets you prepared for the ride with the elevator and the whole experience is just breath taking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnerleroy Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Primeval Whirl isn't so bad, but Stitch IS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
