    Man this is hard....

    1. ToT (I have not ridden EE. So I'm terribly sorry to all EE lovers, who might lose due to its "newness."

    2. Pirates (ah!! I still don't know how I feel about this one.) I changed my answer twice before deciding upon this one. The only reason I picked Pirates over Splash is because when I was a kid I was terrified of the big drop and would not ride initially. So I see Pirates as a ride EVERYONE in the family can enjoy.

    1 - Philharmagic. Tough call because it's not a 'thrill-ride' or anything, but DW and I just love it so much. I walked in not knowing anything about it except that it was a 3D show, and was blown away every 30 seconds by the sounds, lights, water, smells, everything. Philharmagic is one of the attractions that started my obsession with WDW.


    The rest is a multi-way tie between SM, ToT, HM, EE... *sigh*, too many.

    1. Expedition Everest. . . the greatest roller coaster at Walt Disney World hands down!
    2. Splash Mountain. . . I love the music, the theming, the drop, and everything about it!

    1. Tower of Terror- It's still my favorite attraction at WDW.

    2. Splash Mountain- This one has at least a little bit of everything that makes for a great attraction.

    My sister in law and I were just talking about possibly doing a family trip in DC and I was looking for things for the younger ones (they'll be 2,3,5 when we go) to do. I found this site. It might help you out.

    SPLASH MOUNTAIN!!

    It's been my number one choice since the voting started!

    And, Thanks to DZNYGUY - great poll and great job setting up the brackets! This has been fun.

    Of these two, Splash Mtn....
    But the upsets of RnRC, EE, and TSMM put my fourth favorite ride in a position to win it all....kinda like the March Madness of the last few years!

    And as with the March Madness of the last few years, I enjoyed each round, even when my picks were eliminated. Great thread....

    Maybe next time, we could do a double elimination. as they do with NCAA baseball!

    I have to go with Splash Mountain, though these are both worthy choices. Great theming, storyline, execution, and thrills. The addition of animatronics and classic characters put Splash up a notch for me.

    This was really fun! Thanks for running it, Dznyguy.

    This has been a blast! I definitely have to go with Splash Mountain on this one!

    ToT is good, but I am a little surprised it made it this far.
    Now I can't wait to get there in July and ride all of my fav picks!!

    I have to say SPLASH Mountain! While TOT is very cool, the re-ride ability is lacking a bit. I find that it is not an " I have to do this every time" kind of ride, where as Splash Mountain is something I love doing and I see something new every time and that is over many many years.

    Have thought long and hard about this one. Two of my all time favourites and both deserving finalists. However my vote is going to:

    Splash Mountain

    Giggy's Review

    As said a tough one for me as they are both rides up there as my favourites. Both have done well to beat popular new rides in earlier rounds, Splash Moutain taking out Soarin while Tower of Terror managed to knock out Toy Story Mania, a ride i was half expecting to cruise to victory in this competition as it seemed to be a hit. However I'm glad these two reached the final as they are timeless Disney classics.

    I have gone for Spash Mountain as an overall winner simply because it is a diverse ride. It is a ride with everything you could want in a Disney ride making it fitting of the title ULTIMATE Disney Attraction. I also think it has a more diverse appeal in terms of guests at the park. That said i am surprised to see it winning by this margin, Tower of Terror is a brilliant ride.

    As people have already said, well done for organising this DZNYGUY, I think we have all enjoyed taking part.

    Tower of Terror

    Both are fab, but really I enjoy the drop ride more than an old timey floom ride.

    Sure the bells and whistles of Splash may be better, the attention to detail the songs etc...

    but for pure thrills you can not beat the "Tower" plus.....Splash Mountian always breaks down when I ride!

    "Anywho" both are deserving.
    Loads of trips since 1974...
