Favorite rides

My favorite ride definately has to be the Spider-Man ride at islands of adventure. 3D+Motion simulator+hobgoblin= pwnsome. I also like the hulk ride, but I like the spider-man ride more, because:
1. It has a theme
2. Spider-man is my favorite super-hero of all friggin time
3. audience is involved more
post your favorite rides!

Hi! Welcome to the boards!
I can't, absolutely can't pick only one favourite!
  • I love Dueling Dragons (front row of course to be able to see the near collisions best!). I keep going through the re-entry door when I get off it so I can ride again.
  • I absolutely love the launch of The Hulk! If the queue wasn't so lame, I'd reride it a lot more.
  • MIB is so much fun that I have to keep going back on it.
  • The Mummy - I always ham it up for the camera on that one and have reduced grown men to tears of laughter when they've seen my "terrified" face on the screen afterwards.
  • And I totally agree that Spiderman is a great ride!

Hard to choose but I'll select the ones I'd ride over and over again if time allowed:
USF: The Mummy and Men In Black (maybe E.T. because he never gets my name right)
IOA: Hulk and Dueling Dragons (ice more than fire - but my kids prefer fire)

I'm not a big thrill ride fan, so my favourite is ET at Universal Studios.
