"16 Disney Rides You Need to Ride" LOL

[Stefien Quix]

This was just published to a web company called Thrillist. Look, it's been about 10 years since I was last at WDW and even I know this list is BS. The comments at the bottom also reflect my thoughts. Don't know where this guy got his list or how old it is, but I guess if maybe his goal was to write a list that would cause a lot of traffic by everyone disagreeing with him, he succeeded?

Oh, and just in case people don't feel like generating the company the click-throughs, here's his list:

Magic Kingdom
Haunted Mansion
Space Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Jungle Cruise
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Epcot
The Seas with Nemo and Friends
Test Track
Soarin'

Animal Kingdom
Killmanjaro Safari
Expedition Everest
Dinosaur

Hollywood Studios
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!
Toy Story Mania
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Star Wars: The Adventure Continues

Lists generate clicks. And I bet this thread will too.

Outside of not listing the Pandora stuff, I don't see that much of an issue. I didn't read the article though, did he drop a caveat that he/she hadn't been to the parks in 3 years?

What's wrong with this list?

 

[Sparkly]

I don't know, sounds a pretty solid list. I wouldn't ride Expedition Everest and would replace Indiana Jones with one of the new rides, but that's about it.

No, in fact, he claimed that he was a Disney "super nerd" and that these WERE the best rides.

List seems fine to me. Minus not having flight of passage and mine train.

Maybe wasn’t updated

 

[Stefien Quix]

It's missing Flight of Passage, Mission: Space, Splash Mountain, Rock 'N Roller Coaster, Slinky Dog, Frozen Ever After, and Seven Dwarf's Mine Train, and has things like the Seas with Nemo and Friends and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, which is not a ride.

The list is an opinion piece no?

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

...and a lot of people HATE Mission:Space.

Maybe he meant rides and attractions? Who cares. Outside of not listing FoP, I don't see anything wrong with the list.

 

[TheRealTeal]

I agree, it's a great list. I would add Teacups though.

Its not a bad list, but outdated.
As mentioned, it has attractions as well as rides ( hard to ride a show, by the title).
And missing Flight of Passage, Splash Mountain, RnR, Slinky Dog, Frozen Ever After, and Seven Dwarf's Mine Train. Mission Space could be added, but I think its a 50/50 love it, hate it.
