What is your favorite ride at Disneyland and what makes the ride so special to you?
If someone whould ask me, I had to say that I couldent just pick one!
Because there is so meny of the rides that aply to me in different ways!
Pirates of the Carribean and Haunted Mansion is the atractions i have visited the most.
I`l never get tired of riding them, because you step inn to a magical world and live everything else behind.
These atractions are magical, and I always end up by singing "Yo ho Yo ho a pirates life for me" and humming to the Haunted Mansion song for meny days after i have returned back home!
Peter Pans flight, Snow white scary adventures and Pinocchio is also wery magical to me, I love going on these rides as you are floating thru these magical movies. I would wery mutch want to se more rides of classics made in these way.
Star Tour is also a big time favorite, but i would wery mutch like to se an upgrade on this ride!
Space Mountain,Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Indiana Jones is also wery god rides, that always make my adrenalin go sky hi!
All in all, i love almoust every ride as mutch, but i would have to say that Pirates, and Haunted Mansion is closest to my heart!

What do you think, who is your favorite?

My favorite attractions at DLP are, like yours, Pirates of the Caribbean and Phamtom Manor.

The theming of both rides is just great and both have a wonderful story to tell. Disney has never made better attractions than these two rides. I fell in love with them when I first visited DLRP in 2000. When we visit DLRP we have to do PotC and PM at least once a day. Without them it isn't a Disney day for me.

I also like SM, BTM, Peter Pan's Flight, Snow White, Star Tours and Buzz a lot, but they will never reach PM and PotC. I can't wait to ride them again.

Most definitley Tower of Tower! Never had a bad cast member there, they all get into the part so well and each time I ride I stil get that "sinking feeling" when the doors close! I agree with the comments about the Disney classics like POTC PM and BTM, but it has to be Tower of Terror every time for me, so roll on Saturday when I ride it at the Terrorific Night2!!

Try Star Tours then, you will love it and they might turn it to star tours 2 'soon' (somewhere within the next 8 years).

My favo attractions are Phantom Manor, Tower of Terror and Big Thunder Mountian.
Up till 2005 Space Mountian was my favorite... we all know what happened after that...

Pirates of the Caribbean for me - from the queuing area, the music, the magnificence of the actual ride and music - it's just perfect. It's also a nice warm place to go when it's cold and wet outside. As much as I like the films, I actually like that they haven't yet gone down the route of adding characters from them, like they have in WDW.

After that it's Phantom Manor, Buzz Lightyear Lazer Blast and It's A Small World.

I love thrill rides so my favourite is Tower of Terror! Not only is it exciting, but it has the amazing Imagineering and best cast members in the park.
Honourable mention to Big Thunder though, without a doubt the most fun ride in the parks!

Same here! I hope they will bring it back one day! Especially the music!

I wonder though what is your favorite Fantasyland Darkride? (or should I start a new topic?)

Rock n Roller Coaster for me. Awesome ride, great queuing area too along with the Aerosmith Studio video section. The Countdown at the start gets me going everytime.

Other favourites are Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain (for repeat rides) and Buzz Lightyear for a laugh.
