Final Four, lets get to it


4. Haunted Mansion: This is specifically for the Orlando version, as I found the California version to far inferior. This ride is simple, yet the effects and fun of it all make it one of the top rides in the world in my opinion. The scene in the large dining room is my favorite ride scene of all time, and the ride through the cemetary is also one of the best rides scenes you can find. The preshow in the stretching elevator is also one of the best preshows for an attraction and sets the mood perfectly. There is something fun and special about this ride that makes it one of my all time favorites. The "ghost host" plays a part in it as well, as you really feel like you are getting your own personal tour of this ghostly mansion. The number one ride in the Magic Kingdom, and number four in the world.


3. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman: No, not number one, but super close. This ride actually did hold my title as number one ride for four years after the first time I went on it, but has since seen its position drop a couple. To me the most telling thing that can be said about this ride is that it was built 15 years ago and yet still today it remains one of the most technologically advanced rides in the world. Even after 15 years! The beginning of the ride when Spiderman jumps onto your car remains one of my favorite ride moments. Each villain gets their own scene and chance to steal the show before Spiderman fights them all in an awe inspiring sequence on top of the New York skyscrapers. In a park filled with roller coasters and tall rides with big thrills, this ride continues to draw the longest lines. The fact that its not number one is a true testament to the top 2 rides.
