Bryce Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Ride facades are important to many differently themed attractions in how they help build up the "story" to the ride itself. Ride facades also often stand out as being completely mesmerizing in how detailed they are as they help to draw you to the attraction itself. However, it's hard to pick favorites because of just how good some of the facades are out there. Though, I would still pick my favorites as... 1. The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror (Disney's Hollywood Studios) 2. Poseidon's Fury (Universal's Islands of Adventure) 3. Mystery Mine (Dollywood) 4. The Haunted Mansion (Magic Kingdom) 5. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (Universal's Islands of Adventure) 6. Radiator Springs Racers (Disney's California Adventure) 7. Revenge of the Mummy (Universal Studios Florida) 8. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls (Universal's Islands of Adventure) Runners Up: 1. Men in Black: Alien Attack (Universal Studios Florida) 2. Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom) 3. Mission: Space (Epcot) 4. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (Universal's Islands of Adventure) 5. Journey to Atlantis (SeaWorld Orlando) (Lists not in order) What are some of your favorite ride facades?
Oryp Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I second all of the ones already mentioned. Expedition Everest and Spaceship Earth are also pretty high on the list for me. I like Rock n Roller coaster and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad as well.
Koasterking48 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Some other impressive facades are The Little Mermaid at WDW and Simpsons at USF. Also, anything at DisneySea. I wish I could visit that park!

eBen Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 It's a Small World. You know exactly what your in for when you see that.
Randomman295 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Either Nemesis or Oblivion. Now that I think of it more, definitely Oblivion. It has a really creepy backstory.
kissrox101 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I'm in love with the House of Horrors facade ad USH!
SoCalCoasters Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I'd definitely go with Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland. There's no queue quite as unique as that one due to it's location and length, and the facade is a great gateway piece.
azza29 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 ^Definitely one of the best facade/queue/ride combos - really adds to the 'exploring a lost temple' theme. Haunted Mansion at DL is another favourite of mine, especially when it's dressed up for Halloween/Christmas.
